Not that I know too much about shares, but from what I gather (correct me If I'm wrong), due to It's Inevitable fluctuation It can be a risky Investment, hence what these companies have experienced.

Although It's a huge loss, companies of the big 5 magnitude will bounce back quite quickly.

Oh yes , they are already bouncing back, but when these little dips in the market happen or even a big dip, that is the time to buy buy buy, within reason of course. Then when the market bounces back you can see a nice little return on your investment and very very rarely a huge one.

I always have found these companies to be bad ideas for investment. Everyone wants to invest in them, obviously startup and new-to-market stocks are best ideas. But of course they're going to bounce back pretty fast.

You gotta pounce when they go down, like a lion on a zebra.
