The movie brings to life the audacious tale of how a group of retail traders, propelled by the camaraderie fostered on social media platforms like Reddit's WallStreetBets, reshaped the financial landscape by catapulting GameStop, a struggling video game retailer, into the limelight as the hottest company on the planet.In the early months of 2021, these retail traders identified a vulnerability in the market – GameStop was inundated with significant short positions held by hedge funds and institutional investors. These financial giants had essentially bet against the company's success, banking on its stock price plummeting.Recognizing this unique circumstance, the retail traders seized an opportunity to disrupt the game. They united, strategically buying and holding shares, setting the stage for a thrilling “short squeeze.” A short squeeze is a phenomenon where a heavily shorted stock's value skyrockets swiftly, compelling short sellers to scramble and purchase shares to cover their positions and mitigate their losses. This buying frenzy initiated by the short sellers further propelled the stock price, creating a whirlwind effect.Join Cody Aaron Hanify, Shannon Mahaffey, and J.T. Hazzard as they unravel the intricacies of this incredible saga in “Dumb Money,” examining the triumphs, challenges, and ethics involved in this financial revolution. Tune in as they delve into the cinematic depiction of this true underdog story and provide their unique insights, critiques, and thought-provoking commentary on the societal implications of this captivating tale.

Paul and Ash also talk about an auction of Voyager Digital's remaining assets and developments on the regulatory front.

What is a crypto “degen”? Welcome to the cryptohunt jam where we spend one minute a day to explain crypto. In plain english. “Degen”, short for “Degenerate” was originally used as a negative term describing inexperienced gamblers who'd bet large amounts of money on single bets in the hope of striking it big. You may have also come across it browsing Reddit's “Wallstreetbets”, the social media forum where people talk about risky investments in the stock market. In the crypto scene though, this term has actually become a positive one: It celebrates those people who make wild bets on crypto markets and getting rewarded for the risk they took with large payouts. And now that you know what a “Degen” is in the crypto context, we should look a little into the culture surrounding the term. A lot of crypto's value explosion, especially for meme coins like Shiba Inu, can be traced back to influencer marketing. Celebrating risky investments is part of that narrative - and remember: This only works as long as things go up. Ask yourself: Why do people praise me for taking a win-or-lose position? What do they have to gain? Disclaimer: This podcast references our opinion and is for information purposes only. It is not intended to be investment advice.

Carl Quintanilla, Jim Cramer and David Faber led off the show with a new twist when it comes to the "meme stock madness" -- Wendy's and Chamath Palihapitiya's Clover Health each soaring after chatter about both companies grew on Reddit's WallStreetBets forum.

In today's episode of compounding lifestyle,$AMC #AMCARMY #AMC100k Current Status on AMC and r/WallStreetBets , Reopening Trades, and Other Stocks To Add To Your Watchlist. AMC Entertainment Raises $230.5 Million in Equity Stake Sale to Mudrick Capital With Acquisitions in Focus. AMC Entertainment ($AMC) said Tuesday it raised $230.5 million in cash in an equity sale to Mudrick Capital Management, giving the largest US movie-theater chain more cash to pursue acquisitions and other business investments. The Leawood, Kansas-based company said it sold 8.5 million shares of its Class A stock for $27.12 each to Mudrick, representing "less than 1.7% of our issued share capital and only a small portion of our typical trading volume," according to Chief Executive Adam Aron. AMC's shares closed at $26.12 on Friday ahead of the Memorial Day long weekend that saw US markets closed Monday. The stock has surged more than 1,000% in 2021 as investors jumped in amid hopes for the economic reopening from COVID-19 that saw theaters widely shuttered. AMC also caught the attention of Reddit's WallStreetBets chat forum during a surge in retail trading this year. Coinbase is finally getting into dogecoin. Starting Tuesday, the crypto exchange is offering it's Pro users the option to trade dogecoin, a cryptocurrency that was started as a joke and has taken off this year, helped by the frequent tweeting of Tesla CEO Elon Musk. Wall Street's main indexes ended little changed on Tuesday, with gains in energy and financial shares countering declines in healthcare, as investors weighed the latest U.S. economic data for signs of a rebound and rising inflation. The S&P 500 financial sector hit a record high, while expected growth in fuel demand boosted oil prices and helped lift the energy sector. The healthcare sector was dragged down by a weak profit forecast from Abbott Laboratories. Data showed U.S. manufacturing activity picked up in May as pent-up demand in a reopening economy boosted orders. But unfinished work piled up because of shortages of raw materials and labor. $ARKX $XOM $AMC $X $NUE $TSLA $AAL $BNGO $MARA $O $CRWD $FB $AAPL $FCEL $MGM $GOOGL $EZGO $SHOP $MTCH $DIS $PDD $ $TWTR $AMZN $ZM $PLTR $BFLY $ENZC $GM $ABNB $BUZZ $PTON $TDOC $DDD $U Bitcoin Ethereum, Stellar Control the Cash balance today and position yourself accordingly.

