NOTES
A reddit forum called r/WallStreetBets describes itself as “like 4chan found a Bloomberg Terminal”
Last year user delaneydi argued GameStop was underpriced
People started joking that WallStreetBets users should take over GameStop
The idea was driven in part by punishing Wall Street, particularly short-sellers -- people who bet that a stock will tank.
