It's a lot of people holding the stock, you are expecting everybody to just not do it.

Private companies are different, but on publicly traded ones it tends to happen.

(Oh, you may mean that printing money part. It's a lot of people holding that money, eventually somebody will want to buy something real with it and inflation explodes.)
