Twitter is rolling over today. Because Reddit users have colluded and bought massive amounts of GameStop stock together which brought a 1700% rise in the share price in 4 weeks. Whether the whole thing is just a one-off hoax or develops into a trend for small investors remains to be seen.

I love the stock market because when it goes up we get nothing but when it goes down we all lose our jobs. Except during a pandemic when it goes up and we still lose our jobs
