No, I have friends who have put thousands on the line who are happy to lose it if it bankrupts Melvin Capital.
Do you honestly believe these people aren't motivated by profit, when they are clearly entering long positions with the intention of driving up GME's price? It's straight up doublespeak.
I threw in 1k with the hope that it will cost some billionaires a lot of money. I'm ready to lose it. Shorts already lost 100+ billion this month.
So now you're out $1000. You contributed to a scheme which ironically was a net loss for retail. If this were really not about making a profit, you'd see people donating their gains or buying shares for other people, and nobody would be cashing out. Are you still in the trade? What are you going to do with your gain/loss?
