"We don't have time to worry about the child rapes now, haven't you seen that the dow has dropped? We need to tackle this before we can look at anything else!"

"Oh, well the dow is over 50000 now. Can we look at the child rapes agai..."

"WHY ARE YOU STILL GOING ON ABOUT THAT. THE DOW IS RISING AND WE NEED TO BE ON THE BALL TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING CONTINUES ON THIS TRAJECTORY!"

is pedophilia bad again? quick! try to hold people accountable before it goes back to 50,000 and make it ok to be a pedophile

That’s the neat part! When it’s down that means we ignore crimes to get it back up.

When it’s back up we ignore crimes because we’re doing good!

There is no winning in fascism!

Stock market moment

[–] Tja@programming.dev 4 points 1 day ago

Same number, different time scale.

[–] Tigeroovy@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Honestly I have no idea if it’s supposed to be over or under that.

Like is that a thing the whole world cares about or is it just an American thing?

It's a useless metric for the state of the stock market. It's used because it has been around forever and people hate change.

Why is it useless? It is calculated by tracking 30 companies on the stock market and pretty much adding up their current stock price. This is a meaningless metric because you could have one company that is worth $100 that offers two shares of stock, each worth $50. Another company worth $100 chooses to have 50 shares of stock each worth $2.

The companies are the same value, but their stock price is vastly different. Let's say they're both on the DOW list of 30 companies. When the first company doubles in value, so does it's stock price. Now the company is with $200 and the stock is worth $100. That means the dow increased by 50.

When the second company doubles in value, it's stock also doubles to $4. Now the DOW increases by a value of 2...

This is why the DOW is useless. It's intent is to measure the general trend of the stock market, but with the two examples above it clearly fails at doing that. There are many better stock market indexes that provide a more reliable insight intoarket trends, the S&P 500 for example. The DOW is meaningless and anyone who is using it as a reference for the health of the stock market is an idiot.

Anyone using it to talk about the health of the economy overall is out of their gord and should be in the loony bin.

Ah, thank you for the explanation!

Classic old bullshit that’s still around because of tradition and little else.

It's important to everyone, but it's not so important that we should ignore pedophiles having sex with kids.

Wow, a whole 0.02%? Better buy now at the low point.

But that will still be under 50k.

Well I'm not going to call 1024, people might think I'm some kind of nut who thinks the market is algorithmically controlled.

Algorithms are a spectrum!

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

No, that means we have to focus on the economy!
