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? Web: www.ally.com Twitter: @justLBell & @callieabost Compliance Code: 0943-OAS-03/19/2021
