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.

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      By rmoneyg35 · Posted

      Any idea what happened to him at LSU? im reading that he was considered a 1st round pick in 2023, had an off 2024 season with only 4 sacks but was also on a horrible FSU team then went to LSU where he was supposed to be on an aggressive defense that should have given him a lot of sacks but he only ended up with one….   was he injured? Did the top SEC competition expose him? What happened? Cause this guy was considered a top prospect .

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      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.
