Stocks Down From Highs
The Kobeissi Letter's bar chart drew 356.3K views on X: 1.5x its typical post and #8 of 48 The Kobeissi Letter charts we track by views. Read Oct 14, 2026.
BREAKING: 84% of S&P 500 stocks are now trading at least -10% below their all-time highs.
Why it spread
This post spread because it landed on a hot topic that week, with 82,289 views, 659 likes, 86 reposts, 17 quotes and 95 saves, from an independent author whose account reaches the top quarter of sources.
What worked
- The headline leads with one striking number, 84% of S&P 500 stocks at least -10% below their all-time highs, which makes the drawdown feel broad and immediate.
- The sector ranking gives the audience a clear order to argue about, Real Estate at 97%, Materials at 96%, Utilities at 94% and Consumer Discretionary at 92%, with Energy noted as holding up better.
- A simple bar chart with medium self labelling and a visible source line makes the claim easy to scan and easy to trust, even with low design polish.
What to borrow
We could use the same framing by leading with a single share of our own universe, then ranking the parts from worst to best so the contrast carries the story.
Careful
Do not copy the low design polish or assume the format alone drove the spread, since the hot topic and the independent author are the stated main reasons, and the quote rate was below average.
