A lot of Redditors hate the Reddit IPO | Reddit warned us that its users were a risk factor, and boy do they sound excited about shorting its stock.::Reddit seems like a likely candidate for a meme stock. But the actual reaction suggests that r/WallStreetBets isn’t going to send the stock to the moon.
In my opinion you are describing gambling not investing.
So people shouldn’t get into low-stakes investment for some reason? Do you think that most poeple in the US have the money to do higher-level investment?
Low risk, not low stakes. Choose index trackers, not individual stocks.
