Dumb Money is the ultimate David vs. Goliath tale, based on the insane true story of everyday people who flipped the script on Wall Street and got rich by turning GameStop (yes, the mall videogame store) into the world’s hottest company. In the middle of everything is regular guy Keith Gill (Paul Dano), who starts it all by sinking his life savings

we're really down to making movies about things that happened five minutes ago

Getting closer and closer to “Joan is Awful” territory.

I was surprised to find that this technically peaked 2.5 years ago. Plus for a story like this one that was captivating enough to go mainstream and be pretty well documented online I can understand how someone can spec this fairly quickly. Still quick turnover for movie standards.

The other surprising thing I found is that GameStop stock is still relatively healthy compared to pre-explosion. From 2018 to Dec 2020 stock price ranged between a low of 70 cents and a high of just under $5 a share. It peaked in January at $81 crashed a month later at $13 rose again a month later to $60 and has eased down to peaks and valleys around $20-some a share since early 2022.

Way too many of these business origin stories lately. Air, Blackberry and I swear there are several other recent ones.
