What Surprises or Shocks Have You Encountered in the Market?

The stock market has been full of "surprises" lately! Last week, there was news that "BlackRock bought a huge stake in Pinduoduo," which turned out to be a mistake: the reported shares were accidentally “multiplied by 4,” and Pinduoduo's stock closed down 4.8% on that day. McDonald’s faced a sudden “black swan” event, dropping 5%. What surprises or shocks have you encountered in the market recently? And what opportunities have you missed?

$HighCom Ltd(HCL.AU)$ Ok ive talked about this stock a couple of times. Its an Australian company with subsidiaries in the USA. I first brought it when russia invaded ukraine. They make military helmets and body armor, and do drones as well.  Im seriously anti war, but the stuff they make saves the lives of people that didn't start war, so i was fine investing in it. Shortly after i invested, the company Received the largest contract they had ever had to supply helmets and body armor to an anonymous buyer, and the cash was paid in advance in full. Obviously ukraine, but they could not disclose that. This was a game changer for the business but it took about 2 months for the market to pick the news up, and the stock skyrocketed eventually. T

$McDonald's(MCD)$   McDonald is a great fast food restaurant! We Lovin it . Tasty burgers and fries !
$Sea Ltd(SE)$  I have faith and confidence in this company. I had been buying Sea Ltd since it dropping. The 3 business models for gaming, e-commerce and digital banking are making profit now. Therefore, I do not see why the stock price will not be going up. You must keep for long term and you can see the price shot to the moon. None of its competition is new. SE is the dominant player in its markets, of course it won't grow as fast as someone just starting out and burning billions.  SEA has challenges, certainly, will require patience no doubt, but as a long term perspective, i dont see how not to be long on SE. I will keep buying. Great long opportunity. My target price is $110 by end of Nov 2024.
$Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$ going to the moon... next destination will be Mars...
