March 26th edit:

GME has had a wild few weeks. Not to toot my own horn, but it turns out back on March 1st that I was right about GME ballooning again in the weeks that followed.

Quite likely that was blind luck. Regardless, I have a theory that this pattern may repeat itself yet again which I'll post further down.





Original post -

quote:

I almost made a topic about this yesterday (March 1) only to decide against it since I feel like this has been beaten to death already, but recent activity has me curious as to what the rest of y'all think is going on with it now.

If WSB is to be believed, the shorters were never actually able to navigate their way out in January due to shares being naked shorted / double or triple shorted and they've doubled down on new short positions.

Whatever the truth may be, the fact is GME stayed in the $40-50 range for a mere ten days before ballooning to $90 and up. Now it has been stable over $90 for five days.

I mention that only because if whatever happens in the next week is anything remotely like what happened in January, there may be a similar pattern emerging.


GME was stable for months at $15-20 until ballooning to $43 over the course of six days then $347 in four more

Note that obviously these are rough approximations of what's going on with the closing prices as a whole week to week. Individual days are often wild, and it's obviously not a perfect Monday to Monday week cycle.

If this cycle remains even remotely intact, next week's closing prices should be relatively stable. Relative for the GME insanity that is. Maybe it's as low as $120 again, maybe as high as $220, but I would think averaging out within the ballpark of where it's at now. - 4/6 update: Indeed as it turns out closing prices for the week of 3/29 to 4/1 did remain stable / relatively flat



Sometime between next week and the week after there should start to be steady growth in closing prices again. If the cycle continues, I expect an explosive week to follow the steady growth weeks.

But honestly who the hell knows at this point. I am having fun trying to read the tea leaves though. Good luck to everyone else that might be trying to profit off this clusterfrick

ETA: And I'm just going to swing for the fences and say 4/20 will be the next red letter day, because reality has become such a weird fricking parody of itself so why not.

GME is gambling at this point. Some of it is informed gambling, but people are so primed to believe another run is possible, you’re going to have even more bag holders who don’t have a clue what is going on think they can cash in on a second go.

I wouldn’t get sucked into the GME gambit for anything with how much money there is to be made elsewhere.

GME is making a run right now after being flat in the 120 range the last few days. Damn near the exact thing happened on 1/22. After being flat for a few days it started taking off after lunch.

Supposedly hedge funds lost 882 million on RKT this week, now the markets are taking a bath while GameStop goes up. Some kind of frickery is afoot IMO.

Got in at $75 after the peak when it went down. Sold 60% today @ $135. The remaining 40% is now house money. As stated previously, unless your crystal ball is working, who knows where it’ll go!

I would pull it out now because the house money talk is pure greed talking. Pigs get fat hogs get slaughtered.

Yep, I know. GME is a bit like playing the hard ways at a hot craps table.

I get taking this approach when you're at the casino and plan to break even or even lose some given that it's entertainment, but it's not a great approach to investing.

You may want to keep in mind..."pump and hold" is a terrible investing strategy.

Tell me how bad of an investment strategy buying it at $45 a share was.

Doesn’t take a crystal ball to know where that stock is going. Just a matter of how soon it happens.

Let us know when you sell.

I can walk into a casino and put money on red 21. If it hits, that doesn't mean that playing roulette every day for months or years is a winning strategy.

Sold the remaining 40% today at $180.06. My overall return across the total was slightly over 100%. I’m out now.

Now if PLTR would turn around to break-even, that’d be great.
