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.
