I have read that there was a 140% short interest in this stock.  That means
 that in some convoluted fashion there was a large naked short against this
 company.  Naked shorting is illegal, but apparently Wall street has way to
 naked short companies anyhow.  

But , I am sure that there will be a much larger investigation into finding
 a retail investor who broke the law as opposed to figuring out how hedge f
unds are defacto naked shorting companies.

It is this massive over-shorting that provided an opportunity for an exploi
t (gaming term).  Reddit provided a forum to get thousands of people to buy
 position and they "promised" to hold their position.  If you can get enoug
h people to purchase and not sell then those naked shorts start to really r
un away (in the wrong direction),  This is happening and it is really inter
esting.

In the end, sure, the price will come back down, but the manipulators got b
eaten at the game of manipulation and it is quite a beautiful thing to beho
ld.

There will be a sequel with much better actors. The total yearly  
production of silver is ~1e9 Troy ounces and an ounce nowadays costs  
26USD, give or take. The same ballpark. Retail silver trading has  
effectively been suspended, for instance: https://www.apmex.com/

"Due to unprecedented demand on physical silver products, we are unable  
to accept any additional orders on a large number of products, until  
global markets open Sunday evening."

And this is the outcome of the first weekend alone. Same message almost  
everywhere else. Certainly gonna enjoy a lot more cheap entertainment. :)
