Return Of Idiots Hits Unreal Highs as Investors Cheer Their Own Decline
Analysts confirm the chart is going up, the chart is going down, and also sideways. None of it matters. The buyers are smiling anyway. A correspondent on the ground reports that the only fundamental being analysed is vibes.
By A correspondent who refuses to log offFiled from a beanbag, location classifiedUpdated never. Reality declined to comment.

In what economists are calling a textbook example of "stop looking at the chart and you'll be happy", the asset known as Return Of Idiots ($ROI) continued its inexplicable rally this morning, climbing several thousand percent against logic, reason, and the advice of every adult in the room.
The token, which trades exclusively on the Solana network and on belief, has now outperformed every traditional benchmark, every degree in finance, and most marriages. Holders interviewed at the local meme exchange described the strategy as "buy the top, hold through pain, deny the loss, screenshot the green candle, never speak of the red one".
Critics, of which there are many and which are universally ignored, point out that the project has no roadmap, no use case, no team photos, no whitepaper, and no shame. Project advocates respond that this is "a feature".
Asked for comment, the token replied with a watering can and a small money tree. The interview was over in seconds.

"I bought the top. I bought the second top. I bought the dead cat that bounced after the second top. I am up. I do not understand it either."
. Reader from Wisconsin who asked to be identified only as "based"
The newspaper has been unable to confirm whether the chart actually represents anything. Internal staff are split: half believe it is a price chart, half believe it is a heart-rate monitor of the audience reading it.

Why I bought the top, again, and slept like a baby
By a guest contributor . writes from a beanbag
Pictured: The author tends to his portfolio. He has been told not to overwater. He overwaters.
People keep asking me how I sleep at night. The answer is: extremely well, on a pile of unrealised losses, under a blanket of unread Telegram pings.
The thesis is simple. There are two kinds of capital in this market: smart and dumb. Smart capital reads filings, models cash flow, sets stop losses, and quietly retires at fifty. Dumb capital sees a wojak holding a brick of cash and a watering can, and rotates the entire savings account into it on a Sunday night. Smart capital is fine. Dumb capital is having a much better story.
I will never sell. Not because I believe in the project. Because I do not have the energy to file the tax form.

Test drive of the week: Local investor takes possession of a 2026 Yellow Liability. Mileage figures unavailable, money keeps flying out the windows.
The flagship index, ROIS, surged again on volume that did not exist. Traders cited "good vibes" and "the wojak is smiling" as primary catalysts. Bond yields were also doing a thing. Nobody checked.
In international news, a basket of foreign idiots outperformed the domestic basket by a hair. Currency desks attributed the move to time zones, daylight saving time, and one very loud Telegram admin.

From our readers
Three short letters, one running argument
Dear Editor,
I followed your advice in last week's column and turned my brain completely off. My portfolio is now up. My family is concerned. I am not. Keep up the good work.
. Yours, A reader who refuses to read
Dear Editor,
Your front page yesterday was fearmongering. The arrows go both up AND down. Have you considered they might also go sideways? Stop dividing the community.
. Sent from a phone, ignored from a desk
Dear Editor,
I have invented a new method of personal finance. It involves a washing machine and absolute denial. Please find attached photo. Please send a journalist. Preferably a good one.
. With laundered regards, B. Ogss

Outlook: hot copium fronts moving in from the south. High pressure of FOMO building over the central timeline. Wind chill of irrelevance dropping after a single bad tweet. Tomorrow: same.
