My UPS driver just bragged about how he's killing it in LINK and VET and putting ALL his money into crypto. Ummmm, ok...let me know how that works out but at the moment those guys (and my kids) are KICKING MY ASS!!!! FOMO is making me wanna puke! 

    That is a great example

    That is a great example of the "shoeshine boy" indicator.  If you don't know about it, Joe Kennedy got out of the stock market in 1928 because as he said (and I misquote) "when every shoe shine boy, taxi driver, and doorman has a stock tip, it is time to get out of the market."  While it is probably a terrible timing tool, it does indicate the party is close to ending.  I had some neophyte friends as me over lunch last week if I was trading GameStop and if I had any good stock tips.  Of course I told them to stick to their plan if they had one.
