Super interesting how so many people on HN seem to have a more negative sentiment towards GameStop and its CEO than Amazon.

Unexpectedly, a lot of this negative sentiment seems to be rooted in thin media coverage, a la Jim Cramer.

Still holding on to dramatic statements?

Headline-driven market is a thing, not sure why meme stock investors are part of this? How are they connected to this news?

Also, what's a meme stock? How would you define that?

...because you decided so?

Ryan Cohen rarely does interviews & Lauren Thomas is one of the few journalists he agreed to speak to, they had an interview earlier this year - https://www.wsj.com/finance/stocks/gamestop-ceo-plans-e8440c...

If you check eBay & GME's stock prices after the announcement, the market seems to think there are at least serious discussions here if not more.

> an attention stunt, of which Cohen has done a few since GME became a meme stock

What would be these few attention stunts he did?
