hello, this is bbc news. the headlines:

chanting: shame on you! the head of the met police says she does not intend to resign and welcomes a review into the police�*s handling of last night's vigil for sarah everard. i don't think anybody who was not in the operation can actually pass a detailed comment on the rightness and wrongness of it. you know, this is fiendishly difficult policing. but criticism of the police has been swift from across the political spectrum and those who attended the vigil. authorities in the republic of ireland recommend temporarily suspending use of the astrazeneca vaccine, after a report of four new cases of blood clotting incidents in adults who'd had the jab in norway. the foreign secretary makes another call for the immediate release of british—iranian nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe, after she faces new allegations of anti—government propaganda in court. and it's the music industry's

biggest awards night of the year — the grammys. they're being held at a virtual ceremony in los angeles. now on bbc news, james clayton meets the investors who made a fortune trading from their bedrooms, the tech supremos who were watching on astonished and the hedge fund giants nursing their losses. there's this narrative that this was a david and goliath story. it's all of these hedge funds, like yours, against the people — and the people won. i'll put it this way. if a 5—year—old walked into this room right now, i could probably kick his ass. if 1,000 5—year—olds walked in here, they could probably take me down. just being honest about it. is that a david versus goliath story? uh, you know — no! something happened this january that no—one expected. it was a little bit like an internet revolution. we were team human, team normal, regular guy.

it's united capitalists... it's like this focal point, a paradigm shift for everything that's gone on for the last few hundred years on wall street. ..socialists. .. if there was a smaller chance that i could have a direct impact on ruining some billionaire's life, i wanted in on it. ..and youtubers. so how much did you make? um, $40,000-ish? the idea that an internet forum could take a failing company and by collectively investing in it, or to use the parlance, "taking it to the moon," take on hedge funds and win, seemed impossible. houston, if that's not the earth, we're in trouble! but was this really a people's revolution? this is not a david—versus—goliath story, but more of a goliath—versus—goliath story.

the gamestop story is the story of its investors, and we'll be telling it through the experiences of three amateurs in california who all buy and sell their shares using trading apps. gavin may, a 19—year—old youtube star, parkour enthusiast and amateur online trading guru. do you sometimes wonder why people listen to a 19—year—old who's been trading for, like, six months? yeah, no, totally. that's definitely a very valid question. john motter, who works for a homeless charity. he blames big finance for some of la's housing problems. have you ever bought any shares before? no. first time? first time. and casper and matt who run a social media marketing company. i'm a gambling guy and i really believed in the power of memes and i put my money where my mouth is.

a year ago, gamestop to many was a business slowly dying. it sells physical games at an actual shop, and many on wall street thought that that business model wasn't just outdated, it was prehistoric. a business doomed to fail. its share price this time last year was around the $3 mark. over the summer, though, a few investors began to proselytise about gamestop. people like the then—obscure youtuber, keith gill, roaringkitty. many think it's a foolish investment, but everyone�*s wrong! they argued that far from being dead in the water, gamestop had potential. gamestop is an established, uniquely—positioned player in a thriving $150 billion gaming industry. one group in particular was listening.

an internet message board called wallstreetbets. so could you just describe to someone who's never been on wallstreetbets, roughly what the culture is? yeah, i mean... it's hard to do it without, um, without using offensive terms, but it is veryjuvenile, very subconsciously absurdist. their favourite thing to do is something called "loss porn," where you share your biggest losses. and everyone will be like, "hey, man, goodjob!" like, "you lost $1 million, goodjob, man!" sort of the nature of the sub is, like, riskier bets. _ i can't tell, like, what's| a meme and what isn't. but all those meme posts are feeding into the larger goal of getting - as many people to buy stocks as possible. - slowly, gamestop started to get a buzz, and gradually the share price began to tick up.

this is the first official close above $14, so cheers to that shit! so i first read about gamestop through the subreddit, wallstreetbets. i think the first time i bought in was late november to early december. i think the stock price was around $16 back then. gamestop�*s share price had attracted the attention of another kind of investor — short sellers. hedge funds that thought gamestop was overpriced. hedge funds like citron capital, founded and run by this man, andrew left. to me it looked like they were following the blockbuster video path. and then all of a sudden we found out in december, while the industry was actually up — the video game industry had their best month ever, december of 2020 — gamestop actually had a bad quarter, ora bad month. they were declining, and that was supposed to be their saviour month. and that's when i started to short the stock. left�*s hedge fund was now one of the many hedge funds that were shorting gamestop. essentially, they were betting

that the share price would fall. if it did, they would make money. but that had also been noticed by people on wallstreetbets. gamestop happened to be one of the names that was most frequently shorted. they'd worked out that if gamestop�*s share price went up, hedge funds would lose money. and many users on the platform came up with a theory that went like this. if enough of us were to buy together, in conjunction, could we create a short squeeze which would force some of these hedge funds who are betting against gamestop to close out their position by buying gamestop back, and therefore pushing the price of gamestop even higher? wallstreetbets is a forum on san francisco—based reddit, one of the biggest social media companies in the world. and watching on was its chief executive and founder, steve huffman. i've known about

wallstreetbets for years. wallstreetbets is in fact one of my guilty pleasures on reddit. was there a point where you were like, huh, this is a bigger story than i thought? 0n wallstreetbets, there's often a couple of stocks or companies that have their attention. and so over the years, it's been tesla, it's been virgin galactic, it's been blackberry. and so in my mind i'm just browsing reddit, gamestop, 0k, gamestop�*s got their infatuation right now. so i was actually a little bit late to the party. i didn't realise reddit had leaked into the real world again. so it was really at the take—off of the mania, i was like, 0k, this is a bigger one. by mid—january the price of gamestop shares was nearly $30, a tenfold increase from eight months before. it was about to go stratospheric.

