Quick question, why not short GME now? This wave might go much larger, but certainly it will crash back down closer to its $15 sometime in the next week’s/months

Quoted: So do I buy a bunch of AMC or what? View Quote Only if you have the ability to day trade. I think it’ll skyrocket tomorrow, since most people are just learning about this tonight. But it will probably come crashing down pretty quickly. Whether that’s hours, days, or weeks from now, no one knows. |

Quoted: So NOW is probably a good time to short gamestop? Imagine the $$ to be made when it plummets View Quote Your short needs to be after the squeeze occurs. At some point when the float is less than 100% it my make sense but right now the incentive to hold the stock is because it is being shorted. You want to wait till the people holding GME are incentivized to start selling. It will probably cascade then. |

Or the SEC fixes this “glitch” and things are back to normal in 2 weeks? The million dollar question |

Quoted: @raven , Did TD halt trading on the stocks period or just option trading? View Quote Well they kicked me off for about an hour costing me $$ cause I had puts on ROKU I was trying to get out. Was finally able to get back into my account and by then it was too late of course. Then they wouldn't fill me on trying to put order in to buy call on AMC. Finally got filled 30 min before close. Whole thing was full of fuckery. |

Quoted: They are back now View Quote The best part, there's no limit to the downside of a short. It's like buying a security where the most you can lose is what you bought it for if it goes to 0%. The losses can be endless with a short. As I mentioned previously once the shorts are called in they HAVE to sell to cover it and they lose more and more money as the stock price goes up. It drives up the price. It's a self fulfilling disaster for a while Lot of "media" crap about the SEC should investigate. The investigation should be the hedge funds and their brokers that gave them the credit and means to short >120% of available shares of a stock. It didn't happen by accident. You are "supposed" to prove to the broker that you have the ability cover your shorts and cover the 20%+ interest the broker chargers. Well orchestrated cluster fuck, till it wasn't. |

Quoted: This play is making me so happy. One of the main guys at one of these funds owns a resort by me that imports liberal after liberal to my town. Schmoozed with our liberal governor. Pushed gun gun control here. I'm so giddy that he's going to get fucked hardcore. To the point where his tax haven resorts go under. There are atleast 20 people in the area that made some accounts this past week to get in on ruining his company. Yesterday the resort was supposed to open again to new reservations. It halted all new reservations. They got absolutely fucked by covid. And now are getting fucked because their big daddy ain't making money. View Quote Good. Very good. |

They will attempt to fulfill your TV order when the store opens in the morning. But if the TV costs more in the morning, you won't get it.

One of the drivers of GME has been the options. WSB buys the highest prices most out of the money calls, forcing the option seller to buy the stock, sucking shares from the short sellers. As the price climbs they have to buy more and more to hedge their option. Friday when it topped out at what 80? the top option was $70. That's what stopped it. Two days ago it got to 150 with the top option at $200. Wednesday $320 was top option and it blew past that but settled about there. Thursday it will be $570.
I'm kind of shocked they did this. Not adding any higher priced options would be a good way to make it tougher to drive higher. Just for reference today there was 34k contracts traded for the 320 call expiring this Friday. There was 3100 of the $310, 4k of the $300 and less and less as you went lower. It's all about yolo'ing the highest contract expiring the soonest, which is an idiotic trade normally, but that's the beauty of all of this. These guys are wrecking the system by going long the absolute dumbest, worst garbage ass stocks. It's beautiful. |

Payne sounds off on Wall St over GameStop: All of this whining is making me sick |

@WhiskersTheCat @beitodesstrafe @PraesidiumFabrica @SBR_Slut
Check this shit out! Professional investors are worried: How can financial markets function when stock movements are so obviously disconnected from fundamentals, played by both sides like a videogame?After a sharp correction midday Monday, GameStop on Tuesday rose a further 93%, bringing its total gain since Jan. 11 to more than 600%. Those worries are understandable but overblown. Here, a little international comparison is helpful: Unlike some other major global equity markets, frenetic individual investors are far from the point where they are really disrupting the real purpose of equity markets—to help companies to raise capital. View Quote Insert Bagdad Bob meme here. And in the next breath... The origins of the surge are in the prevalent belief among Wall Street sharps -- professional investors -- that GameStop's stock, even before this recent spike, was overvalued. After all, shopping malls are in a long decline -- "Malls are doomed: 25% will be gone in 5 years," read a CNN headline in 2017 -- that has only been exacerbated by the Covid-19 pandemic. As a result of the belief among the pro investor crowd that GameStop was, essentially, doomed, they began shorting the stock -- essentially betting on it to fail. This happens all the time to a variety of stocks with very little fanfare. It is the way of the modern stock market. Except that this time, amateur investors decided to revolt against the pros. Using Reddit -- and a subreddit known as r/wallstreetbets -- the amateurs began a coordinated effort of buying GameStop stock to drive its price higher and higher. (It's worth noting that Reddit was also a gathering spot for some of the most ardent Trump supporters in 2016.) That effort to screw the pros -- people with a short position on a stock that is surging have major vulnerabilities the higher the stock goes -- got an unexpected boost from none other than iconoclast-in-chief and Tesla founder Elon Musk, who tweeted "Gamestonk!" with a link to the "wallstreetbets" subreddit on Tuesday. View Quote And there it is. Literally hitler and the nazis are undermining the pros at wallstreet. TrUsT uS wE aRe PrOfEsHuNaLs! ThIs Is NoRmAl! DoNt Do ThAt! Muh Stonks! Muh hedge fundz! |

Shorting a stock has risk. Who would have thought the higher the risk the higher the reward. Don't think you need to be a professional to figure that out. But hey we reduce our risk by helping drive down the price of the stocks that we are shorting through the media and such. You can't make a produce and lie about it in an ad, but you can lie all you want on an investment show about how doomed a company is while you are making a killing driving the price down.
As mentioned before, as long as they still have a short posistion the amount of losses is endless unlike buying a stock you can only lose how much you paid for it. It's a great less they are being taught. Risk versus reward. |
