A Reddit forum sent GameStop, AMC and other stocks rocketing up through the stock market - and upended the financial system in the process. r/WallStreetBets got Wall Street's attention, and it doesn't look like its users plan to stop any time soon. Here's how it happened and what to expect.

Samtime did a much better job than this in explaining!
GME ROUND TWO! February 25, 2021. It's happening again today, which is one reason why the general markets are taking a turn untoward.
Pump and dump... ha, you know nothing Jon snow
Gamestop - how much is the stock worth? $80? We'll give you $5.75
This is what happens when you have no idea what you're talking about and make a video anyways.
The Pig Picture
Without the help of *mallcrack* on Instagram, I would know what is going on in my wife phone, thanks alot 🙏 to mallcrack who helped me unlock my wife iPhone You can inbox mallcrack on Instagram in any kind of recovery and hacking of account and phone including cash app and PayPal, he's reliable and fast in any kind of work
Wow, apparently the reddit mob didn't like this video. It's not for them, it's for all the rest of us. Your articles on this brouhaha have been useful, informative, and funny.
More like The Big Invisible Picture.
Reddit = Reddcoin RDD and DOGE Dogecoin
Same with this video, the verge is doing pump and dump video lol.
You clearly don't understand any of this.
Bs video
this presenter doesn’t know how to pronounce anything
I want my 4 mins back.
I want my 4 mins back.
It's called r "slash" subreddit
يا عودي
Which reddit user started the hype?
'Nanny Yellan' will look after her Hedge fund siblings ? Full bib & nappy change ? - 'There' !
That was brilliant.. thank you!!!?
Did you guys fire the black kid
lol
But Nokia.
Get a line of twits and your machine clinks like a slot machine.
You need influencers to twitt.
Almost as many dislikes as likes. I bet a comment can overtake the likes of this video.
ok but seriously, don't let this be a one time thing. we just acted like millennials. and we managed to screw them over. their system has been screamed at being faulty for years and we actually proved that EASEILY. WETHER YOU DID IT FOR A MEME, OR BECUASE YOU WERE TRIGGERED, WE JUST MADE A POINT IN HISTORY AND CHALLENGED THEIR BEIGGEST FORM OF CAPTIALISM AND IT WASN'T EVEN HARD! DON'T GIVE THEM A CHANCE TO RECOVER AND MAKE IT HARD!
what a ridiculous video. for those new to the topic, the redditers are the good guys, the hedgefunds are the bad guys.
she look high as a kite
Wow, you ppl
Game stonks
I want my 4 mins back.
OXLC is a Dividend Champ!
God bless America !
Oh Verge writers. Why does literally everything has to be „you have to look at the big picture“. Even the host has trouble not smiling when she has to say it.
Are CNN and CNBC calling the reddit guys stockmarket terrorists and white supremacists yet?
incorrect explanation. This lady must like hearing herself talk bc what she is saying is schizophrenic!
Robinhood is getting sues for restricting how much stock they can buy which breaks their company policy
can anyone translate this to me lmao. its all gibberish to me. i googled stock cause its been all over reddit and i dont get it. can anyone explain this for a dummy like me lmao
How can anyone take this asshat of a company seriously?
She doesn’t really know what she is talking about
Stocks are good but I swapped and invested in cryptocurrency(Bitcoin) I've been earning much from it💵 people will be kicking themselves in regrets in few weeks if they miss this opportunity of buying and investing in Bitcoin (Cryptocurrency).
So pleased seeing my broker being talked about on ROlabel, there's money to be made in trading. Mrs Angela ain't perfect but her wins are way more than her losses Just follow her lead.
I needed her info too. Will text her soon
Though I started with as low as $ 1500 actually because it was my first time and it was successful
I met her in a conference meeting at Washington DC and after giving her speech I was opportune to me and started investing with her
@William George thanks I just contacted herand she responded I will start with $ 3000
this is the worst big picture episode
Terrible explanation
If you actually read wall street bets..... there aint no dump planned.
DO NOT SELL AMC // GME // BB // NOK !!!!!! HOLDDDD🚀🚀🚀 ONE STAR REVIEW ROBINHOOD STAY STRONG BOYS
Lesson is: the more free market is (less fees) and the more people find it as best thing to spend time on since they cant work or do otherthings coz covid, the more threatened should be ones, whose making money out of beying big and manipulating. Solo person has large versatility, company has low versatility. Versatility goes up => less plays like gamestop will happen from big companies eventualy.
The very first second she says *BUY NOW" The rest of the video u dont need to watch. Just buy GME AND HOLD DAMMIT!
