I was taught that the stock market was a place where traders looked at the actual value (as they perceived it) of the underlying corporations. That was approximately thousands of (internet) years ago. Now, it’s only the perceived potential for immediate growth. Nothing “real” underlying it (except as it colors the perceptions). As a result, the market… which was never what I’d call “stable” has become a hundredfold more unstable. Maybe taking the ticker WOULD help.
