After bubbling to the surface of trending topics last week, Gamestop stock became the only thing anyone could talk about this week, as a collective of savvy market watchers on /r/WallStreetBets upturned the entire stock market by going all-in on the struggling video game retailer as well as other companies thought to be on death's door.

For those who still don't understand what's going on, /r/WallStreetBets users saw hedge funds were short-selling Gamestop stock on the bet that the price would go down; when they had to buy the stock back, they would get it for a lesser price than they borrowed it for and pocket the profit. But as everyone in /r/WallStreetBets started buying stock in Gamestop to force a short squeeze, the stock soared out of control as panicked hedge funds closed their Gamestop shares and hemorrhaged money and Redditors made a killing.

This led to multiple brokerages limiting the traders' ability to trade with the volatile stocks, which many viewed as an affront to the supposed free market, setting up a "little guy" vs. "bigwig" narrative that's dominated the conversation the past few days.

All caught up? Good. Now lets get into some dang memes already.
