Im watching all this and im thinking you guys are being convinced to not buy these stocks.

I just keep buying. Because I know how this works. Seen it many times now. Media says one thing, market goes another way.

Do you guys remember when Tesla was down extreamly much because the media and most people on Lemmy were convinced that musks nazi salute would mean the company is done? It was only like six months ago, you cant have missed it.

Now go look at the stock. Buy tech stocks. Dont do what the media is telling you. They are not there to help you.

You have to be smart, and being smart is not following the public opinion about things, because its being shaped by the owner class. If the media is telling you to sell, you probably should be buying. And when its telling you to buy, be very careful because the media owners want to sell.

You have to view it like you are inside the matrix. In a way, we are.

What's investment got to do with the article (or even the comments or people's sentiment on the Threadiverse)?

There are a wide variety of investment strategies depending on your situation and other factors. I don't see how these are related to tech news discussions.

I am not saying your are wrong or right, just an observation.

Negative news about stock bubbles = influencing people to not buy the tech stocks because they get scared. No?

[–] Alphane_Moon@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Perhaps, but how do you know that this is an actual trend?

An argument can be made that there are more people with your sentiment or perhaps the news about a bubble will attract short terms investors (trying to cash in as the wave is rising).

Generally speaking, discussion on Threadi, even ones that mention bubbles in context of AI/Nvidia, don't mention investment strategies.

I dont know if its an actual trend. But it would make sense that most people buy and sell based on what the media is telling them. I believe that most people trust what the media writes. They are not sceptical and cynical like me. :)

I dont have an investment strategy except buy and hold.

That's fair. For me personally, I don't see a connection with forum posts and investment decisions (in aggregate, retail investors to my understanding make a small part of the market).

[–] 1984@lemmy.today 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

How do you make your investment decisions? You are not influenced by media at all? Just buy what you believe in?

[–] Alphane_Moon@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Of course I am influenced by various things, we all are. I am not implying otherwise.

On a personal level, I don't see the connection between posting on a forum about articles on the possibility of an AI bubble and investment decisions.

I am not necessarily disagreeing with you. I think people are a bit more complicated than that and circumstances can be very different.

[–] 1984@lemmy.today 1 points 1 week ago

Yeah. Its interesting to think about. I dont think you are wrong either. There is many ways to think about this.
