The FANGs are getting crushed

Discussion in 'Stocks' started by Phill Twist, Feb 8, 2016.

  1. Everything is selling off on Monday, and the so-called FANGs are getting hit hard.

    Facebook, Amazon, Netflix, and Google (that is, Alphabet) were four of the best-performing tech stocks that helped keep the S&P 500 in positive territory last year.

    But as global markets sold off on Monday morning, these stocks were down sharply in premarket trading, even with little company-specific news on any of them. This follows a sell-off across the tech sector on Friday as LinkedIn plunged 44% after weak earnings and Tableau Software lost about half its value.

    Yeah this is hardly a panic. Selling needs to get much more aggressive. IMO these days any signs of a panic will bring swift action from TPTB to try and stop trading or otherwise prevent a massive selloff from continuing.

    Let's talk about "panic" when we see 100-200 point swings in one day.

    This is why I never invest in these types of stocks. They are only good for short-term trades. I look like a fool at every cocktail party. People yawn when they hear about my blue-chip dividend payers. Old school companies for an old lady. However, I get the last laugh.
     
  9. Ok maybe I misused the term, but you can't deny that market is little bit crazy these days.
