You have to be a real low life piece of shite to get involved in short selling.

Bill, Jeff & Mark invited them to the table. Turns out, the Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase was right, everybody does have a price.

Not really. If something is a turd, why not bet on it going down in value? The whole damn thing is a casino anyway... Why should only a-hole hedge funds be able to short something while maintaining their dignity?

Totally disagree.

Many of today's left wingers are left wing because that is the side of the elite. Left wingers either view themselves as elite, want to side with the elite, or want to be subservient to the elite. Hence why they side with the elite, over the stupid uneducated redneck racist plebs on the right.

Since the elite are being screwed, they are siding with the hedge funders.

It seems like some people think that the common man (all of us) should limit ourselves to an arbitrary set of standards that hedge funds and other *taste maker* assholes are not limited by. Sounds like a great way to underperform. As long as shorting is a possibility where little guys can make money, why in the hell would you want to limit it?

At the end of the day the stock market is just betting on black (it's going up) or betting on red (it's going down).

Leftists are pro-everything that fricks the average American and enriches elite globalists while maintaining a permanent slave class to keep them in power.

Trash human beings.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts slammed hedge funds and investors who were criticizing the traders driving up GameStop stock, saying they've treated the stock market "like their own personal casino" and calling for stricter regulations.

"With stocks soaring while millions are out of work and struggling to pay their bills, it's not news that the stock market doesn't reflect our actual economy," Warren said in a Wednesday statement. "For years, the same hedge funds, private equity firms, and wealthy investors dismayed by the GameStop trades have treated the stock market like their own personal casino while everyone else pays the price."



quote:

The progressive Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York echoed Warren's sentiments, tweeting on Wednesday: "Gotta admit it's really something to see Wall Streeters with a long history of treating our economy as a casino complain about a message board of posters also treating the market as a casino."

So is that the narrative your siding with? Or will it be when the MSM and Biden regime create another EO? I just want to mark it for the record.

Couldn’t have said it better. Especially with people who grew up in small towns and rural communities it’s all about trying to make themselves seem more intellectually, morally, culturally superior than the rest us trash.

Why do we have to pick a side? Am I trying to frame this as left v right? I don’t get anyone being angry about the shorts or the pumpers or reading anything into it. And everyone seems to miss the fact that the biggest beneficiaries of this pump are the elite institutional holders on the other side of the equation...if they monetize before the impending crash.
