The person who based WallStreetBets, Jaime Rogozinski, didn’t love buying and selling shares. Not less than not at first. Within the mid-2000s, as a aspect hustle, Rogozinski might afford to plunk round $1,000 in shares of Google. It value him a $30 fee to purchase and a $30 fee to promote, which means that charges devoured up 6% of the commerce. “I’m like, wow, this sucks,” says Rogozinski. “Clearly, it really works when you have a ton of cash but it surely doesn’t work when you have $1,000 bucks.”
