Everyone loves it when the little guy beats the big boy titans. Or do they? What is the real story about what happened regarding GameStop stock? What does it mean for crowdfunding issuers and investors? In this podcast, Michael Brette from Small Cap Equity Advisors breaks it all down from every angle, including how a “short” works, how influential big-tech companies love hedge funds, why Robinhood maybe shouldn’t take all the blame for any claims of market manipulation, and why going with a full service broker may be a better alternative to avoid similar pitfall situations.
Listen to “What the GameStop Controversy Means to Crowdfunding Issuers and Investors” on Spreaker.
When retail small guys sitting in their basements conspiring on Reddit and bidding up a stock with their Robinhood app crush the hedge fund giants to the tune of $20-50 BILLION dollars, you have to be concerned about the implications of such an event. When big boys see an opportunity to crush a stock, it’s called “shorting”, but when the small guys do it, it’s called market manipulation. Even though commission-free broker-dealer Robinhood got all the attention through this whole fiasco, perhaps there’s more to the story?
There are many ways of looking at this situation, but as Mr. Brette mentions on the podcast, if you continue to look at a company’s fundamentals and long-term growth in a growing industry, investors should be confident that the market is on the level. That is why it’s so important for issuers to use Regulation A to take their company public. Learn his investment strategies which can be applied above and beyond anything that the Gamestop controversy illustrates, but make sure you avoid what he calls “dead money”.
Fear not, crowdfunding investors. Deals are out there…you just have to do your due diligence and make sure a company’s fundamentals are sound. Get going now! And issuers, if you do things correctly, your offering documents will do all the talking for you.
