LOL, no. RH is bit player startup taking advantage of customers who got taken in by faux-populist marketing who think "corporate" is a dirty word. They've been fined and sued repeatedly because they can't shoot straight but continue to mislead their customers and pretend nothing is wrong.

https://www.sec.gov/news/press-release/2020-321

There were reportedly specific liquidity warnings as recently as last month.

It's entirely possible Citadel put pressure on them - a risk the serious brokers don't have - but the evidence points to them simply running out of money, and I believe it. People on WSB are saying not to transfer your shares out of RH because they'll be locked up for a while during the transfer, but they're not considering what will happen when RH implodes and they have to wait for the federal government to intervene to make them whole. They're only entitled to equal number of shares - NOT an equal value of shares - so if their money is stuck in that firetrap of a brokerage and they miss the squeeze and it goes back to $20, they'll SOL. Vlad will probably settle with the Feds for whatever is in his U.S.-based accounts and go into hiding in Costa Rica or some chit.

Schwab, Vanguard, and Fidelity are perfectly good for "the little guy". Srs. They had to clamp down on margin risk in some cases, but people could buy for cash on all three all the way through, AFAIK. Nobody should be putting their money in these weird ass little brokerages in volatile times. They're the first against the wall, every time.
Nah, fukk that. I’m not doing that.

Schwab owns TD Ameritrade, something to keep in mind. I went with Vanguard years ago cuz they are customer owned. Will stick with them till retirement, likely.

It's true that Robinhood have taken a disproportionate amount of backlash throughout this chit show. Although, they've partly brought that on themselves solely due to how terribly they've handled it. In hindsight, it was only a matter of time before their brand was destroyed. At some point we were bound to have a situation, like this one, that made it obvious that hedge funds were Robinhood's true customer, not the users.

Next week is gonna be interesting to say the least. Hopefully I can make some gains whilst enjoying the show. I think WSB have gained over 1m users in the last 24 hours, and something like 4-5m users in the past few days which could have an insane impact. What I'm wondering is: if the price of GME moons even higher, will more hedge funds look to make money by shorting the stock further? Will they rely on WSB to sell at an insane price point and then profit? And if that happens, will WSB truly 'stay retarded longer than hedge funds can stay solvent'? Maybe Melvin won't be the only victim.

The pro-short propaganda is out in full force for the week. This was a promoted story on FB, meaning someone is paying to make sure people like me see it:

https://www.marketwatch.com/story/ga...on-11611855951

"GameStop shareholder sells off stake valued at over $1 billion"

Trying to scare people into believing the longs are exiting, but can't find any mention of the fact this happened a full month ago, before any of this recent madness:

https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/d...183dsc13ga.htm

The level of fear somewhere must be at Code Brown for the chit in their pants to resort to stunts like this.
Nah, fukk that. I’m not doing that.

To break this down for everyone who is worried or wants to know what to expect in the coming week:

AMC current status (30JAN2021) :
AMC has 44.6 million shorted shares and a grand total of 52 million shares. That means 86% of shares are shorted (by hedge funds) and 14% are being longed (all of us)

Now what everyone is waiting for is when shorted shares expire and they (hedge funds) have to cover what they bet on. Keep in mind not EVERY share will expire on Monday. So we MUST hold beyond that.

Today’s target (1/29) was to beat $8.63 (what hedge funds were betting it would be come Monday) and we did that closing at $13.29! AWESOME. This short will expire in 0.5 trading days (Monday)

So Monday when they’re forced to cover ($8.63) they will have to buy it at its current price to cover their bet. Raising the price up even higher.

But this isn’t even the best part. All of their other shorts are SIGNIFICANTLY lower. There are 9 different short stocks between $1.98-$5.96. Some of those shorts are 1.9 days away (Tue) 2.5 days (wed) 3.2 days (Thur) so the longer you hold, the higher the price gets and the more they have to cover.

Over the next few trading days it is going to be a vIolent squeeze. We are at the starting line of what GME did. Hold your ground. Gains Monday are inevitable. But the gains on Tuesday-Thursday will be much higher.

Short squeezes are historic: and to give you an example Volkswagen had a 46% short at $6 share price which squeezed to $110 a share back in 2008. AMC is at 84% short at $13 The percentage is significantly higher and there’s a lot more room to grow. On the high end we’re talking the possibility of hitting $150-200 a share if everyone is smart and holding until Thursday


1. HOLD
2. Buy more on Monday if you can afford it because it’s going to violently rise
3. Enjoy the ride until AT LEAST Thursday evening when all the shorts expire and the price is at it’s highest.
can i at least sell/buy on dip once in this upcoming cycle ?last week there were so many dips on gme and amc and i was holding everything and only made 1k.

Just wanted to warn brahs thinking of getting in right now to do their due diligence. WSB keeps referencing ortex/s3 for short interest data but those are only estimations. Highly probable that the remaining uncovered shorts are new ones that came in later at the higher prices. The official data of friday shorts comes out on Feb. 9 from FINRA.

https://www.finra.org/filing-reporti...short-interest

Also if you do plan on gambling, switch to a real broker that wont fuk you in the azz. Fidelity, Vanguard, Schwab are all good.

No matter where this goes, the mental gymnastics being performed to rationalize what people want to believe is highly entertaining.

BRB, CNBC's logo had a greater degree of Pantone red today, likely because shorts are sweating blood, therefore to the moon is happening!

how is it not market manipulation when robinhood will let you buy only 10 shares of AMC but 700 shares of BB, is that not obvious manipulation? obviously they know purchases in these certain amounts will effect the market differently....manipulating the market

This order will exceed the maximum allowed GME shares you can hold at this time. You currently have xxx shares purchased or pending - including this order -which exceeds the limit of 1 share.

The giveaway is the low volume. Been painfully low since $280.

There's basically nobody waiting to buy in that range, so the price can be moved by relatively small deals if anybody finds each other to set a new price. Now it's on sale again and there are dumptrucks full of money waiting around $200, getting too close has made it pop twice.
Nah, fukk that. I’m not doing that.
