Facebook chief Mark Zuckerberg on Thursday announced the parent company's name is being changed to "Meta" $Meta Platforms (FB.US)$ to represent a future beyond just its troubled social network.
The new handle comes as the social media giant tries to fend off one its worst crises yet and pivot to its ambitions for the "metaverse" virtual reality version of the internet that the tech giant sees as the future.
Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp will keep their names under the rebranding.
a dude from reddit:
The year is 2043. My kids are waking up for school. They eat breakfast and then say “bye dad I’m going to school” as they put their headsets on and enter the Metaverse. They load up their  avatars and go sit on the couch and virtually walk to class. They look around class and have a T-Rex to your right and a Ugandan knuckles on your left. Ugandan knuckles avatar cost $7000 as an NFT.

A short squeeze can occur when a heavily shorted stock rises in value instead of falling. Short sellers could be looking to close out their position and can face a loss if they have to buy back the shares they initially borrowed at a higher price.

@moom lives:  Just be happy
To play stocks, you must first have a good attitude, don't panic when you fall, you must have your own opinions when buying stocks! Don't listen to wind or rain! Like me! Last year I voted 150,000, listen to this and listen to that, and finally lost 50,000! Later, after my own exploration and study, I have my own ideas and strategies! Finally lost the remaining 100,000.
2. TSLA - Buzzing Stars: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
With Elon Musk becoming the first person to be worth more than $300 billion, TSLA stock crossed $1 trillion in market capitalization boosted by interest from investors and encouraging EV policies from Washington.

3. DWAC - Buzzing Stars:⭐⭐⭐⭐

@Appley: $Remark Holdings (MARK.US)$Hi all
I’m also losing a big chuck from this stock. But I think we just have to bite through and be patient. If price dropped further it will be a good chance to buy in somemore to average out to a lower cost. Personally I think this stock will bounce back but when no one knows… We need to follow up the news on DWAC and PHUN as well as Donald Trump.
5. AMC - Buzzing Stars:⭐⭐⭐
Shares of AMC lost 3.36% last week and finally closed at $35.370. The stock gained 1.35% last Thursday as IMAX reported its earnings and saw a 52% year-over-year rise in quarterly revenues.

● Mooers comment
@Caleb Utt: $Biora Therapeutics (PROG.US)$  If you buy a stock and the moment it turns red you're posting "WHAT DO I DO???????", you have no business on the stock market. The fact you don't understand the most basic ebb and flow which is price fluctuation up AND down and think it's always supposed to be green if you "made the right buy", demonstrates you not only did 0 research on the market but lack basic knowledge that may have been an elective class at school growing up.

Big things happened in the market this week. Some investors got rich because of TSLA, PHUN, and DWAC. Some mooers didn't aware and missed out on the carnival. Seeing rockets fly away right in front of you is much more painful than losing money right?
If you didn't get rich this week, at least you can see things from a different angle. Seeing them get the opposite of rich may bring you some joy.
@Orlagh: $AMC Entertainment (AMC.US)$
@BadPaint: Another mans trash.... $Phunware (PHUN.US)$
@ProTraderMark: $Phunware (PHUN.US)$ When retail banded together, we literally saved  $AMC Entertainment (AMC.US)$ from bankruptcy (*and it held the squeeze more or less), now we a company, moving towards decentralized data, an engaged COO/CEO,  a ridiculous entry point, and heavily shorted by Citadel. Retail needs a NEW HOBBY, and  $Phunware (PHUN.US)$ is going to be that hobby.
PHUN PT this week $60+, LFG!!!
@Sikwitit: $AMC Entertainment (AMC.US)$ who else buying these discounts?
@deluxe bean: STILL HOLDING!!  BUT........ $AMC Entertainment (AMC.US)$
