a <a href="/wiki/Short_squeeze" title="Short squeeze">short squeeze</a> of the <a href="/wiki/Stock" title="Stock">stock</a> of the American video game retailer <a href="/wiki/GameStop" title="GameStop">GameStop</a> and other <a href="/wiki/Security_(finance)" title="Security (finance)">securities</a> took place, causing major financial consequences for certain <a href="/wiki/Hedge_fund" title="Hedge fund">hedge funds</a> and large losses for <a href="/wiki/Short_(finance)" title="Short (finance)">short sellers</a>. Approximately 140 percent of GameStop's <a href="/wiki/Public_float" title="Public float">public float</a> had been sold short, and the rush to buy shares to cover those positions as the price rose caused it to rise even further. The short squeeze was initially and primarily triggered by users of the <a href="/wiki/Subreddit" class="mw-redirect" title="Subreddit">subreddit</a> <a href="/wiki/R/wallstreetbets" title="R/wallstreetbets">r/wallstreetbets</a>, an <a href="/wiki/Internet_forum" title="Internet forum">Internet forum</a> on the <a href="/wiki/Social_news_website" title="Social news website">social news website</a> <a href="/wiki/Reddit" title="Reddit">Reddit</a>, although a number of hedge funds also participated. At its height, on January 28, the short squeeze caused the retailer's stock price to reach a <a href="/wiki/Pre-market_and_after-hours_trading" class="mw-redirect" title="Pre-market and after-hours trading">pre-market value</a> of over <a href="/wiki/United_States_dollar" title="United States dollar">US$</a>500 per <a href="/wiki/Share_(finance)" title="Share (finance)">share</a> ($125 split-adjusted), nearly 30 times the $17.25 valuation at the beginning of the month. The price of many other heavily shorted securities and <a href="/wiki/Cryptocurrencies" class="mw-redirect" title="Cryptocurrencies">cryptocurrencies</a> also increased. On January 28, some <a href="/wiki/Brokerages" class="mw-redirect" title="Brokerages">brokerages</a>, particularly app-based brokerage services such as <a href="/wiki/Robinhood_(company)" class="mw-redirect" title="Robinhood (company)">Robinhood</a>, halted the buying of GameStop and other securities, citing the next day their inability to post sufficient <a href="/wiki/Collateral_(finance)" title="Collateral (finance)">collateral</a> at <a href="/wiki/Clearing_(finance)#Securities_and_derivatives_clearing" title="Clearing (finance)">clearing</a> houses to execute their clients' orders. This decision attracted criticism and accusations of <a href="/wiki/Market_manipulation" title="Market manipulation">market manipulation</a> from prominent politicians and businesspeople from across the political spectrum. Dozens of <a href="/wiki/Class_action" title="Class action">class action</a> lawsuits have been filed against Robinhood in U.S. courts, and the <a href="/wiki/United_States_House_Committee_on_Financial_Services" title="United States House Committee on Financial Services">U.S. House Committee on Financial Services</a> held a <a href="/wiki/United_States_congressional_hearing" title="United States congressional hearing">congressional hearing</a> on the incident. The unusually high price and volatility continued after the peak in late January. On February 24, the GameStop stock price doubled within a 90-minute period, and then averaged in the neighborhood of $200 per share for another month. On March 24, the GameStop stock price fell 34 percent to $120.34 per share after earnings were released and the company announced plans for issuing a new secondary stock offering. On March 25, the stock recovered dramatically, rising by 53 percent. <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Background">Background</h2></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Short_selling_and_short_squeezes">Short selling and short squeezes</h3></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1236090951">.mw-parser-output .hatnote{font-style:italic}.mw-parser-output div.hatnote{padding-left:1.6em;margin-bottom:0.5em}.mw-parser-output .hatnote i{font-style:normal}.mw-parser-output .hatnote+link+.hatnote{margin-top:-0.5em}@media print{body.ns-0 .mw-parser-output .hatnote{display:none!important}}</style><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main articles: <a href="/wiki/Short_(finance)" title="Short (finance)">Short (finance)</a> and <a href="/wiki/Short_squeeze" title="Short squeeze">Short squeeze</a></div> <a href="/wiki/Short_selling" class="mw-redirect" title="Short selling">Short selling</a> is a finance practice in which an investor, known as the short-seller, borrows shares and immediately sells them, in the hope that they will be able to buy them back later ("covering") at a lower price, return the borrowed shares (plus interest) to the lender, and profit off the difference. The practice carries an unlimited risk of losses, because there is no inherent limit to how high a stock's price can rise should the short-seller be proven wrong in their belief that the stock price was going to fall. This is in contrast with taking a <a href="/wiki/Long_(finance)" title="Long (finance)">long</a> position (simply owning the stock), where the investor's loss is limited to the cost of their initial investment.<a href="#cite_note-1">[1]</a><a href="#cite_note-2">[2]</a> Short sellers are exposed to a risk of <a href="/wiki/Short_squeeze" title="Short squeeze">short squeezing</a>, which occurs when the shorted stock jumps in value because, for instance, there is a sudden piece of favorable news. Short sellers are then forced to buy back the stock they had initially sold, in an effort to keep their losses from mounting. The market demand they create by purchasing the stock to cover their short positions further raises the price of the shorted stock, thus triggering more short sellers to cover their positions by buying the stock. This can result in a cascade of stock purchases and an even bigger jump of the share price.<a href="#cite_note-WSJ_151205-3">[3]</a><a href="#cite_note-FT_210125-4">[4]</a><a href="#cite_note-VoxGameStopExplosion-5">[5]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="GameStop">GameStop</h3></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:GameStop_(14666287269).jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/51/GameStop_%2814666287269%29.jpg/220px-GameStop_%2814666287269%29.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="147" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/51/GameStop_%2814666287269%29.jpg/330px-GameStop_%2814666287269%29.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/51/GameStop_%2814666287269%29.jpg/440px-GameStop_%2814666287269%29.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2455" data-file-height="1645" /></a><figcaption>A <a href="/wiki/GameStop" title="GameStop">GameStop</a> store in 2014</figcaption></figure> <a href="/wiki/GameStop" title="GameStop">GameStop</a>, an American chain of <a href="/wiki/Brick-and-mortar" class="mw-redirect" title="Brick-and-mortar">brick-and-mortar</a> video game stores, had struggled in the years leading up to the short squeeze due to competition from <a href="/wiki/Digital_distribution" title="Digital distribution">digital distribution</a> services, as well as the economic effects of the <a href="/wiki/COVID-19_pandemic" title="COVID-19 pandemic">COVID-19 pandemic</a>, which reduced the number of people who shopped in-person.
