Layoffs actually tend to artificially deflate stock prices as it's seen as a signal of a company in financial distress - this is actually one of the reasons why industries tend to do layoffs simultaneously across multiple corporations. Of course this can be used to turn a profit through short selling but you'd need to have some sort of prior knowledge to set up the short positions prior to the layoffs being announced.

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
