NEW YORK — As US markets continued their spectacular impression of a dropped piano this week, analysts urge investors to remain invested in MAMPOS.
Faham tak? Mampos lah! Alamak, habis lah! Saya tak pandai cakap Melayu.
The MAMPOS index comprises Meta, Apple, Microsoft, Palantir, Oracle, and Salesforce, six companies that financial experts insist are "temporarily misunderstood by the market," a phrase traditionally used whenever billions of dollars evaporate before lunch.
"Look, every generation has its FAANG, MAG7, or whatever acronym investment banks invent," said investment strategist Gerald Brokewell in pristine Queens English, moments before refreshing his portfolio for the 184th time that day. "This generation has MAMPOS. And if that sounds ominous, that's purely linguistic."
Singaporean investors were reportedly less convinced.
"My broker asked if I wanted to buy more MAMPOS," said software engineer Tan Pok Gai. "I thought he was giving up."
Several local investors admitted they burst out laughing the first time they saw the acronym.
"Imagine calling your retirement strategy 'It's The End'," said one. "Next they'll launch another ETF called GGWP."
Wall Street firms, however, remain steadfast.
In a 74-page research report titled 'Why MAMPOS Is Still A Buy', analysts explained that the recent double-digit declines should actually be viewed as "a buying opportunity," a phrase they have now used during approximately the last fourteen buying opportunities.
"When prices fall 5%, you buy."
"When they fall 10%, you buy more."
"When they fall 20%, you HODL lagi...TO THE MOON!"
"When they fall 40%, you go and tell your spouse you're 'investing for the long term.'"
Despite trillions of dollars in market value disappearing over recent sessions, experts maintain that nothing fundamental has changed except the share prices, investor confidence, and everyone's blood pressure.
Financial influencers have also embraced the acronym, posting motivational messages such as "MAMPOS isn't the end—it's the beginning of generational wealth," before quietly disabling comments.
At press time, Goldman Sachs was reportedly considering launching a new premium technology fund consisting entirely of companies beginning with the letters H, A, B, I, S, but decided the branding might be "slightly too bearish."
