On Wednesday, Erlich posted about it in another Reddit forum, which are known as sub credits. I actually made a post on a different Subreddit called the People versus Goliath, because that's what I saw this as in Michigan's Upper peninsula. Realtor Lucas Davis was all in. He, too, saw the stunt in lofty terms. Parallels along with, you know Teddy Roosevelt ended up doing Bring down in all the monopolies back in the 19 tens. That's one interpretation. But there is another side to this. Wall Street investors reported receiving nasty and harassing online attacks. One even said his Children were threatened. Davidson didn't engage in any of that. But he did post a MIM in the group, saying members want to quote Bring down the hedge funds. This is a great way to stick it to these people, and then, when they realized they can also stand to profit off of it. They think that's absolutely delicious. In Colorado, Erlich agrees, seeing the action as a reddit uprising of sorts. But he admits that his own game stop investment was in part fueled by a desire for quick cash, He says many in the group might just get away with a nice profit. Maybe they're not going to become millionaires this week, but they might like some thousands of dollars they otherwise would never have had. Losing lots of money is a very good possibility, too.
