Asking David's Dad A Personal Question

Well, we're recording this a little earlier, so the numbers could be completely off, but as of the moment we're recording this one segment about GameStop, um, so it basically— what happened is the stock was kind of coasting at like $16 to $19 for like whatever the last couple months, and then people on Reddit decided like, hey, wouldn't it be funny or fun if we like all bought GameStop and we drove up the price and we made it like a popular stock? Because GameStop, you know, it's not like a fucking boom in store. So they drove it up to from like $19 in like a day to like $90. What? In one day. And then everybody was like, you gotta buy GameStop, you gotta buy GameStop, it's fucking killing it. And then today it went up from like $90 to like $150. And then right after the market closed, which was today, it went up to $209. So it currently sits at $209 right now. Wow, isn't that fucking insane? Like $209, it was, it was at like $12 a little while ago, and my manager Jack texted me that some guy had $50,000 worth of it. Yeah, like before. Yeah, before he— when it was like $12 or $14. Now it's worth $15 million. What? Oh my god. Saying it's just like fucking winning the lottery. Like, it's like the craziest fucking thing. Bed Bath Beyond, that's another one. They're just picking random like stocks to like really amp up. Yeah, and we're missing— it's fucking pissing me off, bro. I'm getting so angry because I hate stocks. I'm so bad at it.
