Reddit referenced the recent GameStop stock market frenzy in a new 5-second Super Bowl spot that needed to be paused to read. “One thing we learned from our communities last week is that underdogs can accomplish just about anything when they come together around a common idea,” read the brief message to viewers.
“Who knows, you might be the reason finance textbooks need to add a chapter on ‘trends’.” a battle between short sellers and an informal group of amateur investors who have joined forces via the r / WallStreetBets subreddit.
