Let me begin by stating that this is not financial advice. I would not take financial advice from myself, I suggest you do the same.
I simply want to explain, from my POV, a few elements of the GameStop Saga as a fellow Day 1 Anon. You can disagree with me, some of this could be wrong, I'm not going to argue anyone... here we go:
-
GameStop (GME) is a major potential economic tsunami. Benefiting those who understand that there may be some serious illegal manipulation that was stopped and is being held back simply by us holding the criminals to their bluff.
-
Much fuckery occurred in the markets, fake shares created/traded (synthetics), cyclical trading loops to fake/hide/dilute REAL share value, limited oversight to expose or correct any of this behavior leading up to GME (and potentially AMC).
-
All one needs to do to call their bluff? Buy, HODL, DRS & Shop. That is literally it, and the 4th step is optional, 1-3 are not (again, my opinion)
-
WTF is a DRS? Good question (Source: https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/ptvaka/when_you_wish_upon_a_star_a_complete_guide_to/)
-
To DRS is to Direct Register your Shares. Why does it matter if you've got shares in Fidelity or DRS'ed (through ComputerShare - https://www.computershare.com/) ... because when these shares are Direct Registered, it is to YOU. In your legal name. Not through a brokerage who could* theoretically LEND your shares out to hedge funds, to allow them to price manipulate and suppress the value of GME.
-
The act of DRS for GME shares is essentially a tactic coined "Lock the Float"
-
If we freeze the entire available inventory of GME shares via DRS'ing in ComputerShare... there is technically no "volume" that should be able to occur. No shares to borrow. Outside of large institutions/funds and insiders @ GME, the retail traders would HODL all of the rest.
-
Why does is matter if the volume drops and all shares are accounted for? Because that puts the financial criminals in the ultimate checkmate. It's the equivalent of having a recording of the TARMAC meeting while receiving full access to all Deep State security footage. They would have no way out.
Millions and millions of synthetic shares are eventually going to be explained. One way or another. Those synthetics need to be bought back, before* they can close out their short positions from years ago... the recent split just potentially made it more difficult to continue this juggling act for much longer.
Pro-Tip if you made it this far! To DRS - you can begin with your brokerage account // Fidelity, E-Trade, etc... and initiate the DRS through them, specifically requesting to transfer your GME shares over to ComputerShare. They must comply. And usually they are pretty nice about it! So, your broker initiates it, and you get confirmation via the mail. At that point you can access ComputerShare using your personal information as the initial login/access point
It feels weird being a Diamond Handed Retarded Ape Pizzagate Researcher Anon!
All of the above is my opinion. Including the links. Not financial advice. I have no idea what I am doing; just trying to guess the most accurately.
Thanks for the link to the charts, Sorry, gotta make a quick crayon and banana run!
