This winter I got into meme stocks. I lost some money on some bets, won money on others. In the end, I doubled my money. Free money is always great—but even better was the entertainment this provided me as my mind zoomed around. I needed a distraction from the political circus that poisons the feed daily. Pop culture couldn’t provide it. Work couldn’t provide it. And even though I have some money in crypto—I had a strong feeling I was way too late to the game for that to even be fun.
