    The stock prices wouldn’t be affected except in the short term. The fundamentals of the companies wouldn’t change and so the price would recover quickly. Any dip is due to a temporary imbalance of buyers and sellers.

    These stock sales would likely be spread over longer durations so as not to crash the price which would also be bad for the billionaires because they would have to sell more stock to cover the tax.
