Epic day today. I love days like today. It worked out well because I had a nearly unprecedented credit card bill this month, and I was still able to easily gain in net worth. [Reply]

It seems like the market massively overreacts to every bit of news that points toward a slowdown.
I saw an article today where some random investment banker said, "This is a data-driven market right now," and I agree. Every day produces some random report that's a small part of the big picture, and every day the market acts like that random report is a revelation of the future. [Reply]

I just think there's not much going on right now. We're up a lot. There's elections and we'll see if the economy holds up in the 4th q. Wait to see if AI starts to really make productivity boosts and profits for anyone not selling the hardware. I think that might take some time. [Reply]

How much of that reaction comes from the algorithms? I'm no expert but at this point I think the algorithms start the big selloffs. They'll pick up a headline and boom! [Reply]

That's my theory, too. I think a lot of it is automated. [Reply]

That's not new.
Even in the old world of brokers, you could put on stops, and a little price movement triggers your stops, then the next guys and the next guys, and a small movement gets exacerbated. Old futures traders still talk about "running stops".
I think "trading algorithms" that move any volume have gotten more refined.
Financials don't look terrifying. Any idea why they ate shit so bad? I mean everything did, but almost 60% is a lot. Was it just their Q42023 sales decline?
Looks like a pretty good play to me.
Dropped another 12% today.

Investors took action, and that's why Celsius stock was down a painful 12% as of 3:15 p.m. ET.
Sounds like inventory was just stuffed and the brand is still doing really well. Expanding internationally is probably the next big step. [Reply]
