Featured Article: 2021 saw the rise of the "meme stock" - "A meme stock refers to the shares of a company that have gained a cult-like following online and through social media platforms. These online communities can go on to build hype around a stock through narratives and conversations elaborated in discussion threads on websites like Reddit and posts to followers on platforms like Twitter and Facebook." (Investopedia) These "meme stocks" are primarily struggling companies (ie: GameStop, Blackberry, AMC). This has created never before seen stock market volatility. Inexperienced investors flooded the market and while some were able to strike gold, others lost thousands. The U.S. SEC has proposed a rule change that requires short sellers to increase their disclosures in efforts to protect middle class investors.
