Fell $19.80 from Wednesday close to Thursday close. About 7.2% down.
Plus it's down 40.5% since inauguration day.
Meta went down 6.75% yesterday.
I don't think it's quite time for them to pop any corks.

With my primary investment account, I watch the market every six months.

Don't really care what it does from day-to-day, its way to inconsistent and volatile. All of that money is, at the moment, just a series of numbers in a computer, anyway.
