How Meme Stocks Beat Wall Street
The late January GameStop frenzy forced Wall Street to pay attention to retail investors like never before. Wall Street and news outlets analyzed the persona of the subreddit WallStreetBets and broke down their memes and lingo for clues on how this happened. Here’s an explainer on why these collective actions are becoming more common, the role memes play in these situations and what’s next for retail investing.

Oh, madam, No mention that it was already a thing among the big pocket therefore the meme was started to give them a taste back of their own rotten cake... humm
You short, we the community go long and longer. That's how we win!
This is like how the compute power of big tech is formidable but it is nothing compared to the collective computer of the people
Using labels such as "meme stocks", this video is trying to trivialise the movement that exposed the nefarious practices of the big players, who collude, short squeeze and crush companies in order to make a quick buck. The video conveniently failed to mention this murky side of the story. Reeks of bias.

If it was over... why the he'll are they still obsessed about GME 3 months later?
One thing about the dot com bust. One factor was that companies got rid of pension plans and forced employees into 401k. That was a lot of people forced to take their money and having to invest on their own. Which is similar to people taking their stimulus and putting it into stocks.
Here's my equation: people stuck at home + stimmy + no new netflix show drops = $GME 🚀🚀🚀🚀

Do they not realize the fundamentals of GameStop are changing? They’re in the process of transforming into one of the best e-commerce platforms for gaming.
How meme stocks are currently beating wall street*
"Shorts have covered"? This is all lies.
This new generation understand only memes!
But it's OK for hedge funds to short stocks?

You have protest on Wall Street that were not effective but you had a bunch of people on Reddit make Wall Street shake in their boots more than a bunch of protesters. This whole situation was hilarious to me and I'm still laughing about it.
You think this is over? We'll see in the next 3 months.

Hahahah hedge funds closed out their positions. How much they pay you guys to say that 😂

collective of individual investors (democracy/free market) defeats the hedge funds (wealthy managed by finance lords/non-free market). That’s the true narrative. WSB is truest form of freedom of speech and freedom of financial independence. There has to be losers and winners in business. Don’t understand why people suddenly think that’s terrible.
