Gamestop And The Reemergence Of The Retail Investor, Jill E. Fisch
Gamestop And The Reemergence Of The Retail Investor, Jill E. Fisch
All Faculty Scholarship
The GameStop trading frenzy in January 2021 was perhaps the highest profile example of the reemergence of capital market participation by retail investors, a marked shift from the growing domination of those markets by large institutional investors.

African Americans could benefit from race-conscious efforts to shape a more equitable digital public sphere through improved laws and legal institutions. This Essay critically elaborates the Black Opticon triad and considers whether the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (2021), the federal Data Protection Act (2021), and new resources for the Federal Trade …
