Gamestop's Stock Market Adventure

Later in this episode, Vec and Mark discuss the investment frenzy surrounding the video-game retailer, Gamestop. It is the latest twist in a battle that has pitted amateur investors against Wall Street giants. Major hedge funds had bet billions of dollars that GameStop's shares would fall. But they have faced major losses after amateurs, swapping tips on social media sites such as Reddit, drove up the share price by more than 700% in a week.
