i'd do anything for costco to bring back the polish dog. Its my single motivation in life.

Yes it is and these things always give me diarrhea

>>17847341
It's really not much more expensive in other countries. Sometimes it even cheaper after exchange, like in Canada. In the UK, it's the equivalent of $1.80 bugerbucks.

>>17847341
Thats extra cheap, but yeah food is cheap. Tons of poor fatsos

Can be. You have to go where actual poor people shop though. Fast food has become middle class, like it is in places like Brazil. If you want to save money and stuff your face you need to be buying street food at the flea market.

In France it's ~$1.55 burgerbucks.

>>17847341
>cheap
how is paying 150 cents for something that is worth 40 cents "cheap"?

>>17847370
Sure but keep in mind people in the uk get paid less. Pretty sure a kebab, chips and cola costs more than 8£

>>17847370
Of course they have a fucking savory pie

>>17847370
Hows come these fucks get an extra 2oz of pop?

~$1.68 in Taiwan.

>>17847390
What's wrong with savory pies, loser?

>>17847398
>t. bong

>>17847374
Would you say a poor american (minimum wage tier) is better of buying food in a supermarket or eating the cheapest fast food for lets say 1600kcal a day? How much does 1 poor american need to spend on food to live for a month?

$1.49 in Mexico.

>>17847341
The Costco CEO has spoken about this
>“I came to (Jim Sinegal) once and I said, ‘Jim, we can’t sell this hot dog for a buck fifty. We are losing our rear ends.’ And he said, ‘If you raise the effing hot dog, I will kill you. Figure it out.’ That’s all I really needed. By the way, if you raised (the price) to $1.75, it would not be that big of a deal. People would still buy (it). But it’s the mindset that when you think of Costco, you think of the $1.50 hot dog (and soda).

Ah, here we go. It's about double the price at $2.99 in fucking Iceland.

>>17847412
I'm one guy, and I spent probably $500/$550 a month on food right now. Thanks Biden, you fucking bitch...

>>17847416
Just to give you a sense of scale, im portuguese and a McChicken menu on McDonald's is about 6€, and our minimum wage is 700€/month, medium wage is about 800€.

>>17847396
taiwan has no identity

>>17847416
Holy fucking jalapenos Batman!
I love me some spice food, but holy shit.

>>17847428
But are you buying food on a budget or spending as you wish? Id say 1 person a week can survive with:
>1 chicken
>500g minced meat
>12 eggs
>1kg pasta
>1kg rice
>1kg frozen broccoli
>Milk
>Oatmeal
>Peanut butter

>>17847383
>worth
What a fucking retard.

>>17847341
Costco doesn't actually profit off of these. they're an excuse to get people to buy memberships

>>17847432
They have their own local currency and their own subsidiary of Costco operating separately from the company in the PRC. ~$1.60 in Shanghai.

>>17847341
Yes.
Just don't forgetvit's america: their mindset is not quality, but profit.

>>17847444
And that why we love capitlismt

>>17847412
You can essentially eat for free in America. Although you 're not going to be eating very well.
There's all kinds of soup kitchens, and free pantries you can go to. If you're under a certain income bracket you can also get EBT which is basically a credit card where you get like 500$ a month for food. Can only be spent on food though.

A poor person could get away with spending less than 50$ on food a month, and eat like a king.

>>17847412
Now I want to drink a big gulp full of brown gravy

>>17847429
It's a common misconception, but when Americans talk about the McChicken and how cheap it is, they're not actually talking about the larger and more expensive item which is called a McChicken in every other country outside the US. The American McChicken is a smaller discount chicken patty on a normal bun, not the bigger sesame seed bun.

>>17847341
So, from highest to lowest with all prices in burgerbucks, here's how much a Costco hot dog combo costs around the world.:

Iceland - $2.99
UK - $1.80
Taiwan - $1.68
PRC - $1.60
South Korea - $1.56
France - $1.55
US - $1.50
Mexico - $1.49
Japan - $1.39
Australia - $1.38
Spain - $1.30
Canada - $1.15

>>17847390
What exactly is a savory pie? Like a chicken pot pie? I love those

>>17847605
I think he's confused. That's shepherds/cottage pie, which is ground beef, gravy, and potatoes.

>>17847441
>he doesn't know how money works

>>17847584
It's always been 1.50 in British Colombia. You can also get poutine for 4.99 but it's a huge serving, almost 2 meals so it's worth it.

