On July 13, the group members’ symptoms noticeably eased.

No one was fantasizing about a bull market anymore.
CPO, aerospace, semiconductor chips—these words disappeared from the group. With a lot less noise, it gradually became quiet.
As if everyone had finally seen reality clearly.
Those who were planning to give their boss the boot quietly retrieved their resignation forms and went back to work—plainly, honestly, and as expected. Business owners went back to guarding their shops. Even moms didn’t keep shouting about standing in the light anymore. College students started looking for part-time jobs again to earn money for the summer.
No one was talking anymore about how making money is that simple.
Soon, the group would still return to its usual lively chatter. After all, people’s memories are even shorter than the losses in an account.
