Are normies ready to become exit liquidity yet?

=== SUMMARY === - The author asks whether widespread normie interest in "second income" and "AI super cycle" signals a market top, using the classic shoeshine-boy indicator. - Thesis: When co-workers, taxi drivers, and teachers start talking about easy money in AI, it may be time to sell. - Quality assessment: Noise / anecdotal speculation — no data, no positions, just a rhetorical question. === SENTIMENT === MIXED === TRADE IDEAS === No actionable trade ideas in this post. === COMMENTS SUMMARY === Top comments largely disagree that we've reached peak euphoria. One user likens it to 1996–1998 dot-com bubble (early innings), while another notes normies are still focused on student loans and housing, not 50x AI microcaps. Several commenters dismiss the indicator as overused and not predictive. Overall, the community leans that the mania is not yet at top-ticking levels.
