“Meme stocks” like AMC and GameStop have captured the attention of the financial world.
But few understand what is actually driving these furious price rallies.
THREAD: The mechanics of a meme stock rally:
1/ First off, what is a meme stock?
There is no single definition, but meme stocks can be understood as stocks that experience rapid upward price movements as a result of collective social media evangelism.
The price movements are typically not related to business fundamentals.
2/ AMC and GameStop are the two most salient examples of meme stocks from recent memory.
Both experienced furious, Reddit-fueled rallies that left the financial establishment scratching their heads.
Heroes emerged, like fearless leader @TheRoaringKitty (who is not a cat!).
Steve Jobs delivered the commencement speech at Stanford University on June 12, 2005.
16 years later, its wisdom remains.
THREAD: Lessons from Steve Jobs (on careers, startups, and life):
Develop Independent Views
To carve your own path - in your career or life - you have to develop your own views.
Steve Jobs originally went to college because it was what he was supposed to do after graduating high school.
He dropped out when he couldn’t see the value in it…
“I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life and no idea how college was going to help me figure it out. So I decided to drop out...it was one of the best decisions I ever made."
Don't chart your course based on someone else's map for your life.
“Patience is a competitive advantage. In a surprising number of fields, you can find success if you are simply willing to do the reasonable thing longer than most people.”
