GameStop Stock vs. Wall Street

Like most of you I have no clue about all the technical details, but something huge is going on here.

It's even hard to find unbiased information about this because all major news outlets are in on this.

You mean the reddit users want to bankrupt GameStop? If I am not mistaken, it is exactly the other way around.

I have zero idea. I haven't paid attention to the stock stuff. I just posted the video because it was trending and something about Elon Musk responded to it and my boyfriend's cousin was going crazy about buying gamestop stock and making $7000 and buying some other stock related to this whole situation.

Re: GameStop Stock vs. Wall Street

Been following this a few days,it is indeed kinda big news...now that this possibility has been 'discovered' by the public,I'm sure these stockmarket boys are kinda going weak in their knees.


To Sunshine :that is indeed what happened:a greedy soulless investment company (hedge fund) tried to make a quick buck by trying to drive the price down,but got money(cock)blocked by a large group of normal everyday internet (reddit) users who started buying stock of Gamestop massively,thus drivig the price up and thwarting the plan of that non scrupulous investment firm.(They 'loaned ' those stocks ,meaning they sell em to you now ,but will only buy the stocks themselves when the price has gone down)

The best part for me is that the 'system' again shows that if  'Joe Public' wins and 'The Big Man' loses ,it's the 'Big Man' that gets protected as the BUYING and not the SELLING of these stocks has been HALTED! (yet 'someone is still buying stock,I wonder who ......not really)


The 'free market' proves again that the whole 'game' is rigged for most people to lose,even if 'they' have to change the rules when the 'game' is played correctly,'they' aren't allowed to lose,but 'you' are.......


Kapitalism in the form as we have it is a dragon that will burn us all.


indeed a shrubbery :

Ok I get it, it's not really about GameStop itself, GameStop is just the battleground, got it. But damn this is huge, lol.

This is heavily misleading. Like seventy said, gamestop is just the battleground. This subreddit, wallstreetbets, realized that big hedge funds were short selling( google this) gamestop and decided to do something about it. Short selling should be illegal and its absurd that its even allowed. Zoidberg explained it pretty well btw.

Hedge fund companies are losing billions. The average person who got in it early made money. It's going to go way back to whatever it was probably. So there'll probably a lot of those who got in on it late who lose money too.

Re: GameStop Stock vs. Wall Street

Yeah in this case they wanted the shares to go down i value (they earn money that way) or even make the company so worthless it have to close down their bussiness.

The platform they used (Robinhood) stopped normal using from buying shares, meanwhile those hedgefund guys cold still use the platform so they bought and sold to each other at lower prices making the overall price go down drastically.
Normally most people would sell at that point (when platform opened up again) because they be affraid to loose the money they have put in, but this reddit guys didnt fall for that trick so they still in bussiness and not giving up.

Also these reddit guys have started to check on other companys stocks and buying "preemptive" to prevent them be ruined by those same sharks, some movie theater chain i think and some others, like some sort of candy manufacturer etc.

edit: here is some example of a really big shark https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Wednesday

In the months leading up to Black Wednesday, among many other currency traders, George Soros had been building a huge short position in pounds sterling that would become immensely profitable if the pound fell below the lower band of the ERM. Soros believed the rate at which the United Kingdom was brought into the Exchange Rate Mechanism was too high, inflation was too high (triple the German rate), and British interest rates were hurting their asset prices.

He did the same to other countries to, Sweden was one of them https://sv.metapedia.org/wiki/George_Soros

George Soros became known to the Swedish public when he speculated in 1992 that the Swedish krona was overvalued, which ended in a financial crisis that was difficult for Sweden and made Soros' fortune grow.

How can one single nerd take down a whole economy. Usually it's the country's president who does that...

Ahh I didn't take notice, but I do know that a single man (Stephen Elop) brought down the entire Finnish economy by selling out Nokia to Microsoft. Well not really, of course, lol but Fins still do hate him to the core.

It wasnt just him alone, but he was involved. Seeing he did the same to United Kingdom, why would it be any different with Sweden?

https://www.forskning.se/2013/04/25/avr … isen-1990/

Many speculators in the international foreign exchange market, including George Soros, felt that the krona was overvalued and began to speculate against it. The Government and the Riksbank decided to defend the value of the krona by raising the interest rate, first to 75 per cent and then to an unlikely 500 per cent.

Facts are facts and they should go out, no matter what race or religion some actor has. Thanks for re-posting. What I find interesting is that after all the decades living in the USA he still has that thick accent.
