Then, let's take a closer look at the story of US game stop stocks that were just published in the report.

Game Stop is a video game distributor with stores throughout the United States.

However, the stock price of an ordinary company soared more than 1,700% this year alone, and fell 44% in a day.

As individual investors intensively bought this stock at the news that the company's stock price is expected to fall and the short selling force is moving, the stock price has fluctuated significantly, as shown earlier.

As a result of this incident, even voices have been raised that the US should ban short selling.
