Short, answer-first guides to the ideas behind the leaderboard — Buzz Scores, meme stocks, short squeezes, and how attention moves markets.
What is a Buzz Score?
A 0–100 measure of how much attention a stock is getting online right now — combining mention volume with how fast that volume is growing.
What is a short squeeze?
When a heavily-shorted stock starts rising, short sellers are forced to buy back shares — which pushes the price up even more, in a self-reinforcing loop.
What is a meme stock?
A stock whose price is driven less by fundamentals and more by viral attention from retail investors on social media.
How to find trending stocks
A practical guide to spotting which tickers are heating up — using attention data, news flow, and unusual options activity.
Can social media predict stock prices?
The research is more nuanced than the headlines. Attention reliably predicts volatility — direction is much harder.
What is a gamma squeeze?
When call-option buying forces dealers to keep buying the underlying stock to stay hedged — accelerating the move they were trying to neutralize.
What actually moves stock prices?
Earnings, rates, sentiment, flows, and surprise. A short field guide to the forces behind every price chart.
How to read a stock chart
Price, volume, moving averages, and the handful of patterns worth knowing. A no-nonsense primer.

Four times a year, every public company reports its scorecard. Here's what to actually watch — and why the stock move often surprises you.
What is the VIX?
Wall Street's "fear gauge" — a single number that measures how much volatility traders expect over the next 30 days. Here's what it actually tells you.
