Abstract(s)
A presente dissertação pretende analisar o mais recente fenómeno das meme stocks– em
especial, o caso da GameStop Corporation, em curso desde o início de 2021 – e a sua
adequação ao atual paradigma legal e social. Posteriormente, introduzem-se os objetivos da
regulação dos mercados de capitais e a Efficient Capital Markets Hypothesis, donde se infere
que a própria dinâmica e processos do mercado tendem a torná-lo mais eficaz. Segue-se uma
reflexão sobre a regulação e dinâmica de funcionamento dos mercados de capitais, à luz da
conduta da corretora Robinhood Financial LLC e da Securities and Exchange Comission face
às circunstâncias.
This article aims to examine the most recent phenomenon of meme stocks - in particular, the case of GameStop Corporation, which has been ongoing since early 2021 - and its suitability to the current legal and social paradigm. Subsequently, the goals of capital markets regulation and the Efficient Capital Markets Hypothesis are introduced, from which it is inferred that the very market dynamics and processes tend to increase the efficiency of the latter. Following this, we discuss the regulation and functioning dynamics of the capital markets in light of the behavior of the brokerage firm Robinhood Financial LLC and the Securities and Exchange Commission under the circumstances.
