- when a big man (wallstreetbets.com) buys or sells lots of a specific stock (shares of 3M), other big men (other whales) notice and might copy him, increasing the value of the stock
- right now, whales have bought 5 "shares" for 3M (bullish expectation) and sold 2 "shares" of 3M (bearish expectation), so they are more likely to think 3M's stock price will go up than down.
- 3M's stock price is currently going down, but some whales think it will go up in the future.
- some stock traders at Wall Street noticed that people are buying a lot of "options" (kind of like tickets to buy 3M's stock at a certain price in the future) and that might cause 3M's stock price to go up.
- 3M is a big company that makes a lot of things (like sponges and respirators). They made a lot of money but now their business isn't doing so well and they have a lot of debt.
- some smart people at Wall Street are saying 3M's stock price might go down in the future, but they don't know for sure.
- the people who are really good at trading options (smart money) have noticed something in the options trading for 3M, but they haven't shared it with us. Read from source...
