Why the Opendoor Stock Surge is a Red Flag for Investors: Meme Stocks and Market Euphoria
The S&P 500 Index ($SPX) may be hovering near all-time highs, but something underneath the surface is setting off alarm bells. In a recent Market on Close segment, hosts John Rowland and 'Twitter Tom' pointed to a dangerous market condition we haven't seen in a while: full-blown euphoria.

Can Cost Cuts Save the Day? Stop Missing Market Moves: Get the FREE Barchart Brief – your midday dose of stock movers, trending sectors, and actionable trade ideas, delivered right to your inbox. Sign Up Now! It's 2021 vibes all over again, as we're seeing massive options flow into stocks like Opendoor (OPEN) — even outpacing names like Apple (AAPL) and Amazon (AMZN). That doesn't happen in a rational market. And the data backs it up. Signs of a Speculative Surge Meme stocks are leading the volume charts, as Opendoor, Kohl's (KSS), and more companies with weak fundamentals are seeing massive inflows. Options activity is exploding, especially short-dated calls, a hallmark of retail speculation. Margin debt is spiking at a pace not seen since 1998 — often a late-cycle indicator. The Barclays Euphoria meter just hit a yearly high. And Citi's Levkovich Index is also sitting in 'euphoria' territory. Watch the clip for a look at the indicators John & Tom are tracking now: Why That's a Problem Historically, this kind of extreme in investor sentiment tends to mark tops, not bottoms. We saw the same pattern: Late 2021: Meme stocks exploded before a sharp market correction. 2007: Real estate stocks soared as debt-fueled speculation peaked. 1999-2000: Dot-com mania drove euphoria until the bubble burst. Today's market isn't just strong; it's downright frothy. And with August and September historically two of the worst-performing months for the S&P, it might be time for traders to take a breath and reassess risk.

I've been hooked on alcohol, cocaine and bad men. But this is the vice afflicting millions that I found the hardest to give up - and how I finally did it: BRYONY GORDON
I think about it all the time. At least once an hour, often two or three times. I think about the feel of it in my hands, the sensation of it in my mouth, the euphoric effects it has on my body, the type that are so blissful they have always left me craving more. Sometimes, I will be grappling with the stress of a day and I will want to cry out for it right then and there, slap bang in the middle of the street.

Drake Topless Selfie Fuels Fake Abs Speculation
If you've kept up with Drake over the years, you might be aware of a long-running rumor that he underwent cosmetic surgery to get a 6-pack. In 2019, Drake hit back at a comment from DJ Carnage — with whom he was close friends — that mentioned his alleged plastic surgery. Carnage wrote, 'You got fake ab surgery in Colombia. You ain't fooling anybody,' to which Drake replied, 'Is this cause you are angry about the one thing that happened with that one person the other day that you thought was your wifey?' Fast forward to just last year, and the speculation around Drake's abs reached new heights after Kendrick Lamar released a very pointed lyric on his scathing track 'euphoria' amid their memorable feud. He rapped, 'Let your core audience stomach that, then tell 'em where you get your abs from.' Fellow artist Megan Thee Stallion also appeared to fuel the speculation on her 2024 track 'HISS.' She rapped, 'All these lil' rap n*ggas so fraud … These n*ggas hate on BBLs and be walkin' 'round with the same scars,' which some fans interpreted as a diss towards Drake, who rapped in 2022: 'This bitch lie 'bout gettin' shots, but she still a stallion.' Several people guessed that Drake was accusing Megan of lying about being shot by Tory Lanez, which you can read more about here, though some questioned if he was also accusing her of lying about getting cosmetic injections. It's worth highlighting that amid all the rumors, there is no proof that Drake has undergone cosmetic surgery. But with that in mind, a recent shirtless selfie from the rapper has fueled speculation that his abs are 'fake.' On Sunday, Drake shared this selfie as part of an Instagram carousel: And the comments didn't hold back. 'Ordered abs from temu n forgot to add shoulders n tri lol,' read one comment with over 18,000 likes. Another said, 'No shoulders, no biceps, deflated chest but extremely defined abs lmao.' Meanwhile, users of Reddit were equally perplexed. 'The level of definition in his abs makes absolutely no sense with the rest of his body,' one person wrote. Another quipped, 'It's giving 'novelty apron.'' Well then! Let me know what you think down below.

Euphoria drops first-look image of Season 3 as filming kicks off
HBO has shared a sneak peek image to confirm the news about the return of Euphoria Season 3. The teen drama recently began filming after facing long delays due to several factors, including the Hollywood strikes, busy schedules of the cast and creator Sam Levinson's work on other series. After a 'deeply emotional' second season, as described by Zendaya, a first-look image from the upcoming continuation has been shared on Instagram. The post features Zendaya as the main character Rue Bennett. Ver esta publicación en Instagram Una publicación compartida de euphoria (@euphoria) The show will keep the majority of the core cast of famous faces, including Sydney Sweeney as Cassie, Jacob Elordi as Nate, Hunter Schafer as Jules and Alexa Demie as Maddy. Unfortunately, Storm Reid's character, Gia – Rue's younger sister- won't be joining the series this time, and neither will Barbie Ferreira's character Kat. Regarding the plot, the new season will feature a time jump, with the teenage characters that fans have come to love no longer attending high school. This new approach is one of the reasons why creator Levinson was still 'working on it', as Case Bloys, content boss for HBO and Max, said in an interview with Variety. 'There's been a lot of back and forth… One of the issues I think that Sam is thinking about is that he doesn't want to have it in high school anymore. That's where it was set and what made sense then. So when you take it out of that, there's a lot of back and forth about where to set it and how far in the future to set it and all that stuff,' he added. HBO has not announced a premiere date for Euphoria Season 3 yet. Nevertheless, despite speculation over whether the third season was ever going to happen given the deep differences in creative visions, rumours of Zendaya's frosty relationship with Levinson, and even the supposed possibility of removing Levinson from the production, the cameras seem to have started rolling. No further details have been unveiled, with HBO keeping Euphoria's fans on the edge of their seats, waiting for the latest news to ensure they don't miss a thing.
