#257: GameStop, Regulation Inadequacies, and the SEC

Cellar Door Skeptics Podcast

With the previous week behind us and the whiplash all but past, the team looks into the recent GameStop locomotive that people are getting behind as a way to make money. The new craze that has hit the world like Bitcoin did, has some serious ramifications for those who want to play stock market roulette. This opens the door for the show to investigate what went into this craze, what is happening now, if Biden’s new team will change their corporate ways, and if other countries exhibit similar behavior. The show contains the usual segments Answering Conserviative Questions and the Quick Save Segments.
