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

    • And I’m fine with that.   But, with an impatient owner….that carries high odds of just him employing a new HC in the not distant future.  The “we will see if the scheme that doesn’t fit our #1 overall pick QB works or not” approach seems like a rocky plan for all.  If I was Canales I would give it shot but demanded I need to be able to sign a legit backup QB in case what I was given just doesn’t work and can transition at the end of the year 
    • That's really unlikely to happen.  The reality is, they are building for what Canales wants to do.  That's what all coaches do.  And if Bryce can't do that, he's another peg that has to be replaced.
    • There is nothing unpopular at all about your opinion. How everything played out on the field backs it up. Bryce starts the season with much fanfare, gives the atl game away, and showed anyone who watched that his arm talent was shockingly bad. bad look, so after a few weeks, the team cooks up a fake injury that nobody saw, presumably to decide what direction to go next. Enter Dalton for one game while Bryce is seen walking comfortably on the sideline, smiling and yucking it up like he’s a 5 year vet.  Dalton performs admirably given the circumstances (please no Dalton ve Bryce retort). The contrast between the two was so strong that it’s still debated today. If Dalton’s performance was similar to what Bryce had done up to that point, I truly believe they would have sat Bryce longer, but it wasn’t.  Dalton relied on vet savvy and a better arm. It’s debatable how many games that gets us. Meaningless to fans, but not to players with serious financial incentives on the line.  What it really was, was a ‘young man (see what I did?)’ playing a grown man’s game, who lacked basic fundamentals and essential physical talent, behind a line that was VERY ill suited for the scheme forced on them, WRs who looked completely confused and unmotivated, with a back stabbing coaching staff in give up mode, GM who I wouldn’t trust to organize my cooking utensil drawer and an owner who meets with coaches every week and tells them which plays he likes and which ones he doesn’t.  Bryce doesn’t get a mulligan, but I’m willing to give him a ‘my bad’ from the team. Last season stunk worse than Bigfoot’s di**. It literally can’t get ANY worse than the unwatchable sh** show that was last year.  I have to see a monumental change in his physical ability and overall confidence. I have to see that he found a laser arm, somewhere, in the offseason, or everything else is irrelevant.
