the guy who spend every waking hour assessing when it'll happen are the ones who lose in the end. same goes for the ones parking outside hedge fund headquarters at 3am and flying drones to see if the lights are on.
its funny to watch and all but you've gotta consider these guys' lives must be sad as sh*t

Just be smart with your investments. Has it run up a lot? If so....i basically do some trimming and let a pullback happen. Significantly less stressful.

For anyone actually being sucked into the crazy amount of conspiracy theories, just read the daily and realize it’s too much for even the mods of the forums.
Let’s not go full retard with things

Synopsis for 04-22-2021 what we need to know before the market opens DD
Good morning San Diago,
I am Rensole,
Do you smell that?
\*insert flashy intro card\*
​
https://preview.redd.it/64mg5duhsou6...=webp&a0fb7bac
# They are using trucks now!
So yesterday I saw this was getting a lot of traction:
[(https://www.reddit.com/r/GME/comments/mvmtpy/looks_like_****adel_is_hard_at_work/)]https://www.reddit.com/r/GME/comment...hard_at_work/)
OMG NOES.
Seriously guys relax, this is normal.
In Europe you have to dispose of materials which have confidential information (client's names, addresses and or other stuff), then you need to shred it and dispose of it with a correct method and show this to the oversight committee that you disposed of it properly, you can't just throw it in a dumpster and be done with it.
As an example, in the EU you need to keep your (accounting) books for 5 years minimum, then after that you need to dispose of it, so you call a professional company to dispose of it.
Even though we would all love this to be proof of illegal activity, it's not it's more "business as usual then anything else.

# Some things about the sub
I've seen a continuing trend emerge, people wanting to get the drones up and check what they're doing 24/7, cherry-picking data etc.
Drones;
As for the drones I'll be easy, you want to take pictures from street level because you notice something fine be my guest, but flying a drone and shoot video inside offices its where we have to draw a line. Because you may believe this is innocent but I think it's (at minimum) ethically questioning.
So from now on, you post a drone video you will receive a temp ban, continued breaking will result in perma ban.
​
Also something else that's REALLY bad imo is this:
[(https://www.reddit.com/r/GME/comments/mi8yi7/everything_short_author_uatobitt_explains_how_the/)]https://www.reddit.com/r/GME/comment...ains_how_the/)
**** like this wont be allowed here anymore either, like holy **** do you guys really not see how this comes across ? the weapons aimed at his head is a step to far, honestly it's 10 steps to far, imagine people from the outside seeing this and it's easy to write this entire sub off.
Because putting guns to peoples heads (even in drawings) can be seen as death threats, and that is NOT what this is about WE are all here because WE LIKE THE STOCK.
Meming is one thing but this goes to far imo, if we want to be taken seriously we should act as a serious sub.
​
Cherry picking;
something I have a huge personal problem with is looking at an entire datasheet and people take only parts of it to build their thesis. You either use it in full or you don't use it, it's like saying all cars have 700 HP because I only used supercars in my control group, it just does not work.
​
We have fought against other people thinking we are idiots, or a cult or whatever, the only way we can break those ideas and get taken seriously, is that we act as serious as normal investors. sure you can have memes you can have a laugh but realise that we want to be taken seriously we need to act accordingly.
So let's go and keep the tinfoil hatting at a minimum from now on, and start doing serious thought out DD. there is a reason WSB lived as long as it does so let's drop the tinfoil and research more. I hope you guys can agree with that.
​
Other subs;
A lot of (new) posters are trying to stir **** up, saying other people are shills at the drop of a hat, same goes for other subs so let me be extremely clear about this.
We like the other subs, I like WSB/GME/DDintoGME etc, you may not agree with how they run their subs and that's a personal thing, but do note that if we see hurtful comments made against other subs/mods of those subs we will take action, as we are one community and we should not allow **** flinging.
Again if you have an issue, lets deal with it as adults, no emotion but facts.

Glad to hear he's got the full 5 year appointment as imo wall street is a big machine with big parts who don't want to move or change, but giving him another 5 years means he can at least get some things moving and hopefully change it for the better.
And by the looks of it it seems he hit the ground running

Great write up on what the DTC 007 rule could mean. it would be effective on July 9th.
​
# DTCC-2021-005
Now this is a little bit of a hot topic, the rule was suddenly removed on the 12th this month, I remember someone contacting someone up high about this, the rule was removed due to a "filing" error, there was something wrong with how the document was set up, but it should get back on the website soon, that has now been close to two weeks.
Now I'm addressing it because I've seen a lot of people post about it (or it just caught my eye more), it could very well be that it was a clerical error and it needs to be readded so we just have to wait and see.

# EXCELLENT!
Be friendly, help others!
as always we are here from all different walks of life and all different countries.
This doesn't matter as we are all apes in here, and apes are friends.
Doesn't matter if you're a silverback a chimp or a bonobo.
We help each other, we care for each other.
**Ape don't fight ape, apes help other apes**
this helps us weed out the shills really fast, as if everyone is helpful, the ones who aren't stand out.
remember the fundamentals of this company are great, so for the love of god if someone starts with trying to spread FUD, remind yourself of the fundamentals.
There is no sense of urgency, this will come when it comes, be a week, be it a month be it six.
We don't care, just be nice and lets make this community as Excellent as we can!
Remember one of the only ways to counter the Cointelpro we have seen is by being overly nice, so treat all the other apes as if you're dating and you wanna get to first base.
​
​
https://preview.redd.it/ixd03zqazou6...=webp&e8c68e82
Remember none of this is financial advice, I'm so retarded I'm not allowed to go to the zoo 'cause they'll put me in the cage with the rest of my ape brothers.
If anything happens throughout the day I will be adding it here.

The vaccinations were already happening and were being handled from the get-go at the state and local level. Which is how it should be. The amount of vaccines and the distribution was always going to ramp up.

things don't happen just because you order/call for them... need to follow up, need resources, need planning and coordination... plus capable people in the right positions

Is there any possible way to see how much margin is being utilized at any given time? Also, similar question, but is there a way to see something like a % of the SP500 companies that are shorted as a % of the entire index?
I am reading some crazy stories about traders and hedge funds getting blown up using margin. I read an article about Credit Suisse having like 3% of Archegos overall positions still on their books and it was valued at like 20 billion dollars and they figure from those positions they'll take a 600 million haircut....and that's just 3% of their total positioning. WTF were they thinking using that much leverage that they managed to get wrecked that hard when the markets themselves didn't even move that significantly.

Pretty dumb design flaw that even $20K Hyundai has.
No detection that weight is at seat or any sensor to see where eyes are looking.
And yes anyone doing this must hate life and wants to get killed.
Video is funny just tape and system defeated.

..................
PLTR won some contract this morning so reason for bump.
I wouldn't get excited on 1DTE calls yet.
There is 95K shares sitting at $23.65 for sale. That kind of number would need whale to push it above $24 today.

In case anyone cares.
that sub superstonk came full circle to realize that stock market is rigged.
this is the last DD, they are even second guessing now if GME will be even allowed to squeeze again.
https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/..._cards_part_1/
tdlr everything is just bunch of IOU's
the first 4 parts have lot of great research just how complicated and phucked the financial system is and how things are hidden inside webs of webs that would rival matrix.

The problem was banks had no idea that they all had similar exposure with Archegos. Hwang had deals with multiple banks.
So once they realized the mistake it was the first bank that could get out fast knowing that leverage exposure was jacked to the ....
Hwang did take $200 million and turn it into $20 billion in 7 years.
Who would say no to those kinds of returns?

If you did the exact opposite of all his suggestions for the last decade, you'd be a fuarkin billionaire.
