How Reddit almost CRASHED the Economy with a meme.

The GameStop short squeeze has probably been one of the biggest events in recent Internet history, completely disrupting the status quo of the financial world of billionaire hedge funds. What happened with WallStreetBets, Reddit, Robinhood and the Stock Market will probably linger for years to come as a turning point in internet culture. Today we recap the events and talk about the larger implications, although there are most certainly many ramifications of this story that have yet to surface.

Idiot, they got a HUGE payout. In January, retail investors, often co-ordinating their actions on Reddit, drove up the price of GameStop by as much as 2,400 per cent at its peak during a frenzied period of market moves. That delivered huge gains for Senvest, which emerged as one of the biggest winners in the volatile Reddit trading saga, finishing January up 38 per cent and the first quarter up 67 per cent. Others were not so fortunate, with funds including Melvin Capital that had bet on a falling price suffering huge losses.

As the stock market goes through this bear market phase of declining prices, it is not surprising to see newbie investors get worried about their portfolios declining in value. In the short-term, you have zero control over the ups and downs of the market (driven by emotions, manipulation, news, algos etc..), SO there is no point trying worrying about it. The only thing you should is to either ignore it OR take advantage of it (consistently adding more shares at discounts).

[@Mhousley]

In investing, no one can predict the market with certainty but we put the odds in our favour by trading high probability price action patterns and managing risks. Sure strategical trades could also be put in place to earn too but such trades are usually been carried out by top experts

@Barb. Very well articulated; I wish I had more time for trial and error, but l'Il be 40 in October and I need ideas and advice on what investments to make to set myself up for retirement, especially with the looming recession and current trends in the market.

[@barbborstein7640]

Lol 😂, I’m no financial expert but having a pro guide you is important. I've delved in stocks, bonds, ETFs and real estates for long term gains with the help of a renowned investments advisor, Kevin S Mikan. He's been assisting me all through, I just pay commissions from earnings. You can search him up and get in touch with him.

Well with Kevins' oversight, I’m still going hard on this crazy market and I'm doing just fine. My portfolio currently up 43% right now.

[@waynestones]

Without a doubt, the Fed is to blame for the exceptional catch-up measures currently in place since they were initially too slow to control inflation. The outbreak, supply-chain issues, and the state of Ukraine are all contributing reasons to the impending inflation perfect storm. Not to mention the steep rise in housing costs, another aspect that makes it difficult for the Fed to keep inflation under control. In conclusion, if you have the money, remove it quickly away to take advantage of the high savings rate.

The reality of investing is that most traders just want to invest and make money overnight not like that's impossible,but you'll already have attained a high level of experience well earned from days put in the market. Nothing beats the feeling of passively earning consistently from the financial markets, it's always very reassuring and resourceful. Last I checked, I still can't remember when I had cash subsidy

[@claireobrien3419]

Becoming a professional trader isn't for everyone I've seen so many occasions where many still doing the 9 - 5 are earning fat incomes letting fiduciaries be at the helm of their investments affairs and that's simply how they became big beneficiaries of the financial markets. Sometimes I just wish I found out sooner because all I've been doing is incur losses from different trade occasions, initially I thought the market operates mostly on luck but to my expectations it ain't even a get rich quick scheme and it's even more complex than I imagined.

[@euihiroaki7330]

Being cynical is a very bad attitude most newbie traders seem to always work with, going into the market believing it's a get rich quick scheme is very delusional, you can't just expect to jump into something you've never done before and try to match or beat the complexity of the market at on single go, you might make profits but on the long run you'll lose more than you've gained. Lately I can proudly say my portfolio has definitely been on steroids because the gains I'm consistently amassing from my investments in stocks, crypto and real estates due to the markets current hot state is just colossal, I'm imploring aid from a licensed expert trader and perhaps that's why my investments are being guided through a lucrative pathway, with the proficiency and experience of Noud Mikan a FINRA regulated trader and risk analyst I've successfully acquired life long wealth over long term investments. Over the years of partnering with him I've been able to grow and build a 6figure portfolio and as of now I am earning around $51k monthly

I always hear that poor people are on the bottom and the rich are on the top, untill one day, i saw a illustration of this. It was these poor people holding up the rich, with their backs.

basically: big guys in suits bet that gamestop would lose money, and reddit was like 'nah fam' and got a bunch of people to buy gamestop stock and therefore it made money, and the evil guys in suits lost all of the money they bet (and them some!) and were all like, 'your not supposed to do that!!1!1! hope this helps!

[@nutsandbolts1264]

Ok, so basically, you can let others borrow/buy you're stocks (stocks are like parts of the company that make it full) and if the price goes down its more money for the person who sold it to you (you have to pay up the missing ammount that you lost, because they gave you a part that was worth more than that). Now if the price *rises* then if they want what they let you borrow/buy back, they're gonna have to pay the ammount that it went up for and you get the money since you're the owner of those stocks. Now, these rich guys can manipulate the price of the stocks, so that they don't have to worry about the price going up (when the price goes up then they have to pay for the ammount it went up for, if they want it back). Now reddit users basically bought a bunch of stocks from gamestop, and now since the demand for gamestop was insanely high, if the rich people wanted they're stocks back, then they would have to pay the price, (which was like 4x more expensive than what it was before they sold it for) if they wanted to buy it back now, then they would lose alot of money since it was worth even more than what they got for selling it, basically losing more money instead of gaining. And as for the redditor's, they were now the proud owners of stocks that were worth like atleast 4x more money than before, and since they kept buying, the demand for these stocks became so much that gamestop stocks became scarce. Rich people who were making money from people who owed them, ended up losing millions since they could no longer buy more stocks for the same price and instead had to pay even *more* for those stocks.

He says it almost “crashed” the economy. It was literally just the redistribution of wealth within the stock market economy.

[@ryanlopez3945]

Thing is that the economy is composed by the wealth of the big boi companies that work in conjunction with governments(aka 70% of the economy). The other 30% is composed by hard working people who the get that money stolen from them through taxes and some other bullshit. In short the when they say that the economy will crash they mean that the big boi companies will lose money not the workers.

[@ThePaulper]

@@ryanlopez3945 I’m not sure those numbers are accurate, but it’s still money trickling down from the wealthy to the poor (aka the redistribution of wealth).

[@ThePaulper]

@YoungOasis Yes, in a free market economy, hedge funds went down. However, it is still the redistribution of wealth from the rich to the poor. It doesn’t matter how many of them fall, the economy doesn’t crash if hedge funds in the market fail or go bankrupt, it is the movement of wealth from one place to another.

[@ThePaulper]

@YoungOasis In conclusion, just because some hedge funds crashed, doesn’t mean the stock market did.

[@theomniknight514]

@@ThePaulper if the big people that had billions in the stock market went bankrupt and were unable to buy back the stocks at the prices they had too it could potentially crash the entire market as they are invested in other businesses as well, leading to a massive drop in the value of all of the companies involved in the stock market which would hurt everyone, that’s why some people disagreed with the whole ordeal, it was only a bit short of causing a massive crash
