That would put it around six-seven?"},{"host":"Sloane","text":"Six thousand seven hundred thirty-five. The account calls itself I Am Groot. Posted this morning."},{"host":"Eric","text":"I Am Groot. Of course."},{"host":"Sloane","text":"Here's the post: S&P 500 at six thousand seven thirty-five, Nasdaq at twenty-two nine ten, Dow at forty-six seven oh six."},{"host":"Eric","text":"Those are not today's numbers."},{"host":"Sloane","text":"They are not. The latest confirmed close has the S&P at seven thousand seven fifty-seven, Nasdaq twenty-six seven oh two, Dow fifty-two eight fifty-six."},{"host":"Eric","text":"So this person grabbed a screenshot from, what, a year ago?"},{"host":"Sloane","text":"Could be. The point is those numbers are stale, and they're circulating."},{"host":"Eric","text":"Okay, one account with one like posting old numbers—does it actually matter? Anyone can check."},{"host":"Sloane","text":"That's the problem. Not everyone checks. People scrolling see a number, they think it's today. This is how panic starts."},{"host":"Eric","text":"I think you're overstating it. If you have money in the market, you know your index level."},{"host":"Sloane","text":"Not true. Plenty of people have a 401(k) and no idea what the S&P is supposed to be. They see six-seven, they think it crashed from seven-seven."},{"host":"Eric","text":"But the post also shows the Dow and Nasdaq at old levels. Any one of those would look wrong."},{"host":"Sloane","text":"Are you saying misinformation is fine because it's obvious to you?"},{"host":"Eric","text":"No, I'm saying this is a tweet with one like. Calling it \"circulating\" is generous."},{"host":"Sloane","text":"It's still wrong. And wrong numbers about the market are worse than wrong movie trivia, because people act on them."},{"host":"Eric","text":"Who acts on a random handle called I Am Groot?"},{"host":"Sloane","text":"Retail traders do. They see a post, they panic, they sell. It happens."},{"host":"Eric","text":"Then maybe the problem is people selling based on a tweet they didn't verify."},{"host":"Sloane","text":"Which is exactly why we point out the real numbers on air. That's the job."},{"host":"Eric","text":"Fine. Fair enough. The real S&P is around seven-seven-five. Up almost half a percent last week."},{"host":"Sloane","text":"And that number comes from an actual verified close, not a random screenshot."},{"host":"Eric","text":"Look, if someone makes a trading decision off a single tweet with a comic book handle, that's on them."},{"host":"Sloane","text":"That's too easy. The account posted those numbers as a market update. The format looks official."},{"host":"Eric","text":"It's got an emoji and a link to who knows where. It's not exactly Bloomberg."},{"host":"Sloane","text":"But people don't fact-check the source. They see the numbers and the flag emoji and move on."},{"host":"Eric","text":"So the answer is what, we shut down every account that posts a wrong number? Good luck."},{"host":"Sloane","text":"Not shut down. But we should call it out when we see it, which is exactly what this show is for."},{"host":"Eric","text":"I can get behind that. But I still think the actual damage here is minimal."},{"host":"Sloane","text":"Minimal today. But these numbers can sit in a search result and get recycled for weeks."},{"host":"Eric","text":"Then we'll keep correcting them. Fine."},{"host":"Sloane","text":"While we're setting the record straight, there's another post on X—this one from Momo—that has the actual moves."},{"host":"Eric","text":"What does it say?"},{"host":"Sloane","text":"Dow up zero point six nine percent, S&P up zero point five eight, Nasdaq up one point oh five."},{"host":"Eric","text":"Tech led. AI optimism after SpaceX and Super Micro results. That's the real story."},{"host":"Sloane","text":"Exactly. The market didn't jump a thousand points—it drifted higher on tech."},{"host":"Eric","text":"So the fake post had the market at levels from before the AI trade really took off."},{"host":"Sloane","text":"Might explain the confusion. The actual close was much higher, with the S&P around seven-seven-five."},{"host":"Eric","text":"And the real percentages are solid, not spectacular. A normal Monday morning."},{"host":"Sloane","text":"A good reminder: check the date before you repost."},{"host":"Eric","text":"Super Micro's results were decent, and the SpaceX news helped the AI names."},{"host":"Sloane","text":"Right, the AI trade is back on. Nvidia likely led the gains in the Nasdaq."},{"host":"Eric","text":"But we should be careful: these are one report's numbers. Today's open will be its own thing."},{"host":"Sloane","text":"True. We'll see what this week's earnings bring."},{"host":"Eric","text":"Hopefully no more old screenshots."},{"host":"Sloane","text":"No promises."}]}
