sonnymax Posted October 21, 2022 Report Posted October 21, 2022 Good one, Jim. Thankfully, the accused isn't familiar with The Simpsons. Homer: “Or what? You'll release the dogs? Or the bees? Or the dogs with bees in their mouths and when they bark, they shoot bees at you? Well, go ahead! Do your worst!”

JSngry Posted October 28, 2022 Report Posted October 28, 2022 Jesus. I scanned the ZeroHedge link (as I now do all of this posters' links) and didn't see anything obvious (unlike some of the other sites....). But WHOOP there it is. And now what are we doing? Creating a doomsday scenario where Amazon & Meta crash the global economy? To what end? Jesus.
GA Russell Posted October 28, 2022 Author Report Posted October 28, 2022 Did Amazon stock lose 20% in one day? Did Meta stock lose 24.5% in one day? If so, why? What are the implications? Let's try to avoid thread drift.

Wouldn’t we have all heard about that, if it had? It’d be one of the top stories for a couple days. I listen to Marketplace for on NPR every morning (a couple different 10-minute segments, at 5:50am and 7:50am every weekday) — and I haven’t heard a PEEP about Amazon or Meta loosing that much value in one day. Why are we putting up with posts like that? — which should really be deleted, when they’re clearly disreputable.

Jim, it seems to me that because "Amazon and Meta are two fundamentally different companies," the fact that both should suffer a severe decline in revenue at the same time should be a greater cause for concern.

If you read the WSJ or a good financial section, you will get your answers. In addition, a google search will also give you your answers. In the case of Meta, their revenue dropped, which is somewhat attributable to competition with Tik Tok and their metaverse division is hemorrhaging money, and will continue to do so. When your revenue drops, Wall Street is not happy. Unless you’re an investor this shouldn’t be cause for concern.

And, given the cost of $2, had they chosen the 'cheaper' option but for being "lied" to, it's about .20 damages. Let's treble that and call it sixty cents. The plaintiff's bar sucks, they want nothing but to raid some deep pockets with the lawyers getting most of the money. That's the purpose.

Kevin Bresnahan Posted November 1, 2022 Report Posted November 1, 2022 1 hour ago, Dub Modal said: Stock losses alone are poor barometers of broad economic indications. Stock losses also seem to have little to do with the health of a company's business. I work at a large company and I can't tell you how many times our stock price has dropped after they reported record earnings, mainly because some stock weenie decided that the record earnings weren't as high as they wanted. Stock values are too closely tied to growth. A company can kick major ass and report billions of dollars in revenues and still get killed in the stock market because they didn't meet the market's growth expectations. I think it's ridiculous that a billion dollar company can be considered "failing" because their growth is in the single digits. This "grow or die" mentality is really messed up.
