Remember the party of 2021? AMC, GME, and the rest of the meme-stock crowd rocketing like fireworks on the Fourth of July. Reddit was the dance floor, Twitter the DJ, and for a while it felt like Wall Street itself had been hijacked by a flash mob.
But like every party, the sun eventually rises. The champagne goes flat. The music cuts out. And suddenly you’re left with a pounding head and a portfolio that looks suspiciously lighter.
That’s the meme stock hangover. 🍾➡️💤
Here’s the thing: hangovers aren’t the end of the world. They’re a painful reminder that euphoria isn’t a strategy. The lesson isn’t “don’t party.” It’s “know when to leave.”
- Chasing hype may feel good in the moment, but it rarely survives the morning light.
- Fundamentals matter more than hashtags.
- And no, your cousin’s “DD” thread wasn’t the same as due diligence.
So if your brokerage app still smells faintly of stale beer and regret, take heart: you’ve graduated. You’ve seen what hype can do. And next time? Maybe drink a little water between shots.
