# Discussion on WSB: Bitcoin plunges below $73,000, MARA and MSTR remain hot topics.

-   AI stocks continue to be on the list, including NVIDIA, TSMC, AMD, Intel, SMCI, ARM, and NVIDIA's holding SOUN;
-   Boeing ranks fourth on the hot list, with a continuous three-day decline, totaling about 10%.
-   Former Boeing employee John Barnett, who previously exposed major quality defects at Boeing, "committed suicide" on March 9 in the United States. According to the plan, he was supposed to undergo further questioning on March 9, but he did not show up on time and was found dead in a car in the hotel parking lot.
-   Public information shows that Barnett worked at Boeing for 32 years and retired in 2017 due to health reasons. From 2010 to 2017, he served as the quality manager of Boeing's final assembly line. Over the years, he repeatedly issued serious warnings to the company's management about the quality issues of Boeing products, but they were not taken seriously. After retiring, Barnett initiated a long-term lawsuit against Boeing, accusing the company of defaming his character, obstructing his career development, and retaliating against him for raising quality issues. Although Boeing has always denied Barnett's accusations, an audit by the Federal Aviation Administration in 2017 partially confirmed his claims, revealing at least 53 missing non-conforming parts. Boeing was ordered to take immediate remedial measures.
-   Tesla ranks sixth on the hot list. On March 13, Tesla's super factory on the outskirts of Berlin, Germany, resumed production ahead of schedule after being closed for a week. Prior to this, a fire near the factory's power tower caused a power outage. It is estimated that the one-week production stoppage affected sales by approximately 324 million euros.
-   Apple ranks ninth on the hot list. Apple has recently significantly underperformed the market, with a continuous decline for six consecutive trading days. When asked how Duan Yongping views executive departures, he replied that Apple's strength is definitely not the result of one or two individuals.
-   Blockchain concept stocks continue to be on the list, with MARA and MSTR attracting market attention. Stock price fluctuations are highly correlated with BTC, and the risk of fluctuations is gradually accumulating. Currently, BTC has surpassed $73,000.
-   Oracle (ORCL) ranks 17th on the hot list, with performance exceeding expectations. In the eyes of some Wall Street investment institutions, ORCL, a global tech giant known for its cloud computing services and database software, has officially joined the ranks of tech giants benefiting from artificial intelligence. ORCL surged nearly 12% yesterday.
-   Data source: apewisdom, the most discussed stocks in the past 24 hours.Note:

The Wall Street Bets (WSB) channel on Reddit was created in 2012. This investment community has attracted over 14 million users and is a gathering place for retail investors to discuss US stocks. The stocks discussed in this channel are often the hottest ones at the moment. Due to the channel's significant influence, it may lead to price fluctuations.

Risk Warning:

Stocks hotly discussed on WSB, especially for small companies (such as GameStop GME and AMC in 2021), may experience significant volatility due to retail investors' pursuit or abandonment. Please be aware of the risks.
