  • Dan V - Wall Street Bets, GameStop Anomaly, Robinhood Perfoms Fradulent Sh*t
    In this episode, we explain what exactly has been going on in their GameStop stock crisis. We will discuss the subreddit forum, wallstreetbets, and why they intentionally bought up all the stocks to raise the price. We will discuss Melvin Capital’s role in all of this and how firms such as Steve Cohen’s Pivot72 were greatly affected. We will give our insight on the Robinhood trading platform, and if they’re guilty of corruption. Interesting Fact: In 2020, 35% of robinhood’s revenue came from MelvinCapital. Some believe that robinhood closed the GameStop trading platform to protect Melvin Capital. Those who believe robinhood isn’t guilty think it’s because of the 100% collateral requirement, which discourages investment because people could end up bankrupt in the process.
