In this episode we delve into an issue that has become an absolute obsession of ours - GameStop. This story is the intersection of the stock market, retail investors and social media. Since cannabis is a retail dominated industry with a heavy presence on reddit, we can draw some great parallels to what we are seeing play out.

There are many lessons to be learned here as our community is very likely to see an influx of retail investors in the near future.
