Did this happen? I haven't been paying attention.

I think that was always an extreme scenario, but had they not interfered with retail last Thursday things may very well have exploded since it was in arm's reach of $500 a share pre-market. At this point though I think the main circumstances driving that surge have been mitigated (legitimately, illegitimately, or somewhere in between) and while some volatile short-term value can still be had, enough time has passed that the main at-risk parties have sufficiently hedged.

I was joking. I bought a shed load of puts and have enjoyed watching it dive. When something tells you what they are believe them. I was told that $GME was being artificially (severely) overvalued for no reason other than a protest. Which I think is great but I have no emotion in the game.

Moleman told me it was going to $500 but couldn't articulate why? Which is what has been happening on WSB. Oh well.

With respect to valuation I think there was a tangible driver there beyond sentiment but yeah, that driver was by nature fleeting. Those funds got caught but were not going to sit there and be bled in perpetuity.

KOSS was another example of the insanity last week. Wish I would have bought into that one for a fast flip.

Speaking as someone not entirely knowledgable on this, but 13B to a bunch of hedgefunders doesn't amount to a lot.  Who's to say WSB was fed some information regarding Gamestop in order to artificially inflate the price (other hedgefunders/or same) in order to create a greater fall for shorting.  

WSB manipulated by the same people they are thinking they are hurting.

Squeeze will happen, just waiting for the hedge fund to actually bite the bullet. Short ladder attacks have happened for days. Very little volume is being moved. 

The biggest gains were last week. There may be some more mini rallys but there's no way that the investors on the short side will be anywhere near the position they got caught in, or at the very least they're sure going to have a lot more hedging, and the retail side has taken too many losses to recapture the momentum necessary. Call me cynical but we now also know that shenanigans can (will?) occur to short-circuit the biggest happenings. Was fascinating to watch while it was happening though.

At this point it's sure possible but the original run-up was IMO lightning in a bottle, a perfect storm of over-extension by short-sellers on an undervalued stock getting caught up in an unprecedented wave of retail market participation after the abnormally large gains went mainstream. I'm not sure there was really a single misinformation campaign that could have effectively kicked that whole thing off but folks no doubt found way sot manipulate and capitalize.

there is an article in the WSJ about a hedge fund that made nearly a billion dollars (700 million) on the Gamestop event.

      Is Charlotte the worst sports city right now?

      By Seltzer · Posted

      I went to Canes games back in '04 & '05 when you were probably still a swimmer waiting to make your dad a father. There was no one there bc they sucked. Some of the lowest attendance in the NHL. As a Panthers fan coming off a SB season (03-04), I couldn't even believe they put a hockey team in Raleigh, and given the attendance, a lot of people speculated they would be relocated somewhere back up north where they would be supported and not "Mayberry." Seriously, educate youself.  That is reality. That being said, comparing that environment to 2024 Canes would be disingenuous. I was at PNC last year and know how great the current environment is. Comparing the current environment at BOA to 10 years ago is just as disingenuous.  Just bc you didn't witness how good BOA is when the Panthers are actually decent doesn't change reality. Seriously, surely you see that coming from such an elitist environment like the globally renowned world-class city of Raleigh, NC... I guarantee you if you went to a Canes game and a Panthers game in 2005, the difference would be unreal bc the Panthers were awesome and the Canes were (at the time) a moribund franchise. I have been in BOA when the whole stadium was rocking. You simply are young, don't know what you're talking about, but want to portray yourself as having knowledge about things you simply don't. You have a lot in common with modern day politicians and televangelists Like I said, Idiocracy has prevailed... Have a great day too!

      Let it all out bro.   At the end of the day Charlotte fans just aren't that passionate as other fans. The Panthers and Hornets crowds are wack.    Go to a Canes game and you will understand this. Tell the family I said hi and Happy Father's Day.

      Dude you have no idea what you're talking about. Best place to live?  LMAO... that's your criteria...  Charlotte gets put all over those lists too... come on man... and those lists have zero to do with sports. I'm done after this bc I'm punching down intellectually here... The Panthers have been bad for 6 years now. You are obviously young and not overly educated based off the "dunks" you're putting out there that certainly are, so let me educate you today on the Panthers. The Panthers sold out for well over a decade straight. BOA has been as good an environment as there is when the team is good.  Fan support for the Panthers has been incredible when the team has even remotely reciprocated. The idea that Charlotte doesn't support the Panthers is utter BS. People in Raleigh have the biggest little brother syndrome of all time... Nobody outside of the Triangle cares about any of your "vaunted" sports team outside of Duke-UNC in basketball on a national scale. Sure, the Canes are great. But nationally, the WWE dwarfs the NHL in ratings. More people care about Cody Rhodes than Sebastian Aho... or anyone else in the NHL for that matter... I doubt less than 5% of anyone in this state outside of Raleigh even knows who that is... that's a knock on Aho who is a great player, it's just the NHL barely makes a ripple in the overall hierarchy of American sports. It's not in the same universe as the NFL or NBA no matter how badly you want to tell yourself otherwise. Raleigh is not a big-time sports city, no matter how much you want to scream into the abyss about it. Neither is Charlotte. But no one here is making such a nonsense argument... LOL it's good to be young and to be ignorant enough to be confidently wrong... WTF are you even on this board though since Charlotte is so beneath you? There is an actual discussion board on this very site for Raleigh sports since they are so superior...  Maybe it's bc I'm watching Idiocracy with my son, but your timing is perfect, my man... The dumbest among us have become the most confidence in their ignorance... God Bless America!!
