Between electronics projects, you may have been following the latest escapade involving the stock market, GameStop, Reddit, hedge funds, and online brokerages. If you’re like me, the stock market was oddly never part of the education curriculum; sparking many unanswered questions such as:
- How did the GameStop ($GME) meme begin?
- What is Short Selling?
- Why does buying/selling stock also change its price?
- Why is short selling legal?
- What is naked short selling?
Being a casual PC gamer and a retail investor, I put together this video to explain the GameStop meme, and the bitter rivalry between $GME buyers and short-sellers.
