I don't think people are ready for how hard some of these names are going to bounce back. Moves like these with no solid reasoning behind them can only go down so much, its simply a technical reversal that needed to happen. I feel like markets are frustrated with a number of things: The most brutal metals crash ever, crypto, the previous actions and future expectations of the fed. There is a lot to be annoyed by but I'm a bull for the foreseeable future.

Fear and greed index works well for seasoned investors
It’s a slight market correction that was expected for a while, even crypto will likely bounce back hard.
Great time to buy stocks at a discount, I’m putting a lot more weight in Microsoft and Alphabet especially.
The market is down 3%
There is a solid reason. Institutions commonly take profit when the market gets really high.
It will bounce back when the panic sellers are done and the institutions buy at a much reduced price.
It’s a recurring cycle we’ve seen over and over.
The “AI will destroy software” sell-off has to be the dumbest one, yet.
Which names?
Either a bot or a fool giving advice with no support other than good “vibes”. Why others can’t know 100% if the market will have a big drop, you give no support to why it will bounce back and you don’t know 100% either.
First step, learn why people are saying it will drop.
Once you can explain their position, then you can start to argue why it is wrong in your opinion.
Cash is king right now. The economy is in rough shape – look at the Cass freight index, FRED total jobs, sub-prime defaults are record high. S&P P/E is absurd. Something’s got to give.
Lol sure Jan
‘no solid reasoning’ investors don’t like seeing giant spending with zero immediate pay off. So far like what a trillion bucks were spent on AI infrusturcture and it isn’t slowing down?
Put my fries in the bag
Thanks for marking the start of the next Great Recession.
Oh no we’re only up 12.3% year over year in the SPY, the sky is falling, the sky is falling!
Correction? Bear trap? Spy is down 3%… What’s the problem?
If you’re too overweighted in tech stocks and down 20%, that’s not the market crashing. That’s an undiversified portfolio.
Does no one in r/investing actually just…invest in the market? VOO and chill?
Just put 50k into TQQQ. Will buy more if it drops tomorrow.
