No. Gamestop isn't a company with a bright future.
The opposite. Hedge funds were betting against growth in the share price and it went to the moon yesterday.
lmao

It's a mechanism designed for enterprising people to raise capital.
People like Bernie Madoff and Martin Skhreli eroded trust in it.

Why are you acting incredulous?
A country becomes prosperous when they efficiently allocate capital where it's needed.

It's your intuition or factual evidence?
in the simplest way possible that doesn't get into technicalities:
A few people on social media (mostly on /r/WSB) told people to buy into $GME (Gamestop's stock) because it was going to overflow in price.
This cascaded into a lot of people buying into $GME.
A handful of big investment firms predicted that it was a bubble, and shorted the stock, meaning they borrowed shares to immediately sell them. This is basically a bet that the price will dramatically fall soon.
How a short works:
Let's say you borrow stocks at $20, then sell them immediately. When the price drops to $10, you buy those stocks back. Return the borrowed stocks and keep in a profit.
/r/WSB and other social media users realized this was happening, and pushed more and more people to keep buying into $GME, drastically increasing the price and causing massive losses to these investment firms.
Now, these investment firms have their timed "contracts" coming up on the borrowed stocks, with increasing and increasing prices that don't have any signs of falling soon.
For reference, Gamestop stock was maybe $18 a share on a good day. It is now over $300 per share.
That's like the picture since December

Things started to ramp up in the fall when an accredited name took over Gamestop
