      Not sure what you’re saying here? As I said elsewhere, I absolutely get that this is one day but it’s also the same day they announced a massive line-wide recall. It’s discouraging to see the number go UP on a day like today.

        the stock market has a LOT of automated trade. when the price of a highly traded stock falls and reaches certain points it triggers limit orders to buy, and when it rises it triggers limit orders to sell. that’s why you never see a clean rising line or falling line for more than a few days at a time, these auto orders run by the huge investment companies always stabilise things a bit. to see larger trends you have to scale up your chart to see past the stabilising periods.

          Yeah, that makes sense, 100%. I think I was just feeling anxious because everything is so overwhelming, any positive sign for the fascists is scary to me. Thanks for helping explain that.

            This little exchange warmed my heart.

            Just wanted to pop in and say it’s up over the 5 day mark. I think it will still go down just frustrating to see.
