  • Irrational Exuberance and the Gamestop Short Squeeze
    Irrational Exuberance and the GameStop Short Squeeze | Dr. Alan Greenspan, Senior Economic Advisor | February 2021 The meteoric rise in the stock price of GameStop seems to have brought up the question of irrational exuberance in the markets. Irrational exuberance is a state of investor psychology, when the pendulum between fear and euphoria has swung too far towards the latter. In other words, stock prices are the aggregation of the myriad expectations held by market participants and can at times reflect what seems an unjustifiably optimistic view of future economic conditions. Though prices may appear excessive during periods of irrational exuberance (i.e., priced for perfection) they are nonetheless rooted in some concrete view of an uncertain future that can be articulated in terms of expectations of future cash flows, interest rates, etc. While the first leg of the GameStop rally can be In 1869, when Jay Gould (an American railroad attributed to pockets of irrational exuberance, the magnate, financial speculator, and one of the latter part of its parabolic rise is almost certainly Robber barons of the Gilded Age) sought to more a case of market structure rather than drive up the price of gold, he turned to the basic investor psychology. In this view, the latter part of economic principle of limiting the supply.

  • Cecilia Diaz Critical/Cultural Methods Dr. Bob Bednar 4/8//21
    Cecilia Diaz Critical/Cultural Methods Dr. Bob Bednar 4/8//21 Research Project Draft Protests in the name of social reform have recently undergone drastic transformations in how they are founded and manifested. The ascension of social media use in the early 2000s gave rise to streamlined instant communication between people that otherwise may have never communicated organically. History has proven that we gather together in times of hardship and join forces when those hardships necessitate change and reform. The internet eliminates the practical issue of distance and facilitates the possibility of an infinite number of formed communities. In the case of protest, it facilitates the ability to organize and gather to demand social and political change. Sebastián Valenzuela suggests that one explanation for use of social networks and political protest may be online expression as a foundation for action. It is stated, “In addition to cognitive preparation, the expression of opinions can be facilitators of political protest” (Valenzuela, 2014). Research has shown that when individuals talk about political subjects publicly, they are more likely to mobilize and engage in political activities. The expression “allows people to face their ideas, make arguments, and reflect on the information obtained” (Schmitt-Beck, 2008). Platforms like Twitter and Facebook have acted as multiplexes for the expression of political views and serve as the foundation for many modern protests such as the Black Lives Matter movement, #MeToo, Arab Spring, and the Sunflower Student Movement. The protest this study will focus on is unique in that it was not founded as a politically driven protest but became one, or perhaps more accurately, was received as one as it gained popularity in mainstream media publics.

  • Should You Take Investment Advice from Wallstreetbets?
    Should You Take Investment Advice From WallStreetBets? Should You Take Investment Advice From WallStreetBets? A Data­Driven Approach May 2021 Tolga Buz Gerard de Melo Hasso Plattner Institute, Potsdam Hasso Plattner Institute, Potsdam [email protected] [email protected] Abstract Reddit’s WallStreetBets (WSB) community has come to prominence in light of its notable role in affecting the stock prices of what are now referred to as meme stocks. Yet very little is known about the reliability of the highly speculative investment advice disseminated on WSB. This paper analyses WSB data spanning from January 2019 to April 2021 in order to assess how successful an investment strategy relying on the community’s recommenda­ tions could have been. We detect buy and sell advice and identify the community’s most popular stocks, based on which we define a WSB portfolio. Our evaluation shows that this portfolio has grown approx. 200% over the last three years and approx. 480% over the last year, significantly outperforming the S&P500. The average short­term accuracy of buy and sell signals, in contrast, is not found to be significantly better than randomly or equally distributed buy decisions within the same time frame. However, we present a tech­ nique for estimating whether posts are proactive as opposed to reactive and show that by focusing on a subset of more promising buy signals, a trader could have made investments yielding higher returns than the broader market or the strategy of trusting all posted buy signals. Lastly, the analysis is also conducted specifically for the period before 2021 in or­ der to factor out the effects of the GameStop hype of January 2021 – the results confirm the conclusions and suggest that the 2021 hype merely amplified pre­existing characteristics.

  • "Short Squeezes and Market Hype: What You Need to Know"
    Short Squeezes and Market Hype: What You Need to Know February 2021 Events that sparked market volatility at the end of January continue to make headlines as everyone loves a David vs Goliath story. The clash between the Hedge Fund professionals and a swarm of retail investors that forced the shares of several companies, most notably GameStop, screaming higher has caught a lot of attention, even beyond the usual financial media outlets. Much has been written about the now-infamous short squeeze, and stories are popping up detailing the fortunes won and lost. The dust is starting to settle, and we thought it would be beneficial to explain some of the key topics in simpler terms to help unfamiliar investors better understand what happened in markets and what they should be mindful of going forward. The Retail Army & GameStop Investors might argue at length about a reasonable fair valuation for a company such as GameStop. As of year-end 2020, the company was valued at around $1.3 billion. A few individuals interested in the business began posting about the company as an attractive investment idea on online forums, thinking the company was undervalued and should be priced higher. Other’s noted the high short interest in the company and chatter began to develop focusing on the short squeeze opportunity. As the momentum of the idea caught on retail investors ganged together to force a short squeeze, enticed by the opportunity to make a quick gain trading the company’s stock. As the excitement grew and more and more investors jumped aboard, the idea worked, and the company’s value surged to over $24 billion.

We find average ‘buy’ recommendations result in two-day announcement returns of 1.1%. Further, the returns drift upwards by 2% over the subsequent month and nearly 5% over the subsequent quarter. Retail trading increases sharply in the intraday window following publication, and retail investors are more likely to be net buyers following reports that earn larger returns. Thus, in sharp contrast to regulators concerns that WSB investment advice is harming retail traders, our findings suggest that both WSB posters and users are skilled.
