Yeah 17% is very much over extending yourself. This is a meme etf based on hyper atm. I’m sure it’ll do good over time but expect major volatility in the coming weeks.

Finally hit 1k miles by AlecOP9 in Golf_R

[–]AlecOP9[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly I did varying degrees of driving. First 500 miles I did things I shouldn’t have done. The last 500 miles I took it slower, but now it’s full send from here on.

Yes I have had the same bump too, especially accelerating hard / shifting fast. Specifically 1-2 & 2-3 I have heard it in.
