Once again, market crash warnings by Billionaires and investors crowded the news. Charlie Munger, Buffett’s right hand, was one of them who complained about not finding any good bargains in the market anymore.


Short Squeeze

So, what happened?

Shares of GameStop (Ticker: GME) also popped more than 58%. This one, however, was due to the so-called short squeeze. When a stock is heavily shorted, and many are betting on the stock’s price drop, a small upward movement forces everyone who shorted the stock to buy the company’s shares to pay for the bet they have made against the stock. Trading had to stop at some point during the day to prevent And if you look at GameStop’s Stock Card, click on the sentiment indicator, you can see how heavily the stock was shorted, and it becomes apparent why the stock jumped so much.

Changing Minds

So what happened?

Shares of Intel (Ticker: INTC) dropped more than 9%. A few weeks ago, everybody was excited about the new CEO. Today, the company announced its latest quarterly earnings. The earning report was quite impressive, surpassing expectations. However, the incoming CEO told investors that he would wantIntel to double-down on building its own chips. Investors didn’t like the direction because the company has fallen behind its more nimble competitors such as AMD (Ticker: AMD), and it seems they changed their minds about Intel, at least for now.


Is an 8% Interest Rate Possible?

So what happened?

Recently we have been researching the cryptocurrency market and came across a company called BlockFi. This is a cryptocurrency platform that allows you to buy and store your bitcoin and other well-known cryptocurrencies. You can also store your U.S. dollars there. The interesting thing about it is that the company pays more than 8% per year if you keep your cryptocurrencies on their platform.

The implication is that you can put your money there and easily match the historical return of the S&P 500. Of course, you always run the risk of losing value because cryptocurrencies are quite volatile. Nevertheless, more than 8% interest rate is almost unheard of.

Remember, we are not endorsing BlockFi. This is purely research into the emerging cryptocurrency industry and something to pay attention to and understand.
