You can try to ride the coat tails, but I agree, gambling. The market hasn't been rational for 10+ years. Certainly not rational with AI. I'm staying on the sidelines.
 
Compare prices this week with those from last week. Cat food up 9% at Walmart. Pre-tariff stockpiles running low and manufacturers tired of absorbing the cost may be taking effect.
