I am a bit surprised as to why or how the twitter stock price remains unaffected after such a big security hack. Would love to hear thoughts on this. #investments
Look at Equifax. It's impossible to fuck up more than they did and nobody cares.
An economist may tell you that it's because the revenue potential of the company is unlikely to change. That said, even if there was a negative effect on the company fundamentals, it probably wouldn't matter anyway because tech stocks may very well be in a bubble
Exponential curves are always observed for compound growth. Show growth rate or log(price) on y axis to reveal a linear trend.
Not sure about the point you are trying to make, beyond suggesting a different view of the trend. The point I'm trying to make is that stock prices, and specifically tech stocks, are showing record (stretched?) valuations by pretty much every metric traditionally used to value businesses (price to earnings, market cap to GDP, you name it). We can obviously still make the argument that it's normal because <pick your rationalization>, or - and that's my point - we can look at the market and feel uncomfortable because it gets closer and closer to look unsustainable, and possibly even a bubble (and of course, nobody really knows until it pops). In an environment like that, and here we go back to OP's question, it no longer matters if a company is doing well or if it gets hit by bad news, valuations go up anyway (until, all of a sudden, they don't). Ok, enough gloom already, we can now go back thinking that we are becoming richer because we are such amazingly smart investors :)
