Makes no sense to exit until we have some evidence that the net short interest is significantly decreasing.

This is the way. Also looks like the shorts doubled down. There is a post on reddit looking at whats been going on the past weeks and it is very eye opening for some. Definitely market manipulation going on but its a okay for the big boys to do it. I'll post some quotes from it in a minute.

I think you're misunderstanding what the play is here. There aren't enough shares for them to buy back to close their original short positions. They are paying ridiculous amounts of money everyday to hold these shorts open as the stock keeps rising. People on wsb, including my dumbass, have set limit orders at insane prices. IF they get margin called, they will have to buy the shares at whatever the limit order sells are set at in order to close.

I bought in for the first time when the stock was at 14$. I could give a frick less if it tanks 20% in a day. I will simply sit and wait them out.


I get it, but everyone in this thing is not set up like you and some of the other long holders.

People will get scared. People will sell at big losses. Especially those that just jump on board because they see the giant moves and aren't in tune with the goal of the reddit "mission". It's just human nature.

There will be losers. There are always losers.

Sounds like they shouldn't be investing then. Investing is a gamble, 100%.

For GME at this moment, if you wanted to get in, just put in what you are comfortable with. I"ve noticed that most of the days, it dips hard around 10am and then starts trending back up around or after lunch. Don't buy at 9am unless you just don't care. But there is still money to be maid on GME. Shorts have to pay larger interest rates and the higher the price goes, the more of a risk it is, which means higher rates to make up for that risk. Buying the stock doesn't have this added problem. They already down a lot, unless they are trying to do a quick wealth transfer, which it may end up being just that.

Main issue is the market breakers destroying the squeeze. We’re gaining upwards, but could be much faster

Eh, I think you're confusing what is going on here and investing.

They’re set to have a big quarter with the launch of the Xbox x and the holiday season. They’ve already taken a pretty good bounce this year and I think a buck is to be made at the current prices.


the consoles dont bring in profit, its the individual game sales. new console releases spur game sales, however, with more and more downloadable games, game sales companies are seeing a steady fall of in revenue as they are by-passed

Following this thread is exhilarating by itself. I can’t imagine the roller coaster if I actually had skin in the game on this one.

i've been reading the posters pushing NOK and BB were new accounts(maybe by institutions) pushing potentiall moon shots to have people scrap their GME earnings and flood new ones

those accounts have apparently been banned on WSB

I tried to warn them in the NOK thread that they weren't genuinely pumping NOK...
