The Battle of Gamestop

The Battle of GameStop 

George Townsend

In January 2021, a specific set of conditions led the price of GameStop stock to skyrocket. It had surface level news coverage, but how much do you REALLY know about this story? This incredibly abnormal market behavior saw financial institutions go head-to-head with individual investors, who were fed up of their driving companies into the ground for profit. The resulting chaos produced a Borderscape between these parties, which we’ll explore in depth in this podcast. You don’t want to miss this.
