If I held TSLA stock I’d be selling, for a clever guy I can’t understand why Musk doesn’t 

realise that causing political chaos domestically and internationally is going to have 

a detrimental effect on his business empire.

Nvidia earnings are out tomorrow which is probably making the markets a bit jittery.

I suspect Nvidia will get an earnings beat across the board but as ever, it's the guidance that matters!

 

I'd also suspect that the big boys are currently manipulating stocks lower, forcing panicked retail investors to sell, before they swoop in and hoover up. Common tactic

I sold all my Tesla shares last week when they were at $300 before they crash any more.

Just shows how US-heavy any world fund is. If you have a world tracker you're prob 60+% exposed to the US and in turn AI/tech. 

On the plus side cable is working in our favour today.

[richardsfoxes]

Holding all my american stocks including S&P500, they are all long term investments. 

[HighPeakFox]

Wow, quite the bashing. 

[Tommy G]

If you’re in it for the long term you’ve enjoyed the gravy train for the past 18 months, that’s how investments work, look at your return over the past 5 years….at a minimum

Trump's cost me about fifteen grand so far. 

 

And this is completely unrelated, how much would a good international hitman cost? Asking for a friend etc

Don’t know what you’re invested in but I guess Elons poodle would’ve gained you a lot more when he first came in during the trump bump. Typical human fallacy, losses hit us harder than gains

My portfolio took a hammering, but soon came back when RR & IAG announced shares buy back.  Overall my portfolio is now 57% up, so I am quite happy at the moment

Unless anyone has recently invested and/or been unlucky most people with a diverse portfolio will be ''up''

 

I guess we've all gotten used to double digit growth on investments for a while now, dips are pretty normal stuff.

The market has been quite tricky for a few years. I have been trading just as a hobby for many years, but nevertheless it’s a steep leaning curve with several mistakes en route. What to buy and when to sell is the magic formula.
