For those who don't understand what's going on with Wall St and Gamestop:

1. Big Wall St firm bet that GameStop stock will fall.

2. Redditors noticed, so they bought the stock en masse, causing the stock to skyrocket.

3. Wall St firm lost bet to the tune of $10+ BILLION.
4. Wall St firm got BUTTHURT losing so much money to a bunch of peasants.

5. Wall St firm pulled strings behind the scenes, pressuring trading platforms to prohibit investors from buying. They can now only sell. Some investors even had their stock forcibly sold at low prices.
6. Stock starts falling again, so Wall St firm now loses less money. They're relieved, somewhat.

7. Investors are FURIOUS and call it rigged against ordinary people, which it is.

8. Investors file lawsuit against trading platform.

The saga continues...
