The REAL reason for dropping prices?

Yeah but over time the prices of stocks tend to increase where as ball pythons tend to decrease. A stock could decrease too, but in the long run the market tends to increase.

I think these are different animals. Stocks don't reproduce, unless you consider paying dividends as reproduction, and even then it's too slow of a rate to make a good analogy.

Imagine your pastel female is $400 when you buy her, now worth $200. But you end up selling some babies and come out say $400 ahead. Then really her value has increased because she's paid you a $400 dividend.
