Recently, the stock market had a major crash, and a lot of people are freaking out because of major losses. Stocks dropped really fast, and investors lost billions of dollars in just a few days. Some people are comparing it to past crashes like the one in 2008. It’s not quite that bad, but it’s still pretty serious.
A stock market crash usually happens when something causes people to panic and sell their stocks all at once. This time, it seems like a mix of things caused it—like high inflation, rising interest rates, and problems in the tech industry. Some big companies, like ones that used to make a lot of money, suddenly saw their stock prices drop. That made other investors nervous, so they sold, too.
“I’m learning a bit from this cras, because I’ve yet to see anything this big, but I know it’s all for long term growth and short term pain. I know we’ll get back up there,” Ty Furlow, senior, stating that even a crash this big will always spike back up again.
“It keeps going lower, it’s not going to get better until things change drastically, like the high tariffs. There has to be stability,” said Mathew Smith, senior, providing a different perspective. Smith states that the way we, as a country, are trying to solve certain issues and points, and also stating that nothing will change until the people truly believe they can start investing again.
So whether you view this as an opportunity to start investing or a loss for the nation, stocks will constantly change, spiking up really high, or falling causing your money to change value exponentially.
