Lifecycle of a GME Trader: From Newbie to Diamond Hands
Your phone buzzes with a Reddit notification. It's the WallStreetBets forum, a cacophony of memes, rocketship emojis, and fervent discussions about Gamestop (GME) stock. A spark ignites within you - a mix of internet bravado, a rebellious urge to topple the hedge funds (remember Mr. Mayo?), and maybe that one late-night YouTube rabbit hole about tendies. You decide to YOLO (you only live once, right?).
Ramen noodles become your new best friend. Every spare penny gets tossed into the GME piggy bank. You're practically living on fumes, but the dream of a moonshot keeps you going. Your phone becomes an extension of your hand, perpetually glued to the GME ticker. It's a roller-coaster ride - every dip a stomach punch, every rise a shot of adrenaline.
Then, it happens. Roaring Kitty, the forum's resident legend, fires off a cryptic tweet. The apes, as the GME investors call themselves, erupt in a frenzy. Could this be it? Is the rocket finally fueled for another epic launch? You grip your phone tighter, heart pounding in your chest. It's a wild ride, but you're in it for the long haul.

Looking back at my preliminary task
- 1. Looking back at my preliminary task, I feel I have learnt a lot in the progression from it to the full product.
- 2. The evaluation of my preliminary task • How well does your preliminary task fulfil the brief? I think my task fulfils the brief well as I have included all aspects such as writing pictures and the correct pages. • What obstacles did you overcome in order complete the preliminary task? when I began I did not know how to use the programme or cameras properly but by the end I managed to learn the basics on both through video tutorials and asking others for advice. • How could you have improved the production values of your preliminary task? I could have included a logo or trade mark of some kind • What tutorials did you use in order to help you complete the preliminary task? I used a tutorial on how to focus the camera as well as multiple tutorials on how to use different aspects of Photoshop. • What important lessons have your learned in preparation for completing your main task? if I get stuck their are tutorials on almost every aspect of the camera and programmes and that I need to think about what the end product needs to have before I start trying to do the task.
- 3. What this lead me to do • I looked firstly at the improvements I said I could make and the first one was inclusing a logo or trademark, so when I looked at the blender magazine I had a look to see if they had something that was trademark about their magazine and it appeared there title font was their trademark so i spent a long time when creating my magazine looking at my title font and trying to match it. Blender dose not have a logo so as I was using this as my model magazine I decided although I said as an improvement I would include a logo I did not as it was not appropriate.
- 4. Next.... • I looked at the important lessons part of my evaluation and saw that the thing I needed to focus on watching more tutorials to help me learn how to do things on YouTube and Photoshop, this is why I decided to spend time after completing the preliminary task watching lots of tutorials so I had further knowledge of Photoshop and YouTube. I then used there tutorials along with practicing with images from Google to see how to use the different aspects of the programmes.
- 5. What I have done pre creating my magazine. • I have done lots more research than I originally thought I would need to do as when creating my school magazine for my preliminary task I noticed there was a lot more to creating a magazine that people want to buy or even read. After making my magazine for the preliminary I noticed there is a lot more to a magazine than just some text and a picture. However although i had to do extra research I realised it helped a lot having a clear picture to begin with.
- 6. How it helped me in my final production. Central image Barcode Web address All of the above features are things I learnt by doing a lot of prior research Bold but simple title Captions All sticks to the tricolour colour scheme
