GameStop: How events unfolded and the next chapter

GameStop: How events unfolded and the next chapter Published 2 months ago , GameStop is a bricks and mortar video gaming retailer which launched in 1984. It has stores in malls around the US and, for a time, was very successful. But as shopping habits changed, it faileda not only to anticipate these changes, but also to subsequently alter course and build a strong online presence. That’s the main reason that several Wall Street hedge funds decided to target the company by borrowing shares in GameStop and then selling them short, betting that the company would eventually go out of business. This would mean stocks plummeting to zero, and as these funds were selling between about $10 and $20 per share, they would make a decent profit. This ploy is nothing new, particularly since the big shift in retailing from bricks and mortar to e-commerce. But the search for vulnerable businesses accelerated after lockdowns were introduced last year due to the coronavirus pandemic.

GameStop timeline: A closer look at the saga that upended Wall Street

Melissa Kopka/iStock (NEW YORK) The GameStop saga. No one could have anticipated that a struggling video game retailer would be at the center of a next-level frenzy in the stock market that captivated the world, brought hedge funds to their knees and upended the conventions about small investors. Users from the Reddit page r/wallstreetbets earlier this month gobbled up stock from floundering chain GameStop, sending the price soaring and forcing institutional investors who bet against the company to back out performing what’s known as a “short squeeze.” The phenomenon where short sellers are forced to repurchase stock as prices rise, thereby pushing the price higher isn’t new, but the combination of characters and technology and novel trading platforms forced Wall Street and regulators to pay attention to retail investors as never before.
