(54,878 posts)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.

It isnt just GameStop: Here are some of the other heavily shorted stocks shooting higher

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
