GameStop: Rise of the Players (2022)
Impressive documentary
I was first introduced to the GameStop saga back in early 2021 by my neighbour. He told me about how GameStop was the next big thing; that simply purchasing a single share would bring about an untold amount of riches. As Warden Buffet once said, "invest in all get rich quick opportunities". My neighbour was a little mentally challenged, but in the off chance he was a closeted "rain man", I decided to hear him out.
Fast forward a year later, and I have grown my net worth significantly from buying puts and shorting GameStop.
As it turns out, my neighbour was not in fact "rain man". He got evicted for failing to pay rent, and had to be dragged out of his apartment by the police. He yelled "Apes together strong" as that happened. Not too sure what that meant, but I believe he was communicating in his own special way that he was simply fighting "the system".
That said, this documentary does a good job of showing how a small minority of wallstreetbets traders made a fortune off GameStop, with the majority losing over 70% of their initial investment and continuously bag holding till this day.
Highly recommended documentary!
