I wanna believe. Very nice. And yeah, people who don't stay strong here send a strong message of not fighting for democracy imo. The more I think about what's going on the more I'm fuming. | ||

Because if that’s the case, I’ll buy some GME. I’d never sell. What I bought was satisfaction. I’d print that paper and frame it. | ||

It's a stonk in this dude's list (pretty easy to spot when finding the similarity to gme and having a glance at the chart). https://www.shortsight.com/gamestop-shorts-down-5-billion-in-2021/ On January 28 2021 10:22 hiro protagonist wrote: What happens on Friday?

At this point I'll just watch it moon for a day or two and then blowoff top would be my guess. | ||

Surely they have some kind of collateral? Other stocks that will be sold to pay the bill? Or is the central bank supposed to step in? Seems unlikely that it would be such a high amount that it would shake up the rest of the market, so they won’t bother jumping in. So who will pay? | ||

So this is Occupy Wall Street without the threat of being pepper sprayed or tear gassed? Nice, guess I'll buy some and just hold for the hell of it. Payback for 2008. | ||

The bill will be due, but insitutionals will always get a bailout A retail naked short in this is always screwed ofc, but they're insignificant. | ||

Basicaly if you "short a stock" and the stock goes up you have to buy the actual stock and pay the difference. The problem is that they shorted WAY more than the "float" or commonly traded volume of stock which meant that they had to repeatedly raise their price to buy stock which caused the price to spike. Then things just kept cascadeing out of hand. but yeah Anyone got odds for if the SEC steps in or we see a hedge fund go bankrupt in the next week? I don't know if Biden has the balls to let whoever is involved with this fail but if he did I'll commit to volunteering for him or whoever he endorses while he's still alive. | ||

I really hope we just start seeing Hedge funds going bankrupt. Their tactics are just gross and profiting off of people's failures. | ||

Tesla just had their sixth consecutive budget I think one prominent short just went bankrupt attempting the exact same thing several weeks ago. | ||

Suddenly a ladder attack tries to tank the stock. the SEC won't investigate shit and we'll probably see congress pass something to stop this from happening ever again. Some people are JUST NOW discovering Reddit admins, at least at the top, are elite shills next step would be discovering their political stance, and how they selectively moderate content across entire platform to favor certain POVs. You might not be ready for this yet. | ||

If the world was to be ruled by a king and we threw out democracy, but took a vote who should be king, Musk would win. The company is valued very highly, but it represents the future to the people, a vision. Imo, Tesla could justify a 3 Trillion market cap in the minds of some. Shorting is like trying to climb up a waterslide, just find a different slide to go down instead. Buying an option and messing up and letting it go to zero is no big deal, you lose 10k but life moves on. Shorting fucks you mentally if you're wrong, trying to cover the position instead until you're bled dry. Unless you have some amazing hypothesis, going long is just better. Even if you're wrong you can still make money because stocks go up long term. On January 28 2021 10:22 hiro protagonist wrote: What happens on Friday? Are the short sellers fucked?

What I bought was satisfaction. I’d print that paper and frame it. Hard to get facts right now, WSB usually uses logic, but right now anything that doesn't get people to buy GME will be downvoted... And the short sellers also have their agenda, saying they closed many of their positions. GME calls expire Friday, but not all of them, just some, which means they will be exercised, which means the positions need to be covered, ie shares purchased from the market driving the price up. We don't know if hedge funds sold naked calls, or if they were covered. We don't know how large the short interest is, the hedge funds could have been stock piling a lot of GME stocks to cover their shorts. I mean, this is a once in a generation type of event that will have people rethink their approach to the market for a long time into the future. On my job site today, stock discussion was rampant, on the radio on my way to work, man. I still think a lot of the non-market players are getting in (which is why I have a six figure play in a meme stock)... It is exciting, cool to be part of the history, even if it's just a couple hundred bucks. | ||

As for Tesla, didn't Nancy Pelosi recently bet on TSLA by buying their stock because Biden was going to push for a government electric vehicle mandate or something? I don't know if I want to bet against her, government insider(ish) trading is everywhere. In fact, this makes me want to help Elon Musk even more tbh, especially after that Gamestonk tweet. All those years of pent-up rage when his own company was shorted by the same hedge funds who kept their foot on his neck the entire time as they did GME, released in one tweet. Revenge is a dish best served cold! | ||
