So if the exchange price for BTC does not drop by the same amount of the exchange price for B2X, a fork essentially means money (dollars) is generated out of nothing and given to me as the owner of now 2 coins (one of each type)?

Or in the opposite case, a fork could mean I lose money, just because somebody else decided to create fork?

In fairness you could also lose money because it's Bitcoin and its value is all over the place, fork or no fork