>>17847625
I'm guessing you haven't checked how badly our dollar is doing right now. It's $1.50 Canadian, that's $1.15 US.
Also their poutine is inferior to their fries and gravy separately.

>>17847341
NO, not at all. that's just one very good deal. everything here is INSANELY expensive and it's just getting worse every single day for years now. Recently it's getting REALLY REALLY BAD and I'm not even in an expensive state.

>>17847341
No. This is not the norm. This is Costco. A membership is required to shop there. In turn their products consist almost entirely of bulk items, (the likes of which most other supercenters don't carry) for criminally low prices. They also have a confectionary, where one can sit down and eat before, during, or after shopping there. They profit almost entirely off of membership dues.

>>17847341
>Is food in america really THIS cheap?
Yes. That price is subsidized by the fact you drove to your local Costco where you have an annual membership, and your large SUV trunk space, and will spend the minimum of probably $200 or more while there, and fill up your gas tank. It's an alternative reality to be in the top 15% demographic financially, which is what makes it so special. = to get a snack
Also in Florida, by law, the warehouse stores with memberships have external liquor stores where you don't need to be a member to get the discount prices. Anyone can shop there.

>>17847341
it is not even food lmao just a tube of plastic full of red-colored water, sawdust and meat-flavored bone powder

>>17847341
>>17847365
>>17847451
>>17847681
DO NOT LISTEN TO THESE PEOPLE THEY ARE FULL OF SHIT, THEY ARE TRICKING YOU INTO MOVING TO THE USA THINKING SHIT IS BETTER BUT IT'S NOT, WE ARE ON A SINKING SHIP, WE ARE NOT FULL, WE ARE OVERFULL TO THE BREAKING POINT, WE ARE HEADED FOR A GREAT ECONOMIC DEPRESSION THE LIKES OF WHICH WE HAVE NEVER SEEN BEFORE. DO NOT THINK THE FOOD HERE IS CHEAP

THE FOOD HERE IS NOT CHEAP

WE ARE GONNA STARVE

DO NOT FUCKING COME HERE THE TRAFFIC IS SO FUCKING BAD, EVERYBODY IS AN ASSHOLE. THE WHOLE COUNTRY IS TURNING INTO THE WORST PARTS OF DETROIT REALLY FUCKING FAST

DO NOT COME HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

>>17847722
yup it's autism

>>17847722
sir this is a Costco thread

>>17847730
Yea man what the fuck do you think I'm talking about? These people keep saying "holy shit this costco hotdog is so cheap it's like an accurate representation of all food prices in the USA"
But it isn't.
>>17847726
autism is telling the truth?

>>17847683
stop watching so much TV

>>17847750
autism is screeching on a monrovian hand puppetry forum acting like you're going to convince anyone not to move to America

>>17847341
Yes, but at a cost. Everything has high fructose corn syrup or hydrogenated seed oils or some bastard ingredient that makes it taste uncanny. It's pay more or make yourself sick/fat sometimes.
Meat, vegetables, and basics are all fine though excelt milk.

>>17847771
>autism is screeching on a monrovian hand puppetry forum acting like you're going to convince anyone not to move to America
AHA, so somehow it's okay for these other people to try to convince someone that they SHOULD move to America, and that's totally not autistic?
GOTCHA.

>>17847681
>top 15% demographic financially,
About 40% of American households have a membership

Seriously. Name a better deal. You can't.

>>17847382
>Poutine
god I fucking hate how that shit spread outside of Québec
Is this how the wops feel about america fucking up their food?

>>17847341
yes but not without cost
https://youtu.be/Xp0NSIrbu3Y

>>17847722
sir this is europe

>>17847412
Yeah like the other anon said, if you make minimum wage you can get free food from the government

>>17847623
>he dosnt know how jewish cooperations work

i want to join costco but it's hard to justify buying in bulk when i'm just one man

>>17848415
>>17847722
No need to move

>>17848653
>he doesn't know money is a jewish invention and therefore belongs to the jews
nobody has a desire to own this stuff, anon.
money is like mayo, worthless and poisonous.

>>17847722
>WE ARE ON A SINKING SHIP
then why is my belly full?

>>17847382
WTF the French get tendies too?

>>17847382
This is a Canadian costo in your pic. French ones sells hot dogs for 2 euros.

>>17848366
This was when America was America and they called Fish and Chips "Batter Dipped Fish" because fuck the brits

>>17848687
Because it's sinking, not sunk. You're not going to die, right up until you're going to die.

