Why the stock market is like a yard sale

a: the stock market ~
b: a yard sale

What: "Now think of your (or, today, if you're lucky, other people's) stocks. Think of a market collapse as a yard sale or Freecycle. Your old armchair or cell phone is, basically, worthless. So are shares in a company that goes bankrupt."
