He did say he would be bringing prices down on day 1, just didn't clarify he meant stock prices, not grocery prices.

As of 1:00 PM EST, it's down 12% on the day and dropping 🥰

As of 3:00 PM EST, it's down over 15% on the day and in a bit of a further swing 😍

Shit, great idea... I should've realized that sooner.

Buyeu and buycanada are gaining momentum?

[–] pedz@lemmy.ca 27 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I agree with the sentiment but I work in IT and yearn for when we will get rid of Microsoft, Amazon, and the tech giants.

My mother won't buy anything American at the grocery store but uses Amazon and Facebook every day.

My coworkers won't buy American products but use Windows, Teams, and Office every day.

I may be using Linux, open source software, and avoid American tech when possible, but I still use Google and Gmail.

At some point we may want to (or should) also extend that boycott to software and tech services. Have our governments, institutions and people not dependent on American corporations. It can only be good for our sovereignty anyway.

I asked in another thread about the possibility and likelihood of a sort of "digital embargo" where the states would order American companies like steam to halt service.

Forget not being able to get oranges or having to eat frozen veggies part of the year, this is somewhere that I can't really change my buying habits and move on (my steam library can't leave steam in this example)

The FO phase of FAFO.

[–] Majorllama@lemmy.world 23 points 10 months ago

All I see here is a bunch of companies that were massively over valued in the first place.

I sleep.

One can hope for it to be Consequences of their actions.

They are still saying it is "normalizing".

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 14 points 10 months ago

Yeah, right.

“Normalizing” = we dgaf what happens to everyone’s finances because we’re completely insulated from the effects.

Big Tech always amplifies gyrations in the market. Hence, every single one of these stocks (except Microsoft, I just checked) is still beating the S&P 500 over 6 months, even with these drops. And Microsoft is still way up in the long term.

Look, I want meteors to hit them all, but huge swings are the norm for these now. Hotter stocks trade a lot like crypto these days.

Hotter stocks trade a lot like crypto these days.

Hum... That's not a good sign.

Instead, that's a really strong indication that people believe those stocks have the same kind of fundamentals than crypto.

[–] Voroxpete@sh.itjust.works 5 points 10 months ago

Tech stocks are overvalued right now because they're all inflated by AI hype. When that hype finally collapses the crash is going to be nasty.

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

It’s more an implicit acknowledgment that it’s all a game. Kind of like crypto, roulette, or poker.

It's all the same casino.

[–] GrumpyDuckling@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 months ago

In the long run other countries are going to pivot away from American companies and likely ban facebook, x, etc.

[–] SheenSquelcher@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago
