One other interesting thing on this episode, we had to lead in with a legal disclaimer about investments. While we talk about investments on our episode, we are not a podcast to look to for financial advice (there&#8217;s honestly many out there if you&#8217;re interested though) &#8211; so please take everything we discuss as just educational and entertainment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tim ran us through what&#8217;s going on in the world of investing, and what it&#8217;s like to be a CIO, and most importantly for many of us &#8211; he shares with us his thoughts and observations about what is going on with GameStop and what does it mean for the average person!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There really was a lot to go through in this episode, as Tim also touches a little on cryptocurrency, something we haven&#8217;t talked about on this podcast yet, but we&#8217;ll breach that topic with our next episode (part two). For many of us, what&#8217;s been going on with WallStreetBets and GameStop though, it can be almost a little overwhelming, hearing about shorts, options, puts, calls, and Tim does a solid job on trying to help demystify what those are, and how this all relates to the average investor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We also talk about what the impact all of this had, and whether what was done by RobinHood with limiting buys was justified or was some type of intentional manipulation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While I think all of you loyal readers are aware, we typically are recording these several weeks in advance now (to help make my life easier!), but it&#8217;s interesting that we&#8217;re still seeing the topic of GameStop very strong today, and there&#8217;s a lot of different sides and opinions on this, but wherever folks stand, there is much more permanence associated to this movement than I think most were thinking back in January of this year. It&#8217;ll be interesting to see where this ends up ultimately, and whether or not it does go down into the history books, so time will tell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This episode I also had fun busting out a &#8220;Next time on Between Two Studds&#8221; outro, which some have commented on already.  I had fun doing this, and it&#8217;s weird what some pick up in listens (or don&#8217;t), but as I think you&#8217;re all aware at this point, feel free to hit us up sometime with some fanmail or just drop us a comment as we check them out and appreciate it! And who knows, maybe you&#8217;ll be featured on the next episode! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Be sure to check out this episode, and be on the lookout for part two next week!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>March 24th, 2021 &#8211; This week&#8217;s episode gave us a lot to talk about, and honestly, there was so much to it, that we had to split it up and [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[24],"tags":[15,8,17,16],"class_list":["post-59","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-episode","tag-gamestop","tag-investing","tag-shorting","tag-wallstreetbets"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/twostudds.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/twostudds.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/twostudds.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/twostudds.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/twostudds.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=59"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/twostudds.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":68,"href":"https:\/\/twostudds.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59\/revisions\/68"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/twostudds.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=59"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/twostudds.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=59"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/twostudds.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=59"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
