Retail-driven meme stock mania is back, echoing 2021's irrational exuberance, with surges in fundamentally weak, heavily shorted stocks. Market leadership is shifting from the "Magnificent 7" to the "Fabulous 5" AI giants, driven by proprietary technology and AI infrastructure advantages. Despite market optimism, I remain concerned about persistent tariffs, which threaten corporate margins and ...
