Corte de mangas a Wall Street: La saga GameStop

The interviews have more cuts than an action movie and depict the "retail investors" as stupid and reckless.

One interviewee already gave a statement that his words were twisted and cut to fit the narrative of the film makers.

When they talk about the buy button being removed it's only ever about robinhood eventhough more brokers restricted buying than not.

Generic stock footage is used frequently throughout the series. It almost feels like a youtube video.

When they try to explain short selling which is basically the reason for the whole documentary they explain the absolute basics then say it is "complicated"....well thank you. Why did I watch 2 hours of your series?

They paint normal people buying a stock as market manipulators.

You'll learn nothing from this series.

I would equate "Eat the Rich: The GameStop Saga" to a documentary made about Casey/Kaylee Anthony that omitted the evidence found in the trunk of Casey's car, did not mention Casey's behavior following the disappearance of her daughter, and was written by Casey Anthony herself. For anyone remotely familiar with this infamous case, you get the picture? Such a misleading documentary with essentially all of the evidence omitted would of course skew the story itself, but having the storyline dictated by Casey herself? You can be sure the information provided will be biased. Would you trust the information provided in a documentary about a murder written by the prime suspect? No?

This is what "Eat the Rich: The GameStop Saga" is. A documentary outlining events with key details removed, created and bolstered by individuals with not only an extreme bias, but also intentional ignorance of the totality of the facts. If you're looking for tangible fact, this documentary is not a source you should look to.

I always gather information from a variety of sources whenever I decide to read up on an event/topic. This ensures that I do not succumb to bias and am able to form my own independent opinion. If you would like to get more of the facts and form an opinion for yourself, I would recommend giving "The Diamond Handbook" a read. Just google "The Diamond Handbook Reddit" and you will find it.

Listen, I know Netflix Documentaries are usually said to not be too good and/or biased. But to be fair I'm not here to get, like, all the details and information from only this source HOWEVER what I'm here fore is a basic understanding and rundown of things so I can see if it is worth my time to do my own research.

I didn't really watch the news around the time all of this went down so "GameStop" was only "that one American company that kinda crashed the Wallstreet or something" to me. This little documentary series was amazing to give me a quick overview of what happened, so that I now have a (admittedly probably very rough) picture of the whole thing.

It might have felt very subjective but I still appreciated the opportunity to save me a tremendous amout of time for research. Admittedly, this was the most comfortable option.

I honestly do not think they did any other research than the facts that were provided to them by their corporate overlords.

Mostly talking points from MSM.

The conclusion that retail investors, those of us with the least amount of money, power, and corruption conspired to crash the economy only leads to a bigger question....

Why is is so detrimental to our society that people invest in a stock, GME, in this instance, and hold on to it for appreciation?

Absolutely dumbfounding that the principles of stock ownership do not apply, and are sinisterized.

UNLESS.....there may actually be more going on behind the curtains. You have to wonder...why this group of individual investors poses such a threat to society...the truth with set you free.

Oh yeah...Cramer is a tool. Who the hell can take this joke of a commentator seriously. If you question his motives, check out the video of him talking about how to manipulate stock prices and public sentiment.

He should be in jail not on cable "news".

The whole thing felt like some sort of low effort attempt to capitlize on the Gamestop craze. As someone who works in finance I was annoyed at the how many things were not entirely accurate, misleading, or just plain wrong. I watched this wanting to know more about the people involved and more about not only what happened during the short squeeze from January 2021 but wanting to know more about what is currently happening with Gamestop and was dissapointed on both fronts. There former was poorly explained and instead I had to suffer through memes that were shoehorned in for fan service and the latter non-existent. No mention of the direct registration movement, how a small group of investors currently own 55% of the free float (and growing) of a multi-billion dollar company, or any analysis into the realistic economic impact. I wish I hadn't wasted my time and am writing this in the hopes that it saves someone else hours of their life that would be better spent other ways. I honestly can't imagine who would get anything out of this series and struggle with identifying who the target audience even is because it sure isn't "people who want to know more about the Gamestop saga".
