I have been engaged in stock picking  since I was 16 years old.  As a Regulator for the  State of California, I learned a great deal about investing practices which were proper or  improper.   As a Beverly Hills lawyer for about 18 years,  and as a lawyer in the Desert for several more years,  I brought securities fraud lawsuits against many brokerage houses and individuals.  

The Stock Markets we see today (August 2023) constitute some of the most unpredictable markets ever.  There are many reasons for this.  Included in the  reasons is the Pandemic which has created huge debt which must be repaid at some point and millions of workers who must find good jobs in the near future.  In addition, today thousands of young investors who engage in huge amounts of naked Options writing as well as purchases and sales of securities with little history.  In addition, the way companies go public these days is entirely different from a typical underwriting of the past making it very impossible to know the specific details of new issues.  Overall, the markets are required to deal with severe financial challenges in countries such as China, the world's second largest economy as well as a raging War in the Ukraine with Russia committing intolerable abuses daily.  

Given all of this (and even more), it is important to invest in quality companies and to avoid freaking out when irregular/fraudulent activities dominant in the markets.  Stay calm, invest wisely, and research constantly from sources  that contain solid research.