I'm in. Holding
🚀
Where do Verge finds these wastes?
If your watching this video bc you are looking for a good and correct understanding of the GameStop stock scandal/whatever you call it, this is not your video. This is a horribly incorrect explanation. This lady must like hearing herself talk bc what she is saying is schizophrenic!
Your nauseating to watch love. Report, don't act.
Amazing how buying power has influenced the markets. Large corporations are worried.
Shorts are legal Lobbying is legal Hedgehogs can trade Little guys can't trade 💎🙌🚀
You completely missed the point. On purpose?
GameStock is the perfect title for this video. It also avoids the GameStop Stock tongue twister.
This video literally did not explain anything
My OF account is totally free to subscribe!💖 😋 Raptors fan! ;) sweetbabycassie
Please add scripted captions
Nothing in this video. I wasted my time
This what OCCUPY never was able to accomplish!
Can't trade stocks without the government intervening, but social media can actively censor and they do nothing. This is America in 2021.
I'm in. Holding
Short squeeze
Poor job by the verge. Instead of explaining how it happened You are just saying the one part of the story
0:30 *Elon has entered the chat*
After I watched the video , I still don't understand what she is taking about
Enough is enough. We are going to the moon! 🚀
Worst explanation ever
Bad explaination of GameStop EVER Created !
I don't understand any of this but stonks eh. Wish school would have taught me about the stock market.
Game stop needs to figure out what they need to do to keep their stocks up... it's time to reinvent the game stop
The lesson is that you should have bought GameStop shares a month ago.
Yasss Liz ps do verge esp 2
I bet this chick was big into Theatre class
Absolutely fantastic vid. Please keep telling this story.
Redditors: Introducing a little anarchy, upset the established order and everything becomes... CHAOS! Also Redditors: I'm an agent of chaos Another Redditors: Oh, and you know one thing about chaos? IT'S FAIR
"F" the wall street billionaires !!!!!!!!!!! BOYCOTT Robinhood
Theory: this is a ploy to make wallstreet richer and millennials and younger poorer What if a syndicate of Wall Street stock traders bought a ton of GameStop shares, due to how cheap they were, at less than $20, then payed influencers on Reddit and other social media to buy GameStop shares to screw with the economy, only to turn a profit of nearly 100 of the amount they put in Why game stop? Well it’s popular and dew or it’s decline, people would take sympathy for the old business. Even then, GameStop won’t last that long after its revival due to lockdowns and the rise of Amazon and other quick online shops There is also some data that shows that someone did start collecting GameStop shares. Between the 11th and 14th of January, the stock price increased from $19.9 to $39.91. Reminder this nearly 2 weeks before the game stop rise to hundreds. Like someone or a group was stockpiling them in preparation. As for the making millennials and younger poorer, when the wallstreets, cash out, what will keep the stock price from deflating? It will lead to them having to buy high and sell low, leading to game stop and the younger generations worst off and wallstreet money men richer Naturally you can call me a paranoid insane conspiracy theorist, but this is just my own 2 sense on the matter. Feel free to bring up any counter arguments in the comments to see if I am missing something huge
Anyone have a link to the wallstreetbets discord?
A very stupid video. Useless
booo
....what is the point of this video?
Useless video.
NOK NOK is my next favorite.
that was one of the worst the verges video
Stonks. this video makes no sense
Apparently, this person doesn't have any clue what's happening and trying to "educate" other people about what happened. You can't have a clear understanding of the event if you don't explain short squeeze.
Im a bit confused but i got the spirit
This doesn't show the bigger picture. This just makes hedge funders look like the victims
if you want a better explanation or an explanation watch Phillip DeFranco
if you want a better explanation or an explanation watch Phillip DeFranco
Here I am watching a perfectly good and video, and then you have throw in the bleep at the end. What is wrong with you? Do you need attention that much? Just make a video and be done with it. Stop trying to be cool, its not working for ya.
These videos are for the uneducated and scared. Real winners are overnight millionaires. Scared money don't make money
she looks so evil
Apes together Strong
Keep in mind that this channel is the same channel who builds *that* computer.
This is not the Verge’s best work unfortunately. The investment thesis for GME was / is solid. Good YOY growth, shutting underperforming stores, and Ryan Cohen on the board. There was like no mention of how the hedge funds consistently manipulate the market by shorting & putting out hit pieces against the short companies. Just not a good explainer vid
Lolololol look at the amount of dislikes on this video.
It's called hybrid warfare
Wrong. It's not a pump and dump. It's a squeeze
😂
This wasn't the big picture though. A lot of details are missing.
This explanation is so bad. Shocking the verge actually allowed such a stalling video
