This week we follow up on or episode last week covering what the Gamestop short squeeze was all about. Are hedge funds naked shorting stocks? How margin accounts cause risk to brokerage firms like Robinhood. Why didn’t Gamestop do a secondary offering selling shares when the price was high? Why short sellers don’t ruin companies outright.