>>17847382
Holy fuck, what the fuck? Has every place turned into America? That looks like fucking Texas. I wanted to visit Europe one day and now it looks like the same dumb place I'm from.

>>17848788
This is Canada. This one >>17848680 is France

>>17848788
Costco has locations in a dozen countries around the world and they all offer the hot dog combo. Globalism really does homogenize certain things.

>>17847341
Wtf is this magic? 1,50 for a refillable cup, hotdog and toppings? We pay four times that much for that without a fucking refill.

>>17848788
I remember a Japanese coworker apparently being very enthusiastic about his local Costco because he apparently thought it was what all American grocery stores were like and "everything is BIG".

>>17847722
Yes... Tell them how "bad" we have it here... Make them stay in their "better" countries and away from our "sinking ship"

>>17847498
Wth? So what is yours called then? Cause what you described is here known as "chickenburger"

>>17848824
Depends on the country. The American McChicken is known as the Junior Chicken, Chicken Crisp, Mayo Chicken, etc. outside of the US. There's no direct equivalent to the international McChicken in the US right now.

>>17847681
You need to be a member to shop there? What is going on, idk but reading all this shit is fascinating how different the world can be

>>17848835
It's like a co-operative store except membership doesn't make you an partial owner. Not a completely bizarre concept.

>>17847625
That looks gross.

>>17847341
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loss_leader

No. Costco hot dogs are a loss leader.

I love Costco but I can't go anymore because the two within driving distance are staffed almost exclusively by you know who's. I have gone there at least 10 times in the last year and every single time I order the same thing. A hot dog with extra grilled onions. At least 8 of those times I didn't get extra onions and 3 times I got no onions at all. I usually just sighed and ate the damn thing because I used to work in fast food and I know how it can be sometimes.

But eventually I couldn't take it anymore, I checked this time right after they handed it to me and there were 5 little pieces of onion on the whole thing. I got so mad I went and asked for my money back. I didn't yell or make a scene because I am a civilized person but I told them clearly that this happened most times I ordered and clearly something is not being communicated or the person making the food doesn't understand the orders.

While I was waiting for them to get a manager to get my refund an old black worker who was cleaning came up and told me he was sorry. He said they have kids working in the back and they won't listen to anyone he was sick of them. The place just isn't the same after they got bought out. Used to be ran by the nicest people but it just isn't worth it anymore I'll make my own damn hot dog. This isn't fucking pasta this really happened I hate everything, every place that used to be halfway decent is shit now and its 90% because of the staff that doesn't give a single god damn fuck. I could tell you so many stories about the bullshit I've seen working in fast food. It wasn't like this 30 years ago when I had my first job. People used to have a little bit of respect and work ethic. Not anymore.

>>17848864
Myth. The product is just dirt cheap in the first place due to Costco's style of buying out local supply chains. Same deal with their rotisserie chicken: they literally buy out domestic farms wherever they set up shop to cut costs.

It's a hot dog and a drink. It's not actually costing them $1.50, even with labour.

>>17847448
Damn I want some mango soft serve. I can't remember the last time I've had soft serve that wasn't vanilla.

this thread has taught me there's costco's world wide wtf
I always thought they were a an american thing since I can't imagine the "buy a fuck ton of stuff" thing translates to other countries
they all look the same too, trippy
even Walmarts have varying interiors

>>17847341
It used to be, but now they don’t allow none members to eat the food and a subscription to costco is something like $60 a year. So idk how many hotdogs you have to eat before you start saving.

>>17848884
See, when companies say something is a "loss leader" they're actually referring to the jewish definition of the term. A product that doesn't give back at least 1000% in profit.

>>17847722
Please calm sir, you’re making a scene. Don’t worry we have plenty of delicious bugs for you to eat.

>>17848986
I'm jewish and I dont get this joke can you explain?

>>17848991
>a Jew not understanding classic Jewish humor
Doubt. Go larp elsewhere.

>>17847722
Please calm down sir, you’re making a scene. Everything is fine in America, we have plenty of bugs for you to eat, we have more than enough pods for you to sleep in, there’s no need to panic.

>>17848167
Think about how we feel we don't even want the shit. They already have chili why the fuck aren't they making chili cheese fries?

>>17847341
These chili dogs are $2.50 each

>>17849028
Why is the chili black?

>>17849001
Oh, haha. I get it now. You're stupid.

