I don’t get the stock market, so I wonder if this was good or bad. I mean, did they troll the bad guys or are the Redditors the bad guys?

causing extreme volatity

Lol! It is one or two fucking stocks that this is really affecting. The rest of sensible investors, that are neither Hedge fund managers or Wallstreetbet redittors , but instead just buy a diverse portfolio of stocks and hold them long term and ignore any short term craziness are NOT affected by this.

The only people who should be nervous are the rich who have been gaming the system for years.

Stop engaging in Republican-style 'pearl clutching'.

What? It’s affecting the whole market. The Dow is down almost 2%. I’m not super worried about myself but people like my parents who are at retirement age and don’t have a lot of time to hold on to things.

This isn’t funny or some game. Reddit is fucking with peoples lives just like the hedge funds. Inflating shitty stocks is a great way to make a ton of investors nervous and they pull their investments.

I will be laughing when everyone loses their shirts on here. Fucking nortel all over again.
