Generally to boost numbers for the quarter, it takes a while for the damage to propagate through the system after a mass firing (in terms of new code/features/products) but the profits increase instantly, appeasing investors who think only in terms of weeks and quarters.
Big popular companies nearing bankruptcy is ripe for a lot of volatility in the stock price due the retail meme behavior. If you time your entry and exit perfectly here your returns could be in many multiples of your initial investment. E.g. on sept 12 wework stock almost doubled in price in a single day of trading.
It's a postmortem of the mini-crash we saw in February. No one was expecting it, and it happened very fast. One day the Nasdaq futures are trading at 7100, the next day they are at 6100. Moves of 100 points(a whole day's worth of movement) were happening in 15-20 seconds. Just for some context, 100 points(on the Nasdaq) is $2,000 gained or lost, using the minimum size you can trade.
I don’t follow. If a stock keeps going up a share could change hands 10 times in a day, with 9 traders having positive realized PNL and 1 trader having positive unrealized PNL.
