Finally have the recording from my chat with #Public Invest and #GeneralAssembly about #MemeStock and going beyond the laughs to leverage investing!

The chat lasted for a little less than an hour + captured the following —

“More tea -- #IPOs, #ETFs, #SPACs. Investing concepts have entered the mainstream in unprecedented ways. Google Searches for "how to #invest" spiked to all-time highs in early 2021, and #retailinvestor activity nearly doubled year over year between 2020 and 2021. With so many headlines about what's happening in the markets, this session will serve as an overview of the state of retail investing today. To what can we attribute its rise in popularity, and what's different about investing in the stock market today vs. what you might have learned in high school #economics class?

Takeaways

• Differences in investment styles: short-term trading vs. long-term investing, and how to think about those in the context of your own financial goals

• Breakdown of key concepts like IPOs, ETFs, and SPACs: what they mean, and why they're getting so much attention

• How modern retail investors are educating themselves about the market in new ways, using social media apps like Public.com!

Public Invest merges a Social Media approach with investing. You get to hear about companies and funds that we are investing in or watching! I use a few platforms to give you all the real, but I find Public a great place to invest no matter the level of knowledge you have. You can get a free slice of stock ( I mean, who doesn’t love free) by clicking this link!

Thank you to those who registered to watch Live or caught the replay! Gratitude.

Let me know what questions you have about the investment chat and I will give more context in upcoming content (here or on IG)!
