I keep fucking seeing “here’s the gamestop stock news for people who don’t understand” and then proceed to use words like ‘hedge fund’ and ‘stock’. We don’t fucking know what those are. So i read about it and talked to people who spent years studying capitalism and I’m gonna break this down as far as I can bc it’s frustrating.

Hedge funds are rich people getting in lil groups to put their money together to hopefully turn it into more money. They do this by investing in large quantities of stock which, at it’s most basic, is like a piece of a company. By owning stock you own a lil baby piece of the company metaphorical pie.

The price of stock changes, goes up and down, based on the success of the company. If a company is doing good, it’s stock price goes up. If it’s doing bad, price goes down.

Now gamestop hasn’t been doing well, so if you had $10 worth of gamestop stock, it was on track to be worth $1 in the future.

The hedge funds saw this and did what’s called “shorting the stock”. In order to “shorten the stock” they go up to the stock counter and say

Hedge Fund: “Hey, can I borrow some stock and i give it back later”

Stock person: “Yeah, but you have to GIVE IT BACK LATER. Promise?”

Hedge fund: “yeah bro, promise” then they do whatever the fuck that chest pounding thing from wolf of wall street was.

So hedge fund takes that stock, which is $10 now, sells it to Grimace that purple chicken nugget for $10.

Now as I said before, gamestop isn’t doing good, so once that $10 stock turns into $1 stock, Grimace is like “fuck dude, this was a bad deal, buy it back from me for $1 (which is what it’s worth now)”

And the hedge fund buys the stock back for $1 and returns it to the stock person they borrowed it from.

How much money did they make? Answer below:

$9.

Today is the first day of spring semester and I’m already working on assignments. I feel happy that I’ve got things to keep me busy after such a long winter break, but I’m also craving my bed right now.
