Hedge fund tries to short Gamestop, now gets short squeezed by R/wallstreetbets

I almost wish GameStop wasn't doing well though. It is a notoriously Bad Company to work for, and would love to see it fall prey to smaller chains.

It won't. It's falling prey to online distribution.

You spend too much time on Reddit.

I've accidentally made money in this foolishness. I own some shares of AMCX (the cable network company) that has apparently been confused by some for AMC (the movie theater company).

So what is GameStop going to do with all this extra new capital?

What extra capital?  They didn't issue any new shares.  Conceivably they could do a stock offering to take advantage of their stock being overvalued, but by the time they could likely do that, the stock price will likely have returned to normal.

To be fair, the current gold:silver ratio indicates that likely either gold is overvalued or that silver is undervalued. However, given the run up in commodity prices in general, I'd think it's likelier the former than the latter.
