The stock I most wanted to sell this week is... ELV. Why? Because every time I check my portfolio, it's like watching a slow-motion car crash set to dramatic violin music. I bought it full of hope and dreams—ELV was supposed to be my golden goose. Instead, it’s become the ghost of gains past. It’s been bleeding red like it’s auditioning for a horror movie, and I’ve been holding on like a toxic relationship, whispering, “Maybe it’ll change...” Spoiler: It hasn’t.
Chagee’s low IPO price and crazy growth make a first-day jump pretty likely—Mixue’s 43% pop shows the hype is real. But with U.S.-China tensions and shaky markets, it might not go wild. I’d bet on a solid start, but don’t hold your breath for a massive rally.
