You try to be greedy when others are fearful. And you try to be fearful when others are greedy.\u2014 Warren BuffettFirst of all \/wallstreetbets or short \/wsb it a reddit online community of young self-ironic traders. They call themself autistic and usually post big losses and large gains from their investments and other memes. They don\u2019t invest on a sustainable long-term way, they are trading with very large risks and they know it. That\u2019s why they call their trades YOLO trades. But instead of what the most media says, not all of them are complete beginners, a lot of them just gamble with small amounts.The boom of new easy-to-use trading apps accelerated the growth of the community. But the biggest growth happened in the last week, where a lot of new users joined the community to participate in the short squeeze, reaching 4.6 million users.GameStop is a struggling, kind of boring, mid-size retailer stuck in a legacy business \u2014 selling physical video games. But it\u2019s also pretty much the only company anyone on Wall Street is talking about right now after its stock rose 160% in a matter of hours on Monday morning to an all-time high of $159. (By day\u2019s end, GameStop\u2019s price had been cut by more than half, but that still left it up more than 300% this year and almost 3,000% from its 52-week low. And it was up another 15% at Tuesday\u2019s open.)But that\u2019s only the beginning. While the stock price rose, hedge funds and other big players started to short GameStop even more. Shorting in general is not necessarily a bad thing. Short sellers profit from overvalued companies or extreme hypes, where they basically sell stocks they don\u2019t own\u2026<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u6211\u5c06\u544a\u8bc9\u60a8\u5728\u534e\u5c14\u8857\u81f4\u5bcc\u7684\u79d8\u5bc6\u3002\u5f53\u5176\u4ed6\u4eba\u611f\u5230\u6050\u60e7\u65f6\uff0c\u60a8\u5c1d\u8bd5\u53d8\u5f97\u8d2a\u5a6a\u3002\u548c\u4f60<span class=\"excerpt-hellip\"> [\u2026]<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":2796,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[35],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/afluxcoin.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3463"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/afluxcoin.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/afluxcoin.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/afluxcoin.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3463"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/afluxcoin.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3463\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/afluxcoin.com\/zh\/wp-json\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/afluxcoin.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3463"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/afluxcoin.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3463"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/afluxcoin.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3463"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
