Reddit posts report broad sell-off, Nasdaq down 6% and AI names sharply lower
Posts on r/stocks and r/investing describe a sudden, broad market decline across sectors, with the r/investing post stating the Nasdaq is down around 6% and in correction territory. That post attributes the drop in AI infrastructure names to fear that a new Democratic Congress could bring stricter AI data center regulation, while noting most companies released no bad news that day. The r/stocks post asks where the outflows are going without identifying a cause.
