dudes will literally buy $GME $AMC and $BB, until it bankrupts multiple hedge funds, instead of going to therapy

There is no shortage of takes about what's going on with Gamestop (and other surging stocks), Robinhood and Reddit's r/wallstreetbets, many of them contradictory - at least on the face of them. But I think it's possible for most of these takes to be right. Here's how. 1/

(running in exhausted) OK I'm here I have the take The actual story of Gamestonk isn't that Redditors figured out how to do financial mayhem It's that we're learning how to Do Reflexivity and just wait until this starts to happen to political campaigns alexdanco.com/2021/01/28/r-w

I really think at this point it calls upon the regulators to consider simply suspending this newsletter for a month and stop sending it. bloomberg.com/opinion/articl

I find it harder and harder to believe anonymous claims on the internet. Not saying it's not true, but at least back in the day when a reporter would report from an anonymous source, they knew who the source was or we at least trusted they did.
