The moral of the story is wall street controls what we obsess on. Wether it's interest rates ,strong weak $,or whatever ever the hell they want there lap dogs to think about. If you disagree with that your in denial la la land land.
OK let me tell the story to be short: Long ago one bossman wanted buy xyz he sought it will up. He ordered it to buy and buy and buy till it got green. Moral: yes they may control it till it’s as big they can not. Not always but they may.
Many people do look past 1 year, 2 years, 5 years and even 10 years via many different ways involving the markets. Yeah, no matter how deep the decline nor the crash...the market eventually goes back to where it was and plus that. Yet, not all stocks do that and that's the problem...not everybody is rewarded with their long term investments. Some actually lose money or lose it all on their investments. wrbtrader
Most won't play me because I'll win, but the point of chess isn't win or lose, it's playing it, most haven't got the patience to sit there and wait 20mins for a move, only 1 mate got this years back, hours sitting in silence, good times!!
Pfff.... I'll buy the f'n plane ticket Turv. Stock Market Warning: 6 Mega Stocks Dominate S&P 500’s $21.4 Trillion Cap Published: April 27, 2020 5:27 AM UTC The stock market is looking like the Dot Com Bubble again, with market cap super concentrated in five companies. But this time it's worse. The S&P 500 is dangerously lopsided, with 6 massive stocks making up for 25% of the index's entire market cap.| Source: Johannes EISELE / AFP) Just six stocks make up 25% of the S&P 500’s market cap. That means stock market investors are vulnerable to risk-off action. It’s far worse than the top five market cap concentration during the Dot Com Bubble. It also shows the equities rally isn’t very robust. In Feb, Goldman Sachs’ David Kostin said it’s fine as long as these firms meet growth expectations. Then coronavirus happened. The stock market is exhibiting the same telling sign that preceded the 2000 Dot Com crash. Only it’s much worse today. Six mega-cap stocks make up 25% of the S&P 500’s market capitalization. In other words, the stock market is vulnerable to a lack of diversification. Of the S&P 500’s total market cap of $21.4 trillion after markets closed Friday, $5.377 trillion belongs to six companies. Those companies are all Silicon Valley tech firms in one sector: Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix, Google, and Microsoft. Facebook (NASDAQ:FB) Market Cap – $0.541T Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) Market Cap – $1.2T Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) Market Cap – $1.24T Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) Market Cap – $0.187T Google (NASDAQ:GOOGL) Market Cap – $0.879T Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) Market Cap – $1.33T FAANGM Total Market Cap – $5.377 trillion
