Why is GameStop’s Stock Surge Shaking Wall Street?

Interview Jack Hanney (in Pacific Time) by Skype, Zoom or Phone

The term funny money is funny only until it’s your money that has been suddenly devalued. Several major hedge firms aren’t laughing after huge numbers of people in the wallstreetbets Reddit forum banded together and decided to invest in companies (like GameStop, Nokia and AMC) that those firms had invested in, anticipating that those companies would lose value. The mass amount of money suddenly being poured into the stock of these companies caused the value to skyrocket and hedge funds to lose billions. 

GameStop stock dropped around 64% on Thursday after retail trading app Robinhood restricted its trading along with other highly volatile stocks. The brokerage’s curbs affected other stocks that hedge funds had previous shorted heavily. 

The wallstreetbets forum was temporarily down. 

Things have continued to heat up and as people on both sides of the aisle are watching this back and forth unfold, many are wondering what this means for the future of the stock market.  

Economist Jack Hanney joins us to share his expertise on the current markets as well as historical economic trends.