When I went to middle school, at lunch time in the cafeteria, there were these huge trays filled with plain hot dogs stacked on top of one another and kids would run towards the trays as soon as the cafeteria doors opened and there would be this big hot dog grab and the teachers used to laugh and they called it the “hot dog royale.” They had to stop doing it because usually the smaller kids never managed to get a hot dog and their parents complained

>>17849047
Laugh a little buddy. You sound like your asshole is permanently screwed shut. You didn't grow up Jewish if your dad didn't have a book's worth of cheesy offensive Jewish jokes he'd break out.

And don't even get me started on the jokes my mother told.

>>17848873
haha wow it's a surreal thing seeing your own pasta appear unexpectedly. Really was true though. Place used to be good but fucking sucks now.

>>17847341
Yes and what they don't tell you is that it also includes the ramekins to take home.

>>17848762
>You're not going to die, right up until you're going to die
damn................ never thought of it like that

Okay, never mind, I actually wanna share my mother's favorite joke.

So, a Rabbi calls up a local "Christian activist" group.
>Mr. Rabbi: "Excuse me, I got your pamphlet. Did we Jews really sell out your beloved nation?"
>Activist: "Damn right, you dirty fucking kikes sold us out!"
>Mr. Rabbi: "Excellent! ...Do you know where I collect my share?"

Cue dad telling her not to make those jokes around the kids.

>>17849057
Don't "no true Scotsman" me.

>>17849081
Oh haha, I get it now. You're baptist. Good one... You fucking pricks made my life suck in middle school, how'd you turn out in adulthood faggot?

>>17849102
I'm Reform, idiot, and I'm doing just fine for myself. Man, you're uppity. It's no wonder you were bullied.

>>17849107
Kill yourself, or better yet, let me do it for you.

Not anymore thanks to the senile fucks in Washington, signing away our future.

>>17849109
Hopefully you'll realize sooner than later that there's a reason you don't get along with normal people. I can't imagine the self-inflicted distress you face in your daily life.

>>17847439
Now add all the stuff you need to make those items palatable. No one with a job in a developed, 1st world nation should be barely subsisting or spending 25% of their pay on food. Also, your metric measurements give away the fact that you'll never comprehend where we're coming from. You probably mean well, but you don't percieve all of the subtle components that add up to the problem in this country

>>17849125
How much therapy did you go to just to spend your time on 4chan and talk to strangers who would rather you be dead? Lol... yeah you're doing great bro.

>>17849140
I'm gonna recommend you sit down and have a nice cup of coffee. Really enjoy it. You're angry, and it's not making a good impression.

>>17849149
Ah man, I'm sorry that you're not having a great experience with me on four_chan_dot_net

Costco food operates at a loss, but they make money on their memberships and everything else.

It's the same situation as their rotisserie chicken being $5 and never being changed

>>17847432
obvious bait

>>17847448
>>17847432

Everything else here has gone up so much more now I fucking hate it

supermarket. once you know how to cook and stock your kitchen with the basic stuff like cooking oil, salt, sugar, butter, a couple jars of seasoning, garlic then you can basically shop in the produce dept and get a months worth of food for the cost of a week's worth of fast-food.

There's a lot I don't like about American, but we're really good at getting good food everywhere for super super cheap

The price is similar since it is 130 yen to the dollar.
The yen has been plummeting so much lately that it has become a small social problem.

>>17847341
yeah but the "food" is half random chemicals that are banned in most countries and they only get paid $3/hour

>>17847341
It's a loss leader, meant to bring you into the store to buy other stuff

>>17849219
>There's a lot I don't like about American, but we're really good at getting good food everywhere for super super cheap

The Costco dog has been kept artificially cheap more or less purely by the will of the owner and CEO. One of his things is he's absolutely refused to ever raise the price on the dog.

Didn't stop the Polish from getting the axe when his advisors convinced him to push for yuppie bux though.

>>17849081
Got a better one for you

>A priest and a rabbi are walking down the street together
>On their way, they pass by a young boy walking his bicycle in the opposite direction
>The priest turns to the rabbi and says "I'd really like to fuck that kid."
>The rabbi responds "Out of what?"

>>17847341
I think it's kinda funny, the concept of a big supermarket with all the stores and restaurants at the front. It's like a bastardized version of a town square.

>>17849136
Salt, pepper, butter and olive oil? Not that expensive

>>17847584
Never knew costco had stores in Europe apart from the UK, too bad there are none here (Netherlands), but bulk stores are quite uncommon here, and can only used by businesses/restaurants (you need to be registered with Chamber of Commerce to attain membership).

Here's a UK one.

