Moderna (MRNA) is by far the riskiest stock in the world right now

Each Q as time moves forward institutions and individual funds buy up SPY and S&P500 weighted index funds. now that $MRNA is a part of the S&P 500, essentially all of these inflows will be buying parts of the stock.

I have no idea what this means. Can you ELI5?

Same thing happened with $TSLA.

TSLA literally crashed this year. It went from a high of 900, to now being ~642. That is absolutely nuts in terms of loss if you bought in January. That's why I'm saying that Moderna is risky too. If you buy right now, and it loses several hundred dollars, you could potentially lose tens of thousands, or hundreds of thousands depending on how much you're gambling.
