HYPE ETFs Soar: Balchunas Calls Timing ‘Perfect’-Or Just Lucky?

Bloomberg’s Eric Balchunas, a man whose job is to sound wise while sipping lukewarm coffee, declared the launch “perfectly timed.” A bold claim, considering the rest of the financial world has been slouching toward the tavern like a drunkard with a limp.
