    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.
