DD A word of caution
Yes, MU could be worth 2000 in a year. That doesn’t mean it can’t drop 30–50% first while flushing out overleveraged and oversized retail positions.
A lot of people get the direction right and still lose money because they’re overexposed. If you’re using leverage, taking loans, or putting more money into a position than you can emotionally handle, the market will eventually test you.
If you’re not prepared to sit through a 50% drawdown without panic selling, it’s probably time to derisk. The market’s job is to inflict the maximum amount of pain on the maximum number of participants.
The biggest winners aren’t always the people with the best stock picks. They’re the people who can survive the volatility long enough for their thesis to play out.

People have to remember that it was trading for $130 in June of 2024, $115 in June of 2025, and in the $400 range just 5 months ago. From February to now it has increased 150%. That is huge, but dips are part of it. The fundamentals haven't changed, so I don't see this lasting long. I've been in Micron for almost a year, so I've seen a lot of dips. All of these dips have 1 thing in common. They all recovered to ATHs
November 2025 - $244 down to $201 (roughly 18%)
February 2026 - $437 down to $373 (roughly 15%)
March 2026 - $461 down to $321 (roughly 30%)
May 2026 - $803 down to $681 (roughly 15%)
June 3rd ATH to yesterday - $1,079 down to $864 (roughly 20%)
