When the market is a very very high level,

and when some powerful CEO (like TLSA CEO) sells shares,

open your eyes big big and be prepared for a major market drop.

Why did the market selloff on wonderful news? After hours?

Could a bit of this wonderful news been priced in the recent near hperbolic move? The prior day was a range expansion day, which was impressive given the long streak of green days. Seemed like a short capitulation to me.

As far as after hours, it was not the first time the market made a big reversal move to the downside before the regular trading session. Call it dynamics of the marketplace.

An eye opener for me, although not suprising, was TSLA’s announcement of a secondary offering. Perhaps others had the thought TSLA will not likely be the only company that will be adding to the supply of stock.

How far the correction goes, I have no idea. At least volatilty should remain high, allowing exceptional day trading opportunities until the election. The Fed knows they can’t let deflation or loss of confidence to take hold, so I expect the market correction to not go too far before the Fed jawbones and more.

Edit: I may be mistaken about the secondary offering. Based on the post before mine, it looks like insider selling.
 
It is just algos gone wild. They are all doing the wave currently. I suspect it will not last. Profit taking before the holiday and all that.
 
When the biggest single shareholder of TSLA, DE Shaw decides to sell half of his 7-percent stake symbolizes a certain top. Millennium Management LLC and DE Shaw & Co. trimmed their exposure to Tesla Inc. just before the company’s latest drop during the second quarter wiped out roughly $16 billion in market value.

DE Shaw sold TSLA($450) and bought KODK($6), only time will tell how this will pen out.

why did the market rise so much ?
 
To late for vaccine UK and USA everyones had the virus pretty much by the time it's available in bulk just everyone, less than 10% still want the vaccine, the really stupid still scared believing the government brigade and even there falling fast.

So forget vaccine news, that and 1 of the trials in Africa has been rumoured to be killing a lot of children.
