Michael Burry, the hedge fund manager portrayed by Christian Bale in The Big Short, has made a fortune on GameStop's stock after holding it for years. Instead of shorting a stock this time, he played the long game and managed to make an incredible amount of money.

Markets were sent into yet another frenzy of activity today as hundreds of thousands of Robinhood and TD Ameritrade (UPDATE: WeBull, which many RH users were migrating too, has also halted new positions in these stocks) users woke up to find these brokers were no longer allowing any further trades on GameStop ($GME), as well as other notable 'meme' stocks like AMC ($AMC), BlackBerry ($BB), and Nokia ($NOK) as well as cryptocurrency Dogecoin which also started to take off late last night (UPDATE: WeBull, which many RH users were migrating too, has also halted new positions in these stocks).

This is one of those stories that's so good that you have to double check it's not parody. The talk of the stock market right now involves GameStop (among other stocks) and a group of Reddit users that decided to play Wall Street's own game against them.
