Young Republicans Angry After GameStop Debacle – New York City

NEW YORK, NY – JANUARY 31, 2020: Vish Burra (Viswanag B. Burra) - Vice President of The New York Young Republican Club. A New York state organization calling itself the Young Republicans and its President, Gavin Wax, rally at Zuccotti Park in lower Manhattan for a 'Re-Occupy Wall Street' demonstration on January 21, 2021. Participants express their anger at Wall Street and protest actions by hedge funds and other financial institutions to undermine Reddit-fueled populist purchases of GameStop stock. In a move originally initiated by the Reddit page WallStreetBets, GameStop, a seller of video games and electronics, stock shares rose more than 1,700 percent when amateur day traders poured cash into the stock thereby undermining Wall Street short sellers looking to profit from GameStop's failure.
