You need to take back control of your happiness. Quit putting it in someone elseâs hands. Make up your mind that no matter what people do, no matter what they say, how they treat you, theyâre not going to steal your joy.

US memory chipmaker Micron became the fastest quoted company to go from a $500 billion valuation to join the $1 trillion valuation club.
It's a hot stock, no doubt. Is it overpriced?
Look at its forward P.E.; it's about 12, and the PEG ratio of 0.3 suggests it's undervalued relative to future growth.
This is a game of earnings and growth. As long as Micron keeps posting exceptional growth, its earnings multiples will continue to fall (which is good).
Let me give you a data point: Micron is operating at full capacity, and all its sales are sold out through 2026. Revenues of $24 billion were triple its year-on-year figure. As long as the AI chip-driven revolution continues, the numbers look promising.
The risk is what happens if AI falters. Growth slows, earnings fall, and it could lead to an epic bloodbath.
I read an article where investors in Korea said they would rather lose money in a crash than regret it the FOMO
What's your take? Are you buying, ignoring or selling?

Not investment advice
Be boring in the right ways. Go to bed early. Wake up early. Eat simple foods. Save money. Exercise. Read old books. Avoid drama. Boring is seriously underrated.
