Gamestop, the mall chain selling video games and consoles in the age of Amazon Prime had a 52-week high stock price north of $400. How does that make sense? WE HAVE NO IDEA. In today's episode, we do the first of a monthly series called Things We Don't Understand. This week we talk about Wall Street Bets, Gamestop, and how much, or how little, the overall stock market makes sense.

We all know how 2020 was. A bit shit. Will 2021 be the same? We hope not! In this episode, we look back on what we did well, poorly, and not at all and make plans for how 2021 can be better than last year. Not that 2021 is starting well.
