What does "get slammed" mean? Hello everyone :) I want to ask you something what does "get slammed" mean? For example *Retail stocks get slammed *Apple, Facebook, Amazon: Suddenly, Tech Stocks Are Getting Slammed *Why Whole Foods Market stock is getting slammed As far as I am concerned, That might mean 'stocks are attacked and declined?' Please help me Thanks you :) Have a wonderful day☀

It is similar to how you would slam something in real life, such as, slamming down your fist onto the table loudly to make a point during a fierce and hot argument, or how you would slam the door in another person's face out of anger.  To push down something violently and quickly.  If stocks get slammed, then they suffered a large drop in a short time period.

You are partially correct in your interpretation. The stocks may be declining, but not attacked.
