Trading Halted for GameStop / AMC, elites in PANIC

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

I don’t know. I love trolling hedge funds but this is clearly market manipulation, not economics at play.

The actions of the hedge funds and the Federal Reserve aren't economic in play either.

They don't want to be seen as one of the "bad" pirates..

I totally want to be a bad pirate.

There is a difference between being a bad pirate and a gay pirate.

What is the difference?

Aren’t they? Hedge fund managers shorting a stock because the business is collapsing sounds like it’s exactly what one would expect.

If you don't already understand the difference, any explanation I give will be inadequate for you.

Short-sellers are sitting on estimated losses of $71 billion from their positions in U.S. companies so far this year, data from financial data analytics firm Ortex showed.

American Airlines joins GameStop trading frenzy as calls for probe build

This is great. The only thing better would be if these guys could bankrupt a few of these sellers.

It's like a plot line from Mr. Robot.

LOL elites who love to bet against the market are freaking out. Let’s see how fast Congress acts to protect the hedge fund criminals that short sell stocks, and persecute regular people just buying a stock to help the company.

GameStop analyst calls stock surge a pyramid scheme and says nobody cares about his $16 price target

Wedbush's Michael Pachter, who's covered GameStop since 2002, said institutional investors aren't calling for his opinion on the "feeding frenzy."

They're not buying the stock to "help the company." They're buying the stock to make money.

Now, now, we can't really allow the Free Market to be free.

A free market allows short selling.

Shorting an Entity is not market manipulation?!

No, it's not. It's part of price discovery.

I have no sympathy for the hedge funds that were getting squeezed, but short selling is part of a fully functioning market.

 

[Toro]

People don't understand what's happening.

The people who originally bought the stock before the short squeeze made serious bank, so full credit to them.

But what's happening is an irrational frenzy, and the people who were buying the stock over the last few days were going to get wiped out.

This exposes companies like robinhood, because if you've purchased the stock on margin and can't pay, the platform takes the loss after you've been wiped out.

The stock was going to crash. It's inevitable. The platforms are both protecting themselves from potential lawsuits as well as whatever exposure they have from owning the stock involuntarily, and future investors who would have lost a ton of money.

Oh don’t worry, Xiden will bail them out.

And FFS could you please stop whining all the time about "the elites." Everything is not always a plot against you.

A free market allows short selling.

And the buying of stocks that others have shorted. Or supposedly. It seems the "free marketers" aren't very happy about this.

The geniuses at CNN are blaming “Trumpism” LOL.

How long before they claim buying a stock in a brick and mortar company is “dangerous” and needs to be “regulated”?

Analysis: How Trumpism explains the GameStop stock surge

This really shows the true color of these assholes. They are trying to destroy small businesses and will do anything to enrich their Big Tech donors in F.A.G.A.T.

They are kind of right.

This is the little people standing up to the Oligarchs.

They thought defrauding the election and deplatforming Parler would silence the uppity proles.

This hits our rulers where it hurts.

 

[Uncensored2008]

This is cute. A RW nut is pretending to hate monied interests on wall street.

This is cute, the democrat Reich is fully exposed as bitches of the hedge funds.

 

[Uncensored2008]

Shorting an Entity is not market manipulation?!

Agreed. The hedge funds are the ones shorting GameStop. People from Reddit are the ones banding together to manipulate the stock by artificially raising the price.

Yep, and which is real bad, because it keeps the hedge fund from manipulating the stock to artificially lower the price so they can short it. Plus dirty, unwashed people are making money and our elite are taking it in the shorts.

President * will put a stop to all the little people engaging in a free market and hurting the Oligarchs - don't worry.

Big Hedge funds lost $14 billion yesterday!!

Suck a large erect phallus, elitist scum!

LOL, look who is covering for Robinhood. So much for “free market trading”. We’re all just “too dumb” to know what’s going on, they know what’s best for us.

The retailer's share price reached as high as $380 on Wednesday, up from $18 a few weeks ago after those on the subreddit r/WallStreetBets invested in the company.

I don’t know how anyone could be doubting this post. However as u said in the other thread about this hedge funds and institutional investors take advantage of retail investors everyday, and now it’s the retail investors that are using the rules to their advantage only to have the rules changed in the middle of the game by the institutions.
