What Happened with GameStop? | r/wallstreetbets creator Jaime Rogozinski on The Mikhaila Peterson Podcast #59

Jaime Rogozinski (creator of the subreddit WallStreetBets) and Mikhaila discuss r/wallstreetbets, (recently famous for skyrocketing stock prices for GameStop, AMC, and other seemingly down-trending companies). They discuss Robinhood’s recent activity which led to the trading of multiple trending stocks being halted. Was it because they couldn’t afford what was happening? Or were they protecting Wall Street hedge funds? Listen to what Jaime thinks. They also spoke about cryptocurrencies, selling the rights to Rogozinski’s life story, and his book: Wall Street Bets. What are your thoughts? This was recorded February 17th so when Jaime says “tomorrow” he’s referring to February 18th.
