                COVID-19 has flipped the script on engagement, too. We are universally stuck at home, quarantined, in the cold. This should mean the biggest year yet for Super Bowl eyeballs and engagement.

                  Trading flows are more important than fundamentals:

                  Options trading is an “affordable” way to move markets:
                 </strong>
                 Options are the right (but not the obligation) to purchase a stock at a certain price. What this means is that someone can bet on a stock for less than they would if they bought it outright.
                 <br/>
                 <br/>
                 Despite a lower upfront cash outlay, options can still move the market because the financial institutions selling the options have to hedge their position by buying up the underlying stock.

                  Short-sellers are the target:
                 </strong>
                 In Before Times, hedge funds used to write up long reports and make big splashy announcements for why they were shorting a stock. Now, if a hedge fund reveals a short position, it can become a target of the r/WallStreetBets crowd.
