Retail didn’t move MSFT stock yesterday on that news. It was HFT bots reacting to the news. Nobody panicked.

- SilasX 3y agoNobody panicked? I suspect that's beyond what your current evidence, plus general knowledge of market behavior, can justify.
- jliptzin 3y agoPeople may have panicked, but the move happened too quickly for a human to react in time
- SilasX 3y agoYou still can't justify a claim that nobody panic-sold, given what you know. Let's try to stick to claims we have a basis to believe, instead of fighting noise with noise. A more reasonable claim from your epistemic state could be something like, "There was no major crash from the news, as might be seen in a general panic."
