$5 a gallon sucks, but you buy once and cry once and then never think about water again. Just find a corner and you're set.
There aren't actually a lot of eyes, not now, not in six months, definitely not in 6 years. Do you know their names? Of course not. Do any reporters? Lol what's a reporter? And what article written in four years by this hypothetical investigative reporter still a receiving a paycheck would get any traction in the hypothetical media in 4 years??
Because we're not talking about $200k showing up in their checking account on some random thursday next month, or being invited to a poker game that goes really well for them like in the old days, or their wife being tapped for some consulting work.
We're talking about their 14y/o kid getting accepted to harvard with a financial assistance waiver once they graduate high school. And after that a great internship lined up and all that follows.
They've been evolving.
No, this is the reward.
Outwardly they will be fired, and blamed for "collaborating" and "failing their duty to protect". The narrative will be used to purge, selectively promote, change doctrine, squash dissent and pushback locally and nationally.
And the patsies won't object and flip because once fired, they will slip from public notice to a comfortable life. Money, power, prestige and opportunity will all find their way to their doorstep, and those of their children.
This is how the swamp do.

This guy is right though.
Q can be real, Q can have a plan, Q can also be wrong or pass along bad info.
You misunderstand. The Qanon threat is just the excuse.
The military refuses to leave. People are going to ask questions so they need an excuse, and what better excuse than that the military is there on their request?
Honestly, if they were in control, you'd open things up to flaunt your strength. As you said, there haven't been threats. And there wouldn't be threats even if the military wasn't there.
You're grounded

Don't confuse education and diligence with being honest to the self about truth.
It looks like a retired training version. You know, the version they have new agents rip and tear with so they don't fuck up the real one.
Wait... this isn't a shitpost?
QAnon is a disproven and discredited far-right conspiracy theory alleging that a secret cabal of Satan-worshipping, cannibalistic pedophiles is running a global child sex-trafficking ring and plotted against former U.S. president Donald Trump while he was in office
Holy shit, it's real
According to U.S. prosecutors, QAnon is commonly called a cult
Wait, "According to US prosecutors" -- why does it matter what prosecutors think, nothing is being prosecuted
Wait, "commonly called" is totally irrelevant. According to (some) US prosecutors Epstein didn't kill himself and Hillary has the politically inconvenient assassinated.
WAIT WAIT WAIT*
It seems that the deathly ill are more likely to contract a respiratory virus and lack the ability to fight it off before expiring. If only we had a profession to anticipate so seemingly obvious an observation.
In theory yes, but in reality no. That isn't going to happen.
What I mean is they aren't trying to cover their positions cheaply. If they don't it is true they'll be forced to cover at any cost. But they don't mind that option, they don't lose their house, just their job when the hedgefund collapses.
So their strategy is to wait out retial investors, make them think they lost, that they can't win, so they'll sell, and go away, and all the shares are in circulation again. They want to reset, and erase the last 3 months. They will never VOLUNTARILY cover, because their plan is to make you quit.
And when they fail, and they are fvcked, the price will shoot through the roof as they buy up all of our shares.
I don't disagree in principle, but I do disagree because of what these price differences actually represent. They can ladder down to a nickel, and I believe the squeeze will look largely the same from there as if it would if it had popped off during the parabolic highs last Thursday. It's all about volume - if you exhaust 50% of you shorted position climbing from a nickel back up to $400, your point stands. But if you only clear 0.5% of you obligation in that move, the squeeze will look the same.
That's why I'm adamant about the price not mattering. There's no volume at these low prices. They can try to normalize them, but no one agrees. It's a $30 stock by company metrics, and a $30k stock by the short position.
Don't invest more than you're comfortable. If you take out a payday loan and pawn your daughter's insulin to buy the dip, while it might be the right risk/reward strategy, you're going to have jelly for hands when what we need most are diamonds. Only find, and buy, with money you're comfortable losing. Because if you're comfortable losing it, you'll be comfortable a week from now if things dip to $60 when everyone you know is laughing at you.
The value of diamond hands isn't just that you don't sell, but that you're capable of making a rational decision rather than being swayed by emotions like worry, fear, guilt, self loathing and embarrassment. In a week if they are still above 100% float and still bleeding interest like a siv nothing will have changed, the squeeze is still coming and it's still a solid stock to hold at $500 let alone if it can be found for a $50 ask. But if you're jelly because you're in too deep not only might you sell off at a loss a lose the opportunity later, but you'll be a mental wreck.
Let the hedgies lose sleep, all we have to do is hold. So only buy up to the amount that lets you sleep comfortably and won't intrude your thoughts while you're spending sunday playing catch with your boy or making love to your gf.
If the price drops (but the fundamentals are the same) and you do more than shrug your shoulders that's a sign you may be over exposed relative to you current comfort level.
And if this doesn't apply to you, well, it might apply to a lurker who reads it, so don't worry.
OP here, and you're 100% right.
I'm hearing more and more arguments about how they are using volatility to exit by closing out their old shorts for new shorts. It's ludicrous, as you clearly make. I might have to go in deeper on this if this argument persists.
It keeps falling under the same category of not really understanding what shorts at 100%+ float really is. You can't nibble your way out, and definitely not when the lowest price you can nibble is 5x what you sold your borrowed share for.
If you're comfortable eating beans, like actually doing that, then the risk vs reward at these price points is really hard to pass up. But be sure you're actually comfortable doing it.
But you don't have to go all in, no one does. The phrase, "buy what you're comfortable losing" isn't wise because you might lose it all, it's wise because you need to be comfortable walking away and not worrying about it.
I'm down and am not phased at all. I sleep fine, and my days aren't distracted. It's not just because of how confident I am in the purchase, but because my purchases won't ruin me.
Two weeks ago people need to buy. A week ago people needed to buy. Now all people need to do is hold. That's it. If you have the diamond hands to scoop up some paper handed sells then great.
But don't budget two weeks of eating beans unless you have two weeks of tortillas, sour cream and guac in your budget as well ya dig?
Buy only what you're comfortable walking away from and forgetting about.
If you buy so many that you start to worry, it's not good for your health.
Everyone's hands turn to jelly if they are in deep enough.
No one can diamond hand when they are in so deep that they put their child's insulin up as collateral to a pawn broker.
Buy to the point of comfort, don't buy to the point you start to quiver. Your mental health matters too.
*This IS financial advice
That being said, my goodness are these good prices.

