816 - What the H&LL happened to the Meme Stock Squeeze? With Spencer Jakab

In 2021, it's all about Covid, and then Gamestop Stock. Everywhere you go (or can't go), people are talking about Gamestop, AMC, Meme Stock, Wall Street bet, and Reddit! So, what happened? As I mentioned in the podcast, it's not that easy to short a stock, and sure as hell, it's not easy to pull off what Reddit had pulled off on Gamestop! Spencer Jakab, an award-winning financial journalist and a former top-rated stock analyst at Credit Suisse, came on to talk about his new book, The Revolution That Wasn't: GameStop, Reddit, and the Fleecing of Small Investors, and to share with us, what was going on behind the scene that made all this possible?
