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. 

That's the beauty of the WSB degenerates...they already know this and the majority of them don't care. To many of them this is a kamikaze mission.

Stocks outside of buy and hold is just a big monetary game of hot potato. Sooner or later the music stops and you get burned. 

Maybe this is really a good thing to happen to the market.

This is definitely a trip to the stock casino. At the moment though we're winning big and the house isn't happy about it.

And back up to over 300 a bit ago.. this is crazy. Also major BS that brokers were (are still?) shutting off buying.

I am reading that Robinhood essentially rents space from Citadel and Citadel said they won't allow buying of GME.

Also I bought a share of GME on Ameritrade today when it was reported they were blocking GME buys.

The house always wins in the end. Vegas wasn't built on winners.

 

In all honesty, though, this is a good thing. A group of minor, wee minor, players got involved together to push the game in their favor and the big money players never saw it coming and didn't understand it when it did. Here's why it is good: Our system isn't rigged.

That's right, our system isn't rigged. It does, however, have a byzantine set of rules, opportunities and pitfalls that have come to be exploited by those who have the money to fund massive research not just in companies and investment vehicles, but to research the underlying math, laws and game theory (heck even chaos theory) to get every edge possible. They then have the funding at hand to make massive investments where their profits are just pennies per unit, but create ongoing profits. Those moves and manipulations use billions to make millions every day creating virtual money machines.

Moves like the Gamestop/AMC one can put a quake in the market. Nothing as financially devastating as the mortgage meltdown (and yeah, those big funds were the movers behind that), but something to make them take stock (no pun intended).

Shake 'em up. Run a couple of the bad ones into the ground. It's sometimes important to harpoon a whale or two.

Hold until Tuesday or Wednesday.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
