If you think the companies who run the globe are losing off this, they're laughing even harder now than they were before.
The losses incurred on hedge funds or other short sellers is nothing compared to the gains they are going to rake in once all this retail money is exhausted. And it's going to be exhausted sooner than later.
What do you think they'll do then? They'll just short the fuck out of 200%-300%, unsustainable movements.
This is not Q related.
For months now the average Joe has been desperately trying to get into the stock market. Check out any broker, they've been backlogged like crazy.
Unemployment + desperate people + life savings / government checks + a manipulated stock market rising on printed money for over a year = short sellers dream.
This rise we see is just another win for them.
Lol so you're comparing VW 2008 to gme today? Tell me, what happens in a week when retail is exhausted?
