Unexpectedly, Stock Markets Crash After Communist Victory

Hey, remember when a 0.31% drop on the Friday before the election was claimed to be All Trump's Fault and a sign of apocalypse?

What's this, then?

🚨 BREAKING: US stocks have just taken a HISTORIC nosedive after Democrats' blue wave this week, with TRILLIONS of dollars being incinerated in a single day
Democrats are already doing SEVERE damage to American retirement accounts.
Travel, tech, retail, energy, manufacturing stocks, and more: ALL SHARPLY down today
🔻 NASDAQ down over 5.5%
🔻 S&P 500 down 4.35%
🔻 DOW down almost 4.5%

A commenter -- maybe gp -- said that the tech sector has been a bubble for some time, due, I guess, to data centers and AI. He said that a correction was inevitable.

May be -- but certainly the reason for the puncturing of the bubble at this particular moment was the communist takeover.

Dow sheds more than 1,800 points as midterm results spur investor exodus from tech and AI

The stock market tanked on Thursday amid concerns that a shift in congressional political control following the U.S. midterm elections could slow the construction of data centers that power artificial intelligence services.
Stocks sank across the board, but technology companies with a hand in the AI sector were hit especially hard. The Nasdaq Composite Index tumbled 1,422 points, or 5.5%, to close at 24,315. The drop means the tech-heavy index is now in a "correction," or down more than 10% from its most recent all-time high, set in October.
The broader S&P 500 dropped 335 points, or 4.4%, to end at 7,354, while the blue-chip Dow Jones Industrial Average plunged 1,833 points, or 3.4%. Investors were reacting to the growing "headline" risks around AI, according to Wall Street analyst Adam Crisafulli of Vital Knowledge.
The rout was violent enough that it could delay the highly anticipated initial public offering by Anthropic, a bellwether for the entire AI business, Crisafulli told investors in a research note. Before the turmoil in financial markets, the IPO had been expected to take place this month and to raise as much as $100 billion.
The sharp drop also marks a sharp reversal from Wednesday, when the Dow posted its biggest gain of the year.
...
Investors worry that the enormous investment in AI is creating a stock market bubble, which happens when sky-high valuations become detached from companies' underlying fundamentals.
...
In other financial markets, the initial reaction to the election results faded a bit. The price of a barrel of Brent crude oil rose 2.6% to $97.11 and recovered much of its nearly 9% drop from the day before. Uncertainty still reigns about what will happen in the war with Iran and when the global energy industry can return to normal.

I don't know if you can see the "Community Note" appended here, but it says that $2.8 trillion in (paper) wealth was wiped out today. $3.5 trillion was wiped out in March 2020 -- when the Chinese bioweapon broke containment and infected the world.

I don't know if that is some leftwinger's attempt to downplay the losses or just someone offering fair comparison.

But this is huge. Democrats are 80% as bad for the market as a world-economy-shutting-down plague.

🚨 BIGGEST SINGLE-DAY WIPEOUT IN US STOCK MARKET HISTORY
$2.8 Trillion has been wiped out from the US stock market today so far, the largest one in history.
Previously, the largest single-day wipeout was of $2.69 Trillion during the Covid crash. https://t.co/zcDXUxyL2X

24 I'll just re-use my comment from earlier today, about the Democrat Media being happy with yesterday's "surge" in the markets.

"Markets hate uncertainty."

So they "surged"-- well, popped up a bit--when the uncertainty of the election went away.

Then they realized what the "certainty" that replaced it was, and everyone shat their pants at once.

I strongly suggest people let their GOP reps know NO bailouts for the AI bubble.....period.

NONE....

It was cartel behavior that Trump and DOJ should have been pursuing and Congress should have been having hearings on....the price of consumer electronics tripled and the stuff being bought was laying fallow in warehouses being funded with debt.....fuck Sam Altman.

The only bubble was the fear that there won't be buildings in which to put the chips. The Dems opposition to datacenters has been duly noted. The industry is still printing money at eyewatering levels. The confidence that they can perform on outyears of backlog is what took a hit.

As an example, Nvidia's last quarter was $96 Billion with 75% margins and 100% y/y growth. Those kinds of numbers are bananas. I'll keep my Nvidia stock and sell enough to rebalance when it gets too high. Again.

53 I'm not sure if AI is a bubble. I've been using it at work quite a bit and it's a significant help. It's possible it will live up the hype mostly. So maybe Democrats will kill off a major growth factor for our economy, and not just pop a bubble.

There was a Chinese influence op on AI, and both parties nutjobs were against them. AI is a strategic necessity unfortunately and a functional America would require them period but we do not live in a functional America. Consequently we may wind up not having them.

The market is shitting the bed because it just realized that the democrats may well not allow them at all, even if they do allow them it will likely not ever allow new serious power generation, will absolutely not allow private construction of on site private generation, which means utilities skyrocket.....democrats legitimately hate Americans having cheap energy it is a sexual fetish.

I've been double willowed today asking, How do you run a Democratic Republic when more than half of the citizens live in a fictional online world rather than the Republic itself?

Nvidia is forecasting about $500 billion in profits next year. If we see rolling changes in forecasts across the industry, that'd prove Dems were serious. I will count on their corruption, and once they've extracted their vig, some state somewhere will build a fook ton of NG power plants and cookie cutter data centers.
