I don’t speak stock marketese.

I think I heard something in the background buzz of tv I catch now and then. My hearing switches off when I hear anything to do with gaming or the stock market lol

8. a bunch of small day traders on reddit organised to buy up GME (GameStop) stock as the giant

hedge fuds held huge short positions (betting the GME stock would go down). The Stock is up (or was) 8000%, meaning the hedge fund shorts are get massacred. The group is moving onto new targets in similar positions as well, like Blackberry, Virgin Galactic, AMC, Koss, Express, etc etc.

It is a war on the hedge funds by thousands of small traders.
