Elizabeth Hurley Destroys IG, 330-LB. Solid Gold Dumbbell Rows & Ohio Man Is Trying To Sell A Used Casket
If you're an old school fan of the Wild West Internet mentality, you need to go look at r/wallstreetbets
The Internet has become stupid TikTok videos, Instagram models posting workout videos, people constantly bitching on Twitter, and your parents acting like idiots on Facebook. We were due for some old-school Internet to breakout, and that's exactly what we're getting over on Reddit r/wallstreetbets. These Redditors have banded together to fight short-seller Andrew Left of Citron Research.
You guys have way more Wall Street intellect than I'll have over my lifetime, so there's no need to recap the stock financials on Monday. Let's just say it was a wild ride from the $80s into the $150s, down to the $60s, and now into the mid $70s as Redditors try to figure out their next move. If you want to see the battle rage, go over to r/wallstreetbets and take a look. Be careful, you'll be sucked in. Set aside an hour of your time before diving into the threads.

The Great $GME War of 2021 will likely be over here in a day or so and there will be carnage everywhere, but it snaps us out of the dumb TikTok video funk we're in and shows us just how incredibly entertaining the old school wild west Internet used to be.
