I don’t understand finance. But with tech I can often see from a mile if something might happen, I don’t have ideas, but I understand „this solves a problem“ or „this is high quality“ versus „this is made up“ or „someone else will do this better“.

In my opinion the issue with the stock market is that it is often finance driven and too drawn away from the actual work that is being done and the actual needs and problems potential buyers have. And this problem is specifically worse in tech.
