But no one is talking about investors holding stocks for more than a year in this comment chain. That's tangential to this comment chain, sorry.

And to your point, investors could have sold for over 25% of profit as well if they had sold it earlier today. So I still stand by saying that this is huge change. Besides, this thread is not about long term, just invest in index funds so I just fail to see the point.

The comment you responded to specifically says "in the context of the unlimited future of the company" which I took to be much longer than a year.

I was coming from the perspective that there is really no such thing as a short term investor, because when you sell, you are dependent on what people think the long term prospects of the stock are.

Okay sorry, I may have mixed things up.
