I dont get it. Im not broke but I still dont throw money around blindly.
Was talking to my dad about this. I think its because research takes too long and by then the stock has already blown up. Gotta buy before everyone else does, a race

It is absolutely the greater fool speculation trade right now. This volatility is insane with lots of money to be made trading the swings.

Wow, dude. Seriously? If you can't see the massive amount of corruption involved here, I don't even know what to say.
Bro, they are just trying to protect you bro. Don't you understand they are on your side?! We should also pass new regulations, even though they already exist, because we need to protect people bro. You really think a trusted news source would just lie to you? Cmon bro.

This isn't some magical guarantee to get rich simply because "the internet".
They aren't trying to make money at this point. They are buying a lottery ticket on the off chance it fuks over a hedge fund who was trying to bottom out the stock on Gamestop

As it is right now there, there is nothing to prevent more memers from publicly stating stocks that they like because they’re shorted. So this game can continue for a long time as long as the HFs continue shorting the market.

As for Wall Street vs. Redditors, "Wall Street" isn't some unified entity. I'm absolutely convinced that WS firms that didn't have short positions (which would be plenty of them) will be on reddit pumping, dumping, hyping, manipulating, etc. to make money and let the average uniformed "autist" on Reddit take the loss when all is said and done.

Contrary to what a lot of Redditors seem to think, this type of thing has been going on forever.
This is such strange thinking. People keep blaming WSB as if they're the bad guys here, when Melvin took out shorts for 140% of the outstanding shares.

Their entire goal was to drive the company into the ground to pocket the difference in the short.

That's some evil chit. People lost it at Mitt Romney and the corporate raiders of Bain Capital, and this isso much worse. But we get uninformed Wall Street shills saying the retail investors are idiots and are going to hold the bag here. C'mon man...

I don’t even understand how they can borrow more than the outstanding shares? I would think 100% would be the max...

they will figure out pretty quickly to stop publicly listing exposed short positions.

if they were really smart they would publicly list a fukked up short position and privately hold a much larger long position, and then openly talk shiit to redditors.

I'm not saying that at all, and have no particular opinion on the "nobility" of it.

Just saying that you don't want to be the one left holding stock when the price tanks. Which it will because GME's fundamentals are not there to support the price. Unfortunately, a lot of these Redditors who are new to the market are going to be caught up in that.

the redditors in question are childless and live in their moms basement.

the worst case would be if they made a lot of money, then they would have to move out and cook their own chicken nuggets.

literally everyone has know from the beginning that the stock is near worthless. that makes it way funnier.
