I don’t invest in the stock market and my understanding of it is rudimentary at best. I’ve read a couple articles from here about what’s happening but don’t really understand.

Can y’all help me understand what’s going on in layman terms?

Great synopsis! Thank you. But why GameStop?

Because the guy on the Reddit board discovered the huge number of shorts against Gamestop and he saw an opportunity because the share price was very low. It could be any stock where the price was low and shorts had been placed against the stock.

Makes sense. I didn’t know if GameStop was a specific target or just a supposedly easy target. Thanks.
