the world’s tiniest violins (Grand Theft Pension Fund)


January 2021

“Good evening, newly minted Reddit millionaires. I’m sure all of you are watching this from the marble bathtubs on your hovercraft, thanks to your savvy stock market manipulation of GameStop, Tootsie Rolls, Blockbuster Video and, by the time this airs, I’m going to say, Crystal Pepsi?” —Stephen Colbert


“Yeah, right now, the world has been separated into two groups: those who have no idea what’s going on with the stock market and those who have no idea but invested anyway.” —Jimmy Fallon


“Ahh, that’s terrible. Those poor hedge fund managers. Now might be a good time to invest into whoever manufacturers the world’s tiniest violins.” —Stephen Colbert


“Late last year, two hedge funds started shorting stock in the retail store GameStop. Meaning, they had bet against it and needed it to drop in price for their investments to be successful. You might have seen a similar concept in the movie ‘The Big Short,’ or its popular video game spin-off, ‘Grand Theft Pension Fund.’” —Stephen Colbert

“A magisterial collection. An emotional roller coaster. Soon to be a cult classic. 

A combination of Bukowski’s The Last Night of the Earth and Orwell’s 1984.”
