    I think there is no mystery here.

    Why stocks are suddenly on edge

    https://finance.yahoo.com/news/why-stocks-suddenly-edge-132006160.html

    “Extreme fear” was the sentiment driving markets on Friday,"

    Sounds logical to me......after all just about ALL the big tech and AI earnings sere BIG BEATS.

    This is the ultimate....SELF-LOATHING....market. The PERDITION MARKET. The constant negative story-lines being pushed in the media over the past 2-3 weeks are now in the drivers seat and have pushed us into a CORRECTION.

    In the meantime....ALL the big tech companies and most other big cap monster companies continue to rake in the MONEY and THRIVE.

    At the same time I am not seeing much reporting of this little story. Looks like he has.....given up...on his little Hedge Fund.

    Michael Burry of 'Big Short' fame is closing his hedge fund

    https://www.reuters.com/sustainabil...eregisters-scion-asset-management-2025-11-13/

    "My estimation of value in securities is not now, and has not been for some time, in sync with the markets," Burry said in the letter.

    This is market talk....BS.....for......being out of touch with REALITY......NOW and FOR SOME TIME.... when it comes to the markets.....and LOSING a lot of money as a result.

    He TERMINATED.....and de-listed his fund on November 10.

    I guess I made a good move taking profits on a chunk of my NVDA.

    Perhaps....short term.

    Once again....just like magic....every time NVDA reports earnings we are in the middle of some big manufactured market CRISIS. Once again we are going to see A GREAT BIG EARNINGS BEAT.......overwhelmed by short term events......and IGNORED.

    It is amazing how this constantly happens with this stock and their earnings reports.

    As usual.....I WARN....when markets disrespect and constantly ignore great fundamental data....earnings.....the markets will cease to exist. We will have completed the switch over to simply.....GAMBLING. They....the people making money....will push it as and call it....TRADING....but is will be nothing more than GAMBLING.

    My words for the day.....and the recent past in the markets....COURAGE....ENDURE.....NO-FEAR.

    Although I might not be bargain hunting today going into a weekend. If I was going to buy this little dip I would probably do so on Monday.....people are going to be skittish about holding into the weekend. By "people"....I mean TRADERS. Of course this would be market timing.

    SO......

    If i did have some money to invest.....I would be loading up the wagon at these prices.

    Does that mean we are at a bottom.....I have no idea and no one else does either. BUT....If I could get into the BIG CAP TECH companies at the current levels...I would be willing to do so and eat any further losses short term. If I had a big enough pot of money I would just...buy my way down on the big cap tech shares....for as long as this little correction lasts.

    BUT for me.....NO MON.....NO FUN.

    AND please.....THIS IS NOT INVESTING ADVICE TO ANYONE ELSE.

    Looks like someone is doing what I posted above since....PLTR and NVDA are now POSITIVE for the day.

    AND...the losses in the NASDAQ have now moderated for the day.

    I am actually.....CLOSE....to having a gain today. BUT...not quite. That is about the best I can do right now.

    I agree with some of the above on a bit of the recent volatility. If this little dip or whatever is creating angst or making one a bit uneasy, then they likely are way over estimating their risk tolerance or maybe too concentrated plan wise.

    Might want to take note of it as mentioned. If this little blip bothers you, then you are really gonna freak out if/when we get something significant. I'm not even sure if the current deal even qualifies as a good discount at this point. Sure enough, some have been hit a bit harder than others, but it's certainly not a fire sale going on.
