    Lol, finance (and thus financial reporting) is so braindead.

    I’ll summarize the whole article: Why did RDDT crash? “Because the stock price went down. Some people sold the stock, so more people sold it, now the price is lower”

    Thanks Yahoo finance, this is the journalism we rely on you for…

      People selling the stock does not cause the stock value to lower. For every sale there is a purchase. What causes the stock to lower is people willing to sell for cheaper.
