A Review of Dan Olson’s “documentary” This is Financial Advice AKA The World Series of Lies || Part 2: Lies, Omissions and Strong Opinions Loosely Held

TLDR:

Dan Olson's video is a heavily biased opinion piece, not an objective documentary. Dan failed in his 2021 personal goal of becoming a Documentarian and instead created a Propaganda piece. Overall, the video engages in misdirection from start to finish and lacks any factual support for its opinions. Major issues:

  • Claims of Gamestop being overvalued contradicts data.
  • Presents extreme theories as consensus, ignores diverse opinions.
  • Wrongly says retail solely caused Jan 2021 price spike.
  • Downplays illegal trading restrictions in Jan 2021.
  • Misrepresents direct share registration, omits benefits.
  • Ignores mass investor direct registration, contradicts premise.
  • Unfounded claims on Ryan Cohen's poor business record.
  • Links GameStop investors to criticized fringe subreddit.
  • Claims investors are addicted gamblers harming relationships.
  • Skips shorting mechanics explanation.
  • Excludes & ignores any community initiatives.
  • Omits counter-narrative from industry experts.
  • Unsupported claims to paint GME investors are bigoted, harmful.
