something to do with game stop, ailing chain of retail stores that sell video games, for no discernible reason, stocks shot up hundreds of percent in number of days. allow me to present the explanation. you know the formula for making money in the stock market, right? buy low, sell high. but it's also possible to make money when stock goes down. it's called shorting a stock, betting that the company stock will fall. it's a little complicated but the basics are like this. when stock is high, borrow shares from your brokerage and then you sell them. technically you still owe the shares to the brokerage, so wait for the price of the stock to go down, buy them back for much less money. return the shares to your brokerage and you just made money. unless of course the price of the stock went up in the meantime, in that case, you're in trouble. wall street doesn't like game

stop much, after all, who is buying video games in a physical store anymore? so hedge funds had shorteded g stop, bet against it. then last week, they met their match. >> if you look at reddit, the forum wall street bets, more than 2 million subscribers. dozens of forums with posters encouraging each other to push costs higher. >> want to take risks and make money. >> started wall street bets forum on reddit.com in 2012, amateur investors talk about quick stock bets. tend to be snarky, funny and reckless. >> not looking at it as i'm going to lose money but purchasing the possibility of making money with nonrefundable ticket. >> reporter: last week the amateur investors began to buy up game stop stock, egging each
