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

      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).

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

              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.

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