“Angry Mob

By encouraging ordinary investors, also known as retailers, to buy GME shares and increase their price, hedge funds will have to sell them in order to reduce their losses from shares shortening, which increases the share price further.

“Hedge boxes are kicking from donkeys by the retail investor,” Lindzon said.

He pointed out that the millennial investors share information via Reddit and social networks for years, but the huge number of them now means that they are a force that must be calculated. It is like Velociraptors in Jurassic Park; They have become more intelligent, and in the end they stand the fence. “

The moment was also an opportunity for young investors – who flocked to investment since the epidemic was declared, causing the stock market to jump, and partially assist through free brokerage applications such as Robinhood – on the heart of the bird in Wall Street, firm companies.

“What I think is happening is that you, comrades, affect that these fatty cats are concerned that they must wake up and put the work to earn a living,” One of the WSB Subreddit supervisors wrote on Sunday’s publication. “This mysterious feeling that you feel is called respect as it earns well. Wall Street no longer refuses to be present anymore.”

“We put Fu again on the basics,” one of Reddor wrote on Tuesday In a post on millions of dollars It is estimated that Milvin was lost due to the GME increase.

Their actions have a very real impact on these hedge boxes. Two companies have announced that they were investing more than two billion dollars in Melvin on Monday – “an emergency flow of cash”, ” As described by the Wall Street Journal – It aims to install the box.

But not all young investors on WSB earn money from Gamestop.

On Monday, the 25-year-old David was working to finance companies for a special technology company in the Gulf region and lived in the Middle West but asked not to use his last name in this story-about $ 14,000 in GME inventory after reading it on WSB.

He said he was watching gossip around Gamestop for several months, but he finally decided to buy on Monday. “I thought the market was completely irrational and that everything I learned in college does not mean anything,” Buzzfeed News told Buzzfeed News.

He bought about $ 7,000 of shares at $ 115 on Monday morning. After watching it, he bought another $ 7,000 at $ 155 – with the exception of that which ended up to the highest point of the share on that day.

David was panic as he realized that he might have been about to lose 15 % of his total wallet. He sold all his investments in GME and only lost about $ 600 in total. If he did not sell them only moments after buying it, by the end of the day he had decreased about 10,000 dollars (although he would have woke up by the end of Tuesday).

“Frankly, the majority of bad deals on WSB are back to Fomo,” he told Buzzfeed News about Reddit. “I paid a large (but relatively small) price to learn this lesson.”

But for many on WSB, the situation is a mixture of “wealthy eating” and “getting richly rich” (with some contestants that their investments increase millions of dollars), in addition to the joy of arrogance that they succeeded in hunting and hunting them and the worlds of investment and the media were suddenly A close attention to them.

“A good way to check the number of hedge boxes in your building is to check the sidewalk abroad,” One Reddor published on Tuesday. “It must be covered with blood.”

“Any man who dies carrying General Motors will be received by the father himself in Vallala,” Other.

Besides Redditors, other investors also see this moment as one when young investors on the Internet are able to have a great impact on the large Wall Street companies.

Lindon said he expected the hedge to become more intelligent in dealing with these moments. He believes that even if there are millions of millennial investors, they can really greatly influence a relatively small company, instead of the market, industry or customers of the entire corporate, such as Apple.

It is also a reminder that stock markets depend on individuals, their feelings and actions.

“All this is just a raw human passion that denies something deeper,” Peter Hilbron wrote, The founder of the Wealth TRACE Wealth ADVISORS, in a blog about Gamestop and Reddit. “Everyone wants to invite the party, but no one wants the remaining person without a chair when the music stops playing … the friction between these two things is what creates fluctuation.”

This fluctuation is present to the game, well, stop.
