      It would be bought. That’s how stocks work. If there is a promising company, there will be interested buyers.

        Well, penny stocks exist. It’s possible that Tencent suddenly liquidating their 30% share could bottom out the share value temporarily. If the market decided that Tencent liquidating their holdings was a sign that the company was going under, that should drive the price down, correct?

        Clearly yours is because that’s not a normal response to someone asking a reasonable question.
