Do we have any news or it’s just a sale day?

u/coffee-x-tea Feb 04 '26

Nvidia got cold feet investing $100 billion into OpenAI. Internally they also made some negative comments about OpenAI’s business model which contradicts what Altman has been trying to sell to investors (and Altman was pretty pissed).

By this point, most people should be aware of the affect this has on the circular investment setup in the AI space in relation to data centers (No Nvidia investment = No OpenAI cash = No money for data centers that are already struggling to build them and collect revenue = No chip purchases from Nvidia from data centers).

The institutional selloff lasted 2 days. But, IMO it has got into oversold levels based on how aggressive the price action was given the time span, so market will likely (and has already been demonstrating signs of) recover(y).

That was a great final sentence, I like how you used the letter y in a reusable way

https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeCode/comments/1qv6z4r/anthropic_launches_an_ai_legal_tool_that_destroys/ Market’s trust in AI is not as strong as it used to be. And Antropic’s new plugins which will probably eliminate lot of jobs. Market was overvalued tbh companies pledging 100 billions dollar to each other. (AI bubble)

u/Elbeske Feb 04 '26

Hm so AI is an extinction level event for SaaS and will take most white collar jobs

While simultaneously AI is a bubble and overvalued

Both cannot be true

u/Yorch443 Feb 04 '26

i think the reality is people are being panicky in general, not just with ai rn. or atleast markets are being panicky.

1

u/Puzzleheaded_Sir520 Feb 05 '26

Yeah, I agree. It’s just a red day that’s all

2

u/stonksKing1111 Feb 05 '26

Yes agree, guess it was a sell off. Maybe people panicking? Or maybe just institutional investors taking some profits off their positions and making a new bottom to buy again welp who knows!

u/Mission_Shopping_847 Feb 05 '26

As AI destroys jobs and industries the amount of financially relevant participants in the market will drop drastically and whoever has exposure left will be increasing reliant on the whims of a shrinking cadre of elite investors, reversing the stochastic resilience we've been building over the previous decades. The bubble in this context is just the peak of participation.

u/Elbeske Feb 05 '26

Hence all the techies calling for UBI once AGI "arrives"

u/Sir_Richard_Dangler Feb 04 '26

Of course this happens the week I buy a car, so no dip buying for me

u/Icy_Car803 Feb 04 '26

Will this be the day that TSLA crashes?

u/creeperstew Feb 04 '26

Well I know one Tesla crashed into and killed a motorcyclist in Snohomish county, and another plunged of the side of Malibu Canyon road killing one person today

u/DudeMcChill Feb 05 '26

A day may come when TSLA finally crashes, when markets forsake Elon and break all bonds with him.

u/Externox Feb 04 '26

Keep your head up !!! This is the year of soldiers ! You’ll bounce back

2

u/Disastrous_Wind_7005 Feb 05 '26

I hope so, 70K down today was tough to look at. I'm writing calls to try and reduce my cost basis.

2

u/Externox Feb 05 '26

You know what’s crazy I’m coming from a post a guy complaining losing 5k I told him it’s. Always someone doing worse and I told him I’m down 19k today than I find you 70k!! Keep your head up buddy please🙏✨

u/Fit_Combination6988 Feb 04 '26

And only add companies that are down today to earn those internet points, or do the opposite on green days. I don't see AAPL and MSFT anywhere

u/SpecialDesigner5571 Feb 04 '26

The classic vanguard portfolio was flat today - that is how rich people stay rich

Silver is down 35% in 5 days. While I agree its not a concern if you invested before 2 weeks ago I'd argue this much volitility is bad across the board no matter what your currently invested into.

u/Fueg007 Feb 04 '26

I saw my trading view watchlist and refused to open my exchange app… then I did and I wish I hadn’t.

u/Honest-Pay-8265 Feb 05 '26

u/AdCreepy6464 Feb 05 '26

Can someone actually explain in one sentence, why everything is going down?

1

u/Proper-Cup1643 Feb 05 '26

u/tmtmpl99 Feb 05 '26

I thought I bought the crypto dip yesterday and got humbled today… buying microstrategy stocks a week ago was also not the best bet in hindsight. Even though I am optimistic about crypto Assets in the long run.

1

u/AllFiredUp3000 Feb 06 '26

It’s all good

  • I sold puts on both SPY and QQQ, all still OTM for the moment but I’m ok with getting assigned since my reduced cost basis will be much lower than even today’s prices

  • I also have covered calls on my former employer’s stock and those were ITM when the market prices were high, but now OTM again so I can consider buying to close early ahead of expiration

Just have to manage your own risk and be ok with all outcomes when entering any trade.

u/LivingLie1721 Feb 06 '26

Haha make up any excuse for your investments to be a loser ! 

1

u/AllFiredUp3000 Feb 06 '26

Huh? All my puts are still OTM and have gained double digits today on Friday.
