The irony of meme investors making the elite wealthier is comical

The whole diamond hands and stick it to the shorts mentality has been a massive moneymaker for the big firms. Guys like Ryan Cohen and Adam Aron have played the masses like a fiddle. While I’m well aware that people have made money on some of these trades, the fact of the matter is that most are bag holders for the wealthy.

Cohen exits his entire position before BBBY falls 50%

Haha yeah good one what a bunch of dummies they’re gambling and losing their money to pedophiles in hopes of making more instead of just willfully giving their money to pedophiles in the form of taxes and contributions to vanguard like you do

You really got em that time!

Diamond hands bro. The Gamma squeeze is just coming to play. Gotta hold on for one more day. Break free from the pain. Some day someone is gonna make you turn around and say goodbye.

Make your money and sell. These idiots love holding bags for billionaires. I hit GME big last year, but took my profits and moved on.

I don’t trust any of the charlatans like Chamath, Ryan Cohen, or Bill Ackman. They will 100% do what’s best for themselves and you have to as well.

There’s a saying on wallstreetbets that I abide by. “If it’s good enough to screenshot, it’s good enough to sell.”

I don't disagree, but there really isn't a scenario where the "little guy" makes money and the "big guy" doesn't.

I was basically making this exact point in the AMC thread, right around when they were issuing new shares at the inflated prices, which the masses gobbled up cuz it was gonna moon. And when Aron was selling tens of millions of dollars of stock at those inflated prices (but they were scheduled!!!!).

Which is all why

Adam Aron’s antics have amped his movie chain’s stock and his army of fans—so far. It only gets harder from here.

This is not true. There are hundreds, perhaps thousands of stocks that have made millions of retail investors tons of money over the medium to long term.

Let's stop trying to pretend the only way to make money in the market is by betting on a shitty company.

Cohen was trying to help them restructure. He changed 3 seats on the board and ousted the CEO. He's not one to simply dump bags on the average joe. There is more to this than appears. BBBY filed an 8K yesterday morning saying they reached an agreement with RC Ventures to help strengthen their balance sheet. He also had to give 60-70% of the profits from his sale right back to them due to the Insider swing profit rule. My guess is there will be an announcement in the next 2 weeks that RC Ventures is acquiring BuyBuyBaby, he couldn't aquire it as an insider.

Also BBBY is now on Reg Sho which means T+13 settlement for FTDs instead of T+35. OPEX next week should be interesting. If they are smart, they will make their announcement Monday PM after market close to time with OPEX clearing on Tuesday.

Yep.

When it comes to trading I try not to forget the "sell high" part of "Buy low, sell high".

Yep. I'm really hoping it dips under 10 before close, I will load up on 9/2 calls for cheap.
