But there is much more to the story than the popular narrative. In this episode, we go behind the scenes and get the real story from the Wall Street Journal's Spencer Jakab, author of the new book "The Revolution That Wasn't: GameStop, Reddit, and the Fleecing of Small Investors". We talk about what really happened and what all of us can learn from it.
We hope you enjoy the discussion.
