Would you like to actually engage with the content of the article?

Edit: my snark was unwarranted, as commenters helped me realize. Apologies.

vga805··on Hedge fund Melvin sustains 53% loss after Reddit onslaught
In one of the comments Ihor said the algorithm will be running overnight to get a better idea of the actual number...

Is it actually plausible that an algorithm running on presumably one stock needs to run for over a day?

I believe S3, they've been reliable so far. But with this much money at stake, it wouldn't surprise me if they've been bought out to spread misinformation.

vga805··on ‘Meme stock’ rally rescues AMC theaters from $600M debt
I never said they chose to. I know all about the DTCC and its rules.

I've also taken out 5x my initial investment. I've been trying to minimize exactly that kind of regret along the way.

I would love to hold and see it going to the moon but I will likely have a few limit sell orders open before monday morning.

Big banks own upwards of twice as much as retail. What is the big banks target price and what is retails target price?

Over on WSB they're going nuts claiming that 5k isn't a meme.

The banks aren't holding until then. If they decide to offload at, say, 600, then retail will be left with the bag since the bank selloff will drop the price down dramatically.

That's the claim as I've seen it made on the /r/stocks subreddit.

I have a lot of shares. In at $17. I'm not sure what to think. I've already taken out 5x my initial investment. I've been doing as much research as I can to determine how high this could go, partially for my own benefit, but I also want to "hold the line."

Who knows what would have happened had RobinHood and others not shut down buying. I'm pretty sure I would have retired.

vga805··on The Irony in the GameStop Story
Andrew Left of Citron Research today announced that Citron will no longer research and invest in shorts. They will now cover long positions. He's trying to reverse his image with WallStreetBets. I hope it is in good faith, he likely just sees an opportunity.

vga805··on Robinhood now has a 1-Star rating on the Google Play Store
So what? I know it's a highly speculative move. I know it's absurd to buy this stock at this price. But we should be allowed to. (Obviously not on margin).

I don't really think the market should allow for this sort of thing. I agree with you there. But that's how the rules are written, and now when the little guy figures out the rules they shut it down.

vga805··on Robinhood now has a 1-Star rating on the Google Play Store
Wrong. The bull case was made for GME as far back as late 2019, and it gained momentum this year.

Nothing different than Jim Cramer talking up a stock on CNBC every fucking night.

Edit: I know this because I watched a youtube video from a popular redditor named deepfuckingvalue a few weeks ago and bought into the thesis fully as a value investment. He goes under the name RoaringKitty on youtube.

I lost multiple years worth of salary this morning when RobinHood decided to stop selling GME.

WSBs has 2 million users. What on earth makes you think 1000 redditors is hard to believe? It was likely hundreds of thousands before it went viral.

Shorting 140% of the float no less. This falls entirely on these big funds.

vga805··on The Battle of GameStop
good point, to clarify the bull thesis wasn't bullish to the current absurdity. i think the bull case is a good one but im not going to lay out the case here. check out the user RoaringKitty 's videos on youtube from a few months ago. (the stock was hovering around 4 then)

right now though the chaos has nothing to do with the underlying value. now it's all about the squeeze. but that's never been part of the bull thesis

vga805··on The Battle of GameStop
the bull thesis has been laid out in detail for months and it's a good one, this is organic interest, Ryan Cohen and others coming over from Chewy was the most recent catalyst
vga805··on Gaming the system: How GameStop stock surged
Will it? Wouldn't all the WSB holders need to continue to hold? I imagine they'd end up selling with a bit of a peak, I can't imagine everyone holding and really pulling off a full squeeze. Then again, this community is new to me.
