In this week’s podcast, Ben Gutteridge, director at Invesco, discusses what the meteoric rise in GameStop this week, driven by a band of investors who came together on Reddit, could mean for the future of the investment world. Gutteridge says that while institutional collusion is certainly against the rules, retail trader talk online is more of a grey area. He also argues the events around GameStop might make hedge funds more reticent about vocalising their short positions in future. Beyond this, Ben talks about earnings from Tesla and Apple and this week’s surprising jump in the share price of Etsy, all because of Elon Musk’s dog!
