Yup, rebates for those shopping.Irrational panic. Market in free fall.
Yep. This is what happened at my old company. They drew a 90 minute circle around the office and said anyone inside had to be in 3 days a week - it was actually a more restrictive policy than pre-COVID. When that didn't work in getting people to quit, they had a few rounds of layoffs.RTO was often just a way to get employees to quit. Layoffs without payouts. https://www.msn.com/en-ie/money/car...s-were-meant-to-make-workers-quit/ar-BB1qyrUa
Some companies are owned by nesting dolls of holding companies that only care about the bottom line and profit margins. So yes, sometimes it is just about forcing people out to make those quarterly numbers.The reason the bosses get a higher salary is amongst other things to make the hard decisions and take responsibility for who to lay off, not trying to force people out, that is just bad work culture.
Considering you cant even buy their latest consumer version CPUs without fear of damaging them from normal use, I suspect that discount on the stock will be even greater - and you will no longer receive a dividend.Watching the Gamer's Nexus video on Intel at the moment, and I saw they have a 15% ESPP (no lookback). Not a bad benefit if you always opted to sell ASAP; however, it also shows the huge danger of using those programs as savings vehicles, considering they're laying off ~15% of their workforce (ie, your savings takes a dump simultaneously with your salary evaporating).
Silver and gold doing pretty good right now. Silver is at $39.77. Getting pretty good return on what I bought so far. Silvergoldbull is the site I buy most of mine from and it keeps track of my purchases so it's kind of cool to see.
Yes. All futures seem to be down. Crypto is tanking.Looking good. By good I mean terrible.
Google's site seems to be wrong. I've edited it out. The graph was for the day but the percentage was for the week. But still, down 6% in a day is a pretty big drop for the Nikkei.^^^^
That percentage must be wrong. According to Marketwatch it's down 6% now.
You were closer on your previous post. It's -10% now.Google's site seems to be wrong. I've edited it out. The graph was for the day but the percentage was for the week. But still, down 6% in a day is a pretty big drop for the Nikkei.
If so, they should be fired. It is not their mandate.I wouldn't rule out the fed wanting to dip their toes into a little bit of recession.

Course propping up the Stock Market isn't in their mandate either.
I saw someone claim that the source of this selloff is a rate hike in Japan, causing JP traders to sell stocks to cover their losses because they were so overextended.
