Stock Market Tanks as Trump Unveils Nightmare Cabinet Picks
Stock Market Tanks as Trump Unveils Nightmare Cabinet Picks
Remember when everyone was excited the stock market spiked after Trump’s election win? Well, turns out it was very short-lived.
Except for one thing.
I read this title, got a little excited, then checked the Nasdaq, Dow, and S&P and all 3 are at all time highs. So is Bitcoin…
What “tanked” exactly. Help me understand this post.
52The article does say
stocks linked to some of the biggest pharmaceutical companies—including Moderna, Pfizer, and Novavax—plummeted to some of their lowest points of the year
and it's true that those particular stocks have gone down, although I wouldn't call a 4% drop a "plummet". The headline is still a deliberate lie and most people just read the headline. Shame on the New Republic.
Also, Pfizer's market cap is about ten times bigger than Moderna's and Moderna's is about ten times bigger that Novavax's. In other words, Pfizer is more than one hundred times bigger than Novavax and putting the two in the same "biggest pharmaceutical companies" category is bullshit.
35Every article about stock markets thinks that 0.001% up or down for about three seconds is tanking or soaring.
10On my E*trade everything is down 🤷♂️ not by a ton, just ~300 points or so. Nothing crazy.
2No, they all went down. Why lie about that?

The market going up overnight will have a sell off no matter what as people cash in on a quick profit. The market right now is extraordinarily high.
9No, see, you can wake up from a nightmare.
5Oh no, that undid a small part of the big bump they got from the oligarch-fellating news from the other week.
