Some investors will have had a big reality check from the plunge in meme stocks, cryptocurrencies and NFTs in recent months. More than 10,000 Kiwis poured their money into the likes of GameStop and AMC Entertainment in 2021 as their share prices soared to new highs. But the shares have fallen a long way in recent months and markets around the world have plunged with cryptocurrencies and NFTs falling even further than mainstream sharemarkets. On this week's episode, Tamsyn Parker is joined by Kristen Lunman, chief executive of investment platform Hatch, to discuss what draws peoples to these investments, and what it will teach them about the markets. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
