In this episode I wanted to discuss the "Gamestonk" situation.
Specifically I wanted to talk about "Short Selling" a stock, and the effects it might have on the stock market as well as a business' finances, both positive and negative, because I think that the general perception that short selling is negative is incorrect.
That, however, is not to say that I am opposed to what WallStreetBets did. I don't know enough about the situation with the Gamestop stock, or what hedge funds were attempting to do by shorting it. I'm merely commenting on short selling, and its market effects, as I understand them.
