Holiday spending likely won't be enough to cover losses. People are broke. People are exhausted. This time of year generally sucks. Ugh.

Market cap is overblown. The part that's really scary is that companies are using the fear of inflation to drive up prices in real dollars, reap extra profits, and not give raises in real dollars. People are going to be asking for raises and are likely not going to get enough to break even. AND, with job prospects not looking too great for people in tech, this cycle is only going to get worse.

If you look at the market cap before the pandemic, it was around $1 trillion ($985B on 1/31/2020). This not a coincidence.

Te rubberband has snapped back for big tech and sadly, the workers and people who worked through the pandemic are the ones who suffer, not the investors or directors or analysts doing the forecasting. Seems like they purposely ignored the OBVIOUS- things will go "back to normal" and their $900b value is probably what is actually should be.

Apple, Alphabet, Amazon, Tesla and LinkedIn parent Microsoft have lost a total of over $3.4 trillion in market value this year. COVID boom and bust at is finest.
