Yes, now you see the idiocy in this entire thread.
No. This is a very sophomoric explanation.
Hedge fund a-holes shorted the stock ... they only make money if it goes down and they expect it to go down. They “promise” to buy it, they plan to buy it low.
The Reddit geeks bought the stock and drove up the stock. The hedge fund a-holes had to buy high, geeks sold off to hedge fund a-holes.
I'm the first PP and I've been reading a bit more from links on this thread (thanks). So to answer my question about risk to the Redditors ... the plan is for the Redditors to sell to the Wall Street folks who shorted the stock (because they have to buy) and nobody is out money? This makes sense if there are more WS buyers than actual shares, which is what I've read.

You’re an idiot. Corporations hate their short sellers. This was a massive favor to GME.

PP again, by "nobody out money" I of course mean the Redditors, not the hedge funds which are obviously out some money.
