Why would I take financial advice from a wet bush?

If the criminals at Wedbush say to sell then I'm buying hand over fist.

You know what’s irrational? All of the blatant market manipulation surrounding “MEME” stocks. The illegal naked short selling, failure to delivers, and tokenized shares artificially lowering stock prices. The SEC, OTTC, and DON not doing their jobs. That’s irrational!
