Shiba Inu: A Very Serious Gamble

by

Okay, let’s talk about Shiba Inu (SHIB +4.67%). It had a good day. Like, surprisingly good. Up over 5% as of yesterday afternoon. The S&P 500 was also up, a perfectly respectable 1%, which is nice. It’s just… sometimes I feel like I’m managing a portfolio for a very enthusiastic Labrador.

Lots and lots of therapy.
