Shari Rash, Money Podcast for Women, Personal Finance, Relationships & Mental Health
About this episode

Unless you’ve been living under a rock the last few weeks, you know that something has been going on between Reddit, GameStop, investors like you and me, and the old hedge fund world. I called upon our resident investing expert, Michele Schneider from MarketGuage.com, to help us dissect just what happened and what you need to know as an investor going forward.

What You'll Learn

  • Why is this all such a big news story
  • How Reddit members were able to manipulate the stock price of GameStop
  • Who are the winners and losers in this battle
  • What exactly is selling short
  • Investing lessons you can take away and use in your investing practice
