www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/taibbi.substack.com/p/suck-it-wall-streetNeedless to say I have NO BLOODY IDEA wft is going on with this but it sounds fascinating. Hedge Fund Millionaire Wankers Getting Down Trou'd by Reddit Nerds as far as I can work out; Hedge fund millionaire wall street wankers called "Melvin Capital" "borrow" shares to sell. They plan on reselling the shares (in shitloads to lower the price?) to bumfuck "GameStop" a poxy little company who they give no shits about. Stock price goes down, down, down and they plan on selling it when it gets super low and then pocketing the tidy difference since they were just "borrowing" the shares (no idea wft that "borrowing" shit is about). Except some nerds on reddit got together and started buying all the shares too and now the hedge fund deadshits are on the hook to the tune of billions for the shares they borrowed. They were supposedly worth $6 each... but are now worth $340 each. Oh dear. The reddit dude who started it with a 50K investment is now worth 22 mill. (But does this money even exist or is it just numbers moving around like in that movie "The Big Short"?) So then the hedge fund fidoucheries heelspin 180 and squeal "um please can we please changes the rules of the game now please, we're supposed to win at this thing pleeeease..."

Sounds like if the Redditors can resist the urge to "sell high" (technical term, try to keep up) then the big baddies are rooted. Also, unfortunately for the callous hedge-fund fucks, it seems to be a perfect confluence of personal for the redditors. Stuck in shit economy with fuckall stimulus $$ + the generation with vivid memories of the heartless bankers casually wrecking their family's lives in 2008 + even the choice of company itself, "GameStop", eliciting fond memories of their dweeb childhoods = Recipe For Hey Go Fuck Yourselves U Rich Arseholes.

Love how they speak their own language. "Paper hands" vs "Diamond hands", "Hodl" Is "retard" an anagram for "trader" gone wrong?

I love it and hate it. Revenge trading...that isn't going to return any substantial number of houses. not to that dude's dad or anyone else, including those who are being/will be evicted in the US. Hedgefunders will be drinking champagne on yachts tomorrow and the next day, calling the new J Epstein...Qdips and alt-right idiots had four years and were hoodwinked into stirring more shit into the swamp not draining in. It's the System and you're soaking in it. General Strike to turn it upside down or nothing.

Addendum ~ from the WaPo if you can access it. This opening bit is enough for me - especially the bolded part...

LOLL as if any anyone should actually invest their actual real money in any of this shit. It's just a meme narrative for the rest of us you morans. No need to wipe out your grandparents life savings so you can present the image of camaraderie for the appeasal of some anonymous reddit dicks, most of whom by now are actual hedge fund wankers who recently infiltrated your pie-in-the-sky thread.
