Thinking that I'm going to spend my Friday night getting into a semantics discussion with one of the most brain poisoned people on this website is perhaps your most delusional belief. Have a good one, bog person

I admit is a little vague but don't see how it could be misconstrued when it's a pretty standard standard "hey, is it just me or does Wall St. and Main St. seem to be diverging?" type post.

I can see it now but, this being the Burt Reynolds account, the range of potential opinions or jokes that line could have segued into is near limitless.

Why is GameStop so high? I don’t get it


Aren’t games trending in the direction of non-physical, Downloadable-only? Wouldn’t that kill game stop?

The reddit forum r/wsb is intentionally pumping up the stock. This is to spite short sellers and possibly bankrupt a hedgefund.

The hedge funds are reasonably shorting gamestop because of the market fundementals you note.
