The battle for the shares of the gaming chain Gamestop shakes the financial system.
A huge swarm of small investors who don't care about the rules and want revenge bet against established hedge funds.
A generation conflict.
A drama.
And the birth of a new power.
The majority consists of members of the "Generation Z" or millennials. They are poorer than previous generations their age, have higher student loans, poorer prospects and know that the welfare promises of yesteryear no longer apply to them. In addition to the oldest employees, they are hardest hit by the Corona crisis. The gamestop action may be crazy, a financial market chasing from one record to the next in the midst of an economic and social crisis is even more insane.
