Is this based on the new valuation methods that put a 8 month old company at 3 Trillion because it would a cool? It is it based on actual revenue and stockholder return?

Just like the housing market, business evaluations are over inflated as fuck.

Now I’m even more confused. “Private” I thought some of these were publicly traded, but all the biggies I checked they are not.

That’s my mistake, I was thinking publicly traded. So it beggars the question of the valuation is such, how does the value ever get out of it, since without a public method to invest it’s all just unrealized gains internal to the business.

Right?
