Is this the “French Revolution of Finance?” Hear the truth behind the GameStop saga and how a group of everyday investors set out to destroy some of the biggest hedge funds in the nation. Don’t miss an exciting opportunity THIS Thursday, 2/4 at 6 pm to join a conversation with Peter Atwater, a frequently quoted expert by news and media outlets on matters impacting Main Street, Wall Street and Constitution Avenue, who also happens to be an Adjunct Economics Professor at William & Mary. We will discuss the recent news regarding GameStop and AMC, and how these acts of financial rebellion will fundamentally change the notion of who really owns Wall Street. There will be a Q&A portion at the end so please come prepared with questions.
