Stock-trading apps fall under the feet of stampeding panicking investors

As stock markets suffered a bit of a wobble today, share-trading apps and sites fell over as investors barreled in to see how badly their portfolios had been hit. Depending on your perspective, Monday was either a global meltdown or a passing dip. Billionaire Wall Street ace Warren Buffett – who previously said if you can't …

Good time to buy

I actually sold some last week near the top, then dived in again today near the bottom.

Re: Good time to buy

But is it at "the bottom", or does it have further to go and the "new normal" might be lower than todays bottom :-p

“that over-hyped AI has overcooked the market and the bubble is about to burst”

That’s not a growing concern; it’s reality intruding on the party.

Probably a good day to buy some cheap shares. Not Crowdstike or AI,of course.

Odd, I thought cs was built around a mainframe

Clunky looking, but rock solid.

Obviously not.

I'd suggest there is a sentiment that the FOCF might win*

*Given the diligent way they've been packing the election officials in swing states ready to scream "election fraud" this is more than a possibility, along with the Weasel-in-chief Mike I-am-in-the-top-12%-of-american's-pay-but-have-no-bank-account Johnson has been vigorously kissing the ring of the Orange Jesus this should be taken seriously.

Trolls out in force today.

But seriously.

You'd be blind to think other nations are discounting who wins in November. The FOCF winning will result in a s**tstorm.

It will very definitely not be BAU.

Don't like, don't choose a whinny ass man child career criminal as a candidate.

Or his Swivel Eyed Loon yes-man understudy.

Re: Trolls out in force today.

What are you on about?

Looking up the meaning of FOCF, I get "Free Operating Cash Flow" which is a business term and can't "win" per se. The other definition is "Friends Of the Capital Forest", a mountain biking organization out of Olympia, Washington.

So you are afraid of a mountain biking organization winning the election?

Re: Trolls out in force today.

Mountain bikers ... want everyone out enjoying the fresh air ... take down the stock-market apps — it all fits. We're through the looking-glass now, people!

"Looking up the meaning of FOCF"

I see you don't post often and you're inferencing skills are quite limited.

How about if I told you it stood for "Fat Old Convicted Felon"? A both legally and factually correct description of the person I'm thinking of. 34 Felony convictions to be exact. He hasn't been sentenced, but he has been convicted. By 12 citizens of NYC.

And bearing in mind the context of this story is mostly American who might you plausibly think I was talking about?

Have a little think about it and see where that takes you, if it takes you anywhere.

Re: Trolls out in force today.

I'm begging sincerely here. Can we please, please just discuss the topic at hand for once without Trump, either by name or by indecipherable acronyms, being mentioned? Trump sucks, yes. We all know that. Kamala sucks too, though. That's a dilemma we'll have to deal with in November. However I vote or don't vote, it definitely won't be a vote swayed by a Trump-hating or Harris-hating post I saw in a comment section somewhere so I'm not sure who you guys think you're convincing. Please, man, keep your politics to yourself.

[John Smith 19]

"please just discuss the topic at hand for once without Trump, "

Tried that.

Still got 3 downvotes.

Since you're so keen to discuss the topic at hand perhaps you could share some of your insights into the multiple failures that have occurred?

I'm always keen on learning more from a different PoV.
