Alphabet Inc (GOOG)

[SeriousMoney]

A 1.3% one-day drop is always unsettling, but GOOG was born a volatile child and hasn't even reached adolescence yet.

Since Jun 2005, GOOG's had much bigger one-day drops with comparable volume on climb to 424.60. The most recent 4.7% one-day drop on 11/29/05 took 13 sessions to recover.

But what do I know... got in @ 250!
