I object to the use of word Wibbly. I once had a wobbly wibbly when walking whilst waiting without wondering what who or why. Then the wibbly hit me. I was wobbly for some time before recovery.Originally posted by DimPrawn View PostIn Pooper's Wibbly World, bitcoin can lose 99.9% of it's value and then the remaining 0.1% of the value can double and he thinks we are all rich again.

You'd have to be bonkers to buy shares at the moment. This is not a dip, this is a falling knife. It has to bounce twice at least before a consolidation period begins, just look left.

I don't believe anyone is that reckless. Amazon stock 43x in the last 10 years. Yes, that's 4300% in only 10 years for a glorified Woolworths. You bought after a mini 30% pullback.

I'm aware of their physical data centres around the world, locations etc. I'd not price them at $1 trillion however. No where near. You could replace all for less than $1 billion.Originally posted by NotAllThere View PostAWS is just three letters to you, I guess."Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience".

If this stock correction is indeed the "big one" some people have been predicting for about the last 5 years then I don't think fundamentals or intrinsic value will mean anything for a while. There will be a lot of bargains to be had, but not for a while."Is someone you don't like allowed to say something you don't like? If that is the case then we have free speech."- Elon MuskComment
