From the discussion

A few top-level comments from Hacker News, shortened. Read the full thread on Hacker News.

Coming from an era when S&P 100 companies having 3% single day stock swings would be front page news what's happening today is hard to comprehend.

People are desperately looking for signs here, but I just see Intel returning to historical levels. Intel is still up for the year.
