Modi, Meloni and Markets!

Okay so Modi just landed in Rome and gifted Meloni a packet of Melody toffees and Meloni posted a video saying “a very very good toffee — Melody”

#Melodi is all over twitter right now and this (obviously) had to affect the stock market (don’t worry, in a good way)

Retail investors and traders on Dalal Street reacted to the resulting “social media frenzy” and nostalgic discussions surrounding the brand “Parle” “Melody” and shares of Parle Industries rose 5% right after this.

BUT here’s the catch :sweat_smile:

Parle Industries is a real estate company and has literally nothing to do with Melody. THAT’S Parle Products, which isn’t even listed on the stock market :skull:

Someone saw “Parle” Melody in the headline, didn’t read past that, and bought shares of “Parle industries”. then a few more people jumped in without checking why. that’s literally what happened.

We love us some irrational market, don’t we?

Also thinking about that one quant with a full short thesis on Parle Industries who woke up to a 5% spike and is just staring at the screen as we speak. Feel you man.
