They're buying put options as we speak. The GameStop price, artificially elevated, will fall harder and faster than it would have before. They will make more money than before.
Right now they are having to liquidate other holdings to cover short positions which is dragging down other stocks, they may make money eventually, but definitely feeling the pain right now.

AMC too?

Individual investors are creating short squeezes by piling into these names, while hedge funds that are short on the other side are rushing to cover their losses. They are promoting their activity on the wallstreetbets Reddit board, which has 2.8 million members. AMC appeared to be a growing topic of interest on the board. Short selling is a strategy in which investors borrow shares of a stock at a certain price in expectations that the market value will fall below that level when it’s time to pay for the borrowed shares.

Money board has a list of stocks with the highest percentage of shorts compared to outstanding stocks.
AMC is on there but Timberland is number 1 with a bullet at about 960% short sold.

Soros is the short king. I can only pray he somehow gets arse raped. And also squeezed.
Doubtful. He'll continue to live and thrive financially and gain more power and influence while good people suffer and die.
So it goes.

The point is, they have to survive. Most of these are $20 investors that would gladly pay it to sink the shorts so they can just hold it indefinitely.

Stocks that are massively shorted. This is a gamer squeeze of hedge funds.

Will Nasdaq hold trading on stocks that are subject to Jim Cramer style reporting telling people to buy or sell?

Yellen jumping in now.

I’d pat myself on the back for “calling it,” but I can’t see how it wasn’t the most obvious thing in the world.

Anyone got the donation history on the hedge funds and their primary traders?
Given Trump previously targeting their “carried interest” for higher taxation, I’m sure the people getting fricked at the moment donated heavily to Biden.

Yep. This will absolutely be used to push “reform” under the guise of reigning in Wall Street but in effect killing the individual investors who are responsible for this action. Wall Street and social media will be the declared boogie men, but the people will be treated as the boogie men in reality.

Unless they gonna completely remove the ability of people to invest in heavily aborted stocks, this (Yellen) will just feed the frenzy
