View submission: /r/wallstreetbets is making international news for counter-investing Wall Street firms that want to see GameStop's stock collapse. The palpable excitement is off the charts.

Lmao for real. They're just a bunch of guys following a funny trend that happened to fuck over the big boys, and ever since the big boys got pissed, WSB is only even more motivated through memes to continue fucking the big boys over, or at least that's how I see it.

They're not some underworld syndicate that controls the market. It just so happens that GME Stocks are the new trend, so everyone is buying them.

Imagine being a stock broker and having all your carefully laid schemes ruined by shitposting.

It doesn’t hurt that literally anyone can invest easily just by downloading an app, and once they see the $1000 or so they invested turn into $3000 over a couple days, they get everyone they know in on it.

WSB has massive market influence, it’s just never this focused. Usually spread out between shares of $PLTR, $NCLA, $TSLA, $SPCE and others of that sort

same thing happened with 4chan. Boomers simply have a hard time to figure out what to call groups of people on the internet.

I get your point, but there are some very big players in on this. Your average Joes couldn't band together to manipulate a stock to this degree.

Man its so weird when the internet bands together to fight powerfull people and they actually beat them.

Makes you wonder what we could to with this power if we used it more frequently.
