An army of Reddit traders has led a crusade against institutional investors. They elevated GameStop (NYSE: GME), a stock worth $18 at the beginning of January, to Everest-level heights of $483 per share. This bottom-up revolution caused hedge funds to lose nearly $20 billion, and investing platforms like Robinhood quickly limited GameStop trading to rein in the Redditors and reduce volatility. Although the GameStop saga seems to be winding down, many Redditors vow to “hold the line” and keep buying GameStop, hoping to squeeze more money out of hedge funds. The standoff between retail investors and Wall Street continues, for now.
