Reddittors vs Wall Street

[Bird on a Fire]

No, they were trying to kill it with aggressive short positions and media publications.

Buying shares stopped the company going bankrupt, which would probably have resulted in job losses.

Let me check: do you know that when shares in a company are bought and sold on the open market, the company itself doesn't receive any of the money that changes hands?

Yes, I'm aware there's not a direct link between stock price and a company's fortunes. (I never gave it much thought, but lpm explained well upthread.)

Nevertheless, from the little I've seen (and even less I've probably understood) the change in stock price, and reprieve from imminent insolvency, has allowed GameStop to change its fortunes somewhat. At least, those things seem to have co-occurred, though the importance of what redditors did is perhaps overstated according to the SEC report summarised in the Bloomberg article I posted.

I’m not a Tesla cheerleader, but you need to realise that unlike other car makers Tesla is also in energy in a big way, so dividing their stock value by the number of cars they sell isn’t really fair. How much of the company value is in cars vs other ventures I’m not sure.

Teslas stock price is f.cking b.llsh.t

It has more than doubled its revenues in two years

Whoopie f.cking do

So only say 5 more years of doubling revenue every year and the current value will be justified.
