But instead of capitalizing on her sudden stardom, Waldman didn’t publish another novel for more than a decade. “To my surprise, I just didn’t have another idea,” she told me over lunch near her house in the Hudson Valley town of Rhinebeck.

My point is this: The crypto con and the Robinhood dollar conflagration can't produce enough money to buoy stocks.