i got the champagne. cheers, congratulations, look at this shit! look at this shit, 60%! when did you start thinking, oh, dear — something's happening here? well, i was about to go do a twitter live feed. and i think like 150,000 people would sign on in the first few minutes. remember that line from jaws — "i think i need a bigger boat!" it's about this point when gamestop shares truly took off. ridiculous, ridiculous. ridiculous, argh! i remember that day. i think we opened at, like, $39 and at the peak of the day it was $76. watching this chart gives me heart problems, i swear to god. we both bought between, what, $70 or $80? around there. newsreel: gamestop had another wild day of trading. _ and it was ridiculous. we were texting each other all night. there was a couple of good mornings... a couple of really good mornings, yeah! newsreel: gamestop isn't stopping.

fuelled by social media, i the video game company... all the money you had in the world was doubled? yeah, crazy. in just a few hours? completely crazy. and that was only, like, the first of five days of craziness. gamestop was going to the moon. the price was going up and up and up. there's more and more activity, more and more news, more and more attention. newsreel: the video game retailer hit a high of $380 a share... - gamestop was now in uncharted waters. its share price had increased by 100 times since march. we have gamestop hitting $300 and $350, and there was even an after hours session when the market was closed, but you know, especially large institutions can still trade, where it hit $450! i bought in at around $330, a first share. so i was a latecomer. word got out there was a good chance the hedge funds and billionaires that got greedy, and bought those enormous short

positions, were going to be completely ruined over this. and so, even if there was a smaller chance that i could have a direct impact on ruining some billionaire's life, i wanted in on it. steve huffman was looking on. he had the power to switch wallstreetbets off. was there any pressure on you to maybe lock down wallstreetbets? we faced that question, that literal question — is there pressure, should you do something? but our motivation, or what we were trying to do, our duty in the situation was actually the opposite, to keep wallstreetbets online. so we did take a closer look here, but really, we were making sure the community didn't break. because a lot of people were coming to reddit for that experience. with reddit keeping wallstreetbets up, it now seemed unstoppable. can i ask how much you lost in total?

no, i mean... i think the fund was down approximately, i don't even know... 18%, 19% —18%, possibly. how much is that in cash terms? i won't discuss that. that figure is certainly in the millions, and likely the tens of millions. but then, something happened. 0ne but then, something happened. one of the biggest trading apps in san francisco made a crucial decision. it and other trading apps were happy for people to cell first macro shares, but the stricter people from buying them. == shares, but the stricter people from buying them-— shares, but the stricter people from bu inuthem. ,, , ., , ., buying them. -- gamestop shows. now the ma'ori buying them. -- gamestop shows. now the majority of — buying them. -- gamestop shows. now the majority of people _ buying them. -- gamestop shows. now the majority of people could _ buying them. -- gamestop shows. now the majority of people could not - buying them. -- gamestop shows. now the majority of people could not buy - the majority of people could not buy the majority of people could not buy the stock. the the majority of people could not buy the stock. . . the stock. the chief executive testified to _ the stock. the chief executive testified to congress - the stock. the chief executive testified to congress they - the stock. the chief executive l testified to congress they have the stock. the chief executive -

precautionary. if this was a revelation, it was one that had its casualties. investors that reach for the moon and did not quite make it. hello. after a real battering in the last week with strong winds across the uk and low pressure in charge of everything, the week ahead brings us a different story. lighter winds certainly initially, and a tale of high pressure trying to make its way across us. it's not an entirely straightforward story, however. there will be some weather fronts running into the north of our area of high pressure and just how that area of high pressure builds will govern what things look and feel like through the remainder of the week. overnight, the tail end of a weather

front brings some showery rain into parts of england and wales. across scotland and northern ireland, clear skies and light winds — a frost here to start us off on monday. a bit more cloud getting into the west will keep the temperatures up in northern ireland through the small hours. we will see some rain here through monday morning. elsewhere, some sunshine to start the day and then rain getting into wales and the south west by lunchtime and cloud generally building from the west as the hours go by. eastern counties keeping the sunshine, i think, there until the evening. lighter winds across the board. temperatures, around average or slightly above for the time of year. we could see up to 13 in the south—east of england. now, through monday evening and overnight into tuesday, that band of cloud and rain which is this warm weather front will work its way eastwards across the uk and a cold weather front follows in behind it. don't be too concerned though by the name "cold front" because actually, we're still originating some fairly mild air from the atlantic. so the temperatures won't fall away too sharply. we start the day with the cloud

and rain across england and wales but much brighter by the afternoon, and a fairly healthy array of temperatures widely in the lower end of double figures. it's from midweek onwards though that we have to keep a close eye on what this high does next. looks like it'll build quite well across the uk, but this low that dives down into the continent leaves us with a northerly or north—easterly airstream — the milder air sitting to the west of the uk. our temperatures won't look too bad on into wednesday but come thursday and friday as that northerly or north—easterly establishes itself, we will see our temperatures falling away but also, the strength of the wind will add a significant wind—chill. so, i think colder for all of us again by the end of the week and some quite strong gusty winds for easterly reaches.
