Even the word punishing is really too strong. The stock market isn't making a moral judgement. It's merely an estimate of the value of the company. As twitter's growth prospects decrease the value of the company goes down.

That's what "punishing" means when people use it in the context of stock prices.

Ya I know. I just don't like it because of the moral context that normally comes with that word. I hear you though.
