Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), who has long billed herself as an enemy of Wall Street, is urging the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to review the recent surge in stock for video game retail company GameStop that was spurred by an online Reddit community.
This week, the prices of GameStop, Blockbuster, Koss, Blackberry, and Nokia all shot up as a struggle escalated between retail investors many inspired by a Reddit board called r/WallStreetBets and a YouTuber going by the handle Roaring Kitty and hedge funds that short those stocks. Some of the Redditors believed Wall Street had undervalued the companies, especially GameStop. At least some of the hedge funds were squeezed out of their short positions, forced to buy shares to cover their shorts when the price rose sharply. That buying helped push the prices up even more.
