When markets go viral but not for the right reasons
Social media doesn’t just spread memes. It spreads market moves. Some stocks go viral because of hype, influencers or trending hashtags, not because the company changed overnight.
This skill helps you decode social-driven trades and understand when the crowd creates opportunity or chaos. Because if you follow the hype without thinking, you’re not investing. You’re just playing catch-up.
You’ll learn:
- How influencers, trends and viral posts shift investor focus in ways companies cannot always control
- When social media buzz turns into actual market action and how to tell hype from real shifts
- How to recognize pump tactics early before you accidentally join the exit liquidity party
