Unless you run a hedge fund, are obsessed with finding new The Wolf of Wall Street scenes to make memes from, or are named Chad, the stock market is generally boring. Well, not this week. In fact, there’s plenty of funny tweets and memes about what’s happening on Wall Street this week.
This week, Reddit — specifically the subredding r/wallstreetbets — decided to take on hedge fund managers that had shorted Gamestop (GME). And, in a matter of few weeks, they took the meme stock (sorry, stonk) from $39 to $347 at the close of the market today.
Their goal? To bankrupt the hedge fund managers when those shorts come due on Friday. So far, the hedge funds have lost five billion. Guess it’s time for them to cut back on the avocado toast.
Up next on their list? AMC, Blackberry, and Nokia. Because if we can’t go to the movie theater, at least we can get rich off them. YOLO!
