We have reached the era of late-stage capitalism where there's not one but multiple "wealth management stocks"

Also not sure why one trucking "company"[1] reporting success would sink all the others. Surely if they could replicate just a fraction of this company's results, they would become massively more productive, and thus profitable.

Traders are dumb.

[1] gotta say though, "Algorythm" is a great name for an ex-karaoke company.
