I was just about to post this.  One of the top comments points out of ridiculous the entirety of the stock market is and how we're all dumb for giving our money to companies to invest on our behalf.

But finding out that it's putting leverage on a billionaire makes me smile.  My hope though is for the actual employees of GameStop.  Not sure what good can come for them, but I just hope for their betterment.

I am shorting through puts hoping that the market becomes rational again but I'm not convinced it will. If it does I will make bank.

Basically a mob has said forget earnings we determine what the value of a stock is. We buy it which means people who are short will have to buy it (short squeeze) and people who have to own it because of hedges will have to buy it (gamma squeeze). So if I buy one share two other people will have to buy a share too. And if we all mobfund this it will take off.

My question is is it sustainable? It doesn't seem like it but this could represent a watershed event in how trading is done. 

I think once the mob realizes paper gains are paper gains until you sell this will crash.

kicking myself for not getting in earlier, bit the bullet around 300 and probably going to regret it but it feels good to put the pressure on the hedge funds. can already see them crying and reaching out to their establishment shills to shame the little guys. these fugers crashed the economy in 08/09 and got bailed out but they cant stand a little heat from retail investors and now want to change the rules so only they can get enriched by cheating the system.

Agreed on all points. The short vs float is what makes this so interesting and could seemingly have a massive ripple as funds adjust to make sure they aren't caught in a similar situation in the future.

I'm about to buy some Blockbuster stock!  Come on huddle. Let's get real crazy!!

but in all seriousness, watch how fast the government can make moves when they actually care about something. 

Ditto.

it’s all good, fair, and completely dictated by the free market when some 1 percenter hedge fund people and corporations are stacking the deck but when the average Joe finds away to win at the card table - OH HELL NAW we got to change the regulations and rules. USA USA USA

    • I get the rookie QB formula and fully expected to see it implemented. Oh well. For the run game there was no or very little under center stuff until a good ways into the year. At least that is how I am remembering it. And no deep throwing - so stacked boxes which you can say chicken or egg on why.  Hard to run like that.  The QB that people said was so great was pulled for a designated Hail Mary thrower. That’s pretty unusual. And may speak to why we saw few deep balls in some part, along with the OL. To ignore that stuff means you aren’t working with all of the information when you try to mentally model or project what it might be like on the field.  Me, I have a slice of hope that he could maybe be NFL average but getting him to be a plus type of QB is a huge job. It depends on designing the playbook with certain values at the foundation that have to be adhered to first . You have to integrate the other pieces around this one guy’s skill set because he is a real outlier. And he has to learn the under center skill set. Maybe put that Only Positive thread back up people can go there if they don’t want to deal with rightly frustrated fans. 
    • Someone has to bare witness to what happens. It's hard to complain if you don't sit through it all. 
    • I do not pretend to be infallible or without flaws. I've been wrong on things over the years. We all have. Realistically most of what's been said here and on other Panthers fans social media platforms between the months of May and September for the last several years amounts to little more than spam. People drew lines in the sand over contentious takes on Bridgewater too. To the point of being asked if some people are really a Panthers fan over it. There will be reactionary spam during the season too particularly on gamedays. I've been reading these discussions on the huddle for 20 years. It's the same stuff rehashed the only thing that changes are the names in the front office the coaching staff and the roster. Some fans might be best served to stick to the official team social feeds if they are burned out on all this. Nothing wrong with that either. Different strokes for different folks. We're all human. As for the huddle. Honestly most of us post here out of habit. It's a habit hard to break. No different than the majority of the population that can't stop scrolling Facebook or X. Basically.....
