Meme stocks are everywhere these days. What’s it like to set one off? On this week’s TLDR, we speak with Eric Jackson, a small-time hedge fund manager who made $OPEN go viral — and who, by the way, rejects the idea that it's a meme stock. Plus, those $100m AI pay packages — how real are they? And how can Devin get one? And, could Edmonton hold the key to Canada’s housing woes?

This episode was hosted by Devin Friedman, business reporter Sarah Rieger and former hedgefunder Matthew Karasz. Follow us on other platforms, or subscribe to our weekly newsletter: linkin.bio/tldr
