What If Amazon Went to $0?

What if Amazon went to $0? Not a crash call. A cartoon. You still tap the app. A box can still land on the porch. That box is not the share. A share is a leftover claim on the shop. If the shop goes broke, owners are last in line. Dummy picture: lenders, then workers and suppliers in their slots, then preferred, then common. Stock at $0 means the owners’ leftover is empty. Chapter 11 can keep the trucks rolling while equity is wiped. Shop ≠ ticket. Amazon’s claim was a $3T pile at the August 2026 print. That is how big the leftover can be — and how empty it can get. Homework: know last-in-line. Not “sell Amazon.” Not a forecast. Not financial advice. Educational and entertainment only.
