About The Daily Show:
Trevor Noah and The Daily Show correspondents tackle the biggest stories in news, politics and pop culture.
The Daily Show with Trevor Noah airs weeknights at 11/10c on Comedy Central.
Funny how Trevor is one of the few media people accurately reporting on this and not siding with the hedge funds.
Not a surprise to me, Trevor is more intelligent than most.
Literally all comedians and late show hosts I saw make fun of how Wall Street was beaten in their own game with their own method.
What are you talking about? Most late night hosts, at least, have sided with Reddit, as far as I've seen.
All the major news networks have been siding with the hedge funds. Hence why a lot of us get our news from comedians.
@@lordlacolith Yeah only one who bit it hard was that fake shill Jimmy Kimmel saying it was "Russian Disruptors" reading a script rather than doing self research smh u3u least we know who's out for the little guy \o/
Poor poor billionaires lost money they stole from the rest of us
They can pull themselves up by the belt buckles until it trickles up. 🤣
Maybe if they just work harder.. Get a better job... I mean, it's the "American Dream", no handouts. . People want to work for what they have.. oh wait, that's only for us poor schmucks.
@@TheWelchcat Heyyyyy, don't compare me to those dirtbags in Wall Street
🤣
no they gave it to other billionaires Jan 27 (Reuters) - BlackRock Inc, the world’s largest asset manager, could have made gains of about $2.4 billion on its investment in GameStop Corp as retail investors pour money into the video-game retailer’s shares. The asset manager owned about 9.2 million shares, or a roughly 13% stake, in GameStop as of Dec. 31, 2020, a regulatory filing showed on Tuesday.
I love the contrast of the hedgefunders going: "I'm sitting at home sad and not having any fun" versus the gamestop profiters: "I paid off my student loans and I can finally support my family" - like boo hoo, what an evil event with TERRIBLE consequences lmao
Exactly, thank you.
I agree, BUT what we probably don't know: How many of the small people missed the chance to sell at the right time and lost money?
@@zakkvanish3668 the overwhelming majority, good comment. Since the stocks for the short had to be loaned from somewhere - most likely another hedge funds - that is where the money went. A pump & dump like the redditers did to the gamestop stock doesn't create value, it just redistributes it - and I somehow doubt there were serious investors going "well gamestop seems like a concept with a great future, let's invest in this while its stock sits at 300$!", so it did not "take from the rich", just from some other poor schmocks.
@@niklaswassermann9971 Tbf, I saw a lot of people giving warnings on that when I considered buying. While I'm certain some people bought the stock while it was high and lost money, I hope that the majority of people who did that only bought the small amount they could afford to lose.
@@percabethlumity I would hope so too, but the thing about gambling addiction is that it doesn't usually restrict itself to hedge funds managers who have never been and will never be held accountable for anything in their life. While I too hope that most people that lost only lost play money, there will certainly be a bunch of addicts that were stupid enough to bet their last pennies on it. You can't really prevent that though, and I don't think the purpose of the whole thing was to make a profit, so it's no different from any other day at the stock markets

When a billionaire can lose billions and still be a billionaire doesn't seem to make me feel bad!
@@Metalbass10000 That's the part that angers me the most is that it is legal. For years different people have felt that the markets were rigged against the ordinary investors. Now we know that to be true! Can we really trust the reports that come out of these financial firms to be accurate when they benefit from a stock price going lower, especially if it is intentional? To beat these billionaires at this game would take a coordinated position against them!
weird how that works
@EpyonX you're right about that. Though it costs billions every year from the effects of climate change some people refuse to acknowledge it is real and poses a real danger.
@EpyonX Maybe the reason for that is that they are already preparing for its inevitability with modern day underground shelters. Their greed knows no bounds as they do not have to come face to face with the billions that suffer.
@EpyonX I agree with you! They will try though, regardless of the risks since they will feel that they are destined to survive. Should society collapse as a result of climate change people will turn their focus towards them.
These people not only have no shame, but they'll go to Congress and cry real tears because people are being mean to them when they get called out.
“....& them Wall Street tears 😭 taste even better when multiplied, 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂”!!! G-Mommee

