Market chaos is just meme money now

Market swings right now are next-level - that massive liquidity spike everyone’s talking about feels like just the opening act, and now it’s the US stock market’s turn in the circus. Tesla is the ultimate meme: they recall cars for safety, scrap features like self-driving, pivot to building robots, and somehow the stock leaps 200 points just because Wall Street decided “ticker go brrrr.” It’s like everyone forgot they’re supposed to make actual cars. Meanwhile, money is sloshing around everywhere. Governments keep printing more cash, and with that, everything from gold (GLD), silver (SLV), and copper to whatever random crypto is hitting new highs, then crashing back to January levels in a week. Commodities are trading like meme coins on Bybit, alarm bells everywhere. The playbook is always the same: the big guys set up a pump, then a dump, and retail investors like me panic-sell the moment things wobble. One day gold’s supposed to double because some “expert” is hyping it up on Norwegian TV, the next you check your junior mining stocks and realize you’ve just round-tripped back to last Tuesday’s prices. All this hype isn’t new either - last year it was cocoa spiking and crashing, now it’s Carvana, Coreweave, and whatever else is flavor of the month. It’s a house of cards, and the only constant is that the institutions get richer while retail investors end up burned. Honestly, it’s a story as old as time. Buy the top, get wrecked, rinse and repeat. If you’re lucky you dollar-cost average and stop checking your phone. If not, congrats, you just funded some hedge fund manager’s next yacht while they call it “market efficiency.”
