A lot of Redditors hate the Reddit IPO | Reddit warned us that its users were a risk factor, and boy do they sound excited about shorting its stock.::Reddit seems like a likely candidate for a meme stock. But the actual reaction suggests that r/WallStreetBets isn’t going to send the stock to the moon.

Yeah, and some rich people may do that. But, other rich people aren't satisfied with the returns of an index fund, so they'll manipulate the markets to get higher returns.

I don't know what you're trying to get at. The original comment stated the stock market is a rich man's game that poor men are designed to lose. I pointed out that anyone with extra income can take advantage of the stock market and not lose. Just because rich people can take advantage of market manipulation doesn't mean poor people have to lose.
