The rush on the Gamestop share fueled in the online forum reddit, or more precisely: r / wallstreetbets, is not a pure US phenomenon. The KURIER spoke to four Austrians who are participating in the course rally. Each one of them has already multiplied its stake.
Sebastian, 25 years
“I've been trading for almost a year, and I've been looking for information on Reddit for a long time. I've read about the GameStop hype there for a while. Last Monday I finally got on board, bought a total of 6 shares for € 84 each. In the meantime I have then added another 4 shares, but sold again. Now I've got my basic stake out again and want to keep the 6 shares I still have. “
Marcel, 28 years
“I've been following WallStreetBets on reddit for a long time, but actually only for amusement. Of course, I caught the GameStop hype early on. I was in the exam phase, I was bored, so I just wanted to be there at some point. I was around two weeks ago So I jumped up and bought three shares for 50 euros each. On Friday I sold them for 350 euros each, nice pocket money. “
Dominik, 24 years
“I came across reddit straight away and invested € 200 for the first time two weeks ago when the price was € 36. Between January 22nd and 27th, I added another one, and since then I've stood for a total of 21 shares I spent a total of around 1,200 euros. Originally, I just saw it as a good investment and wanted to make quick money. Since then I have noticed from the reporting that a certain opinion should be formed and people should be driven to sell I continue to do so because I believe that it is now about more than just business. “
Emanuel, 25 years
“I heard about it from a friend and bought 15 shares the day before last Friday when the price was still 36 euros. When I checked again in the evening, my shares were already worth almost double. That's why I signed up on Weekend read properly and on Monday bought another 10 pieces for a total of 600 euros. Now, after the increase of the past week, this is no longer just a small additional income, but it really is about something. I have no plans in the near future sell, but honestly believe that there is still a lot to be done. “
