It is right that social media and articles published in most of the blogs are nothing but made to spread FUD and make people react in a particular manner which benefits big companies ultimately.
The outcome is that, hugh traders make a hansome profit, while the small time traders are left haplessly holding onto their stock, since they cannot sell at a hugh loss. They have to wait for a long duration hoping to dump their stocks when the market raises its bullish trend, which could take months.
Yes, because they got carried away with the social media discussions and what others thought. There are big IT centers made just to brain wash people through these social media posts and unless we use our own mental, they are just too powerful and easily manipulate us.
