Gaming Wall St

If you have a brain, pass. The first 15 minutes is filler, not getting into the actual story at all. Garbage. Watch Sesame Street instead. The actors are more mature.

Jokes aside, great Documentary!

We need as much noise and attention on this Mess of a stock market.

This was extremely well made, and I will continue to follow these creators, easiest 10/10 of my life.

This kid is everything rn, and having him narrate is genius.

Aside from that, this did such a genius job of exposing what was happening sure the GME fiasco and how it continues.

My ONLY issue is with AOC and Jim Cramer being given a voice in this- they're both financial morons with no more a right to be viewed as an 'expert' than my mom. Cramer was a huge fan of Elizabeth Holmes/Theranos, and pushing those questioning Pfizer to be imprisoned. AOC/Sandy has zero clue how Wall Street really works and the entire time it happened would only spout the most basic talking points.

Otherwise an excellent doc that should be mandatory viewing for anyone who invests.

This show ponders various questions, yet rarely arrives at an answer. Instead, it challenges us to (1) raise awareness, (2) learn the system, and (3) follow this hbomax link for more info.

How did Melvin Capital offload its short position in Gamestop (GME)? Was Citadel colluding with Melvin Capital and Robinhood to limit their losses and/or to profit from GME's increase? Was naked short selling practiced in the sale of GME?

Kieran Culkin, infrequent narrator, leaves us with these parting words: "It's a new generation... our generation... we won't sit on the sidelines any longer. If there's one thing the Gamestop phenomenon taught us, it's that we do have a voice, and it's time we start using it."

Cool. Thanks Kieran.

Here's my voice then: Is it a broken system? Yes.

Will it break again? Yes.

Solution?

Hmmmm.....

Wow. The first episode is an introduction to explaining stock trading and introduces the average person to the corruption behind the scene - but the second episode is edge of your seat.

I couldn't stop watching the second episode. It rips the cover off the hidden system and brings into the light the crimes that is integral to the secretive American system of financial greed that is Wall Street.

Don't miss this flashlight into the rotten underbelly of capitalist criminality.
