GameStop - David and Goliath or a political fable? image copyrightReuters Take a company that's been around for years. Think of a high street VHS video store in the age of Netflix, for example. I, a cynical financial investor, think to myself - I don't like the prospects for that company - it looks out of date, I reckon it's doomed. The shares cost £1 each - a year from now I reckon it will surely be bust. Thanks to the way the financial markets work there is a way I can make money out of this company's seemingly inevitable demise.
