5: Meme Stock - How your teenager may have learned a thing or two about the stock market!

Decoding Culture

From the Parenting Stuff Podcast, this is Decoding Culture, where we want to give people that care for teenagers the tools to have conversations and ask questions about the technology, social media, internet trends, movies, music, video games, pop culture, and other things that are a part of the life of your teenager so that you can better care for them.

On this episode, Chris and Sam talk about how investors on the chatroom website, Reddit, united their power to take down a hedge fund. We’ll talk about how these retail investors were able to upset the market in a big way, the stocks they decided to trade, why your teenager might know about this situation, and (as always) go over some questions you can use to begin a conversation with your teenager about this event.

Stay connected with us on social media through the Parenting Stuff Podcast, and if you want us to talk about something on Decoding Culture, send us an email at decodingculture@gmail.com.
