Short-Seller Jim Chanos Blasts Meme-Stock traders as Greedy and Entitled – and Says they Cry and Point Fingers When They Lose Money (Business Insider) Jim Chanos blasted meme-stock traders as immature and petulant in a tweet this week. The veteran short-seller also accused them of only caring about money, dismissing their grand claims of taking on Wall Street and democratizing finance as false narratives. "$GME is up 780% and $AMC is up 1,470% this year. $AMC has tripled in the past three months," the Kynikos Associates boss tweeted from his WallStCynic account, using the stock tickers for GameStop and AMC Entertainment – two of the most popular meme stocks.
