it is actually positive, but for people that have 5% knowledge, they see bank profit suffering.

but people that look at the ECONOMY, it is a positive thing.

bad debt is an even worse nightmare for bank, comparing with 6 months DELAYED profit.
long term its positive, short term is nothing ( comparing with US Market meltdown )

Imagine you got several house that you havent finish paying their loan. You rent out these houses to people and collect rent.

Suddenly government issue order saying people affected by Covid 19 can delay their rent for 6 months but you must continue paying your loan for your houses and you have several renters affected by covid.

Long term no effect, but short term maybe huge effect. But unless this spread continues uncontrolled, its not THAT huge of an effect.

if share price lower, they happy.

they buy back the share, means they give less divident out. ahhahahaha

like head count la. less headcount to outsider, means less profit to outsider. haha.

Share price go up or down has no direct effect on the company's business or asset most of the time... Its just a reflection of investors' confidence in the company... Investor have confidence in your company, your share price flies. Investor have no confidence in your company, your share price drops.

Go back to the investors who make money via short seller. The money still there, but the investor will opt for safer instrument like bond or gold. So, stock market lose which indicates weak economy.

Share prices doesn't affect a company profit. Like your example, Maxis shares price up or down doesn't affect their profit or loss.

This however affects investors.

pension funds

they got burned.
BUT, USA can print money so its fine
