Facebook shareholders are getting fed up with Zuckerberg but can’t do anything

I've come around to the idea that stocks have an intrinsic value as collateral/store of value.

I saw that with a family that owned a condemned property. They couldn't rent it but they sure could borrow against the land price (ever rising) minus the cost of demo'ing the old building.

I also think stocks tend to keep up with/beat inflation and thus are better than cash as a store of value.

Bingo.

So long as asset value inflates, it's good for cash via loans. The moreso if asset inflation > nominal interest rates.
