Hey guys and welcome to another episode of Tanvir Talks! Join me, your host Tanvir, and my trusted co-host, Ehsan, in the latest Tanvir Talks episode where we discuss:The madness around Gamestop (3:33)Yes, it was a crazy week. This is a long segment. We give an overview of what happened (from the very start in September 2019!) and discuss the events that led to Robinhood (as well as other brokers) to limit trading. Did Reddit actually manage to break these hedge funds alone? What are the possible reason as to why Robinhood blocked buying funds for Gamestop (and other stock)? What happens next?
