American Consequences With Trish Regan

Inside GameStop with the Founder of Wall Street Bets

Is the stock market a fair judge of value?As the drama unfolds on Capitol Hill, Jaimie Rognozinski, the founder of WallStreetBets joins Trish to examine the roots of the controversy. Rogozinski designed his subreddit forum in 2012 as a place where both risk-hungry amateurs ANF financial pros could trade investing ideas.
