What Was Up When GameStop Tanked
Contra this GameStop billboard from North Dallas, lots of shareholders were selling on Tuesday, as the stock dropped 60% (Image via r/WallStreetBets).
SLV And GameStop Had Something In Common
In our last post (Silver Isn't The Next GameStop), we wrote that, unlike GameStop, the WallStreetBets crowd wasn't buying silver or silver ETFs such as SLV. In response, on Slope of Hope, our friend Tim Knight quipped,
It is, inasmuch as they are both down double-digit percentages today!
By the end of the day, SLV had trimmed its losses to single digits, down 8.3%, while GameStop had dropped a whopping 60%. One former GameStop enthusiast, the zoomer video streamer Nick Fuentes, recanted, saying it was silly to expect that buying stocks could have a populist impact.
