The market decided to take a leisurely stroll today. S&P nudged up by 0.1%, which is almost enough to buy a pack of gum. Meanwhile, AMD took the scenic route down, tumbling by over 2%.

Today’s market movement resembles a patient waiting for coffee: slow and with little enthusiasm. The S&P’s marginal gain suggests investors are holding their breath rather than making bold moves. With VIX at 20.29, it’s less of a fear index and more of a ‘mild concern’ indicator.

NASDAQ followed suit with a slight bump, just enough to remind tech investors they exist. The Dow Jones did what it does best: not much at all. The Russell 2000 showed everyone how to maintain equilibrium—by doing nothing.

💩 Loser of the Daily

**AMD takes today’s ‘Loser of the Day’ trophy for its graceful descent by over 2%. Maybe they thought gravity was optional when Cramer rang the bell, signaling an imminent nosedive. As investors panic-bought other chips, AMD seemed committed to showing everyone how to make red the new green.

Darkness falls under the new moon, but it’s AMD that’s truly in the dark about its stock direction.**
