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.
