Facebook, Amazon, Nvidia, and Tesla stocks fall and drop market. Netflix, Google, and Twitter fall too. Is this the trigger?

Bounce back some today.

"Five titans of tech -- Apple (AAPL), Amazon (AMZN), Google (GOOGL) owner Alphabet, Microsoft (MSFT) and Facebook (FB) -- made up nearly a quarter of the market value of the entire S&P 500 as of the end of February.

Facebook, Google and Amazon have fallen sharply because of the possibility of more government regulations on the tech sector. That's dragged down the whole market.

The S&P 500 has fallen 5% in the past two weeks and the Nasdaq has tumbled 6%. Even the Dow, which has Apple, Microsoft, IBM (IBM), Cisco (CSCO) and Intel (INTC) as members, is down more than 3%.
But the market rebounded Thursday, led by solid gains in Facebook, Google and Apple."

And they represent all the gains.

China is developing markets to lessen dependency on US trade. That's bad for us. Trump's tariffs hurt Americans worse than China.

Facebook is in trouble when slashdot users are looking for alternatives.

"Facebook's entire ecosystem is predicated on encouraging the manipulation of its users by third parties who posses the skills and financial resources to leverage Facebook's model. These are not aberrations at Facebook -- they are exactly how Facebook was designed to operate."

That's how the CIA wants it.

Zuckerberg wants government to regulate Facebook to take the heat off him. It will also stifle his competition, and he'll write the regulations. Regulation won't fix the Cambridge Analytica problem.

Good Samaritan Hospital closing. A ruler said something honest.

"“Not only was Good Sam an economic anchor to northwest Dayton, but they also were a neighborhood stabilizer,” said Dayton City Manager Shelley Dickstein. “We are gravely concerned about an exit of that anchoring presence.”"

Everybody should be concerned. Founding.

Whaley drops out of governor's race.

"“Nan Whaley and the other early candidates - Connie Pillich, Betty Sutton, Joe Schiavoni - all suffered from a lack of statewide name recognition,” said University of Dayton political scientist Christopher Devine. “As long as they were the only candidates in the race, Whaley had a chance. That changed when Cordray entered the race, given that he has won statewide office, has a national profile, and can tap into a wider network of campaign donors.”"

Sounds like the Democrat party issued marching orders. Since they're winning elections everywhere, they don't want to waste this opportunity to possibly oust Kasich.
