    Hey friends. thanks for watching. please note that this is a VERY simplified version of how short selling works. It's purely the concept. in real life there are all sorts of other nuanced dynamics that I didn't even scratch the surface on. but the concept remains the same and I hope this can help in some way if you are interested in understanding what's happening with the Game Stop situation. thank you all for being here. Lots more videos in the works. K bye!
  • Johnny is one of the most professional unprofessional journalists ever 🤣
  • @vishvice12
    They said 2021 will be awesome. Maybe that's why Johnny has 4 videos in like 10 days
  • @FRISHR
    The fact that a GameStop share went from $4 to $469.420 is definitely a pro gamer move.

    They be pulling a Joker here: "It's not about the money, it's about sending a message."
  • Also, hedge funds shorted more Charizard cards than were ever printed. They borrowed all the cards, sold some and then went to the people they sold to and borrowed them again, as if they were new cards, without paying back the original owners. This crazy logic is why everyone is laughing at the hedge funds that got burned.

    This was good but Johnny’s breakfast crisis was the best drama I’ve ever watched.
  • If every teacher explained the basics of topics like Johnny then I’m pretty sure kids would actually enjoy learning. Keep up the awesome content dude!
  • 0:43 “I don’t fully understand this, but I feel like I need to be a part of it” I think that’s the real reason gamestop’s stock price has gone up

    Johnny's journalism feels real. Like he's actually talking to me. Agressively.
  • Nobody can become financially successful overnight. They put in background work but we tend to see the finished part. Fear is a dangerous component, hindering us from taking the bold steps we need in other to reach our goals.
  • @redrix3269
    I payed off my parents house because of this meme. Never thought scrolling Reddit at work would have actually been productive.

    "I don't know a lot about Pokémon." Suurrree 😉
  • @IshyVideos
    "Internet Trading Mob" God damn the news is fucking hilarious
  • @DonMuffatello
    Id love to see an updated version of this once the whole gamestonk saga is over
  • @Oreioss
    I NEED A PART 2, I BELIEVE IT IS VALUABLE! xD
  • @wavedirt7946
    You need to update this for current GME situation. It gets much deeper
