January 27, 20214 yr Per my understanding, the #stonk thread is where speculative horsefuckery is large. Fify.
January 27, 20214 yr Oh don't get me wrong. I am in no way disparaging speculation or fucking horses.
January 27, 20214 yr I do love that the AMC/BB/GME fun distracts me from the fact that the rest of the market is a collapsing neutron star right now.
January 27, 20214 yr Cavuto already broaching the "bailout" hedge funds talk . . . Too big to fail = rigged casino

January 27, 20214 yr Robinhood put out a "warning" about market volatility...says if you think of the market as supply and demand you are not taking the underlying factors into consideration and sometimes that can lead to recession...yadda yada...paraphrasing They are going to try and fuck us...

January 28, 20214 yr 4 hours ago, sidis said: you, of course, could be correct...but it is an interesting collection of companies that were seeing all this volume over the last ten days. why would shorters of iron mountain or dillards think a gamestop mob was coming for them? and given their positions in those companies and melvin's shorting strategy, i disagree that blackrock had NO incentive to take them down. that said, it does seem like the benefits are small potatoes for the risk of bringing all the shit that could rain down on them for this. but the activity in that specific basket of companies is just very odd. seems like some force is leading the wsb mob by the nose and directing them to companies that have a very consistent pattern. a bull raid on highly shorted stock isnt a new concept, so its not a stretch to think that the GME run would cascade to other targets, whether by independent actors or coordinated groups. and thus its also not surprising that if you have a short in these companies, you'd probably be very on-edge. i bet a google trend and traffic analytics of search terms or the websites and articles listing highly-shorted target is very interesting. the GME run started 2 weeks ago, when it gapped from 20 to 40. so could it be 1 specific ring leader? sure, but even a simpleton like myself was already sniffing around for short targets before this week
January 28, 20214 yr @Eastwood I took the liberty of publishing this as an article for you - this was a fucking incredible post.
January 28, 20214 yr [mention=247]Eastwood[/mention] I took the liberty of publishing this as an article for you - this was a fucking incredible post. It was quite a surprise when I saw that pop up to the top. I truly am flattered and somewhat shocked/humbled by the response the post got. I'm still kind of in shock that I'm on the sidelines now.Again, thank you all for the kind words, stay safe, and Hook'em.

January 28, 20214 yr short interest in GME still above 100% lol. watched german trading push GME above $500. it was beautiful, and full of stars. game is far from over. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EsyqUuWXUAIxv4Q?format=jpg&name=small

January 28, 20214 yr What I find hilarious is the big firms inability to understand their sunk cost, and instead of truly closing out their short positions just walking away from $GME, and letting the bubble naturally deflate, they can’t help themselves and start trying to short it again. It’s a toxic relationship and they keep coming back.
January 28, 20214 yr It's pathetic how the media is fixated on the reddit part of this and not on the big boys who should know better pushing the shorts over 100% of outstanding shares. I don't even buy that the reddit brigade has the capital to pull this off. Other institutional investors have to be in on the short squeeze too.

January 28, 20214 yr this is legitimately not funny. many brokerages are blocking customers from buying shares. you can ONLY SELL YOUR EXISTING HOLDINGS. one of the brokerages is Robinhood - whom Citadel buys orderflow from (to skimp off the top). Citadel is the one that bailed out Melvin. theyre trying to create panic selling
January 28, 20214 yr Cant purchase shares or options on robinhood....gme going to fucked today I think

January 28, 20214 yr at the start of this, i was dismissive of GME as a business case, and i rode the train only to profit on the tendies. now im in it emotionally. fuck them
January 28, 20214 yr I’m a boring, Bogle head, index investor. A basic bitch who loves low volatility, compound returns, and dividends. When I start paying attention, that means it’s too late. Edited January 28, 20214 yr by Bateshorn
