Did conservative folks just liquidate a bunch of their holdings? (self.asklemmy)

I've been hearing reports that "the market is way down" (due to Kamala/Democrats/god knows what else) and family members making comments that we better sell or liquidate our stocks.

I would never do that of course, but are right-wing folks actually jumping on the "sell-low" bandwagon? It seems too crazy but their media is always telling them dumb shit that kills or hurts them so its sorta par for the course in my view.

There was some chump who put his retirement into that odd right-wing social media thing, then it tanked and he sold... and told everyone not to invest everything they have into one stock. Like... yah?

Unfortunately, that one didn't tank (AFAIK).

From about $80/share to $20/share... It kinda did, yeah.

It dropped a lot, to the extent that an amateur investor lost their retirement.