In today's episode of compounding lifestyle, GameStop Plunges, Stock Futures Regain Some Steam, and Disney Deals Blow to Cinema Chains. GameStop shares sank more than 10% in after-hours trading after the videogame retailer posted strong but lower than expected earnings on Tuesday. But that didn't stop its wave of supportive day traders from listening to the earnings call while simultaneously posting the stock's virtues on Reddit's WallStreetBets -- once again. Global e-commerce sales surged 175%, representing 34% of net sales in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020. For the full year, global e-commerce sales increased 191%, representing nearly 30% of total net sales. The company did not offer additional guidance for fiscal 2021, citing the impact of prolonged pandemic-related store closures on comparable-store sales. Stock futures opened higher Tuesday evening to recover some losses from earlier in the day. During the regular session, the Dow dropped by more than 300 points, or about 1%, for its worst session in nearly three weeks. The S&P 500 also dipped, and the Nasdaq shed more than 1% as technology stocks added to recent declines. Many of the cyclical stocks that had led markets higher for much of the last three months underperformed, and the industrials, energy, and financials sectors lagged. Treasury yields steadied, and the benchmark 10-year yield retreated to about 1.62% from last week's high of more than 1.75%. It looks like Disney is delaying the release of five new films and a couple of highly anticipated movies are going to hit their streaming service, Disney Plus, first."Black Widow"-- we all know this is that Scarlett Johansson film-- that's going to come out on July 9 in both Disney Plus and theaters. "Cruella," that's another title going to be released on May 28 in theaters and online. And both of the films are going to be available for an additional fee to Disney Plus subscribers. So even if you have the service, not surprising you're going to have to pay a little bit more money. But you will be able to enjoy the titles from the comfort of your home. $HOFV $TSLA $AAL $BNGO $MARA $O $CRWD $FB $AAPL $FCEL $MGM $GOOGL $EZGO $SHOP $MTCH $DIS $PDD $ $TWTR $MVIS $PLTR $BFLY $HPNN $GM $ABNB $BUZZ $PTON $TDOC $DDD $U Check for Coin Base IPO share prices are $200 estimated release date is late February or early March 2021 Control the Cash balance today and position yourself accordingly.

Our first discussion today is focused around Reddit's WallStreetBets and the “meme” stock that caused a media frenzy: GameStop. What the heck happened, and where did it all go wrong? We hope you enjoy this episode today and walk away with a better understanding of what the hell went down.

This event examined what happened with GameStop's stock, the legal and regulatory implications, and what it could mean for the future of the stock market. Featured speakers include Professors Lawrence G. Baxter, Elisabeth de Fontenay, Jim Cox, Gina-Gail Fletcher, Lee Reiners, and Emily Strauss. Sponsored by the Global Financial Markets Center and the Interactive Entertainment Law Society. The saga of GameStop has attracted the attention of trading platforms, regulators and even the White House. In January, major hedge funds were betting big money against the success of GameStop in the form of short sales. But that didn't stop individual investors from taking those bets. Instead, a flood of retail investors joined forces on Reddit's WallStreetBets forum to send GameStop's stock soaring. The moves by some brokers to slow down trading in these stocks raised legitimate cries of unfairness to regular investors.

