I'm sick of this victim mentality. Why are hedge fund billionaires crying on live TV instead of pulling themselves up by their bootstraps? Do they even know how to budget? I bet they all have brand new iphones.

Have they even thought about working another job, learning to code, or driving for lyft in their spare time? Rich people get there by living like peasants. Maybe they should sack up and stop asking for handouts from the middle class? Ever think of that? I used to be poor, but now I have a 3 series bmw and am clearly rich as fukk.

Aint nothing cringe about making gains on your investments. If many of these people lose their ass, let them.

You sound like a hater too, by the way, lol.
They are doing 2 things here: 1) taking profits and 2) taking down bitch-ass hedge funds that should never have existed in the first place. Pretty damn alpha if you ask me.

You realize there are hedge funds making billions of this too right?

You don't think quant hedge funds have been killing it the past few days?

There are likely many hedge funds that went long and are responsible for the majority of the volume.

It's a hilarious circus with billionaires crying on national tv, liberals turning against their corporate masters, politicians, big tech and wall street stooges scrambling to try to stop the bleeding
actually looks like retail traders can do it as well (as evidenced the past few days).

if you don't like your brokerage account, step up to the big leagues and either become your own broker dealer or get a prime brokerage account.


this is what happens when you are a non accredited investor and rely on retail brokerages to manage order flow for you. there's always been huge disadvantages to that. nothing is stopping any cunning retail investor from doing what i described and bypassing the Robinhood *******s

Melvin capital had some of the highest annual returns the past few years for a fund its size. It just made a stupid play and is getting crushed (as it should).

Based on previously disclosed positions, Investor's Business Daily figures major funds have already made north of $13billion on this GameStop action

explain how retail investors are getting shafted

is it because the market has been down? (no, the market is in a historic extended bull market).

algo funds taking cents off their trades from latency arbritage? (yes, you have lost cents on your trades....big deal. If you have a huge problem with it, NOTHING is stopping you from a purchasing your own colocation space and telco line in the NYSE datacenter in Mahwah and running trades with similar latency levels of the quant boyos ; will just cost you hundred of thousands a month fees).

Yep, an investor guy whose name escapes me (He bragged about not investing in Robinhood after meeting the owners) apparently made a ton of money getting out early before they blocked retail investors from buying.

There’s always winners and losers but it is a fact that nobody on Wallstreet is having champagne and laughing at the plebs this week, so it’s much more effective than OWS.

that's naive as phuck

plenty of wall street firms are making a killing this week.

strong anti wallstreet movement that allowed citadel dat dere sweet order flow to scalp price arbitrage on the exchanges with their superior execution speed, all the sell side firms made a killing on large block trades from panicked funds short GME, any firm long GME or trading it volatility made a killing, etc etc

yeah, really took down wall street

not to mention GME is a super small fraction of the overall equities market

The wsb guys who started it have their own little culture and that's cool. The kids who just heard about and are rushing in to hold the bag and/or think pumping dogecoin or nokia is the french revolution are a bit unsettling.

Wall St never loses as a whole, but hopefully a few hedge fund individuals learn a lesson the hard way and not just the kids.
They got little baby legs that stand so low
you got to pick 'em up just to say hello.

Retail investors are screwed via taxes (hedge fund managers probably pay less taxes than anyone with all of the loopholes they can exploit) and not being in the cool kids club.

These hedge fund guys are sometimes literally married to politicians and will coincidentally buy or sell in the advance of political actions.

And that’s to say nothing of the dinners hedge fund managers have to discuss “ideas.” And everyone knows what those ideas are.

But that doesn’t concern Senators like Elizabeth Warren, Redditors causing market volatility needs to be investigated.

It’s math: OWS cost Wallstreet people nothing. The Redditors have cost some hedge funds over 70 billion and counting.

It doesn’t matter if not every firm lost money, some of them did. Logically, short squeezes are a more effective attack on Wallstreet than protesting and camping in Central Park.

FUk that, I think it's terrific. Why are people so miserable at others' success.

it's the best/interesting news story, I've heard in years. Brah invested $50k and it's worth $44M.

A guy on here recommended it 10 days ago. WE should have all jumped on the train. I didn't, I'm not kicking myself for it because I've had other stuff that was having success in.

Melvin got greedy phuck them

maybe 20% of hedge funds are for ultra high net worth individuals with 5M+ min. investments

Lol at all *******s negging me for this thread

https://www.cnbc.com/2021/02/05/game...ata-shows.html

Facts are coming out now

Institutional investors responsible for the price changes, not loser reddit traders.

Plus word is getting out about several hedge funds making over 500million on this. Strong movement against Wall Street guys.

Price of gme has also collapsed

Thinking they are "democratizing" the market by hyping a chit video game ticker and taking down a stupid AF hedge fund.

Wow, really changed the world financial markets there. This is as cringeworthy as occupy wallstreet.
Well the original play was gangster as ****. What happened, per usual with Reddit, is WSB became flooded with lemming loser redditors that have no personality and just quote “hold the line” and “diamond hands” despite a week ago never owning a stock in their life


Seriously WSB sub grew 8x. Went from finance bros trying to get rich to this weird movement of losers fighting hedge funds
