Kan nån förklara för en ekonomisk idiot som nöjer sig med att spara några tusingar i fonder, vad handlar hela grejen om?
Nån på Reddit skapar en tråd, folk börjar köpa Gamestop-aktier för att rädda företaget då de helt klart lunkat mot sin grav, aktien går upp jättemycket och Wall street får panik och börjar tjata om extremhögern...för att? :/
Från en post på reddit:
Let's say 5 banana's currently cost 10 dollar
One ape on the market has 5 banana's
Snake asks to borrow 5 banana's for a bit and instead sells the 5 banana's thinking price will go down soon (shorting). he thinks he can buy them later for less and give them back to ape, so he make's profit on the difference.
Group of apes notice what stupid snakes are doing and decide to buy all banana's on the market until snakes have no other choice than to buy from the group of apes in order to return what they borrowed
If group of apes stay strong then banana price will go up.
There is a multi-billion dollar hedge fund (snake) that has shorted Gamestop (they've bet that the stock price will go down). People on wallstreet bets (apes) noticed this and told everyone that if they buy Gamestop stock this hedgefund will lose billions of dollars.
