It’s been a week. I got quoted in Bloomberg again for some reason, talking about meme stocks again. As I discussed in my previous post, the art of prediction is a dangerous game. It’s quite easy to fall prey to biases, especially given the natural optimism of humans and desire…

It’s been a while since my last post, mainly due to real life factors like well, the end of the quarter of my Ph.D. program fast approaching. I’ve been extremely lucky to be on some fantastic podcasts to muse about life, the universe and everything, and ended up in some…

One of my favorite comments when I started first appearing in media around the dawn of the Gamestop saga (ages ago in internet time, last month in reality) was along the lines of “I honestly didn’t believe you were a real person, I thought your photo was generated from https://thispersondoesnotexist.com/”…

I’ve taken the self-imposed position of playing financial reporter through the whole charade, including being one of the first to break the news that Robinhood (and, as we found out later, other brokers) was de facto manipulating…

Unlike most of my posts, this will veer largely into philosophy and maybe some poorly interpreted behavioral economics. As I have a computer science and business background, this of course qualifies me as a subject expert on both of those topics. As I’ve mentioned before, I’m fairly new at trading…

Check out my twitter for more musings on the market: https://twitter.com/nope_its_lily. Also, posted originally on reddit at r/thecorporation. I of course, got a nice Twitter hug for Part 1. To clarify — I do think shorts are being squeezed in Gamestop, although this is auxiliary to the main driver of…
