1. Korea tripled the minimum deposit on single-stock leveraged ETFs to try to cool retail speculation, and the workaround showed up same day: dump the long leveraged ETF, rotate straight into the inverse one, no single-stock exposure required. Kospi still ripped another huge single-day gain while that rotation happened. Less risk-off, more finding a new door the second the old one gets locked. Worth watching if regulators come back with round two.
2. $MRAM is up nearly 17% today riding the same memory-shortage wave that's got the sub arguing whether $MU's forward P/E of 4 means structurally cheap or just cyclical like always. Samsung's own report says the shortage could stretch into 2028 with real capacity relief not until 2029, so the bull case has legs on paper. But there's already a fresh loss post from someone who all-in'd MU calls and got chopped 80% on the way down first, reminder that undervalued and doesn't crash first aren't the same thing.
3. $SPY ran from 727 to 757 in a handful of sessions and the top thread on it is basically why is this happening, not let's ride it. $PLTR's blowout quarter and cooling Iran-war headlines get some of the credit, but the mood reads more disbelief than euphoria, people bracing for a flush instead of chasing the ATH. If that keeps up without a real pullback, watch for the no way this is real crowd to eventually cave and chase, that's usually the tell.
