I'm sure there is some core set of people that want to "stick it to Wall Street" but the vast majority are probably just along for the ride.
The irony is, once this stock finally comes crashing down, it will be the small retail investors losing a lot of money, and a different set of Wall Street investors will be the ones reaping the reward.
Probably. Those small retail investors should be responsible for their actions though right? This is obviously a highly risky trade, and it takes just a couple minutes to see that's the case.
