An unputdownable post-mortem of the freakiest tale of pandemic-age finance - and of how investing became gamified.

Jakab tells this story with warmth and humor, making financial concepts accessible to a lay audience. You will be entertained.

A timely and hugely important book. The GameStop saga shows what happens when the little guy takes on Wall Street at its own game: there can only be one winner. Spencer Jakab is a top-drawer journalist who understands this industry inside out. I can't recommend this book highly enough.

An important look at how markets - and people - defy prediction and occasionally lose their minds.

When an ailing video games retailer saw its shares soar into the stratosphere for no reason other than that newbie traders wanted to put one over on arrogant hedge funds, it was hard not to cheer David's felling of Goliath. But in this meticulous examination of the Gamestop saga, Spencer Jakab reminds us of a simple truth - the house, or in this case Wall Street, always wins in the end.

Thrumming narrative ... Anybody who buys and sells stocks, and anyone who "invests" in anything old or new, should read this book.
