Some practice shorting greatly overvalued Chinese companies. I don't have a problem with that.

I feel like this was a test by wall street to see how much money they can make and they executed it perfectly

They love the Biden presidency* policy be damned there’s money to be made

I’m not gunna lie, I’m very very extremely online, and this is the first I’ve heard about leftist “siding with hedge funds.”

The very most I’ve seen is some super left people saying “I’m a communist I do not care about the stock market at all.”

Everyone else - all political views - are absolutely loving the rich douche bags losing their asses because they short sold 140% of a stock.

If leftists do side with hedge funders, it’s probably because the media said they should or the media said the pumpers were racists or antisemitic.

Feel free to google my comments and post where I plagiarized. Unlike you, I have a working brain and independent thought.

In regards to Wall Street. I wonder if you can come up with your own narrative before your fed the MSM talking point tomorrow morning.


Are leftists doing that? I’m certainly not. I feel like this is a rare case where the right and left can stand side-by-side with each other and root against the dickhead cheats on Wall St.

Some funds do a great moral service short selling. For example Muddy Waters exposed the great Chinese stock scam in the 2010s. Chinese companies were cooking the books. Muddy Waters sent over their people to visit and investigate these Chinese companies in China and they were not cracked up to what they were being sold as in the US. They communicated the message to investors then shorted these Chinese fraud companies. Done the right way short selling provides a valuable service.

But on the other hand short selling to manipulate a stock price to zero of an otherwise good company is wrong.

It’s very strange to see people accuse leftists - whose only REAL goal is to abolish exuberant wealth (y’all call it communism on this board) - of siding with the people who are synonymous with exuberant wealth.

Just this once, one single instance, can we stand side by side, watch billionaires burn their own money away, and laugh together? frick em.

I think we can. This is the only place I've seen otherwise, actually, and even here there are only a few dissenters. Everywhere else people are just enjoying the show where the little guys, for once, are clowning the elites. It's beautiful

Explain why a clear/overwhelming majority of the Uber-wealthy spent a ton of money and threw the power of their businesses behind the effort to elect Biden. You seem to be arguing these folks are stupid enough to invest so much in a political party “whose only real goal” is to take their wealth away.

So you’re arguing true liberals are retarded and don’t realize they’re voting to favor the Uber-wealthy over the working class/middle America?

The DC dems dont seem to be taking sides as much as they are just using it as an excuse to regulate everything into a pile of ash.
