Nearly one year ago, GameStop stock was trading under $4 a share. This past month, it would rise to an intra-day high of over $480. The sharp move happened over just a few days, with momentum building like a snowball, marking one of the biggest short squeezes in history.

At first, the story started out much more boring: value investors hunting for bargains.

We’ll explore this story from all angles. The Reddit message board, Wall Street Bets, with millions of retail investors going long. Melvin Capital, the New York based hedge fund that lost billions shorting the stock.

Citron Research and Andrew Left, famous for putting out short-based research reports. Robinhood App, a popular brokerage with younger people, which offers no-fee trades. Investors like Michael Burry and Scotty Jackson, who run small hedge funds. The complex inner workings of the financial system—what exactly happens behind the scenes after you click buy or sell. And the market makers based out of Chicago, not Wall Street, who receive order flow.

And the man at the center of it all, Keith Gill, also known as Roaring Kitty on his YouTube channel, and Deep F-ing Value on Reddit—who turned around $50,000 into millions.

Some say it’s a populist tale of the average Joe or Jill versus the suits. And others claim it was just reckless gambling. But in the end, it’s a story as old as time—hype and momentum, mixed in with animal spirits, and a pinch of FOMO for good measure. The pendulum of price, swinging from fear to greed, and back again.

So grab your popcorn or maybe some chicken tenders and settle in.
