This entire GME WSB thing is a bunch of people wanting to feel important. That's why there's so much high-and-mighty talk even though the facts of the matter are..pretty boring.

The facts are supremely boring. Fund gets caught with bad luck. Fund blows up. Life goes on.

Even the amount of billions being transferred here are not interesting.

It stops being boring when brokers start directly interfering with the volume by changing what traders are allowed to do in the middle of a trading day.
I'd say this is a vast oversimplification of the situation, don't you agree?
