Quoted: In the brief period of time that I've followed GME it's become really clear that data has often been both incorrect, delayed, and misinterpreted. The one thing that is 100% easy to see is that the price action of the stocks was perfectly typical of a short squeeze both on the way up and on the way down. The details of how that played out from a data perspective might take a few days to a few weeks to really shake out. Bloomberg was reporting earlier this week that short interested had cratered over the course of the squeeze as was down near 50% earlier this week...which by definition is what drives the squeeze (the act of shorts covering their positions). The conspiracy theories and data from self interested parties are fine but at some point you have to believe your own eyes.

Leader of 'Roaring Kitty' is being investigated by securities regulators for potentially breaking rules governing brokers after placing huge bet on GameStop a year ago
The YouTuber known as Roaring Kitty, who became the face of the GameStop stock frenzy and also worked until last week as a broker, could be in legal trouble for potential violations of federal rules governing brokers' communications with the public. Keith Gill, 34, placed a huge bet on GameStop shares more than a year ago and shared his ideas about the stock online in the months leading up to the 'meme stock' bubble. But his commentary may create a problem for Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Co., which employed him and had a duty to supervise him. Securities regulators in Massachusetts are said to be investigating Gill and his former day job as a financial wellness education director at insurance company MassMutual. The company told regulators that it was unaware of Gill's YouTube videos promoting GameStop stock, and that if it had known it would have asked him to stop or fired him, according to the New York Times. Although he didn't advise specific clients on investments or insurance, he was not exempt from regulations that tightly regulate brokers' conduct, securities lawyers have suggested to the Wall Street Journal. The once obscure YouTuber has become an unlikely celebrity in the clash between small investors and big hedge funds, and is seen by some as a folk hero and others as a dangerous disruptor of markets.

Does it look like the hedgefunds "got out on Tuesday haha they didn't lose anything ,sorry you rubes" is what really happened? They also realized they can't "regulate" this without it becoming a problem. Either dementia-man upsets the bernie base by helping wallstreet. Or he upsets his corporate bankrollers by giving the bernie people what they want. Solution! Gulag for the guy who can use excel. |

Quoted: What a fucking tragedy this turned out to be, so many people lost so much. View Quote Basically just a big pump and dump of epic proportions. This one had the especially strong combination of FOMO and the whole "Let's stick it to the evil bankers" angle. The only people who did well made their money at the expense of the bagholders. Now the same clowns who pulled this GME/AMC crap are pumping up worthless DOGEcoin which is also going to screw a lot of people over. |

Quoted: Whatever happened with the SLV and silver stuff? View Quote Many say the squeeze hasn't actually happened fully yet especially for AMC. many speculate that the funds never go out. this Tuesday there will be data available showing the amount of short percentage. If is a lot like many speculate expect a run of people buying the stock again Aloha Fotima |

I’ll have to check to see which numbers they were changing. I believe the short interest is considerably higher than that. I don’t think it’s over. |

For every winner their is a loser. Such is life. Anyone who expected GME to stay high was crazy. The ass was always going to fall out of it at some point. People shouldn’t have risked more than they could handle losing. |

View Quote Many of the reddit folks know this and their goals are not to make money. Their goals are are to keep holding and make things as difficult as they can for the hedge funds shorting GME on the way down. They’re not stupid, they know what they are doing, and it is of their own free will. Their money, their rules. YMMV |
