Ingredient: retail brokerage platform with high exposure to options, margin, and crypto activity.
Soak: violent boom/bust cycles matching retail sentiment, meme stock phases, and crypto liquidity waves.
Rinse: regulatory pressure, declining engagement, platform concentration, and short-lived trading cycles.
🔥 Meme-Heat: highly emotional, stochastic, sentiment-driven.
Thesis: BULL is a thermometer for risk-on retail flows. When flows spike, upside is violent; in quiet markets, the narrative dies.
Weeks-to-months horizon, not multi-year.
Role: Trading Sandbox. Sizing: micro-sized 'learning capital'.
