https://anchor.fm/s/435545cc/podcast/rss
Most people are aware that some crazy stuff happened involving GameStop, reddit and hedge funds in early 2021. But the stock market is made to be intentionally complicated and confusing, after all wall street doesn’t like sharing. So in this episode of Michigan Voices, I’ll be explaining exactly what happened with GameStop and Wall Street, why it matters, and interviewing someone who bought in during the peak and experienced the crash.
What you’ll hear in this episode
- A timeline of the events surrounding the GameStop short
- An explanation of some of the terms and processes involved
- An interview with a friend who bought into the hype and lost big
