There is a lot going on in the world right now, and the stock market has been on a rough ride so far this year. Maybe the negative vibes are spread by others.

The companies that reported positive results had mixed reactions on the market. Box and Splunk's stock was up around 6% this week. It was Wall Street's equivalent of screaming praise from the rooftops because of the stock market's historically negative response to Box results.

Snowflake's stock took a hit this week despite revenue growing 101%, something most would consider robust. At one point in after-hours trading, the stock was down as much as 30%. The company stock was down over 20% for the week.
