stop looking at charts like Sandisk and Intel and using it as reason to be underwhelmed

you’re missing the point.
the margins for what is considered ‘normal’ have been widened
you watched Gold, Oil, and now Stocks, trade like illiquid shitcoins
what do you think illiquid shitcoins will trade like? [eventually, when the time is right]
if only there were a higher-beta industry where eventually people will want rotate capital into once the volatility on those larger assets goes back to normal and momentum fizzles out(!) — that would be a no-brainer play
can you think of an industry that’s known for volatility and asymmetric bets?
