Just offering facts here. Once the retail investors or even long institution holders start cashing in it will fall and fall fast.


You will not be fast enough to place a sell order and click ok before it moves. You will chase it ALL the way down.

Sage advice, the reality is that there are gonna be a lot of losers when the dust settles on this, and the vast majority of them will not be the hedge funds.

Agreed. I have a limit order set for $2,000. Good call.

We have gone from Diamond Hands to setting a stop loss. Fitting ends for that company, GameStop.

A stop loss is no guarantee either. Stop losses get blown past all the time on fast movers.

The hands are deep and wide...and I suspect have some unknown sources working in that direction...remember Carl when he got after Ackman?

It's not worth a dime until you sell and someone has to buy what youre selling. There will be winners and losers

Yep every time something like this happens... everyone wonders why the stop loss did not get them out.

Nice! I wish TD would let me set mine that high. They cancelled my $1000 limit sell order. It's at $200 now on AMC.

I did not say it crashes monday. I am simply telling you facts.


You saw what happened all this week and has fast it moved. Sometimes in 20 dollar spikes one way or the other.

You will not be fast enough to manually set the sell and click ok... WHEN EVER that happens.


Setting a stop loss does NOT mean it will ever reach it and sell it. It simply you telling your broker that if it drops to this price... sell it.

Fidelity will only let me set a sell limit at 50% above the current price. That's like $500. Lol, I want a $2000 sell limit.

None of these user-based platforms allow for split second sell orders, even with a stop-loss order.
