Well there is the amc/ gamestop stock crazyness going on right now as well.
Also looks like japan only dropped 40% last year over most parts of the world dropping 60 to 90% thanks to demon slayer the movie, pokemon and doreamon! Anime saves the day again in japan! Looks like the movie chains will be fine there. Also note japan is not as in to digital movies as much also! They still have video stores that rent movies, music cds and mangas (yes rent mangas!) there! They do have netfilx and disney plus however.
Japan is now the 3rd biggest movie country in the world behind usa and china who passed usa.

Speaking of demon slayer, it and pixars soul have singlehandedly helped koreas box office!
Together they lifted nationwide theatrical revenues by 30% compared with the previous, dismal session.

Why, when regular folks manipulate the stock, is it crazy, madness? But when it's brokers, then it's smart, savvy?

I said crazy due to people making a big deal over it and not saying what i think of it. I don't care about stocks at all but it did save amc from dying so i'm reporting it!

And when the craze ends, the stock price will plummet and AMC will be in more debt than it started.

Nope. AMC sold stocks to pay it off so they will still be fine! Now they just need to worry about this year and the virus.

Yeah AMC went from $3 to $4 a share to almost $20, if they took advantage of the high they made a killing.
There came a time when the Old Gods died! The Brave died with the Cunning! The Noble perished locked in battle with unleashed Evil! It was the last day for them! An ancient era was passing in fiery holocaust!

Well that's not entirely true, as a recollection of junk bonds will testify.

I guess I'm just super-aware of how language is used to push a point of view. The actual explanation of what's going on is really boring and hard to follow--so it's easier for news sources to sexy it up and call it insane, wild, crazy. As if everyone's at Studio 54 snorting coke off Madonna's cone bra.

I'd clarify by saying that the actual explanation is really easy to follow...But immensely boring. It's the DC insurrection without anyone leaving their home. A few people, who ultimately will be meaningless, are trying to lift a finger to forces they don't understand or even really care about.they have no understanding about what they are doing or why. They're just dogs chasing a car. Originally Posted by Jim Kelly

But there isn't a good way to show it on CNN, so I'd suggest reading The Post myself.

Dan has already been on-point in his analysis. He’s one of the few You Tubers with a firm understanding on how the business works.
