Who else thinks this?????
Author attributes recent market dip to retail deleveraging and gambling stocks, citing unverified regulatory rumors.
- Retail investors are over-leveraged and forced to sell due to risk-based regulations.
- Market decline is driven by the unwinding of speculative positions in 'gambling stocks'.
The mini market crash was caused by almost all of retail being over leveraged and then being forced to sell most of their stocks since its risk based now and most of retail just spam buy gambling stocks
My broker hasn't gotten the new regulation yet so idk how actually strict it is
I must be really old, because back in my day a 2.9% decline would not even be called a "correction", never mind "mini crash".
Some stocks crashed back to prices they haven't seen in days or weeks.
lol
The S&P500 is up 24% in the last year and up 75% in the last 5 years. Easy to invest in stocks when they always go up.
Nothing like some volatility to let people re-evaluate their risk tolerance.
Right. Posts like OP’s show how fragile it all really is when they’ve been conditioned to expect line only go up.
That's normal, we're all used to 60% drops by now.
we're old and grizzled.
“Oh my god, stocks don’t always go up every single day?!”
Good job numbers means less chance of a rate cut.
That's really it, better to let some steam out now after such a good rally. Today was a good thing lol
How do you have a “mini” crash?
"Stock market fender bender"
This is just a small adjustment. My company stock in semis dropped 12٪, I dont think it is a mini crash. Its still way above its 20-day MA.
This was a painful day for the market for a lot of people and indices. I wouldn't call it a "mini market crash" myself. I also don't think it is because of "almost all of retail being over leveraged and being forced to sell."
There hasn’t been a market crash.