TABLE OF CONTENT TALKING POINTS Episode 331/31/2021(Host Scene)Zazz - Welcome to Table of Content. The round table show where we discuss all the happenings around streaming, gaming and entertainment. I am Zazzaboo your host and the Editor in Chief of TableOC.com. We have two great streamers here tonight ready to drop their opinions on us about the latest but first returning from Covid Quarantine Jim Dandy himself….~Welcome StumpAlso now that we are on a new channel that is un affiliated you can support the podcast by subscribing to our patreon. There is special content there for all subscribers including My personal Vlog. You can subscribe for that same $5 like you would on Twitch or if you would like to there are several higher tier subscriptions to help fund the News sight and the podcast.As always we love your support no matter if it's monetary, hate mail or just keeping us company in chatIntro guests - Rogue and TyranizamStreaming NewsTwitch council member CohhCarnage pushing for major change to bansA major streamer is speaking out over TwitchesTwitch's handling of suspensions and bans.Form Dexerto -As a member of the Twitch Safety Advisory Council, streamer Ben ‘CohhCarnage' Cassell has explained one major change he wants to make following the confusing ban of World of Warcraft streamer Mohamed ‘Ziqo' Beshir.On January 19, Ziqo revealed that he would not be streaming for a few days due to a Twitch suspension, but was clearly a bit confused by what had happened, unaware of the reason for his ban.Shortly after, Ziqo revealed that he had learned the reason for his suspension: using hateful speech and slurs, deducing himself that he believed that they were accusing him of using a homophobic slur.While the WoW veteran didn't fully understand what he must have said or done to cause the suspension, he accepted it and his account was restored on January 26. after an appeal.Saying that Ziqo's ban reversal was “great to hear,” Cohh added that the issue should have been “fixed in minutes,” calling on Twitch to “come up with policies where people given false bans get front page time for the time they lost.”He followed up saying that one huge problem is Twitch not including account managers in the process. He tweeted: “If that account manager was given the clip, he could have shown it to Ziqo. Ziqo could have said, ‘No, I didn't say that. I said this.' Problem solved.”Of course, in his role with the Twitch advisory council, fans will be hoping this means more positive changes to how bans are handled, especially with situations such as Ziqo's that seem to confuse just about everyone.Rogue- Do you think anything will become of someone like Cohh speaking out about the lack of sensible reaction by twitch on bans?Twitch slammed for failing to moderate their own channel's chatEverytime Twitch seems to make steps in the right direction they turn right around and step in it. They are once again facing backlash over TOS and chatting on the platform..From Dexerto -As part of Twitch's celebration of its community, on January 23 it held a Participation Awards to commemorate the work of their streamers and the community.The stream focused on using Twitch chat as a direct medium between the hosts and viewers. But, as the event was running, some, including partnered streamers, criticized Twitch for ineffectively moderating the messages in chat.This wasn't the only debacle from the stream. It turns out that one of the awards was inadvertently handed out to a bot account, rather than a real person.It's been a turbulent few days for the platform, as users condemned their decision to ban a 15-year-old streamer with 90,000 followers because he had made his account when he was under 13. Meanwhile, other top streamers on the platform who also made their account when under 13 have gone unpunished.Tyranizam - How does this happen? A platform that is constantly blasted for how they handle others who have things happen like this.G4 returns today on YouTube and TwitchAhead of its return later this year, G4 will air a new series called B4G4 on YouTube and Twitch. It starts streaming today (Friday, January 29th). Among other content, the series will feature comedy sketches, game reviews and music parodies, with fans getting the chance to submit their own work to the show through the G4 Reddit community. It's also one of the ways those same fans can take part in G4's online search for hosting and writing talent.G4 provided an initial look at the show in a short clip it shared on its social media channels. “It's a bit of work in progress, but that's the point,” says G4 “CEO” Jerry XL (played by YouTube sketch comedian Gus Johnson) of B4G4. “Tell us what you hate. Tell us what you love. Tell us what you'd be willing to spend your discretionary income on.”The announcement comes one day after G4 confirmed both Attack of the Show! and X-Play will return when the network officially relaunches this summer. G4 first started teasing its return last summer but has so far said little about where you'll be able to watch all of its shows. With its ties to NBCUniversal, there's been some speculation its content could land on Peacock.Stump - I am stoked about this what do you want to see from a network dedicated to our industryTech/Gaming NewsXbox Game Pass subscribers hit 18 millionIn this day and age we are subscription to death. We have to consider which subscription streaming service has the best library for us and also which razer company has the smoothest shave. Microsoft however is separating itself from the pack when it comes to subscription services.From the vergeMicrosoft is continuing to attract people to its Xbox Game Pass service. The “Netflix for video games” service now has 18 million subscribers, up from the 15 million previously reported in September. Xbox Game Pass is a subscription service that offers access to a growing selection of more than 100 Xbox games for $9.99 per month.Microsoft has been pushing Xbox Game Pass for more than a year now, and it's clear the company is heavily invested in its future.

First announced last year, History's Assembly Required released its first trailer, which feels like it could have been an ad for Home Improvement's in-show Tool Time.Both Tim Allen and Richard Karn serve as co-hosts for Assembly Required, and both are also executive produces behind the scenes. They'll be joined in hosting duties by DIY YouTube star April Wilkerson, who serves as the show's resident expert. We'll have to wait and see whether Wilkerson will become another foil for Allen's jokes, or if she'll join him in poking clever fun at Al...er, I mean Karn.The show will take place on the Set of Tool Time which Allen kept after the show wrapped.Assembly Required debuts on Tuesday, February 23, at 10:00 p.m. ET. on the history channel.Rogue - Was Home improvement a show that made the jump and were you even alive to remember it?Harry Potter TV Show Reportedly In Development For HBO MaxWhat isn't in the works at HBO. Last week we found out they were working on a second Game of thrones prequel  and now this.From the piece at screen rantA live-action Harry Potter show is reportedly in the works at HBO Max. Harry Potter became a bonafide phenomenon over the last few decades. The books, penned by J.K. Rowling, spawned eight films that directly adapted the novels. All together, the films grossed over $7 billion at the box office and have continued to be popular in syndication and at-home media.Like many established franchises, the possibilities are endless when it comes to a Harry Potter television series. The most obvious choice, and likely the one fans want the most, would be one that directly follows up the immensely popular films.A Harry Potter series would either have to follow the characters as they navigate their adult lives or it could explore the lives of their children, something Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, a play and sequel, already began to do.Tyranizam - What do you want from a Harry Potter series?Stump - What's the next movie franchise TV spinoff?