Okay okay, but i just have to point this out. The channel jubilee had a video, called something like democrats and republicans see eye to eye middle ground. In it, there's this hilarious clip where two people were talking about how their political beliefs had led to harm against them. One cried while recalling how in middle school her classmates teased her that her preferred president didn't win. The other guy just deadpan says that he was stabbed over it. It was honestly hilarious

This is how the govt and all financial institutions work. It's very much based on the mafias format. You can't play the game without "protection" or being in their club.... Protection in the form of paying their "right to entry" ie: permits and licenses dues and fees to operate or in the legal sense you must be a lawyer or paid your dues being in the banking sector. The american dream is literally just a slogan to get you to buy in so they can then fleece you with no one being the wiser. Why is it ok to literally threaten to lock up grade schoolers for running a lemonade stand without a license and permit. Why is it legal for the fed and hedge funds to manipulate the market but regular people can't... You have to play ball first and join their club or pay protection plain and simple.

Hedge Funds silently gaining 3x the money the other hedgefund lost in the same time: *crickets*

The wealthiest Americans own 80% of the stockmarket. Its a joke they insist we laugh at. The market is fixed all the time.
I inherited a few stocks and sold them off immediately. Sooner or later Wall Street ALWAYS has a story about why they lost your money. "Story" means "lie," and "lost" means "stole."
Its fixed all the time
“The closest Wall Street has come to reflecting is doing coke off a mirror....” Trevor got BARS!

ErryDAY!
Some people are literally unable to distinguish between "illegal" and "wrong."
Not unable at all !!! "Wrong" doesn´t even exist as a category for them. They just don´t care! They care just of staying out of jail, and hence, anything that doesn´t lead to jail is allowed... Scientists call that "sociopath".
“....& some ppl don’t comprehend either, no matter what they do & someone tells them they are wrong or that’s illegal they are at a lost”!!! G-Mommie
@@sewpungyow5154 Apparently in some places (including some US states, if what I've heard is true), incest between two consenting adults is not illegal. Now, when it comes to prison sentences, I really would prefer that taxes are used for these kinds of things *if* they at least used protection, but there's a really good reason to make it the act results in pregnancy. Other than that, I just don't think it's an issue that should be the responsibility of justice system - there are other ways, which is precisely why normal, non-sociopath, people understand that legal doesn't always mean right or acceptable (nor does illegal always mean wrong, but not for same reasons). That's why the legality of incest between consenting adults hasn't lead to everyone having sex between their family members (ok, maybe the MAGA crowd, LOL).
@@sewpungyow5154 It's illegal everywhere in the USA except three states. And those are technicalities based on age(consenting adults) and if it was a parent or not. Actual sentences and punishment vary across states. Should be illegal across the board when it's that close and pregnancy involved tho. The law isn't about morality, but health concerns. If you're gonna bang your sister, use a condom and keep the inbreeding to a minimum. Another matter entirely depending on age and potential 'grooming' issues.
yeah what the people on reddit did is neither illegal nor wrong.
The worst thing is they didnt even manipulate the markrt they just started their own hedgefubd...god damm those wallstreeters are some crybabies
You would be too if you suddently had to give up your high priced hooker, and slum it up like the rest of America. ;)

So sad... they've found their purpose... they can't feel anything unless they're actively screwing thousands of people into the dirt

