These 24 memes about stonks are more inflated than the Gamestop stock price
That’s some economonomomonics
A bunch of Reddit users has driven up the stock price of Gamestop (bit on the nose, isn’t it) because they saw hedge funds buying shares to short sell them. This is, what Reddit users probably like to call, a major cuck move. They have cucked the hedge fund and they intend to keep cucking them by banding together to drive the share price up until it crashes. This is, objectively, not very funny. Because I don’t know if you’ve done an Economics degree, but as someone who has, I can tell you that Economics is not a very funny subject. It is actually decidedly unfunny and you fall asleep in lectures a lot and your mates take pictures of you asleep in lectures because that’s the only funny thing about economics lectures.
However, in this instance, the unique combo of stonks, Gamestop and Reddit users have forged to create some truly brilliant memes. It’s divine. It’s bullish. Or bearish. I actually never learned what those mean. Anyway. I come to you on this chilly Thursday morning to show you my collection of 34 Gamestop stock market memes, and you have come to look upon them, because none of us having anything better to do. J’adore.
1. Rob Delaney can’t buy his boat 🙁 guess you’d call that a SUNK cost haha economics jokes x
I appreciate that the GameStop stuff is “funny” to some of you but I had planned to buy my wife a (modest) boat for Valentine’s Day & now I can’t & I’m going to have to work up the courage to ask my dad to loan me the money. This was NOT on my 2021 bingo card.
