Wall Street investors have bet struggling video game retailer GameStop would fail for a long time. At points, it's been one of the most heavily bet-against stocks on the market. But over the past few months, a bunch of Reddit users have been pushing up the value of GameStop shares instead. At first, it was because they believed the company was better off than the Wall Street doubters believed. As GameStop value has soared, Wall Street's bad bets cost investors billions of dollars.
Now the Reddit users want the price to rise even more, as they wage an epic battle against Wall Street.
