Investing (aka GameStonk and other gambling events)

Some reasons why some companies might not get crushed as hard as we might expect, pulled from another thread:

So they hold onto all the money, lay a bunch of people off, collect some interest or ROI on the money while limiting their overhead/expenses, then resume operations in a year. As opposed to refunding all the money, laying people off, having no liquidity and trying to hang on white knuckle tight for a year.
