A massive shift in how the stockmarket is viewed has occurred.
Stocks were once viewed as an investment in generational wealth. The value of the stocks was important for your entire lifetime.
A shift occurred where they are now treated almost like gambling. Shareholder value seeks to maximize profit over the short term, divest, and move on to the next company. There is absolutely no thought given to the value of the company in a hundred, or fifty, or even twenty years.
House flipping, but with public companies instead of real estate.
Valve is a private company. The owner has a direct incentive to maintain the value of his company long-term. Not only is it providing a livelihood to him, but when he dies, it will continue to provide for his children for as long as it exists.
