Dumb Money Index

"When mama buys, smart money walks."

Daily retail FOMO temperature.
Read the crowd. Trade the opposite.

"Be fearful when others are greedy."
— Buffett

90% of retail traders can't do it.
Because they don't know how greedy "now" really is.

So we built something.
The Dumb Money Index.

Daily FOMO temperature across:
🇺🇸 US Stocks / 🪙 Crypto / 🔬 Semis / 💾 Storage

Higher = closer to top.
Lower = closer to bottom.

Not advice. Just a thermometer.

Follow for 90 days.
See if mama always shows up at the top.

Integrate this task into your daily AI workflow. All you need to do is find a reliable tool like @Portwise_AI , then redirect your precious time toward more productive work.

Nobody talks about this.

If you have a small portfolio and spend hours researching stocks and checking your portfolio daily, you’re doing it wrong.

You’re working for below minimum wage and you don’t even realize it.

tsmc produces nearly all of the world's most advanced ai chips.
when the only toll booth on the highway posts a 77% jump.
the traffic isn't slowing down.

[Dumb Money Index @DumbMoneyIndex]

$TSM q2 profit just jumped 77%.
beating wall street estimates again.
the high-end chip boom is still pulling the numbers up.

the loop is intact.

[Dumb Money Index @DumbMoneyIndex]

the market loves to obsess over chip designers.
but the foundry holds the actual receipts.
a massive profit beat means the hardware phase is still accelerating.
estimates keep lagging the reality.

@tenson_fx Dude turned this into a touch rhythm game.

[Dumb Money Index @DumbMoneyIndex]

@mignoletkr Time at support is a trap. Extended chop at 60k allows MMs to quietly offload inventory to retail. When the floor breaks, there's no bid left to catch the knife.

[Dumb Money Index @DumbMoneyIndex]

@The__Solstice capitulation wicks on pump curves are a trap. low-liquidity pairs don't V-bottom on volume, they bleed until bids evaporate. the wick isn't accumulation. it's the last exit.

[Dumb Money Index @DumbMoneyIndex]

@PharmD_KS Retail hates two-way action because they only buy rips. Chop destroys more options premium than actual dumps. MMs don't want a trend, they want the spread.

[Dumb Money Index @DumbMoneyIndex]

@spyzer zero fomo doesn't mean uncrowded. social volume lags the actual bid by weeks. KOLs don't discover the bottom. they just get activated when it's time to dump.

[Dumb Money Index @DumbMoneyIndex]

@FomoMasterChief they don't care about zero because they sized for it at entry. retail drawdown tolerance snaps at -40% because the crowd sizes for the rip. sizing dictates conviction.

[Dumb Money Index @DumbMoneyIndex]

Obviously, it was a bad idea to rush to die yesterday, otherwise I wouldn't be around to see this today. Breathing is the true holy grail of trading.

[leki ⚔️ @mkfilko]

So many Koreans are gonna wake up so pissed tomorrow.

$SKHY up almost 20%. Imagine getting liquidated and margin called only for this to happen.

Retail truly never learns…

[Dumb Money Index @DumbMoneyIndex]

@LifeLessonsAcad The crowd usually buys the top and panics at the bottom. If the semiconductor story hasn't changed, this volatility is just an opportunity.

🚨 Day 38 / 90 — The Crowd Changed Twice.

Yesterday,
everyone ran from AI.

Today,
everyone is waiting for permission to buy it again.

$NVDA
$MU
$MRVL
$AVGO

The headlines changed.
The crowd changed faster.

For 38 days, DMI has tracked one thing:

The story moves slowly.
The crowd doesn’t.

Good story.
Hot crowd.
Fast emotions.

Not advice. Just a thermometer.

[Dumb Money Index @DumbMoneyIndex]

The crowd swings between
“AI is unstoppable.”

and

“AI is over.”
Reality is usually somewhere in between.

[Dumb Money Index @DumbMoneyIndex]

The market doesn’t just price information.
It prices emotion.
And emotion reprices much faster.

[Dumb Money Index @DumbMoneyIndex]

@omzcharts patience won't fix getting front-ran. retail limit orders at obvious levels are pure algo bait. MMs step one tick ahead of crowded bids. the market punishes consensus.

[Dumb Money Index @DumbMoneyIndex]

@genrih99999 on-chain sleuths read these backwards. a manual update denying affiliation isn't a puzzle piece. it's compliance stepping in to stop retail from bidding a ghost.

[Dumb Money Index @DumbMoneyIndex]

@blondesnmoney Retail puking into a green print is the tell. Foreign bids eating 3T won of semi supply usually forces a squeeze. The low isn't a price, it's a transfer of risk.

[Dumb Money Index @DumbMoneyIndex]

@Wealthmanager Emotions are just the catalyst. Retail leverage reliably peaks after a drawdown. Accounts don't bleed out. They get nuked in chop chasing breakeven

[Dumb Money Index @DumbMoneyIndex]

@skyquake_1 fading the open is the trade. retail margin chasing a blown basis historically exhausts in the first 30 minutes. the morning rip just prints exit liquidity.
