How are you guys placing such high limit sells?

Fidelity only allows me to place them at 50% of the current trade.

Is that normal?

plus he's speaking of a theory i had that US Treasury may flood some super low interest money into banks so they can fund these funds and survive the shitstorm they're about to face.

the variable that matters right now is time. who can hold out longer

Are you implying that's an anomaly?

Would it matter if it was? Nothing about this is normal. They're making up their own rules as they go along.


Edit: I'm with Schwab.

They didn't run on any policy. They only ran on Orange Man Bad.

The website didn't bat an eye when I set it.

And I just checked and it's still open.

It’d be awesome if GME shareholders could ask for a buyout. Say $10k a share. Would still probably be less than what will be paid to bail out the institutions

Yep.

W bailing out banks in 2008 was a bad look but it was done in part because he was in a lame duck administration and they didn’t want to destroy things for the next administration.

Biden? He’s less than two weeks into office and already looking at this. The rest of his term will likely be majorly affected by how the administration responds here.

I am not in the game but know a little about this. I think this is the crucial point. If the retail investors hold the line the hedgefunds will choke out. It is almost life UFC. They are in a head lock and will choke out if the pressure remains.

The point about loans and floats to hold their position is valid and concerning. But... If 80% will simply unplug and wait 1-2 weeks it will happen.

And that is what probably happens.

A LOT of the retail investors did this with discretionary funds they had on hand, meaning they can park it in the stock indefinitely.

Their only loss is opportunity cost by not cashing in the stock.

The funds? They are bleeding billions in interest holding their positions.

You're saying 50% above current value?

I disagree. The American people have proven to have extremely short attention spans and lack the critical thought to make informed decisions on what’s best for their well-being.

Biden can frick “Reddit terrorists” and save the “economy,” which is exactly how it will be spun. CNN already had an article the other say linking WSB to Trump supporters and today on CNN business one that says WSB is basically 4chan and regularly uses homophobic language.
