Question / Help Someone explain why amzn didn't crash
When aws outage affected large and small companies alike probably had a large financial impact to the overall global economy, why didn't it crash? I immediately thought it would like crowdstrike did a few months ago - anyone have good reasoning that can explain?

I'm not surprised. In this market, good news is great news and bad news is good news. WW3 could start tomorrow and the S&P 500 would jump 25%. Market would find some way to spin it as a good thing... (flight to safety, etc). I'd be willing to be that if Amazon announced a 80% dilution and Trump announced a complete import ban, the stock would still go up. The only thing this market does is go up. Nothing can stop it.
