In all seriousness, I do wonder about who sells on a morning like today, and who buys. Without any evidence to base it upon, I would guess that there are more institutionally held shares and less privately held shares than there were this morning. Algorithms are likely less squeamish.

If that is the case, a loss of diversity might have ramifications going forward.

I sold a bit to tax loss harvest. If the market does a super drastic change I'll buy and sell to re-balance.
