Small caps used to be one of those overlooked corners—seriously underweight across the board. We've been calling this out for a while now.

Now? Everything flipped. They've swung all the way to the other extreme. That pivot from neglected to overheated territory is exactly what makes me nervous.

When positioning shifts this drastically—especially in smaller cap names—that's usually the moment to pump the brakes and reassess. Worth keeping an eye on.

This reversal is so fierce. Small caps went from being forgotten to being heavily pumped, with no buffer zone in between. Small caps are safer the less noticeable they are. Now that everyone on the internet is digging into them, it's time to step back.

From obscure to overheated, this rebound in small-cap stocks is really fierce, feeling a bit timid.

Small-cap stocks have gone from being neglected to exploding in popularity, which is indeed a bit outrageous. It's the pendulum effect, brother, always playing like this. Small caps are really showing some warning signs now, be careful. From bottom to top so quickly? I need to reduce my holdings. That's why I hate the herd mentality, always overcorrecting. Small caps have surged too much, time to take profits. Suddenly everyone is focusing on small caps, what does that mean... Be cautious, history always repeats itself.

Small caps go from the cold palace to a fever, this reversal speed is a bit frightening. --- Is it that same pattern again? The old trick of buying the dip and then dumping. --- Wait, now that everyone is all-in on small caps, they really haven't figured it out yet? --- Positioning swings so wildly... it's not far from harvesting the chives. --- Honestly, going from zero attention to full position is the most dangerous signal. --- The hype around small caps this time... feels like it's time to run. --- It's always like this, tired of the roller coaster ride.

Small cryptocurrencies went from being ignored to overheating directly; such a 180-degree reversal really warrants caution.

Small-cap stocks went from being ignored to everyone wanting to jump on board. The contrast is just too huge. Wait, could this be another round of cutting leeks? From extreme to extreme, is there no one stabilizing in the middle? Honestly, I'm a bit anxious. Such sudden turns usually aren't good news.

Small-cap stocks have gone from the cold palace to overheating in this wave; the pace is indeed a bit frightening. From being ignored to being fiercely sought after, the reversal is too quick... Such extreme swings are the easiest to get caught in. A drastic change in position requires slowing down; really need to be cautious. Small caps are too hot right now; be careful of becoming the bag holder. Everyone is chasing the trend, but this is the most dangerous time.
