The corollary seems to be that citizen and retail investors have teamed up to take on big funds. This is a classic underdog uprising tale that just cannot be passed up.
This couldn't be further from the truth.
The combined buying power of Reddit investors would be no more than 30 - 40 million dollars. Piling on some citizen investors on Robinhood, I surmise that the total investment power couldn't surpass $200 million dollars if they tried their best.
Think about it - Most people on Robin Hood only invest 10s, or hundreds of dollars, let alone thousands. Even aggressive day traders only play with $25,000 at a time. It would take a massive army of hundreds of thousands to get the kind of buying power that could take on the big funds.
Here are some questions to ask;
-
Why are specific hedge funds being targeted?
-
Why are government officials suddenly interested in regulating the stock market when exploitative behavior has been happening like this for decades?
-
Why is this happening while Biden is in office?
This is a well-orchestrated, engineered, and versed effort to collapse and siphon certain questionable funds, with supreme precision. The targeted funds are schemes that launder money (AMC is owned by CCP Wanda, for example) which would normally be too difficult to take down and might take years.
I have a heavy suspicion that White Hats are doing this. This isn't a coincidence.
Don't ruin the reveal. This is getting good in this movie. Trump has the magic wand . The fed is on full steam with this. Only way. Sec of Treasury just took an $800K bribe to squash this stonks meme. She is going down hard. I am buying more popcorn tomorrow.
Hoy shit. What are the fucking odds of that being a coincidence??
Seems like Musk is in on it too.
Yeah, White Hats are using the deep state playbook against them. They are most definitely organising this, and they are making it sound like David vs Goliath to keep the media and everyone else distracted. Whatever is going to happen, it will go right on ahead regardless of what happens in robinhood or reddit or wsb or anything else.
This is interesting. We're seeing how crooked Wall Street is. I have a feeling we're about to see how deep/corrupt the Wall St/DC connections are.
Sure redditors don't have much money, but this is more than reddit, the world will wake up to this and want some action.
The citizens of India, Australia, Europe, Canada, and even China are in on this. It went viral and there are a lot of people throwing some money at this weather it is a couple hundred to a couple million. Things could get interesting seeing as GME is still over extended at like 117% of shares in trade.....
Big dogs are in now.. including Indian investors who are forced to play with cash only because of the foreign investments.. they bought in 15% .. they hate the hedge fund guys too. It's global!
I think you might be underestimating the buying power behind this movement a little, it's world wide now and involves millions of people. That said, I don't disagree that there are likely some whitehats synergizing with the movement behind the scenes. It's yet again an opportunity for the average person to get involved in the incredible events that are unfolding.
Supposedly an anonymous investor from Florida bought in several millions overnight Tuesday into Wednesday. Haven't found a decent sauce to confirm, but I am entertained by the thought it could be Trump or one of his kids!
This is what I secretly suspect too.
People don’t understand that these hedgefunds can literally leverage thier assets by a 100x.
What this means?
1 billion will allow you to borrow and use 100 billion to trade with.
10 billion allows you to borrow 1 trillion.
While the best that retail investors can do is twice thier money.
Trillions of dollars are moved in stock markets every DAY.
In comparison, political donations total was around 30-40 billion for the most important presidential and congressional campaign that literally decided people’s lives.
Even if we gather all the money that WSB and allies, a forum with originally 2 million people(now 6 million) has, after leverage, would it even reach 100 billion?
A disorganized 100 billion vs a coordinated Trillion dollars.
Plus the trillion dollar groups have access to a massive amount of data about the 100 billion group, giving them an unfair advantage.
And somehow the coordinated trillion dollars group is losing to the disorganized 100 billion dollars group?
Retail investors simply don’t have the money and leverage to compete with institutional investors which is why they always get pummeled
It was especially suspicious when all the retail broker firms suspended buying GME and it fell but didn’t immediately crash to sub 100s, then went back up.
It means that whoever is really proping up GME are not retail investors but institutional investors because retail investors had thier infrastructure frozen, and thus couldn’t buy GME to keep proping it up.