+10 for phrasing it in a TV-friendly manner so that it was shown and read out loud in national television, uncensored.
Wall Street has been gaming the market legally for years. I have no sympathy for any hedge fund. I wouldn't mind if they were legislated out of existence. Alternatively, lets change tax laws so that capital gains are twxed as ordinary income.
That would be good. It's how many,of them keep being wealthy by only having less than a million in their bank accounts but the rest of their wealth is inside the businesses they run. Only paying a small amount of tax on that company gain but still being able to withdraw the millions they have in the company.
It isn't legal from a ethical standpoint. Especially when they are buying congress and the White House off. Let's say that it's legal tomorrow to kill someone. Would it still be legal or ethical?
@@wickedmen030 true but the media has the most sway over it all. Legislature who write the laws are swayed a lot by the media so if all media started saying it was then almost overnight whatever they say was okay people would blindly follow then make it so in the laws. Because they keep buying out Congress and Senate they get away with anything that a working class person would be punished for almost instantly. In my opinion.
And if the penalties that do exist are fines, it's just a way of saying it's legal for the rich. All they're doing is a little gambling. It's a drop in the bucket.
@@TheWelchcat true. To them as long as it's not tens of millions of dollars then they pay any fine like it's just pocket change. On top of having very expensive law firms on speed dial to warn them ahead of time should anything in their names pop up in the court records. Giving them plenty of time before any warrant is served to dispose of possible evidence/build a defense.
While there are countless articles dedicated to individual techniques and strategies for building wealth and becoming rich, the advice here focuses more broadly. Great video.

I know this has nothing to do with Wall Street, but I have recently started reading “Born A Crime” in my Honors English class. When I saw the author was you, I got excited because I started watching the daily show about a month before I got the book, and I knew it was going to be good. But I wanted to thank you for writing it. It has reinforced my understanding of living during and after the Apartheid in South Africa, and I have learned so much about the Xhosas and the Zulus. You are an inspiration to me and have helped through some rough moments in life, and that means a lot to me.

This whole GameStop saga sounds Iike "Trading Places": insider trading, the little guys get screwed by the big guys on a dehumanizing wager for a whole dollar. Spoiler! ... The little guys eventually get wise, decide to get revenge, turn the tables, and use the big guys' own game to screw them .... and end up getting rich AF at the same time while sending the big guys into a panic at the loss of a fortune. Love that movie, by the way. The ending about orange juice futures was always confusing AF to me, even though I lived downtown near Wall Street for years and picked up plenty. After THIS, I think I get the ending and the hysterically driven nuance of what Aykroyd and Murphy did.

Aww, the person who donated Nintendo switches to the children's hospital, you rock! My late husband(he died young) grew up being stuck in the hospital for months at a time on the pediatric oncology ward, he had a rare blood disorder. Those kids all had only a few PlayStations for the entire floor, and the stories he has told me😂 about these kids tracking down what room had the PlayStations and how long they had them for, these kids took that seriously in the late 90s. He told me his roommate was furious because this child had signed out the PlayStation days ago and that was against the rules. It turns out the kid had just been told his treatment was no longer working and his parents were trying to figure out whether to try a experimental treatment or if the child would go to hospice. Meanwhile my husband's childhood roommate, a boy who had cancer in his leg and had it amputated, was trying to plan diversions to somehow steal the PlayStation from the other kids room🤦 obviously nowadays it's not as intense I'm sure lmao, we have cell phones and laptops but for a kid in the 90s being stuck in the hospital for extended periods of time😬 those PlayStations were precious
"The closest Wall Street comes to reflecting is when they do coke of a mirror" that cracked me up

Satisfying indeed, Trevor!
Fantastic Trevor, thank you
Im glad he pointed out how he said aluminum. I was so puzzled when he said it the American way 🤣
Me too 😂😂😂
As a kiwi living in the states, It just feeeeeels wrong to say it their way .-.

