The current stock market is basically a place where imbeciles gamble with Monopoly money.
The
secret isn't to "invest" as a retail investor, but to bet against them, especially fumbducks trading off vibes!
I get you're talking equities, but that's actually how a lot of FOREX platforms catering to retail investors literally operate and monetize . . .
Why is the stock market acting like shitcoins now? Like IBM has one bad quarter and 1/4 of its value is lost in one day.
The answer to your question is fairly straight forward and completely unsurprising: many myopic and ill-managed American corporate giants — including IBM — have spent years or a decade+ pursuing
Indianization.
According to
, over 40% of IBM's workforce is now Indian:
Granted, the actual share of IBM's Indian workforce far exceeds 40.4% of its total workforce, as Revelio's numbers fail to account for imported Indian laborers working for IBM in the US, EMEA and elsewhere.
Inevitably, IBM and its shareholders now have the blessed opportunity to experience firsthand what it means "to reap what you sow."
