The GME Saga

In January 2021, a group of retail traders on Reddit's WallStreetBets did the unthinkable — they took on billion-dollar hedge funds and won. GameStop, a struggling video game retailer, became the most talked-about stock on the planet. The short squeeze sent GME from $17 to $483 in weeks. Melvin Capital lost billions.

This theme package covers every twist, from the original DD posts to the aftermath that reshaped market regulations.
