Rules:

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Tech stock selloff deepens as DeepSeek triggers AI rethink (www.reuters.com)

Summary

Global tech stocks plunged after the launch of DeepSeek, a low-cost AI model by Chinese startup DeepSeek, sparked investor concerns over the dominance and valuation of AI giants like Nvidia.

Nvidia shares fell 17%, wiping $593 billion in market value—the largest single-day loss for any company.

The selloff impacted chipmakers, AI firms, and datacenter companies globally.

Analysts view DeepSeek's cost-efficient model as intensifying competition, potentially challenging U.S. tech dominance.

Jup. I hope that is a wake up call for fonds and private people to invest more in conservative/stable stocks and to check what their fonds are investing in. Of course not possible for everyone.

More stock diversification is the answer, not manual filtrering or a tilt towards "stable" stocks. If that does not provide a risk that is tolerable for an investor, then a lower stock allocation is the next step.

For a long time people have trusted their money in the 500 biggest US companies, but ignoring the world and ignoring smaller companies. This does not really make that much sense, but actually makes more sense if you are not an American.

Americans work in the US economy, and often invest in the US economy. Doing so makes you take on additional risk. An allocation towards the entire global stock market gives roughly 50% exposure to US stocks already.

If the US stock market takes a huge dive, then the value of your assets drop, and at the same time you have an increased risk of losing your job.
