Why the market is reclassifying RIME, not just trading it
RIME’s recent move makes more sense when you treat it as a reclassification event. For a long time, the ticker was mentally filed under "legacy junk" and ignored. Once that mental label breaks, price can move fast because the market isn’t updating a price target, it’s updating a category. The …
