The president of the NASDAQ has called on financial regulators to step in after a group of Reddit users drove up the price of GameStop stock.

在一群Reddit用户推高GameStop股票价格后，纳斯达克的总统呼吁金融监管机构介入。

The Redditors — members of a forum called WallStreetBets, which has more than 2.5 million members — banded together to buy up GameStop stock after realizing that the hedge fund Melvin Capital had shorted the stock to a massive extent. GameStop’s shares have soared as a result, while Melvin Capital was forced to receive a $2.75 billion cash infusion from fellow hedge funds Citadel and Point72 Capital Management to cover their losses.

reddit的用户是一个名为WallStreetBets的论坛的成员，该论坛拥有超过250万的会员。在意识到对冲基金Melvin Capital大规模做空GameStop股票后，他们联合起来购买GameStop的股票。GameStop的股价因此飙升，而Melvin Capital被迫从对冲基金Citadel和Point72 Capital Management获得27.5亿美元的现金注入，以弥补亏损。

Meanwhile, the Redditors have seen massive returns on their investments, with user Roaring Kitty, who first exposed Melvin’s short position, reportedly turning a $50,000 bet on GameStop into more than $30 million as of Wednesday afternoon.

与此同时，红迪网的用户们也看到了他们的投资获得了巨大的回报，用户咆哮的Kitty是第一个曝光梅尔文的空头头寸的人，据报道，截至周三下午，它将在GameStop上的5万美元押注变成了超过3000万美元。

With Melvin Capital reeling from the Redditor short squeeze, NASDAQ president and CEO Adena Friedman suggested that additional regulations may be necessary to prevent retail investors from coordinating on social media

梅尔文资本(Melvin Capital)受到reddit用户卖空的打击，纳斯达克总裁兼首席执行官阿德娜•弗里德曼(Adena Friedman)建议，可能有必要出台更多监管措施，以防止散户投资者在社交媒体上相互协调

“As we look at these new technologies that are available to anyone, including investors, I think it’s also important for regulators to understand that manipulation is manipulation, whether it’s happening through a new technology medium or it’s happening through traditional mail,” Friedman told CNBC’s Squawk Box on Wednesday. “I think it’s just a matter of making sure we understand what the behavior is, what’s underpinning the behavior, and working appropriately with regulators to manage the situation.”

弗里德曼周三在接受CNBC Squawk Box采访时表示:“当我们看到任何人都可以使用这些新技术时，包括投资者，我认为监管机构也应该明白，操纵就是操纵，无论是通过新技术媒体还是通过传统邮件。”“我认为，关键是要确保我们了解这种行为是什么，是什么支撑了这种行为，并与监管机构适当合作，以管理这种情况。”

Friedman also told CNBC that the NASDAQ would be monitoring social media and would “halt stock if we match chatter with unusual activity in stocks.”

弗里德曼还对CNBC表示，纳斯达克将密切关注社交媒体，并"如果我们将传言与股市异常活动联系起来，将暂停股票交易。"

Firms already appear to be rethinking strategy as Reddit investors continue to buy up GameStop stock, Bloomberg reported on Wednesday. The firm Citron Capital has closed its own short bet on GameStop with a loss of 100 percent, while another, Muddy Waters Capital, has reduced its short positions in recent days.
