They can boost its stocks all they like but I doubt it'll ever stand a chance against Amazon, Steam, etc when it comes to actual business. Especially during a time when GameStop stores may not be open or available at full capacity due to restrictions in many places on the globe while other, online alternatives are readily available rain or shine.
I don’t think it was about which was a good investment, as a firm called Melvin Capital had shorted the GameStop stock, which is why they skyrocketed the price so Melvin would lose big bucks on it (something along the lines of that)
it's only a trend and not gonna last for the long term

I agree, I doubt it'll have a happy ending. Reminds me somewhat of the rampant speculation that contributed to the 1929 market crash, but on a far smaller scale.
I'm no economist though.
Yup, it's going to end up like Kodak later.
Hiya 🤣😌
oh this reddit thing.
someone behind the scene is pulling the strings to trap some idiots, that's all.

Hugo Chavez!

Chavez! First he steals the election postmortally and now this! Someone outta stop the magical bastard!
Sadly, yet another confirmation that I was right when I wrote here that the entire election was about one and only one thing: democracy. American Conservative magazine is now openly advocating for a right-wing dictatorship: https://www.theamericanconservative.com/articles/waiting-for-our-salazar/
Several years ago, before Trump even start running, I had an uncomfortable feeling that given a choice between a social democracy and a capitalist oligarchy, a lot of my fellow (not anymore) Republicans would choose the latter. So there we are. At no point since the failure of the Pickett's charge has the survival of the American experiment been so much in doubt.
It's not just intellectuals in opinion magazines - party leaders too. It takes literally just seconds to see how far the party has fallen since 1984: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ac8ZTHQpdg (8 seconds) and https://twitter.com/SenMikeLee/status/1314089207875371008 (however long it takes to read one tweet). BTW I've been to Pointe du Hoc and can confirm the "windswept" part of the speech. Essentially, just ten words: from "Democracy is worth dying for" to "Democracy isn't the objective". Screw that. The GOP must be burnt to the ground and then rebuilt.
It disturbs me and I haven't even opened it. Simply reading the title "Waiting for our Salazar" is disgusting. The way that people whitewash that man. Most of my family up until my father lived under Salazar's rule and it was terrible from what I hear. The infrastructure and education system was garbage, the country was extremely impoverished outside of the major cities(the Portuguese escudo was worth almost nothing I believe), conscription was mandatory, often to fight in Portugal's Vietnam War in Africa, and saying anything bad about the government would land people in jail, or worse. To top it off, the man was an incompetent leader whose only been praised for his country's role in founding NATO and outward non-belligerent yet vaguely pro-ally status during the second World War. Rumor has it that he made an agreement with Hitler during the war that if Germany invaded, he'd do nothing in exchange for some large amount of money, as well.

Well, giving the Allies a vital airbase on the Azores for anti-submarine warfare was more than "vaguely pro-ally", but other than that, I can't think of anything good to say about Salazar. But some conservative intellectuals now support "integralism". And Salazar's Portugal is much easier to whitewash as an respectable example than Vichy France. A headline "Waiting for our Petaine" just does not have the same ring. Even thought Republican acceptance of Russian interference in our elections suggests that they don't mind emulating Petaine either.

You can select four per day. I don't think you can get them any faster than that.
Indeed, Estado Novo era Portugal isn't very well known, certainly not as well known as the Nazis, Francoist Spain or Vichy France, so chances are that the majority of people don't actually know what kind of rule he exerted on the nation or who he is in more detail than "Portugal's 'benevolent' dictator", making it easier for them to eat this stuff up.
honestly, i think it's just natural (but not necessarily the correct way) that capitalist oligarchy which then transforms to dictatorship is the most "human" subconscious preference for governance.
after all, monarchies exist for thousands of years, it dies, it rises..
even the Phoenicians, who were the most democratic capitalistic society of ancient world (pre-roman, because roman times were classical era, not ancient.) were eventually evolved into plutocracy. it then broken up into several nation states which were invaded by bigger, stronger monarchies.
hell, even my island at one point in history had a democratic egalitarian matriarchy, which then evolved into a plutocracy which one of the senior queen was married to a monarch from the north then the matriarchy was completely absorbed into the monarchy.
my point is; there is no point of defending a system. defend yourself and fellow men who you trust. because everyone wants to be a king but no one is a king without enough consent from other men.
NGRA, Republica jim, Ancapaland69, and Free indian states
Yes, that's what a lot of them want because they want to give as little money as possible for the upkeep of a civilized society and to have as few obstacles to their further enrichment as possible.
But you are not one and unlikely to ever become one. So for you democracy is the only way to have a say in the governance of your society. And it's also beneficial to you economically since it generally means more competition and innovation. That's why oligarch (and wannabe oligarchs) tend to make an alliance with social conservatives (who also can't get what they want in a democracy) in order to broaden their base of support and increase the share of the population who consider their rule beneficial.
