It’s a pretty select group of hedge fund managers that have the ability to manipulate the market and creat speculative bubbles. It’s a zero sum game and for them to gain someone else has to lose, and it’s nice to see them on the losing side. Markets should be investment based tide to a rational foundational base, not a handful of assholes lying.

Question is, should we all throw a couple thou in? Even at $500 it may double or triple still!

Not sure but I don’t know if the hedge fund guys are going to keep shorting. If they do their screwed. Probably get a bailout too.

There are a bunch of out there.
My brother in law’s friend has a position now worth almost $48M. I told my BIL to tell his idiot friend to sell immediately

Dude, your boy might be a billionaire by the end of the day. $GME is almost $500 pre market trading.

There was a hedge fund that was shorting a stock. For a 5 year old, that means they wanted the stock to go down. The hedge fund was shorting the stock because they thought Gamestop was an old, antiquated business model that operated out of strip malls and sold video games on disc drives like cd-rom.

However, the hedge funds kind of got ahead of themselves. They were short more shares than actually existed. Basically they were way over leveraged.

As it turns out, Gamestop ended up making a deal with microsoft to distribute games electronically (not 100% sure about this part). Additionally, video games have really taken off during Corona as people dont havet much else to do while at home. At the same time Microsoft and Sony have come out with new consoles which draws customers to the Gamestop stores. Turns out Gametsop wasn't dead afterall.

So, Reddit users got to conversing and determined that Gamestop was undervalued and people should buy the stock. They were in a thread with over 2 million people in it, and they all decided to throw money at the GME stock. The other side of the bet was a hedge fund. As the stock started to rise because of redditors, the hedge funds were forced to close their bets that the stock would go down. In order to do that they actually had to buy the stock which extenuated the circumstnaces. So a stock that was trading $10 a share is now trading $300 plus.

TLDR: reddit nerds beat hedge fund at their own game and hedge funds are crying.

Go For them. F those Fn cakes that short stock. They all play with fake money. The Masses will always win. Then you have the biden Crew Commenting on it.

What part of "like I'm 5" did you guys not understand.

Dude...i am in the same boat. For the life of me, I can't understand this one. I have a decent amount of cash lying around. It could have been me. Feels bad man.

Here is a fantastic Twitter thread explaining the backstory on this. I, too, needed someone to explain it to me like I’m 5 and this guy does pretty well. For the record, the hedge funds shorted GME down from $20/share to $4, that’s when Reddit got involved. Holy mother fucking shit!

I could have used this prior to GameStop being $300+/share. Back to being poor white trash. Carry on fellas.

Most of this crowd came over from tmb, so we might as well over-use the fuck out of shit here too. Just my 2 cents, take it with a grade of slaw.

 

[MVTPatriot]

So what should I tell my financial adviser today? OR ask?

For the few that make a killing off this, many more people are gonna lose their ass (outside of the hedgefund)

 

[dirtytoeddawg]

So, are they going to call margins today or what?

I agree it was funny. But I have probably read or heard it pronounced that way 300 times the last couple days. It jumped the shark.

 

[RHT 3]

LOL at the hedge funds, bunch of parasites......

I fully expect Big Investment to whine about it and ask DC for help because they got their as handed to them.

No bigger group of entitled, selfish, spoiled assholes than big money managers.

I like this coordinated counterfeit share theory on WSB. Hedgefunds got greedy, over played the production of counterfeit stock, WSB noticed something was fishy and bought to hold to fvck with them, unknowing of the counterfeit stock. Now retail investors own 100% plus of GME and risk exposing fraud of the hedgefunds that could potentially collapse the financial system.
