Abstract

Trgovanje na burzi vrijednosnica iznimno je popularno u Sjedinjenim Američkim Državama, gdje čak preko 50% odraslih osoba ulaže na tržište kapitala. Tema ovog diplomskog rada obuhvaća analizu zajedničkog utjecaja investitora i drugih interesno-utjecajnih skupina, odnosno stakeholdera (eng. Stakeholders) koji su iz svojih posebnih razloga pokušali utjecati na kretanje vrijednosti dionice GameStop poduzeća kako bi ostvarili profit. Predmet rada predstavlja korake zakonitog utjecaja svih stakeholdera na generacijski short squeeze koji je zahvatio GameStop dionicu. Diplomski rad poseban značaj daje „velikim igračima“ kao što su hedge fondovi i investicijske banke, koji su se uz pomoć brokera kladili putem držanja kratke
pozicije (eng. short position) na propast ranjivih poduzeća i tako pokušali zaraditi na padu cijene dionice. Cilj rada jest otkriti naknadne posljedice za Wall Street i društvo u cjelini te na koji su način organizirani mnogobrojni „mali“ investitori upropastili plan „velikih igrača“ i doveli ih u neugodan položaj pred američkim Kongresom. Navedena obilježja skandala su nezapamćena na Wall Streetu pa ovakav događaj masovnog fokusiranja velikog broja malih dioničara i medija iz čitavog svijeta te vlasti u Sjedinjenim Američkim Državama predstavlja veliki izazov čija će svrha biti unaprjeđenje regulacije tržišta kapitala kako ne bi dolazilo do sličnih situacija u budućnosti. U radu najviše do izražaja dolazi metoda klasifikacije (u kojoj se centralni događaj opisuje u potpunosti), metoda deskripcije (u kojima će se situacije vezane za GameStop skandal detaljno opisivati i odgovarati na pitanje Kako? i Zašto?) i prisutnost statističke metode koja će analizirati mnoge podatke relevantne za fundamentalnu analizu i financijske rezultate.

Abstract (english)

Trading on the stock exchange is extremely popular in the United States, where as many as 50% of adults invest in the capital market. The topic of this thesis includes the analysis of the joint influence of investors and other stakeholders who, for their own special reasons, tried to influence the movement of the value of GameStop shares in order to make a profit. The subject of the paper represents the stages of the legal influence of all stakeholders on the short squeeze that affected the GameStop stock. The thesis gives special importance to "big players" such as hedge funds and investment banks, who, with the help of brokers, bet by holding a short position on the collapse of vulnerable companies and thus tried to make money on falling stock prices. The aim of the paper is to reveal the subsequent consequences for Wall Street and society as a whole, and how many organized "small" investors ruined the plan of "big players" and put them in an awkward position before the US Congress. These features of the scandal are unprecedented on Wall Street, so this event of mass focusing of large numbers of small shareholders and media from around the world and the government in the United States is a great challenge aiming to improve capital market regulation to avoid similar situations in the future. The paper focuses on the classification method (in which the central event is fully described), the description method (in which situations related to the GameStop scandal will be described in detail and answer the question How? and Why?) and the presence of a statistical method that will analyze many data relevant to fundamental analysis and financial results.
