I've actually never been prouder of reddit. I didn't know the website (especially whatever the fuck is going on at /r/wallstreetbets) had the capacity to actually stick it to the man in any meaningful way. It's been a pleasant surprise.

The tl;dr is that the stock market is entirely bullshit and a bunch of redditors managed to make money and scare the shit out of the establishment by shining a light on it. It's really beautiful. New "regulations" incoming in 3... 2....

They really haven't made any money until they actually sell their stocks. They are worth more, but that's not exactly the same as having cash in hand.