So let's pretend you're Hunter Biden and you've got a crack pipe hanging out of your mouth...
You did it right.
As for timeframe, I really don't know. This isn't my profession, I'm just a week into daily rabbit holes learning all this. System analysis and problem solving just happens to be my bread and butter.
Timeframe depends on trigger, and trigger depends on conditions. The trigger we are waiting for are the short sellers being forced to cover their positions. But what conditions make that necessary? Basically we are waiting for them being forced to cover from who they borrowed from. The conditions that we (I) expect are necessary for this is when they can no longer pay the interest (run out of money/people willing to loan them money).
Sustained high prices reduce the timeframe for this, sustained low prices increase the timeframe. But it will happen one way or another. There are also regulatory requirements being floated around that would give definitive dates, but I'm hesitant to repeat them simply because I don't understand them with absolute certainty.
But none of this helps you, so let me put it in actionable terms. Since it could be days, weeks, or even months (but not years, this isn't an infinite thing) my recommendation for your sanity is to become comfortable walking away from the scene anytime the not knowing starts to consume your thoughts. Just let your shares sit there and forget about them, you only need to hold after all. There's no danger of missing things either, when shit happens it's all anyone anywhere will be talking about.
But this isn't a play you should rely on to cover your rent end of month, or a play to make money to pay off the mob hit on you by friday. There is no definitive timeframe - everything the Hedgefunds are doing is to stretch things out so they can stay solvent longer than you can stay irrational. Their best successes simply buy them more time, never infinite.
People need to wake up to the fact that there is a small circle of families that comprise our ruling class. They intermarry and take up lifetime positions which they use to keep others out and their own in.
Halts are pretty normal when a stock swings in either direction.
The unusual fuckery are things like the clearing houses changing the rules and requiring 100% deposits on a few stocks (rather than say, 2%) which means that traders like RH who don't have the liquidity must restrict buying because they can only cover x number of new buys.
I agree, this is a critical point everyone seems to be missing. Stock price is not the metric about whether the play is working, if we are winning or not. It's not a bubble, it's a squeeze.
I hope you can get this info spread far and wide.
And sorry about your loss. Sorry someone died before getting to see how this story plays out.
Texas was considering seceding two months ago but now that can't muster the cahones to give the nod to the idling gas/coal plants and ignore the environmental requirements??
Just fucking do it. They can 'fine' you after. In fact, make them take you to court first.
