Basically except they’re holding as of now as opposed to shorting. I’m not some market savvy money guy so I’m curious how often funds short stock up to or even past its total public stock amount.

The people who run reddit, discord, etc are clearly getting calls from the actual power brokers ordering them to shut it all down.

“Violating company guidelines” is going to cause some real problems moving forward.

Imagine a flawlessly respectful corner of a message board..............that you don’t agree with with. Just spam hateful shite on it and you cancel it.

Or even worse.

What if the host site doesn’t agree with something on their website so they fake posts that “violate company guidelines?”

Banned for “hate speech”. Something so nebulous no one can refute it. Unbelievable.

Hate speech? Don't get me wrong. I don't think people should be able to organize things like this online, but no part of screwing over hedge funds constitutes "hate speech."

This is a sign that everything that contradicts them will be called "hate speech." Everything.

Big Tech in conjunction with Big Money will never EVER let the normal person win.

This actually should be a concern to everyone of all political spectrum.

Oh and now is the time to short GME


Cut my losses on GME puts at around 50% an hour before market close. Felt lucky to get out what I did. Now I'm remorseful.

Forming coalitions aimed at manipulating stocks for disruptive purposes? That's akin to insider trading, and it's a criminal conspiracy.

Not that I give a shite about the people they're targeting, but if everyone started doing this, it would be universally destructive.

They do it to our face and no one does anything. They show that they are in control and we're their peasants.

If you and your cronies are positioned to manipulate the stock price, it's AKIN to it in that it's a criminal conspiracy based on 100 positive knowledge of future stock prices.
