 Hello everyone in this video. I'd like to talk about the GameStop situation that's going on right now And I can't believe what I'm seeing. This is just I've been mulling over this the past number of days Okay, and I've been sort of thinking about that and I did want to make a video on it But I sort of just wanted to just sort of settle and collate my thoughts with it really because what's going on is Incredible. It's unbelievable. What's going on? Now I've used this picture here of a game of chess because this is literally what it feels like is going on It's a game of 3d dimensional chess to put it that way and War Street, but in particular the shortest and these individuals that are Not exactly fantastic people are Losing they are losing to retail investors and A lot of people in a lot of places are very very annoyed right now But in Kate, but in the other sense there's a lot of investors in terms of retail investors that do now feel empowered That they can actually take on Wall Street But in particular within Wall Street, yeah, they're the shortest themselves, right? You know big some some of the institutions investor institutions They're not necessarily bad by default, right? There's a lot of them that they're okay It's just these shortest that are the main problem or one of the main problems and I think that really what's happening is that they're being completely and utterly outsmarted defeated and they just can't accept it and It's interesting. Isn't it what recently happened? We'll go through it in this video and I'm just sort of going through my thoughts and I think sort of presentation style This is the sort of thing we do on this channel is we do sort of presentation style videos with with slides and stuff Do that because I'm a teacher. So that's what I'm used to doing, right? So teaching my daily life by the way, I'm not a financial advisor. I'm not an expert on the stock market I'm just another humble retail investor that's giving my thoughts on this and sharing my Interesting stocks that I like to to share as well, but this game stops the intuition of is unbelievable I've never seen anything like it. I just it just goes to show what we can do if retail investors actually stick together The first point though is what happened recently now They've they've changed this many of the apps I believe are now allowing you to trade Game stop and amongst some other stocks or be it with some restrictions But they are allowing it to happen now However, it was a point where they actually stopped people from trading stocks They stopped people from trading particular stocks that You know, for example game stop, which was being heavily shorted by institutions certain institutions not all of them but certain ones and basically the price shot up because obviously all these retail investors invested in it and trying to make sure that these shortest lose money essentially the Billionaire hedge funds lose a lot of money and many of them have lost a lot of money I think one of them has just folded on the game stop and accepted their loss on this one Which is nice to see but looking into this, you know Who do they think they are in terms of telling us what we can and can't do with our own money? At the end of the day, I think it's our decision to decide what we want to invest in and why we want to invest in it I don't think it's up to these apps to decide Where and as and dictate to us whether we can invest in a stock or not I mean, it's of our own free will the end of the day many of us are, you know, just average people, you know average individuals I'm an average individual I Teach and save money each month and put it aside to put in mind, you know Invest account sort of building that up just like many of you all out there in terms of your putting money aside So then invest, you know, this is your hard-earned cash What's it to say for these big? institutions Big tech and all the rest of it to tell you what you can and can't do with your own Hard-earned cash So I think it's just ridiculous what's happened there and the one-star reviews on the site are rightfully Accredited that of course they need those one-star reviews now the apps themselves the apps are great You know, it's given them as a facility to be able to invest more easily But I think what they've done here in particular is a big mistake. They've realized that because of what they've done They've realized that and they've actually adjusted it But still they shouldn't have done this in the first place They should not try and dictate to us what we can and can't buy on the stock market It's up to us to do that And that's not not fair at all. So it's our decision what we decide to invest in And we all have different views and all that, you know, we all you know, we invest in different stuff But the end of the day, it's our decision. It's our free will to do that and It's just an attack on basic freedoms in terms of finance in the finance sort of space there, but We have attack on freedoms in across the board to be honest, but I'll be following me want to some more of my thoughts. I've just got to say thank you for all the support on the channel I'm trying to reach 10,000 subscribers as fast as we possibly can and I just can't believe how much the channel's been growing recently in the past month or sir I've gained about 6800 subscribers in a month, which is unbelievable to me, you know I'm just a teacher and I'm buying her means and when I say I'm going to expect on the stock market I actually mean I'm nowhere near an expert I just share the stocks that I'm interested in and I share my own research that I find out on these stocks And it's up for anybody else to decide whether you know, it's up to them Whether they want to go into that and do their favorite research But you know, thank you for all the support on the channel And anything any help that you can give her in terms of subscribing Liking or sharing the video. I don't offer any courses or anything like that I don't sell thousand thousand pounds courses everything I put out on the channel is completely free Okay, I'm not selling any courses or anything like that. I just put out content. It's my hobby. I enjoy it That's what I do. So thanks for all the support on the channel moving back into my thoughts Now my problem with a lot of these short as and where I actually, you know, I don't why I don't like these short as is it Is the way that they kind of go about it. So they're short in a company and what they tend to put out is, you know Misinformation disingenuous reports, you know, they kind of twist the information to their obviously or to their advantage And and they're short the company to me that sounds just incredibly Unethical and wrong and I can understand why people are really Annoyed at what they do and I can understand why this has happened in all honesty I believe that this has been a long time coming. I'm surprised that we haven't done this more often You know earlier because of what's what's happened here. It's just a long time coming I can't believe and some of the is some of the entitlement of these individuals that are shorting companies That these really powerful individuals shorting companies You know, the how the apps really surprised that really surprised that was retail investors They're not just gonna continue to take it anymore. So we actually stood up to them and And then now they're so surprised and that they you know, like it's ridiculous, right? So it's just so wrong what they're doing and it's it's unethical Now what we notice now is and what we've recognized is that retail investors us The little guys now sure that we can stand up to the the powerful the rich And all the rest of it we can stand up to them as little guys as little investors The retail investors can stand up to these big institutions these these short as in particular of those institutions And and we can stand up and show how powerful we are actually we are as as well and I mean more and more people are getting involved in investing again and particularly retail investors and I think how technologies has advanced Over the years has made it so much more easier for retail investors to get involved You know, there's so much more accessibility of information of stocks that could go go well and Information overall right because of the rise of technology, which has just helped out retail investors even further no longer is it big institutions and the powerful short as that have all the Available resources to find the information we now have the ability to find the research information ourselves And really make the right decisions, right? So the facts that we've stood up to these individuals They're just showed us that retail investors are becoming more powerful And I think that this is the only the start of it. So it's fantastic. What's going on? And I really do commend what's going on in that sense So those are just my thoughts on that So if you're new to the channel do subscribe and also Ten the notification bell on for any stock news and updates and research we do and Appreciate everybody for the continued support again.
