GME was just a very sophisticated pump n dump. All those dumb Reddit morons have done their shirt ....
Quite likely.. found this:

The Peridot Capital Management newsletter quotes another example of a stock targetted by the Reddit army, AMC, a struggling movie theatre chain, and how the rise in share price benefitted a large holder:
"Silver Lake Partners, a large, well known private equity firm held $600 million of AMC convertible debt due in 2024, which was in a dicey spot with the convert price well into the double digits. Well, they acted fast last week, converting the debt into 44 million shares of equity as the stock surged into the high teens, and selling every single share the same day the stock peaked. That’s right, they go from being one of the largest AMC worrying creditors to being completely out at nice profit in a matter of days. Note to Redditers: that’s how you ring the register!"
 
Im in on Doge coin and "bow wow" so far. Taking some early profits and let the rest run. There's a billion, or billions of coins so I don't think the upside will be that huge. Won't reach the moon, but might hit the top of the barstool.
 
ASX chief warns on GameStop-style trading frenzy

Things have quietened down on the WallStreetBets front, but something tells me we haven't heard the last from those guys yet. I bet there are plenty of disillusioned millennials who now have brokerage accounts and are waiting patiently for the next big thing.
It's too unfocused (well more than usual anyway) to get hard hits. They ran into pot stocks and pumped them, which then crashed. Just the numbers of people watching now allows it to move things hard.
 
It's back baby.

After watching the WB guys half ass this rally, they finally managed to kick it over. Not sure it has the power, or numbers of the first
 
Go boy!! Just don't be the last one in the pool or you'll go down the way of these little fishies :)

2021 has been interesting (investing/gambling wise). NFT's seem even more ridiculous. Time to make some shitty jpegs and pretend to be an artist.
 
one might think an aggregate 140% short position on a stock , was a recipe for some sort of disaster , regardless of mass participation

who DIDN'T seem to participate much early on was the SEC .. ( too many buddies lined up for a piece of the kill perhaps ?? )

a mathematically inclined person might have been starting to scrutinize the trading as soon as net short positions approached 95% ( because surely some of those positions were naked shorts )
 
The overall value of this piece also appllies to a number of other theads across Business Economics & etc.etc
 
so where do you look ?


now i hold some of those

what chance will WGX ( i hold ) come back to an attractive top up price OR NIC ( i hold ) rise to a juicy reduction price ?

as examples
 
GME is not that bad. Sales 5,200,000,000 USD Net equity 1,338,000,000. Loss of 31Mil. Mkt Cap 5,200,000,000USD

DJT Sales 4million ( yes, that is correct). Equity negative 66Million. Mkt Cap 6,900,000,000USD.

The world is full of fools.
