This year, forget politics at your Thanksgiving dinner. Talk about markets.
Think about the events of this year, starting with an army of retail traders causing GameStop shares to spike, to cute Japanese puppies becoming the mascots for acryptocurrencies revolution, and ending with a bunch of internet friends trying to buy the US Constitution.
There were 10 possible ideas to get the conversation going on Thanksgiving.
What's your favorite stock?
The first big market event of the year was when an army of retail traders used the internet to drive up the prices of cheap stocks. The buying of meme stocks was stopped by the trading app, causing an uproar from traders, a Congressional hearing and a regulatory report. The meme-stock phenomenon has continued throughout the year, with new companies constantly added to the basket. AMC is still their favorite. The CEO is a hit with retail traders.
Do you want to see my NFT?
The market as a whole is worth billions of dollars, thanks to the surge in popularity of non-fungible token. The pieces of art tied to the token are called digital pieces of art. They're worth anything from a few dollars to millions of dollars. If you're a fan ofcryptocurrencies, you might bring your cube to Thanksgiving dinner. The cubes are small and have a surprising density.

I've been thinking about buying a shiba inu. I already have the puppy.
The price of meme coins like dogecoin and shiba inu coin has gone up this year, along with demand for the Japanese hunting dogs. The shiba inu, the mascot of the cryptocurrencies, has gained the attention of the retail investing crowd. Floki, a shiba inu-based coin, is a reference to Musk's new Japanese pup. The cryptocurrencies and the dogs can be volatile, so be careful if you want to buy in.
How is your home improvement project going?
The 30-year high in inflation is due to a number of factors, including shortages, supply chain bottlenecks, and government checks. First-time buyers joined the housing market and current homeowners made updates as the price of lumber, along with a lot of other costs, surged this year. lumber prices have fallen from highs earlier in the year.
I ordered my PS5 a long time ago. I'm stuck with what I have after one wrong turn in the canal.
In March, the Ever Given cargo ship became lodged in the pivotal waterway, prompting meme and adding to supply chain problems. A fleet of tugboats and a dredger freed the vessel after a week of blocking the canal.
Have you seen my Facebook posts recently?
Facebook is not the same as before. In October, it changed its name to Meta as it prepares to move into virtual reality and the future of the internet. The concept of the metaverse has become mainstream.

Let's talk about voting. Did you cast your vote on Musk's poll to sell his shares?
Musk asked if he should sell 10% of his stake in the company. He's so far offloaded about $9 billion worth of shares. This year, the posts about digital assets like dogecoin and ethereum by the chief of the electric car company have helped drive broad rallies in the market. He's now the wealthiest man in the world because his company has joined the $1 trillion club.
What did you think about Squid Game?
The hit show inspired a coin that soared in value in a matter of days. It was a scam. The owners took their profits.
How much did you make off Trump?
SPACs were once a little known way for companies to go public, but they became wildly popular during the Pandemic. Trump Media & Technology Group was taken public by Digital World Acquisition Corp. DWAC shares quickly became a meme and went up in value.
Can someone explain to me what a DAO is?
It is a group of internet friends getting together to accomplish a goal. The album was once owned by Martin Shkreli. The other tried to buy the Constitution but was outbid by Ken. One is trying to buy an NBA team.
