But this absurd fetishism over drops has to stop. Look at the last year. People who baulk at these kind clearly haven't been watching the markets over the past few years. This stuff happens.
Nobody posts about the jumps. And they add up. Well, here's a drop and it's left everyone in the black over 12 months.
Long term if it tanks it tanks and then we can post about it. Markets are computerised now and big swings are common.
Edit: last comment as I've hit the hacker news "you're submitting too fast on a banking thread" thing. Directed to the child comment (not pejorative):
Last one according to the guy above was 2011. We have elections every 4 years and the banks crash the system now and again.
5 years back it was nearly half this. I fail to understand how a 5% dip is shocking, except for people feeling the sky is falling because Trump got in and want to scrawl supporting evidence.
What was life like for all the HN downvoters when it was 1200?
- kasey_junk 10y agoSustained swings like this are not common. I'll agree short term number fetishism is a problem but this implies the markets were priced incorrectly and not in a good way.
