The Big 5 lose millions - Ecks - 06-11-2017 The so-called "big five",Apple , Alphabet, Microsoft , Facebook and Amazon, lost more than $97.5 billion in market value between the close on Thursday and the close on Friday, according to FactSet, dragging the Nasdaq to its worst week of the year.

Although It's a huge loss, companies of the big 5 magnitude will bounce back quite quickly. RE: The Big 5 lose millions - Ecks - 06-11-2017 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. RE: The Big 5 lose millions - zorrophreak - 06-11-2017 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. RE: The Big 5 lose millions - Ecks - 06-11-2017 You gotta pounce when they go down, like a lion on a zebra.