>>17847439
it makes me laugh so fucking much when i see these malnutrition causing starch/unvarying meat/frozen industrial vegetables meal plans. the people who make them think theyre so fucking smart.
i eat probably about 15 or more different types of vegetables every week, usually varying from week to week. you are destroying your body with a severe lack of micronutrients, not to mention frozen packaged vegetables have the texture of fuckign dogfood. i dont even need to ask what country youre from.

>food deserts which are so rural
>rural

The majority of food deserts are in cities populated by people who it has been proven refuse to buy anything but fastfood even when available. Which is literally how it became a food desert to begin with; through the unfeeling touch of market forces

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loss_leader
IIRC the CEO of Costco recently fired a Vice President who wanted to raise the price to $2.00 for the combo. Cursed him out on the phone with almost all of upper management listening.

t. /biz/, invested in COST

>>17851713
You keep spouting this "loss leader" horseshit but you can literally buy the component products in-store for less. It's supply chain momentum, you faggot. They buy their products out to the fucking bottom to cut costs and avoid losses.

This is why you're middling-to-poor. You fall for promotional propaganda over basic business tactics.

>hot dog royale
My favorite hot dog is called the big bacon dog royale. It’s best when the bacon is partly raw

>>17853432
>It’s best when the bacon is partly raw
I guess it depends on what country you are from but bacon is not "raw" if it is not fried fully.

>>17850537

>>17851418
The real question is, is there some way to get the real hot dog with the toppings from the vegan simulacrum?

>>17847438
Don't be a pussy, they're pickled.

>>17853654
They're opening one here in Auckland sometime this year. 20 dollars says they charge something absurd like $3 for the combo. ...And I'll still buy it.

>>17847341
Not, generally. The rotisserie chicken and the food at the food stalls at costco are sold way cheaper than at other places. They hit good though.

Yes, the weak will not feed on hot dogs.

Look at these losers seething over glorious poutine

>>17849564
1) “Food deserts” are always inner city (black) neighborhoods. So urban, not rural,
2) food desserts have been proven to not actually exist. People don’t shop at their nearest grocery stores, but travel to the nearest Walmart, which have bus lines for those too poor for even a car. So the “2 miles is too far” point is useless, since the don’t go there even if it’s 2 miles.

if you can't make your own sauce, you should just kill yourself. some restaurants are fine, but gay ass big surfaces goyslopshops are diareah-tier

>>17847416
I love they don't even try to translate "chicken bake".

>>17848873
If the pay is shit and you're worked like a dog then the service we receive will reflect that. It sucks, I both blame and sympathize with fast food workers. I only just left minimum wage and I try and give everyone decency but at a certain point when my manager threatens to fire me over having a Gatorade at my station I just can't give a fuck anymore and a single customer can ruin my mood for the rest of the day.

>>17856659
Calm down xqc
Why would anyone make poutine at home when it's made to be eaten shit faced at night.
It's like banking bread, in that it takes way too long to prepare, the ingredients are so specific, and you're never eating more than a bowl once a week unless you're a fat fuck.
if you actually live in Canada you're always 50ft from a place that sells decent poutine so where the fuck do you live where only a few restaurants "get it right". Don't come at me with the "authentic Montreal poutine". I can find good shit in any pizza chain or even shawarma chains.

>>17856726
>think baking bread take too long

kys yourself you fucking dog fucker, god I hope Québec become a free nation so I wont ever be associated with you fuckers and your dog semen slurping ways
literally everything good in cucknada came from us and you white anglo niggers can only appropriate it

The gravy is Scottish you faggot. You're so desperate to grasp for anything culturally distinct that you turn CHEESY BAKED POTATOES INTO YOUR ONLY ACCOMPLISHMENT.
You'd be NOTHING without us. Name how many french colonies are successful. That's right, Haiti.
Your white trash dialect is like listening to pigs sucking cock.
Your cities are crumbling because they're built with mafia cement

You only live to run our hydroelectric

Do you strip tree bark to make your own paper? Don't make your life harder, you already live in Quebec.

>>17848167
That's because that pic is from Québec not France. They don't have signs that say sortie like that.

>tfw was at costco yesterday and the nearest one is a mile away
Feels good. They even have a gas station.

>>17857151
I hate how thier gas stations have this weird pump nozzle that forces me to to stand there and cram the pump into my car for it to keep pumping. Like now just holding the handle, I have to physically push the nozzle against my car for it to keep pumping. This is the only nozzle I've ever seen like this. It also makes it a lot harder to fill a gas can.

