How do you explain sinister Hedge Funds such as Melvin Capital going bankrupt due to their short positions in GME, if this is a classic pump & dump? How do you explain cabal behemoth's such as Citadel saying that "Melvin Capital and Gabe Plotkin are some of the greatest traders of our time", yet 6 months later Melvin goes bankrupt due to their GME short positions, just as those on SuperStonk predicted?
News flash, GME already pumped and dumped early last year. And somehow a "dying brick & mortar" is still trading at $120+ per share. I wonder if that has anything to do with a loyal base investing in GME, Ryan Cohen turning the company around in positive ways (i.e. kicking Cabal members off the board), and the shorts never closed?
Why has the Cabal Mainstream Media been telling normies for the last 18 months that GME is a failure, to sell your shares, and that the company will die? We know the Cabal Media lies about everything. Are they all of a sudden telling the truth on GME?
It will never happen again. These fuckers know exactly what they are doing.
I don’t know what the media is saying. I don’t watch it. I just look at the math, and the market mechanics of how that math plays out, and the math says you are all gonna be very disappointed.
To be honest it’s also been really fucking offensive. I was Series 7/63/9/10 licensed for years and the balls in which these fuckers lied to you is bananas…it’s also very insidious how they changed the language to make it more of a game vs reality, stonks, hodl, all that bullshit was just gloss to make it a team thing. Really gross.
Initially I pitied you all but then you became so annoying I am actively rooting for you to lose, and quickly, so you all learn your lesson.
How do you explain sinister Hedge Funds such as Melvin Capital going bankrupt due to their short positions in GME
They didn't go bankrupt. They did have a big loss on their short of GME, but they covered that in JAN 2021 -- just a couple of days before the all-time high.
The problem for them was the "high water mark" for most hedge funds. If a fund is down, they have to come back to their previous highest valuation before the manager can take profits for himself.
The fund was down over 40% after closing out the GME short. They started making a comeback, but it was slow going. 2021 was still a bull market.
If they continued doing what they were doing, they would have hit the bear market in 2022, and since shorting was their specialty, they probably would have made a comeback. But they decided to close the fund instead. They did not go bankrupt, but they did close the fund.
The fund manager, Plotkin, did fine, though. He personally made over $1 billion during the past few years.

Because those guys are best buds and used to work together.
They worked for Steve Cohen, of Point 72. He was slapped with insider trading, so he can never manage other people's money again. But he has plenty of his own, which he used to fund his fund. Plotkin (Melvin Capital) and the Citadel guy both worked for Cohen. They went out on their own, and Cohen had some of his money invested with Plotkin, which is why they bailed him out of this fuck up in 2021.
yet 6 months later Melvin goes bankrupt due to their GME short positions
That did not happen. You have bad info.
Melvin covered/closed their GME short in JAN 2021. The closed the fund in early 2022, but did not declare bankruptcy. They returned capital to investors.
They made huge profits prior to 2021, so I don't know if they were net up or down, as far as their investors were concerned.

That is the only decent point the pro-GME'ers have made.
I find it laughable how you oddly are defending a slimey cabal hedgefund. None the less…
1.) Hedgefunds do not close their funds because of “bear markets”. That’s nonsense.
2.) 40% losses on an entire fund, operating with billions in other peoples money, isn’t just some laughable thing that happens everyday. That is absolutely horrible. If your hedgefund is losing 40% of your investment, then your hedgefund is clearly taking major risks and fucking something up.
3.) Bankrupt, closing fund, whatever you want to call it. Why are you nit-picking word choice and semantics here to downplay the fact that Melvin was one of the firms naked short selling GME and lost billions of dollars due to their abusive naked short selling?
7.) Gabe Plotkin publicly discussed how their bread and butter was short selling. How in the hell do you blow away 40% of your massive fund in a bear market when your bread and butter is short selling? Unless you just so happened to be taking part in illegal naked short selling & cellar boxing, that went sideways and turned into an idiosyncratic risk?
8.) Why are you shilling for a scummy, Cabal hedgefund, that has helped drive American companies into the ground (cellar boxing), destroying countless jobs, for their own profit?

Don't forget Boston Consulting Group.
They (the internet idiots) got em once.
