If you do not look at data properly, it can hide right things and reveal wrong things. However, looking at data "properly" needs quite some effort which many do not want to do and social media has only worsened this trend of providing the fastest information (let me bluntly say cut, copy, paste).

1. Pick top 500 companies
2. Find list of companies which have fallen < 10% in last 3 months

✍️ Time periods could be more frustrating the % fall at times. This is where 2020 Covid crash was though severe
