Correction is in!
Do you mean, a detox period as we get rid of that pesky government spending? A reset, or transitional period, as some have called it?

Here is the deal with beanie baby NFTs, you can make more of them. The whole point of the beanie baby portfolio is that there is a finite amount of beanie babies and as a result they will only go to the moon. You can just make more NFTs

But the Top Was In for beanie babies in about 1999, right? Are you saying the BB Top is NOT in? Or are you saying the sky's the limit for NFTs of BBs? Plus, should I be concerned that I can still buy physical BB's and they seem to be still manufactured?

Securities analysis was child's play compared to this stuff.

The beanie baby top is NOT in. In fact, this is the bottom. There is literally a finite and ever decreasing amount of them. As supply goes down and demand goes up, beanie babies will be worth more and more.

While this sounds comfy, sleeping on beanie babies crushes them, reducing their value.

Correct.  It's better to sleep on beanie bags for this reason:

I think the official calculus of comfortable sleeping goes something like:

Moving Cheese Grater < Lego < Beanie Babies < Concrete < Mattress with Springs < Beanie Bags < Hard Foam Mattress < Carpet on Floor

What is that flammable rectangle of papers in her hands?  The top is in and she's taking all the risks - I'm betting that beanie bag goes up in an instantaneous mushroom cloud of fire and smoke...

Purchasing cybertrucks is a suckers bet.  You can just cruise the highways looking for pieces that have flown off and assemble your own like a kit car.

I've started looking at Teslas. I heard the used prices are coming down and people are having trouble giving them away. But when I look for one, they're still a bit above my tastes.

So Tesla Top isn't in.
