The Echo Chamber - Episode 81

"Burr-Polar Disorder"

TEC is loaded this week as Fitzzzy is joined by Peak Hobby and M_oass to talk all things GameStop, Pokémon, and collectibles.

The first half of the show focuses on the Pokémon boom, PSA grading shutdown, and the growing collectibles market around GameStop and PowerPacks. In the second half we shift into the eBay deal update, new 13D filings, the May sell-off, option chain activity, and a full Week in Review packed with chart talk and tinfoil.
