That means allowing for more significant financing for direct support from federal funds. The best example is the stimulus checks for employers, allowing companies to relocate resources to critical costs.&nbsp;</span></p></div><div style="font-size:12px;"><p><span style="font-size:11pt;">&nbsp;</span></p></div><div style="font-size:12px;"><p><span style="font-size:11pt;">The same is true for tenants and landlords, with these checks allowing renters to meet their dues. For instance, Canada allowed for 50% rent coverage loans for landlords, with tenants and landlords absorbing the remaining half. This program escalated for 65% on rent and mortgage interest for commercial space.&nbsp;</span></p></div><div style="font-size:12px;"><p><span style="font-size:11pt;">&nbsp;</span></p></div><p><span style="color:inherit;"></span></p><div style="font-size:12px;"><p><span style="font-size:11pt;">The UK has focused mainly on eviction moratoriums.

A single Google search for&nbsp;&quot;Reddit&quot;&nbsp;or&nbsp;&quot;GameStop&quot;&nbsp;immediately yields results related to the recent rally.

The fund held 11% of the company's stakes, obtained in 2014. As the fund exited this position, they claimed that they'd&nbsp;focus on diversifying their real estate investment. Part of the strategy is to grow their Canadian business.&nbsp;</span></p></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>

This fall adds to an overall decrease of 81% for the week. One of the main reasons seems to be day traders moving to other stocks. The same has been true for AMC, with stocks falling over 45% this week.&nbsp;</span></p></div><div style="font-size:12px;"><p><span style="font-size:11pt;">&nbsp;</span></p></div><div style="font-size:12px;"><p><span style="font-size:11pt;">The decline has resulted in considerable losses for the Reddit investors.

As the short-term returns come, these traders usually move to the next stock. Day traders speculate on short-term gains, and there's no reason to believe they didn't make up a large portion of the Reddit Rally.&nbsp;</span></p></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
