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.
I love this, "See we were gleefully watching and making money off of the impending destruction of Gamestop, but someone found out and used it against us, and now people are gleefully watching our impending destruction and we don't like it".

You're misreading the table. That's $853k (in millions), so $853B.

If you don't know what the DTCC is, do some research.

This is a great starting point.

The only people that have manipulated the market are the platforms not letting people buy or sell certain stocks because their buddies told them to.

This seems like an SEC violation.

So who sold the calls?

Was it market makers or some algorithm? Wouldn't market makers and algorithms normally "hedge" buy purchasing shares or some other option combo to limit their risk?

Also, not having the shares in possession doesn't necessarily mean the option call seller is exposed to the share price gains, they could have bought a call at a different strike which would cap their losses on the call they sold.

I'd say interesting more than big. I love the fight in the little guy but he's Glass Joe taking on Mike Tyson.....

Won't be surprised to see the SEC step in prior to the live stream and put a hold on GME trades due to "manipulation".

Think about the set up. We had the SEC Chairman on CNBC two days ago talking about a guy in his house squeezing a video game retailer. It's not like this stock is vital to national interests like an energy or oil producer or even a bank. A freaking video retailer!

Gensler is as dirty as they come. He was Hillary's campaign chair. His boss at MIT was Caroline Ellison's father. You know the CEO of Alameda Research, aka SBFs girlfriend. He's going to protect his friends.

Down to the 30's pre-market already. GME said they are gonna issue like 75 million new shares in their earnings report.

GameStop is going to try and get as much cash out of this as they can as their business continues to evaporate.

This is what I have been stating in the entire thread:

most of these reddit losers just want to inflict pain on others, because many are socialists and marxists

but they are too stupid to realize that with high frequency trading and AI tools, EVERY billionaire and hedge fund is faster than Maria in her mom's basement.

they are too stupid to realize that OF COURSE Wall Street is making money on this.

how did it end for all the HODLERs back 4 years ago?

Agreed. For every Reddit dork in their basement that can buy 2-3 or even 10 shares there's a Wall street firm that can sell short 100,000+ shares. There aren't enough of these dorks to buy up the new shares that Game Stop can issue, not forever.

Game Stop as a national brick and mortar enterprise is a dying marketplace. With new games being entirely cloud based there is continually decreasing utility in brick and mortar retail for second hand physical media. Their only market is nostalgia.

Flea markets aren't publicly traded.

Probably time to look into how HFT algos can be programmed to "exploit" the market and social media.


BTW the naked shorts are in for a very bad day......

Buying a stock is manipulation.

Selling stock you don't even own in order to drive the price down is not. If the owners sell their stock, that's one thing.

That's some ****ed up logic there.

Drinking beer on a livestream caused the stock market to halt trading 7 times?

Yes, market manipulation is occurring but the clown isn't the one behind it.
