**EDIT** they are going after wall street firms that are shorting almost 100% on the stock and making a killing doing it  Attached File |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Please explain it like I'm 5.... also how does AMC play into this? Wall Street played a dangerous game, people found out, and made them hate life. Basically, they agreed to sell stocks (at a later date) they didn't have and for the price before this all started. Too many did this, to the point where the number exceeded the amount available. Reddit started buying up shares knowing Wall Street would have to buy them at market price, which is now insanely inflated, up over 1000% this month. |

Wallstreet shorted Gamestop for a quick buck, but people found out about it and started buying the stock en masse to inflate the value. Short selling is insanely risky, because your losses have no floor. You can theoretically lose and infinite amount of money during a short sale. I approve of any draining of Wallstreet capital. They profit on our woes and suffering on the daily and help fund the swamp. Get rekt, kids.

The banks won’t bleed.
They’re the ones driving the price up as they have to swing the other way to cover the losses on the short. Many will get rich, but many retail investors don’t understand the game, can’t explain the Greeks, or options, short squeeze etc.. and will get burned. The banks will always win, and when they don’t, they do because a bailout will save them. This country, world in fact is ran by a bank. This is not q anon conspiracy. What you’re seeing is people being enlightened to a certain aspect of the game. |

You lose bigly while they win bigly. AMC was what you thought people weren't going to do anything with, but you were wrong. The people decided to love AMC just to fuck you in the ass. I think that's it. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I'm not sure I do either. I just know that there are some creative rules being abused. You have a stock at $10 you think will go down. You take a loan out against that stock and immediately sell it. After a year the stock is $7.50. You buy the stock back and pay off the loan. Your profit is 2.50 minus any interest. When a lot of folks buy something the price goes up. Supply/demand like with our ammo situation. Basically you bought 5.56 at 40 cents a round thinking it would get cheaper and you could buy it back later for your shoot in a year. Except now 5.56 is 1.25 so now you have buy back at 85 cents higher. You've "lost" 85 cents a round. WSB rocket bros have driven gamestop to high levels to make it more expensive for people shorting the stock. |