But I feel like his pronunciation added a syllable at the end... It's aluminum not alumin eee um.
“Last week wasn’t a free market. It was a free-for-all market.” Haha. The interpretation of “free” in America is that it obviously doesn’t apply for all. Only the rich and powerful can play, meanwhile the rest are only allowed to play dead. “Free” and “freedom” meaning no rules or consequences for those in power.
Yeah I got mad at that too! Like Free market and Free for all market are technically the same thing! Even the poorest citizen has the "freedom" to engage in the market, and if that poor person wins at the game then TS for the billionaires club!
You hit it so well!
Thanks for explaining what happened in a way that I can understand!
"...like serial killers" is on point. White collar sociopaths are a thing. No remorse, they're just not directly serial killing people.
imagine Wall Street without the shorting, leverage, options, daytrading... and what else i dont know of... Just a place to invest your money in companies you actually believe in. I thinks the time is ripe for such a public accessible stock exchange.
That is what it was supposed to be.
But Stocks have almost nothing to do with the companies. Just with the top executives
@@Jartran72 Depends on the company. Some of them give RSUs (Restricted Stock Units) as part of benefits as a way to share in the company doing well. This is very a very common benefit for engineers at a tech company. There are also stock investment plans where a portion of your paycheck can be used to automatically buy company stock. I do agree that shorting, leveraged buys, day trading, and some of the other antics are disruptive and abused.
no other talkshow has been able to make me understand the mephistophelian game played through gamestop except yours..... I think, those bragging videos and Senate hearings of the wall street leeches helped me to finally get it....and the money the redditers spent was the most fun to watch. Thank you Trevor. You are the only talk show host who seems like a friend!
Can you put the dates or news clips when you use them? It's important context. Love the show!
"Last week wasn't a free market. It was a free-for-all market." Hi. Those are the same thing. Carry on.
No
@@princessyarkor730 a free market is an open market to everyone. So yes.... they are the same thing. Working together to the same goal is communism and we don't like that now do we? *giggle*
CRYING AHAHAH
@@TheBloodypimp thank you...
@Bandit as much as the Chinese communist party says they communist, doesn't make them communist. China is a hyper pro corporate capitalist nation. China is literally the US billionairs/millionaires wet dream.
Honestly, these WS guys can suck those negative numbers.
The scary thing is that they are still doing it as we are talking about it, they will not stop and will lobby to make it even more hard to break into or disrupt it from now on because of Wall Street bets.
They will probably attempt targeting something young people like so they can get their money back!
You are awesome Trevor. The way you explain the facts is superb
That aluminium pronunciation bit was slick brilliant.

That’s a good one!
You are my favorite person right now
Instant respect 👍👌💯
The nerds yelling at Wall street "Who's Laughing NOW!?"
The nerds are heroes now
Hail to the nerds! ✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿👏🏿👏🏿
I laughed so hard when that Fox lady at 1:04 that *The Redditors* don't know that it's a piece of company they're buying and nothing to play hot potato with. PLAYING HOT POTATO WITH STOCKS IS THE PRIMARY INCOME OF HEDGEFUNDS!
Wall street when someone else does their job better than them: ‘I feel so insignificant’ Well, welcome to the real world!
Hedge fund managers: _YOU CHEATED!!!_ Redditors: Technically, we both cheated. I just did it better.

@@boltzcorsino7782 aye, but it fits better, here, considering Constantine didn't actually cheat, he just un-cheated the demon's hand by changing it back to what it originally was.
@@vokasimid5330 wrong movie, mate.
This has to be my favorite analysis I've seen
Peace to all Great segment @The Daily Show...I'm extra weak...!!!
Seriously, those WS guys are *sociopaths* !
yeah man, I never imagined they where so cold but all this time they apparently were the utter bottom scum of society!
You have to be a sociopath to get into that career field. The way of entry is through being an analyst at an investment bank - a job that requires mindless 80+ hours/week and performance above and beyond your peers if you are to cut it. Seems like the ideal environment in which a sociopath could thrive (i.e. disregard for family/friends/social life/life's pleasures in cold pursuit of a career).

🍷AMEN ! RIP CARLIN.. Respect that guy had balls.
Trevor your show is leangle and very satisfying, and entertaining!
There is reason this guy have 9M subs. So nicely put everything. Great comedian guy with so much talent in every field. Much respect for the talent. 👏👏👏👏
May the month of February bring nothing but Joy, good health and blessing to you my friend.
You too! 😊🙏
