About the Project

This project aims to analyze the GameStop event that occurred on the Reddit community r/WallStreetBets in January 2021, where a coordinated effort by retail investors drove a massive short squeeze on GameStop (GME) stock. We utilize large language models (LLMs) to gain insights into the dynamics of this event and the impact of online communities on real-world financial markets.

Motivation

The GameStop event highlighted the potential influence of online communities and social media on financial markets, demonstrating the power of coordinated retail investor actions. Our goal is to leverage the capabilities of large language models to understand the underlying factors that contributed to this event, including the flow of information, user activities, and sentiment within the r/WallStreetBets community.
