I'm not sure if you disagree with something I said, but all I was saying should be stopped is the ability to sell naked shorts.

Are you just going to keep making stupid barbs about relaxing and "fun at parties" in order to avoid the fact that there really isn't anything the SEC should charge him with?

If "Kitty" was really this Robin Hood figure as all the idiotic millenial socialists believe-

Wall Street could completely annihilate him today now that he publicized he is the whale who purchased so many shares.

the fact he is still making money just proves this is all theater for the masses of idiots orchestrated by the same Wall Street that he and his acolytes condemn.

No, you are just being obtuse.

He probably hasn't committed a crime however as I stated above repeatedly. That doesn't matter, they'll find something. Show me the man and I'll show you the crime.......

Clear enough for you?

No.

You know the man, go ahead, show me the crime you want the government to intervene in his posting of memes for.

I think you are misunderstanding why the WSB guys love him. It's not because he is giving any money to the poor, it's because he has figured out how to screw over hedge fund guys that are consistently manipulating the market to screw over the retail trader. Of course he is getting rich off this. I think calling it a "socialist" sentiment is naive. It's definitely more of a small fish versus big fish thing though.

It's less Robin Hood and more The Joker, if anything.

Feels like 4D chess and a whole lotta rope a dope.

He just did DD and found GameStop was way overshorted. He had a weekly video podcast where he would talk about how he had bet his entire life savings (when he started his life savings were like $60k) on being right back in 2020, and reddit and others started following him on the trade and almost all refused to sell, causing the squeeze to go higher and higher, and gaining more retail traction. It took about a year initially to pay off IIRC. After the original fiasco bankrupted a hedge fund, he was called into Congress over the deal. So he has a massive following now.

Check out Dumb Money on Netflix for a Hollywood version of the story.

Makes one wonder if this is a distraction intentionally to stop the market.

But shorting $60MM worth of stock is not manipulation.

I'd be laughing if not throwing up.

that's right, only people with Ivy league educations and hyphenated last names are allowed to manipulate the market. I remember the good old days of Covid, when you'd see some random purchase of 1,000,000 call options on Gilead right before a non-peer reviewed copy of a study was "accidentally leaked" showing remdesivir was successful in treating covid (hint, it wasn't).

No surprise GameStop is up. Colleges around the country are out for the summer.
Is this an indication of how today's "higher education" teaches the fundamentals investing?
Many are (have already?) going to loose their ass.

DFV was long Call Options, I believe. Using a lot of his profits from 2021 it seems.

Nope, I understand exactly.

the entire point from WSB was to screw "Wall Street" - they said it a thousand times.

my point is that "Wall Street" is making just as much money off of this farce as any of the plebes that think they are "screwing wall street"

This is why the SEC wants to ban Roaring Kitty

Assuming that's correct, that would force the funds to buy in the open market and retail investors could name their price as the short is squeezed to the moon.

How do these meme stocks work? Does some social media influencer just talk up a stock and his followers rush to buy and bid it up?

It's more that hedgefunds short sold businesses (like Gamestop and AMC) that they believed were outdated.

Redditors on Wall Street Bets realized that the short position was greater than the actual valuation of the company (I believe that for GME, it was 6X), so they began buying up and squeezing the stocks because they knew the hedge funds would have to buy back the stock to satisfy their short position.

Watch the movie Dumb Money on Netflix. A really good movie based on GameStop.

Based on that tweet, call option sellers have 9.4M in inventory. Roaring Kitty has a claim on 12M. If so, that leaves a deficit of 2.6M.

Online speculation is that people will set their sell price at $1000. That's $980 loss per stock, or $2.6B loss for the hedge funds.

I'm not sure if they will survive this.
