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.

      Bryce’s new look. He looks like a grown up

      By frankw · Posted

      Oh please with the wallowing in victimhood I'm going to take my ball and go home routine. You were just in here referring to people as super weird haters because they don't completely agree with your borderline delusional spin on what Bryce Young is and isn't as a fourth year starter. We can hope by some miracle that Bryce Young will actually be able to lead a formidable passing offense this season without being irrational homers and pretending verfiable data and what we have seen with our own two eyes doesn't tell us exactly what he has been to this point which is someone who moves the ball at a historically low rate.

      Vrabel and Russini? Athletic investigating.

      I am curious who's behind all of this though. A video and photos from years ago surfacing? Someone has a vendetta and is driving this PR campaign. I'm loving it, but I'd also like to know who said mystery figure is.

      I say positive things about Bryce when he earns them. Which he has a handful of times. It is all here and on the record but your lobby won’t focus on that or the flat out truth inside of our critical comments.  It is a constant thing with him and his backers - one or two good things and people are trying to extrapolate that to proof we should commit to him, while ignoring or making excuses for the larger portion of his track record.  When he is able to consistently turn in franchise QB extension worthy outings the tone of the posts will reflect that.  I have already said that if he would play like he did in the WC as often as we need him to, I would be okay with keeping him.  See you don’t want to talk about that though because it shows actual fair minded evaluation not stanning.
