I wonder what this will go into the economics textbooks as.

A non-violent rebellion. :getin:

It's not a pump and dump, since the growth is literally speculation that it will go up (albeit with the original instigator giving well reasoned arguments for Gamestop being highly undervalued), and not based on false information.
It's not insider trading, as the reddit and discord are public, the release of next gen consoles was known over a year in advance, and with no outstanding debt, Gamestop's survival into the new year was a given, even with many physical locations being closed.
It's not harassment, as you can't target specific hedgefunds' short positions, merely go long against all of them.

If you go long, the worst the stock can do is go to zero.

If you go short, it's entirely possible for a stock to rise far, far beyond the price you borrowed it at, for longer than your borrowing period.
