The constant nitpicking of everything black folks do by other black folks is killing us too.

The money was invested as a learning tool for a kid. They weren't trying to make a shyt-ton of money for the whole family with the small amount of money used to teach breh a lesson. From what I gather in the article, the mother is already an investor who was just drawing her son into the game to get him educated. That seems like that was accomplished here. I'm sure she has her own investments outside of this.
But of course the hater's have to come on "THATS NICE BUT THIS IS WHY ITS BAD!".
On top of that, if I was little dude and flipped 60 bucks into 3200, I'd be hooked on doing this some more. There will be more stocks besides Gamestop in the future and given this seed the mother helped plant in the son, he is probably going to be on top of those too if he keeps it up and get a chance to make some more money. The Gamestop thing isn't a lesson in long-term investment it is a lesson in the short-term gambling nature of investing. Luckily breh was already in on this stock 2 years ago and it paid off.
