Tune in to hear:

• Are investors primed for both fear and greed based on their experiences with crises such as the tech bubble, great financial crisis and Coronavirus?

• Some think we are about to enter into a “second Roaring Twenties.” What do Lindsey and Callie make of this thesis?

• Was the collectivist approach of Wallstreet Bets driven by a combination of loneliness and interconnectedness on the internet, or was it potentially just a fad?

• Are people really learning about markets and getting engaged about markets in a meaningful, discerning way on Wallstreet Bets?

• By most estimates, institutional money accounts for 70-75% of the volume in the markets. Are we overstating the impact of retail investors?

• What are the mechanics of a short squeeze?

• What are some of the potential use cases of options trading and what are some of the dangers associated with it?

• Whether we are in a bubble or not, prices are quite high across the board. How might we position ourselves for success in the next decade?
