Quote HistoryQuoted: Rage is how their pockets are so deep. Right now robinhood is being swamped by people trying to get in on this signing up to the app. Its like that scene in lord of the rings when the Rohirrim arrive to buy more stonks. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: My Father said that the $200 puts on GME are $10,600 for one put. I am new to puts/calls but that is a huge risk. 100 shares per put, etc. The Reddit army may keep things up to spite people buying puts but I don't see how their pockets are so deep. Rage is how their pockets are so deep. Right now robinhood is being swamped by people trying to get in on this signing up to the app. Its like that scene in lord of the rings when the Rohirrim arrive to buy more stonks. Don’t get me wrong. I’m not a big fan of hedge funds but rage isn’t the real driver. It’s an excuse people make to themselves to justify buying a stock that goes against what is really going on. People just want to get in on the action and make money. It will crash when some of the big money pulls out soon. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: So how do you make money on this when the stock goes back down to where it "should be"? By watching for pump and dumps. The pattern with pennys seems to be, grab it while it's at a low for the year, wait for news or some hype, and get ready to sell when people pile on. Rinse and repeat. If you buy when there is news you are likely to end up holding it after it tanks. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: There is so much money and big players involved there is no way they will allow this to happen. Why Redditt was down today I assume. Allowing it to happen crushes one hedge fund company. Blowing the whistle and stopping it from happening crushes the entire system and throws the whole world into chaos. So they'll probably do the second one. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Wouldn’t that be fraud? Dealing in shares that don’t exist? ^^^^^^^^^^[[ Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: in a nut shell A hedge fund (basically just some guys who can invest money into anything) borrowed shares of game stop from another investment company and then sold those shares to who ever wanted to buy them on the stock market. They did this, hoping the price of game stop would fall. Basically if they sold the shares at $20 a share, then the price fell to $10, they would have made $10 in profits. Well, r/wallstreetbets saw this and decided just to start buying all the game stop stocks and options they could to drive the price up, law of supply and demand, in turn causing the hedgefund to lose money on the trade. You also need to add in that they did this so much that they lent out more shares than actually exist. Wouldn’t that be fraud? Dealing in shares that don’t exist? ^^^^^^^^^^[[  Welcome to the synthetic market. |

This whole kabal shows how much the deck is stacked against the individual investor.
A bunch of people band together, crush a hedge fund giant, and now the regulators and market movers are going to let YOU know who the real power is. The exchange is talking about suspending trades for 30 days. They shut down the stock multiple times over the last few days to let the big money catch up. That's now how this should work. It's disgusting, really. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: do you really think multi billion dollar hedge fund / investment companies are just going to allow this to happen? the hammer is about to drop. dont for a second think the common folk have a chance in this country anymore. Normally I'd agree with you. But this particular instance is unique. The short interest is 140% of float. In order to drive the price down the hedge funds put themselves further in the red, and it didn't work. In fact over the course of the week short interest has gone up slightly. To follow on, many of the investors on WSB have made serious money this year and actually have capital (not all). It's very possible that the biggest hedge funds in this are literally backed into a corner and the only way they can get out is to break the spirit of the investors, and if you read WSB, the vast majority of them are seeing this as the little guy vs the big guy. Keep in mind Blackrock, one of the biggest fund managers, holds a significant number of shares already that they bought before all of this (my guess is for the sole purpose of loaning to short sellers). To pile on the stock has been so volatile that the market makers are helping to fuel this just to keep their P&L from crashing. If retail investors hold a significant enough percentage of the actual shares to prevent the hedge funds from being able to cover (very likely), they just need to hold onto their shares to drive a short squeeze. They've made it clear they intend to hold. The price may fluctuate, but if the shares aren't there to cover the short positions, the hedge funds will literally go bankrupt. This is real. |
