It’s getting out of control. Even before Jerome Powell incorrectly told a MarketWatch colleague that financial conditions hadn’t changed very much, all manner of risky assets have stormed higher.

The Great Unwashed have noticed. Near the end of January, retail market orders as a percent of market value reached 23% on Jan. 23, according to data from JPMorgan. To put that in perspective, it got to 22% a few times when GameStop GME first started surging in value and everyone was talking about Roaring Kitting and Reddit Wall Street Bets.
