Is AIRbnb because of arbitrage / high fees? Also, I invested in Rivian, but I believe they will make a rebound hopefully. With Amazons deal and supply chain management issues being resolved eventually, hopefully, they will make it through.

Yeah, I spotted that problem. Skews it to the present cause the value of money is so much lower.
% prolly wouldn't work because many stocks go all the way to zero.
Inflation adjusted would make sense, though. All in 2020 $ or something.

Companies came back but shareholders still lost 100%. Someone (you and I) did take care of the union and workers though. :caution:

META lost $232 Billion in one day
AAPL lost over $100B multiple times

Not sure what the point is of that list since it’s not close to being the biggest single ticker losses

The top 10 biggest single ticker losses (for one day) dwarfs whatever nonsense that original list showed
