Every GameStop I was ever in could use a good disinfecting and this was before The Plague.

I read a four point article that intended to explain this whole thing to me in four points.

Glasses fogged up, eyes glazed over.

Lol if you think this is a pump and dump you’re fucking retarded. This situation have far unique circumstances like no other, not even the vw squeeze in 2008. They sure did a damn illegal job of halting “just” buys and crushing morale. It will climb back up but won’t have the momentum it had before. At this point, if you’re not already in, don’t bother
Its exactly like a pump and dump. The stock is worth about $5. People got together and piled in, look at the comments "BUY BUY BUY. DONT SELL".

Thats a classic pump and dump.

As far as being in or out, the stock is a casino. Its anyones guess. Its is gaining and losing 50% of its value within an hour. If you setup up a limit order, it might be fruitful.

I am far from an expert, but the script of the entire GameStop escapade couldn’t match the ending of Trading Placesa any more closely. ... unless someone adds in a gorilla.

The fact that you didn’t mention anything about the shorts and % ( honestly not like I expected you to) means again you don’t know how or why this even happened

I didn’t start this post to be part of some pissing match so I’m done with the thread. I just wanted to see if there were others in the rocket to the moon.

At this point, no way to know how things pan out.

Also that “rebound” isn’t what you think it is, after hours is Just continual manipulation by institutions

All I know is I am setting up a short on this stock as soon as it hits over $400. Its a no brainer.

Game Stock the company is worth $5 a share, and once this foolishish dies down, it will actually be great for the shorts.

This is definitely going to the moon. The other highly shorted stocks aren't past 100% short, so the hedge funds can wiggle their way out of those, but $GME is their kryptonite. This morning it started off at 250% short - whoever is shorting in the foreseeable future is just going to be getting wrung out and left out to dry until that short percentage of float goes under 100%. It isn't unimaginable that $GME may approach $BTC - but i think actual regulators may step in by then.

I don't see it happening. The hype of this is fully out there. The money is in. It could pop to $1000 or heck maybe even $2000; but $30,000? Not a chance.

Also, what people aren't reporting on, is that the hedge funds are also in there playing the long game now. They can close shorts, reopen them. Go long. Etc.

The initial story that the hedge funds got screwed and the little guy made out is true, but you are only as good as your last trade, when this stocok returns to its proper valuation, which will happen, the shorts will make out and many of the buyer will be left with nothing.

Don’t have any patience to figure this out, but if it is about spanking the Goldman Sachs Boys, count me in. I remember those bastards when I was working, and several of them tried their hand at public service with miserable and predictable results.

there's a few reports of fractional shares being taken out at $2600-ish per share yesterday, during the time when retail was locked out of buying, so all buying was short covering by the hedge funds. HODL.
This is true and I know people personally this happened. But this is more of an algorithm failure that desperate moves

GME did the impossible, it brought Cruz and AOC together.


https://finance.yahoo.com/news/how-...ory-is-part-of-5-bigger-trends-130701087.html


But maybe craziest was an exchange between AOC and Sen. Ted Cruz. At 11:36 a.m. on Thursday the congresswoman tweeted her outrage over Robinhood blocking retail investors “while hedge funds are freely able to trade the stock as they see fit.” At 11:48 a.m., Cruz replied “Fully agree.”

This is so crazy that even AOC and Cruz agree? That lasted 58 minutes. At 12:46 p.m. AOC tweeted out: “I am happy to work with Republicans on this issue where there’s common ground, but you almost had me murdered 3 weeks ago so you can sit this one out.” Over three quarters of a million people liked that.

There’s a lot of surface fluff, we’ll see if anything “actually” changes, I doubt it. Aoc was in twitch and even admitted these companies literally fund the politicians and they would have to choose between their support or finding it elsewhere and we all know who majority will probably choose

There will be others. The pump won’t last as long and the dump will happen sooner than expected. The big boys are developing new algorithms to protect them when it or something similar comes along.
