It is't not about the size of the Stock, It's about the Motion in the, oh wait wrong Thread.
The market is going to be very volatile this January, more than normal. Most of these Corps are trading at or near their all time highs.

Looking at the price over the past month, it looks like you just had the bad luck to buy it at a local peak. It's a valuable reminder to be cautious IRL when using market orders.

Suggestion:
Would be fun to make Beginning Year (a random date in January) pick of the top 5 selections: Most selected and Most gains since Jan 01. Jan24Gain, Jan24MostSelected

Also pick of the most negative of the our small universe since Jan01. Jan24Dogs
