Shailene Woodley_Paul Dano - Dumb Money

“Dumb Money” is based on the true story of the rise and fall of GameStop stock in 2021. I vividly remember being glued to the news during this time because of the pandemic. In between watching reports on the coronavirus, there news stories on how GameStock shares were climbing higher and higher. What I didn’t really understand, and what the movie expertly lays out, is how this was a battle between the business savvy hedge fund investors and the … [Read more...]
