Selling stocks short is a practice that’s once again facing criticism, and a potential ban, following the collapse of multiple regional banks earlier in the year.

Meme-stock traders used to obsess over video game retailer GameStop (NYSE:GME). Those days are in the rearview mirror now, though, and serious investors should pay attention to GameStop’s problems.

For young investors, they need to think about long-term investments, not about the next few quarters.

Many investors know that 2021 was a record year for initial public offerings (IPOs) in the United States.
