Posts & Hot Takes From Inside Reddit’s Big Short Squeeze

As you’ve probably heard, a huge upset in the stock market is currently underway as unrelenting redditors, memelords, millennials, and investors continue to buy GameStop shares, driving up the price of its stock as a result. Why? Well, it all started with r/wallstreetbets—a forum for discussion about risky trading strategies. Some redditors (including the founder of the sub) noticed that GameStop was one of the most shorted stocks in the market and took the opportunity to skyrocket the stock by buying up a shitload of shares. Many other Robinhood users followed suit, YOLOing their life savings into GME and causing a crisis for the short sellers betting against it.

The battle between Melvin Capital and the r/wallstreetbets army is still raging hard as individual investors are not only refusing to sell, but more and more are buying in. They won’t stop until meme stocks blast off to the moon. We’ve collected some of the best posts and zingers from Reddit and Twitter about the r/wallstreetbets saga

Font - hasanabi @hasanthehun there is nothing funnier than going against "market fundamentals" on purpose and pumping up a stock price purely out of spite against hedge funds. ultimately ik institutional investors will still win this battle but rn it's great to watch them flail around crying to the referee.

Font - Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald If it's true that Melvin Capital really didn't get out of Gamestop, but leaked that it did to manipulate others to sell, would that -- as @Jamie_Maz asks -- constitute illegal market manipulation? Seems worth looking into.

Font - Glenn Greenwald ... @ggreenwald The only possible way to have that above-excerpted reaction to the Gamestop/Reddit rebellion is if you grew up coddled in a very elite environment that somehow got you to believe -- all the way into adulthood - this child-like mythology about American culture and politics: Josh Barro 2 Follow Gjbarro Elites are usually elite for good reason, and tend to have better judgment than the average person. #confessyourunpopularopinion RETWEETS LIKES 117 152 12:08 A
