The fried chicken short from hell.
One trader just lost $500K betting against drumsticks 🍗
A Reddit user named skilliard7 went all in on a short against Korean fried chicken companies, convinced that health trends and demographic decline would kill demand. He did his homework, made his case… and then fate served him extra crispy.
Out of nowhere, a viral photo hits the internet — the CEOs of Nvidia, Samsung, and Hyundai all sharing dinner at Khanbu Chicken. That single image sent the stocks flying +30%, instantly liquidating his short positions. Talk about death by meme 😭
It’s wild how narrative > logic in modern markets. You can study every macro factor, but sometimes all it takes is one picture of powerful people eating chicken to burn half a million dollars. C’est la bourse, mon ami — markets don’t care about your thesis.
