    It's almost like people who are influenced by memes are a major contributor to the market...

    What are you talking about? The meme economy is just evolving, bro.
    It has found its way into crypto and now it is heading towards more conventional investments. It was inevitable >.>

    But in all seriousness, it does piss me off just a little more than im comfortable with.

    Reality is hilarious at times. :blobrofl:

    Also, someone actually backed up their claims and went to court against Robinhood during this time. :blobphone:

    The scum from Trading 212 also played dirty. I hope that IB also gets sued to the fucking ground. Which probably ain't gonna happen...

    It's funny how paying fines is cheaper than playing by the rules.

    DFV is the messiah! If this was reddit, I would call him a r***** and say FU (WallStreetBets lingo for their own homies), but this is NUF, so thanks for being a legend, DFV! :blob_pompom::blob_pompom::blob_pompom::blob_pompom::blob_pompom:

    Shrug, "the markets can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent" is still valid as it was 80 or so years ago.

    The price of GME is past meme and into the Ponzi scheme level, but the people at the tail end and the hedge funds will get burned so meh.

    Yep, got in on it thanks to a friend who tipped me off on a reddit post he saw. As of yesterday he no longer has a mortgage and I've increased my nest egg. GG.

    (y) Gamestop was the most shorted stock and the big bois shorted more stock than are available. It's not purely because of memes. There's a reason why this is happening.

    One of the reasons why $GME is a gold mine for the retail investor, is because this defining event, a "Short Squeeze".

    Financial Firms (Hedge Funds) basically shorted Gamestop into oblivion. With a short float of roughly 140%~
    The reason why this is special is because, it is the most shorted stock in the market. And Friday we may see something really big, because that's when the "Shorters" have to buy back the stocks they sold.

    Basically these Firms sold stock they don't own at an average price between ($20-$5). They were hoping for the stock price to plummet below $5 to make a profit.

    The users on reddit, after doing their due diligence (DD) in research. Realized this opportunity.

    Buying a Stock increases the prices VS Selling a stock decreases prices. So by buying into the cheap stock, these retail investors basically increased the price. The Financial Firms don't want this, so they continue to sell stock they don't own, to decrease the price (Shorting).

    See this type of back and forth would continue if the short float of a stock is less than 100%, but there is not enough shares of stock as it has been oversold.

    So the moment these financial firms are forced to pay up, they will literally raise the price unwillingly. It's why they halted trading many times in the past couple days, its why they've been trying to use media to scare retail investors into selling. They wan't to bring the price down so they don't lose more money.