>>17848366
what a travesty. dining in a retail clothing and hardware store. pure american innovation. squeezing profit out of thin air. bravo.

>>17857163
yeah thats the only thing that sucks idk why they have that. In my state the gas nozzle holder thing is illegal so Its not a big deal for me and it usually works fine if I pull on the same side my gas hole is anyway

>>17847370
>Mustard applied in a thin, straight strip
This is the 9/11 of food photography. This is so bad. How did this make it onto an advertisement?

>>17851418
They're not bad. It was a worthwhile deal when two veggie dogs cost the same as a single meat dog, but now they cost the same where I live.

>>17847412
$350 is livable, you could go way cheaper if you went pure rice+beans and frozen spinach or something of course though
>>17847428
damn can't believe Biden singlehandedly raised the whole worlds food prices

>>17847360
Just visit Canada

You have weak digestion.

>>17847412
>Would you say a poor american (minimum wage tier) is better of buying food in a supermarket or eating the cheapest fast food for lets say 1600kcal a day?
Fast food is never cheaper than cooking it yourself. Even something like McDonald's where a hamburger is $1, keep in mind that it's only a 1/8 lb. of beef and that a whole pound of ground beef is like $4 for 80/20 or 70/30. You are paying for convenience. If you fortify the meal with cheap starches like potatoes (like McDonalds) or rice the price per serving gets even lower.

Keeps the niggers out too.

>>17849028
Where from

yes americans is gladly eat food-shaped plastic byproduct kust because they is fat and its is cheap and their is stupid

>>17847459
yes, this is why all our poor are fat, they are practically force-fed all sorts of processed shit
it actually takes a little bit of self awareness and effort to eat healthy, which is why the upper classes are generally more lean

If I remember correctly, Costco sells these hot dogs at a loss. They just want to keep them at $1.50.

>no more chicken bake

Fck Costco taking away the best items on the menu

for a dollar and fifty cents more i could get 8 hot dogs, 8 buns, and a basically equivalent amount of soda at the dollar tree

Tips are one of the reason I don't eat out anymore.
I'm sorry I don't feel like robbing myself again after the expensive food so you can get paid more money than a tradesperson to bring a drink to a table and remember what I wanted to eat for more than 30 seconds

>>17847341
There food is made of mostly 90% of corn syrup so it makes sense why its cheap

>>17860068
You could take almost any stock or crypto and do that right now. You're only dumb if you sell low, it's time to BUY

>>17847341
>Americans need to have food courts even in retail stores

>>17856685
problem is i dont think a single costco in this country pays minimum wage, they're always 2+ dollars over minimum wage and it aint linecook shit - you're making hotdogs, filling and wrapping chicken bakes, and saucing up pizzas.

>>17860886
>slurpfag
We are entering the cave. Think back to 2008 and how it took half a decade to recover.
Retail just got shoah'd and it's been the stable staple of the last couple years. Look at Target. If you're brave, check the aftermarket.

This isn't a random crypto-tier nuking. The bottom just fell out. You're not grabbing a falling knife, you're jumping into an empty elevator shaft.

>>17861471
wait are you saying stock prices go down sometimes

>>17861529

Stocks will keep going down at least until they start going up again. We will know for sure when that happens because price changes will switch from a downward direction to an upward direction. One of the indicators that we can use to determine the timing of this change is that we will start to see stock prices rising instead of falling. That will tell us when the direction of stocks has changed from moving down to moving up. Once we know for sure that stocks are predominantly going upward, we can observe that they will mostly not be going downward. This observation will tell us that on average during that time, a given stock will rise instead of fall. This means that the price of such a stock would likely to be going up, and would unlikely to be going down. However, depending on the circumstanes, the stock might not move upward, and would instead move downward. In such a case, the value of an investor's holdings of that stock would not be rising, and would instead be falling. This is not optimal, as one of the goals of investing is for the value of holdings to go up, and not to go down. Investors prefer to invest in stocks with prices that have an upward direction, and not stocks with a downward direction. Investors that mostly invest in such stocks can expect to see the overall values of their portfolios rise instead of fall. This means that the prices of the stocks within those portfolios are, on average, going up and not going down. Thus, individual stocks may have their own trajectory, but the general direction would be upward instead of downward. In fact, if a stock's price is changing, then that means it is either rising or falling.

>>17861548
haha yeah

>>17861529
-10% or more in a day is an industry death knell. Some retail stocks almost crashed -25%. Anyone who was heavy in retail just had their net worth bruised and beaten with zero apology.
