Abstract
The last few weeks have been a hectic (or dare-I-say volatile) time for traders. During the month of January, GameStop’s stock has astronomically soared from $18, reaching a peak as high as $483 per share. The “group” responsible for this meteoric rise are the members of the Reddit forum page named “r/wallstreetbets,” which is a forum dedicated to trading. This forum, also called a “subreddit,” is well known for its use of horribly vulgar language and their users’ willingness to engage in far riskier bets than the average citizen that trades would invest in.
