Robin Hood, Robin Hood, walking around the hospital. Robin Hood, Robin Hood, with his Nintendo Switches band. Feared by hedge fund investors, loved by sick children, Robin Hooood, Robin Hooood, Robin Hooooood!
It may not be the most traditional of Robin Hood’s gestures, but it’s certainly something you wouldn’t see real Wall Street investors doing. In a charming twist in the history of GameStop, which is taking the Internet storm by storm, Reddit user Lunar033 is “paying off” the good luck of r / wallstreetbets, the subreddit that started by giving away six switches, games and Nintendo Accessories for Kids Minnesota Hospital.
For those who somehow lost the biggest story last week, GameStop shares were the target of an investment subreddit after they discovered that billionaire hedge fund managers were trying to “reduce” stocks of GameStop to Profit from Bankruptcy Company The subreddit, r / wallstreetbets, decided to try to make these billionaires lose money by pumping their life savings into GameStop, and they succeeded. To this day, subreddit investors continue to “hold” (refuse to sell) as a matter of principle, although they could lose out. million dollars.
This generous donation is a far cry from the first time the unexpected GameStop has benefited wallstreetbets members and in turn passed on their benefits to others. Another investor, who wanted to remain anonymous, gave ten Nintendo Switches to a Texas children’s hospital and other investors have been able to pay off medical debts and help their families.
The subreddit calls for its fellow investors to “stay strong,” with “💎🙌” messages to represent their cause, to deceive billionaires and help those in need. “We’re not on Wall Street,” Lazy_Dragonfruit_727 says in the comments. “We know what it’s like to suffer and how to return. That’s the difference between us and them.”
Hopefully, the hospital will be able to use the switches: we’ve tried Starlight consoles in the past, which are special versions of the switch considered “hospital safe.” Either way, it remains a generous use of the benefits that will certainly benefit hospital children.
