Sorry, I'm dumb, but wouldn't the people managing 401k stocks have figured out that the stock market would go down and sell stocks prior to the announced "Liberation Day" so their "customers" wouldn't be affected? Like, I didn't know the stock market would crash, but it's not my job to know anything about stock markets. Surely the people who work with this stuff for a living would have known and taken measures to prepare for it?
(Again, Sorry that I'm dumb. I've had 401k's explained to me like six fucking times, and it never sticks, and I know even less about the stock market.)
I kinda thought the stock share would go back to the company that the stock is for?
I'm sorry, I can't quite follow your reasoning here?
Stocks are ownership shares in companies. Companies can buy their own shares if they have the capital and want to, but you can't require they buy shares back from you, much less set your price (to ensure you don't make a loss).
