A personal observation: I used to love chasing hot-topic plays, jumping in as soon as something hit the trending searches. Then I realized that by the time I saw it trending, the early movers had mostly already pulled out.
This time I saw “71-year-old Tesla driver cuts across lanes on an overpass and gets revenge-blocked by another car.” The related asset is $DOGE (Musk), up 1.32% over 24h. These days, I just bookmark it and wait for trading volume to tell the story.

Do your homework before placing an order.
