Recently I saw a WSJ article where they surprisingly couldn't find a story 2, and so it said something like: stock prices decline as investors sell risky assets

Which is almost a tautology, so idunno, maybe that's better than the usual thing, but then scroll down the article and it says bond prices were also down as investors also sold their less risky assets
- buzzdenver 5y agoThere were an equal number of investors how bought those risky assets, albeit at a lower price than the day before.
- furyofantares 5y agoI don't have a problem with that part, calling something a sell off, or a buying frenzy. It's used to mean increased/decreased demand, nothing about the number of individual investors (which isn't necessarily equal, btw, but it's not a part of the meaning of the phrase.)
