In a Nutshell

Reddit was added to the S&P 500, triggering sustained index fund buying and an 11% gap-up after trading as low as 140-150. Despite 61% revenue growth and $2.7B annual revenue, the stock carries heavy risks: 95% of revenue from advertising, declining daily users, Google AI traffic impact, and volatile post-earnings moves. The speaker warns that at current overbought levels, shorting speculative names like Palantir, SpaceX, Micron, and Coreweave requires tight risk management and small position sizing rather than predicting exact tops.
