Cum au reusit utilizatorii /Reddit sa faca praf Wallstreet

Reports of people crying and smashing up offices have surfaced after a Reddit forum called WallStreetBets waged a war against hedge funds who had shorted stock on gaming outlet GameStop.
Sellers were caught in a short squeeze as members of a fast-growing discussion board pumped money into shares they had bet against, increasing its value by nearly 2,000 per cent in the past month in an act of defiance.
Melvin Capital has been particularly hard hit by the uprising, as has CitronResearch. The former has been forced to close its position on GameStop after encountering devastating losses on a short position that pays out when the stock depreciates.

there was immediate online derision after billionaire investor Leon Cooperman (who has no position in GameStop) said these traders "don't have any idea what they are doing" in an appearance on CNBC. "The reason the market is doing what it's doing is, people are sitting at home, getting their checks from the government, basically trading for no commission and no interest rates." [...]

When trading app Robinhood Thursday restricted trading in the stocks championed on WallStreetBets, Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez mocked Wall Street outrage and scolded Robinhood for the move to "block retail investors from purchasing stock while hedge funds are freely able to trade the stock as they see fit."

easy money and increasingly generous bailouts fuel the rise of monopolies and keep “alive heavily indebted ‘zombie’ firms, at the expense of start-ups, which drive innovation.” And all of that is contributing to lower productivity, which means slower economic growth and “a shrinking of the pie for everyone.”
As such, no one should be surprised “that millennials and Gen Z are growing disillusioned with this distorted form of capitalism and say that they prefer socialism.” In the 1980s, “only 2 percent of publicly traded companies in the U.S. were considered ‘zombies,’ a term used by the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) for companies that, over the previous three years, had not earned enough profit to make even the interest payments on their debt,” Sharma wrote. “The zombie minority started to grow rapidly in the early 2000s, and by the eve of the pandemic, accounted for 19 percent of U.S.-listed companies.” It’s happening in Europe, China and Japan, too.

Pai nu Poiana e aria ptr asa ceva - vezi pe Money...

Si cineva o sa-si ia o mare teapa dintre cei de pe Reddit. In schimb cativa baieti destepti care i-au instigat pe ceilalti se vor imbogati pest noapte.

aici nu sunt de acord, fiindca stirea nu are doar implicatii financiare ci si implicatii sociale.

dar daca subiesctul e deja discutat pe editoriale, se poate muta acolo, nu e suparare...

Ce nu pricep eu e cum de poate o platforma gen Robin Hood sa aiba influenta asa de mare asupra unei piete asa de mari ... pana si la bursa subdezvoltata din Romania ai cel putin 10 traderi mari intre care poti sa alegi, iti ia cateva minute sa deschizi un cont. Nu te lasa Robin Hood sa cumperi, cumpara din alta parte ... WTF?

Since the decision, Robinhood’s app on the App Store has received thousands of one-star reviews as a form of practice known as review bombing. On the r/WallStreetBets subreddit, angry Robinhood users are calling for a class action lawsuit because “allowing people to only sell is the definition of market manipulation,” according to one post. There’s even a new subreddit specifically for suing the company. Another Robinhood user tweeted that after years of being on the platform, the move felt like a “slap to the face,” adding “to be regulated in a time of absolute prime opportunities is an embarrassment.”
