Examples... Nvidia low $100's when AI hype was just starting to build. Netflix $160 when hype about their ad tier pivot commenced. Treasuries, early 2022 on furious rate hike demand/spec.

Today was a great example of the mistakes that we all have made and the manipulation that occurs often with the ridiculous Margin rules within the brokerage houses.
