The market decided to take a joyride today, leaving Amazon in the dust. With major indices climbing like a caffeinated squirrel, it seems even the Panic Meter was too bored to care.

In today’s episode of ‘What The Market Is Doing,’ we saw the S&P 500 and friends dance their way to gains as if they were auditioning for a reality TV show. The Dow Jones, not wanting to be outdone, led the charge with its best impression of an over-caffeinated intern trying to impress on their first day. Meanwhile, the Russell 2000, ever the eager beaver, took the spotlight with a stunning 3.6% climb, reminding us all that sometimes small caps want attention too.

Yet, amidst this market jubilee, Amazon found itself playing the role of the tragic hero. Losing 5.55% in a day when everyone else was having a party is akin to showing up at prom only to realize you’ve got toilet paper stuck to your shoe. Perhaps it was Cramer’s infamous bell ringing that sent AMZN spiraling into the abyss or maybe just another case of tech giant indigestion.

💩 Loser of the Daily

Amazon really outdid itself today by becoming the poster child for how not to perform when everyone else is winning. It’s almost as if Jeff Bezos himself decided to take a personal day and forgot to tell Wall Street. Watching AMZN sink while everything else floats is like witnessing a Titanic reenactment where only one ship sinks. Maybe they should consider adding ‘How To Not Lose 5% In A Day’ seminars for their next Prime membership perk. Or perhaps they’re just trying out a new strategy called ‘Let’s See How Low We Can Go.’
