GOOG is a search engine; big fat hairy deal. Ditto for EBAY, the only real internet auction house on the planet. Neither of them dictates the health of the economy so why should the broader markets give a rat's bit? INTC, MSFT, GM, DELL etc affect many sectors of the economy both upstream and down so when those guys have a bad day it's more widespread. Just my 2/100ths of a dollar, 3 with inflation.
Oh man...the more nonsense you post, the more obvious it becomes that you are the old handle "areyoukidding".
Apparently 97% of all traders are mesmerized by the size of the moves ,ignoring the 400 handle. Pity they are not your competition for profit.
Indeed. YHOO pulled the same stunt 2 weeks ago, percentage-wise, and nobody said a peep. Just lop off a zero from GOOG and you've got YHOO's action.
