Absolutely this. Imagine what a Facebook millionaire could buy when the stock was above 200 and now 140. 30% less down payment, no? Imagine what an Apple employee could put down at 235 vs at 140? Imagine what a Netflix employee could put down by cashing out at 400? Of course rates matter but from what I hear they will not go up much more from here. Eventually these companies will recover and most of them will go higher (they are becoming de facto monopolies) and the watch the prices although it may be a couple of years, but you never know, the stock printing machine is still running.
