Game stations skyrocketed. Why can the market value of this company advance by leaps and bounds?

The main reason is that there are funds to short the company, but there are also many gamers who unite to push the company's share price to a high point. Recently, the American stock market staged a scene of retail investors attacking Wall Street. The incident originated from the game station of an offline game retail company. Affected by the epidemic, the company's performance has fallen sharply and even faced a delisting crisis. Subsequently, a short-selling fund publicly stated that it wanted to short the company. However, because the company has a huge number of gamers, after the news was known by these gamers, everyone bought the company's stock in a group, and then the company's stock appeared 17 times. The short position directly broke the position and had to leave at a loss. This news also aroused everyone's enthusiasm, and then another cinema company, AMC, was bought by a large number of fans, and its share price soared.

However, the good times did not last long. Subsequently, many online trading platforms indicated that they would suspend the trading of the stock, and many platforms also suspended the buying of the stock and could only close their positions and sell it. However, this behavior has aroused a lot of people's dissatisfaction, and some investors directly sued these brokers, saying that they violated the rights and interests of investment. At present, many brokers have resumed the trading function of related stocks. At present, retail investors have achieved short-term success. A fund that shorted the game station has said that it has withdrawn its corresponding position and said that it has already faced losses. This incident has made retail investors quite proud. They think they beat Wall Street.

A retail investor excitedly wrote that he has prepared a number of trading platforms and will continue to add stocks such as game stations. I believe that the price of stock will be higher and higher. However, at present, the regulatory authorities have intervened in this incident to judge whether the relevant transactions, including the suspension of securities firms, are illegal. At present, driven by American retail investors, the shares of many established American companies have risen. I believe that in the future, retail investors will continue to hold groups and the struggle with institutions will continue.

Jeff, chief investment officer of Double Line Capital? Jeff Sherman said in an interview? This wave of enthusiasm will eventually pass. It is precisely because this enthusiasm is concentrated in a few stocks that I don't think it will have an impact on the overall market. But in the environment of explosive market rise, this is exactly what we need to discuss, that is, investors have become too fanatical. ?