Logically if it was retail investors proping it up, it would have immediate crashed into the sub 100s level, because all hedgefunds had to do was have hedge fund A sell some GME to hedge fund B and then hedge fund B sell those extract same GME shares back to hedge fund A at a lower price and repeat over and over again until it goes crashes, since no one can actually buy the stocks.
But it didn’t because there was someone who actually could and did buy them, so much that it went back up.
I suspect that some group is proping up GME and using WSB as a front as an explaination for why GME is going up. As a former frequent autist at WSB, WSB has a lot of garbage along with rough diamonds.
You have to realize that ANY stock can go up, and suddenly there will be posts on it on WSB. It would be difficult to determine if WSB caused the stock to go up or the stock going up caused WSB to mention it.
I'm wondering if our days of darkness follow a stock market crash? The big one...
I wonder if these 30 days are actually leading up to the 10 days of darkness.
I don't see enough people waking up to believe that this will be done in 2 days. It seems like there is more coming, and much worse to the point where nobody can ignore it.
And then the question will be whether it's white hats or black hats. It will be a dark time imo.
Yeah, there's been a huge short squeeze going on across the whole market. Otherwise these fags would just cover their GME losses with their other shorts. Only problem is all those shorts got squeezed over the last 60 days.
Hedge funds are behaving like they have a gun to their head forcing them to give their ill gotten gains back.
The reddit thing is just to drive the news cycle and red pill a bunch more normies.
This theory appears to be the reality. I think it makes it even MORE delicious.
someone started to understand the word cover

Good points to digest in this thread.
I would make some other observations.
http://www.baystreet.ca/articles/techinsider.aspx?articleid=63869&mod=mw_quote_news
Take note of the following: GameStop shares shot up 119% to trade at $424 in pre-market trading, after closing down 44% to $193.60 during regular trading hours on Thursday. The stock’s high for the week is $483 a share. Robinhood said its decision to restrict trading on Thursday — which angered many investors — was in order to comply with capital requirements mandated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for broker dealers.
Next to Robinhood, interactive brokers did the same thing.
Arguing that people on these platforms cannot have any meaningful impact in relation to the organized trillions of the fleece party, is being discounted with this insight into the price movement.
Rather, although highly organized, the trillions you are speaking of are usually spread around. This whole GME thing, is a focused effort.
Of course, the higher the stock goes, the less a newcomer with a 1000 bucks to play with will have an impact on the actual stock movement, if invested into buying that stock (adding to the demand)
However, by the same token, a play could be envisaged where call options, and even aggressive call options, may play a role.
Feast your eyes here: https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NYSE/GME/options/
For those not versed: Read here about what open interest means, so you can better understand the table you are looking at, and what specifically is worthy of your attention.
Then the costs of the options. For those not versed: https://finance.zacks.com/much-puts-cost-stock-market-5900.html
https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/stocks/gme/option-chain
So, what would happen if both de demand for the stock and the upward skewed momentum of the options trade supports the sustained rise in price of the stock?
Next to the usual suspects, there are many platform that both offer specific stock and options to trade. Many of these stem from UK, Gibraltar, Malta and Cyprus. And people from all over the world, except USA, are using these kinds of platforms.
It just so happens to be that these jurisdictions also are tax havens. For many onshore continental European small business, Cyprus is very important. And there is a lot of money to be played with.
And many were screwed out of their money, called a bail-in, to save some Cyprus banks in the onslaught of the 2009 financial crisis. Payback 's a bitch. Memories of this are easily conjured up with the strict lockdowns etc.
And if protesting on the street does not earn you a buck, but protesting this way does ....
1 + 1 = 2
All it took was a little fuel
IDK there are millions on the reddit WSB. And some of those day traders are trading at much bigger numbers.
I have seen enough posts on WSB of people ("retail investors") dumping millions into GameStop. Anything is possible at this point....
We are the white hats.
I'm very glad that reddit imploded and the based few came to .win
...I missed the gme adventure, been watching from the balcony, what a great fucking show! I'll in bigly for the next one... The wife wants land in Texas, and I want an island.
Reddit has a part in it, but wallstreetbets is most known for stupid things and losing a lot of money. This couldn't happen without major players behind it
LoL. Absurd claim.
how do you figure?
