Short-selling investors lost a staggering $70.8 billion this month, according to financial data analytics firm Ortex. Their losses were partly driven by small traders pumping money into stocks like GameStop.
Short-sellers lost $70.87 billion on US companies this year so far, according to analysis from Ortex reported by Reuters on Thursday. To put the loss in perspective, $70.87 billion is half a billion dollars more than the GDP of Slovenia, according to CIA statistics.

I wouldn’t bet against the gamer nerds.

Dawg, I'm certainly not questioning you, but there's a lot more players involved. The gamers don't have the juice to move markets this way.
Look behind the curtain at companies B, C, D, thru X that are in the shadows. Details are leaking out slowly.
It's Friday-News-Dump night. Some details may come out tonight when we're not supposed to be looking. Regardless, the event should end by the end of next week except for the minor players (gamers) that will be the scapegoats.
I've been wrong before, getting to be a habit in CrazyWorld.

a few lunatics

We had a Foreman on the State Highways they called Lunatic Lindwall. He was a Marine on Iwo Jima during WW II.
One day he came into the yard to get cold patch put on his pick up. The guy comes with the end loader with a scoop of cold patch.
Lindwall was directing him. One of the guys on his crew was telling the guy in loader, "Dump it! Dump it!" He did and Lindwall got hot.
The guy in loader asked the guy on ground, "What's he so hot about?"
The guy on the ground said, "You'd be hot too if your bottle just got buried."
On another occasion were doing maintenance on bridge bearings. The Lead Lead Worker pulled up in his pick up with the Engineer in the truck with him. They called him down from under the bridge.
They said to him, "Bob, if you have a problem with alcohol, we'll get you help."
It really was no secret. :-/
