WallStreetBets founder on GameStop: There is no precedent for this

Jaime Rogozinski, founder of the WallStreetBets trading forum on Reddit, says people are "placing bets on a market in a way that they are actually affecting the odds of the outcome." He speaks with CNN's Julia Chatterley about the stock frenzy. #CNN #News #Business

    1. @Thomas Armsworthy Jr I smell in you that feeling of I GOT TAKEN FOR A RIDE and now “I FEEL STUPID” 😜😀😜😀

    1. You’re an idiot if you think most people are gonna “win” from this. Most will get screwed in ways they can’t imagine, thinking this is some get rich quick scheme. And this founder isn’t a “little guy”. He was richer than you will ever be even before GME. Nobody buys $50K worth of stock from a company like Gamespot if they weren’t. At least hedge funds try to bet on winners. This is grotesquely manipulating the market to explode the stock of a failing company with no future, with no basis in fundamentals.

    2. @Keith Dornseif
      It’s about “killing” the sleazy middle traders. Plenty of rich folks support the “retail revolution”.

    3. The bigger your corporation or the richer you are, the more likely you’ll be bailed out, and the more money you’ll be given. ‘Merica.

  1. Hedge funds manipulate the markets day in and day out. But the little guy wants to play the same game and everyone loses their minds.

    1. @Cesar Robledo exactly, trade at own risk and if they trade without stop loss, thats also their choice. Robinhood is literally stealing from the little guy and giving to the rich dudes… because the stock plummeted and the little investor can only close

    2. They are not even “playing the same game”. They simply bought masses of stock, which is totally fine compared to betting against a company.

    1. @bngr bngr the stock has halved multiple times in the past few days each reclaiming new highs, good try boomer

    2. @eric nol the SEC is investigating the manipulation of the stock price thru the coordination of a buy/sell option strategy online.

  2. well, wall street advocates free market… stopping the reddits or the government helping the short sellers is nothing more then socialism for the rich…

    1. It is anything but socialism. It is naked rule breaking by a conservative establishment to protect itself.

    2. @George this is not a pump and dump at all. Wallstreet took out a bet at %140 that the stock would fail. Probably ilegal because they bet more stocks than the amount of stocks that exist. The redditors called them out.

    3. @Chris ASocialism usually refers to the working class, however it’s not defined as such, socialism can refer to any social group, depending on the context…

    1. they are not beat yet, but they are fumbling around for a defense that protects them from more dire possibilities.

    2. @Thomas Armsworthy Jr if lying is what will make you not commit suicide because Trump lost Bigly,I think you should just go inject some of Trump’s disinfectant.
      How did Biden get to convince Brian Kemp of Georgia to make him carry the state of Georgia.
      You guys are Idiots.

    1. @Altrusian WolfDog bro the wealthiest people literally get the most tax breaks and find the most loop holes. It’s the working:middle class paying more taxes

    2. @Rick Sanchez no, because your parents retirement account has now suffered. I wonder if one of those ballsy redditors will make a lot of money, pick up steam, start a career in finance, work hard, be successful, and then he can be that rich @sshole that loses all his money. Yay!!!

    3. It’s capitalism when the bottom dwellers like us throw them over, these corporations always depend on daddy government to increase regulations on everything, LIKE WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO DO RIGHT NOW!

  3. I am hearing that normal people are doing the EXACTLY SAME THING goldmen sachs dose and paying off student loans and somehow this is a problem.

    1. The rich guys will change the rules and steal the money from the small investors. It is rigged system, small investors are not supposed to profit

    1. “They” stepped in and froze trading for those stock’s…. yeah can not let regular people actually make money on stocks.

    2. What’s next is $RYCEY (Rolls-Royce) It’s another stock we need to buy up, it’s one of the most shorted stocks of this year.
      We need to cause more panic for the elite’s, time to send a message!
      We need to spread this message!

  4. Hey, it’s the free market. If hedge funds lose billions and go under, the free market has spoken. All hail the free market and the almighty dollar 🤷‍♂️

    1. @Easton M Every time the little guy wins they try to stop him especially if it hurts the big guy. Hurray to the little guy whenever he wins. 👍🏿

    2. @Easton M RH got 2 lawsuits people outside can still buy, tomorrow they might be able to buy again the ones in US

    1. @Joshua Brewster yeah bens funded by billionaires with private hedge funds that donate to right wing pro propaganda that will push fake crazy stories that favor there views..

    1. And the 99% have as much right as the 1% to win! Lets face it! The stock market is a gamble, and these billionaires know it! They are playing very risky games, and they definitely manipulate the market. It’s not good or healthy for the majority of the wealth to remain with the 1%, especially when the 99% are playing the same game, with less to start with! Now we see how far people at the top will go to keep others at the bottom. I only started investing this last year, encouraged by my son. He is the one that got several of us to use Robinhood! Robinhood screwed us all today! To say I’m livid is an understatement. Do you think anyone would run to our rescue to bail us out? Hell No. They don’t GAF if we lose our money. I think some of these arrogant wealthy people, who have gained hundreds of billions, possibly trillions, off of the pandemic, should see what it’s like to live in the real world!

    2. And being screwed over in the end, since the Hedge Fund companies bought off Robinhood and made them lock down the 99%.

    1. Brenda, that’s the worst possible advice. The stock is inflated. You’re going to see a collapse in the stock price. This is just an adolescent exercise.

    2. @Chris A how so? If the deadline hits, the short sellers have to buy back the stock to give back to whom they borrowed from, yes it will collapse after stocks are retrieved. You can still buy them.

    1. Watch for clamor of the worst human beings (class action law firms). Shop them on fee structure. Then register compliant on their website

    2. Interactive Brokers as well.

      They tweeted: “Interactive Brokers has put AMC, BB, EXPR, GME, and KOSS option trading into liquidation only due to the extraordinary volatility in the markets. In addition, long stock positions will require 100% margin and short stock positions will require 300% margin until further notice.”

    3. @كتكوت الساخن Thanks for this info. I have an IB account that I haven’t used yet. Now it’ll remain that way.

  5. When the poor people start losing money that’s their problem, but when the wealthy start losing money it’s the poor people’s problem.

  6. When poor people lose money, poor people are “irresponsible”

    When rich people lose money, the poor people are responsible.

    1. What’s next is $RYCEY (Rolls-Royce) It’s another stock we need to buy up, it’s one of the most shorted stocks of this year.
      We need to cause more panic for the elite’s, time to send a message!
      We need to spread this message!

    2. Poor people aren’t buying stocks. Poor people are trying to put food on the table and keep a roof over their heads.

    3. @Javier Lopezquiroz … This will teach you, if rich people have to depedent on government, that’s a clear sign of far from capitalism and rely on bail out money.

  7. The government wouldn’t help the average Joe when he/she lost their job, homes, etc during a pandemic, so the average Joe gave a stimulus package to himself/herself. This is amazing!
