TAIEX at 43,500: The Warning Signs of a Crash! The Fully-Invested Are Walking Toward a Cliff

That friend who never watches the markets starts asking you what to buy now. Two office workers at a convenience store chat about "AI—if you don't buy now, you'll miss out."

TWSE at 43,500, US Stocks Hit New Highs: 3 Crash Warning Signs 90% of Retail Investors Miss

With the Taiwan Stock Exchange (TWSE) at 43,500 and the US S&P 500 at record highs, group chats are filled with people shouting "this time is different."
