This cuck can get bent.
What we're seeing is individual investors push back.

You honestly believe this?
The LOLs are just a fringe benefit to seize on a money making opportunity.
Believe me, if the GameStop boys were on the other side and that side was making money they would be all in. The only principle that matters is making money.
I believe it isn't all about the money for the people at the very core of this situation. For many people who jumped in later, sure, it was about the money.

It's not. Read some of their forums (while they're still available). This is all about sending a message and bleeding these hedgers to the bone.

Same thing in the Sportbetting world, especially former eras of softer lines. You go up high enough in the Bookmakers & Wiseguys food chain, and bet with very high discipline, you aren't gambling very much longterm.
The info that the Walters, Baxter, Spiro, Skip, Chip, Tomchin, Cigar Sacco,etc..and guys sitting in the best offices in the world like CRIS, Grande, Bookmakercom, guys running the below radar reduced juice webpages and credit outs, also best Vegas joints like Westgate, Caesar, Wynn, Circa,etc..
Everyone likes to bet, even owners, players,etc..and/or their brothers, uncles, family, highly educated hunches and insider tidbits want to have some action. Those moves make their way and waves into the system.
The Whales and Wiseguys know where to find a high probability play or two a day, even on limited cards. In the industry when given a best bet winner from an elite sharp for the day's card..
It's called "one for your pocket"

So a HF:
targets a vulnerable company
shorts their stock
send their minions "aka analysts" on the Financial Shows like CNBC and Fox Business to "analyze" the vulnerable company that they have "concerns" about
stock falls due to negative coverage
HFs cash in their shorts
The company is left in ruins
rinse and repeat
I dont feel one ounce of compassion for these HFs

The part where he says the GameStop people are in it for the LOLs. Not true. They are in it to make money. They recognized that the hedge funds had short positions that were WAY over leveraged and with only a little bit of buying pressure they knew they could squeeze them.
That is not LOLs. That's recognizing a financial opportunity.
The gamestoppers only "make" money when they sell. Which leads me to believe that a decent percentage wont "make" anything.
If the people driving up the value dont realize that some of there brothers will actually be losing money during this process, then there will be an education in the stock market coming.
It isnt about making money (imo) as kt is about punishing hedge funds who try and pick and choose losers and profit from their heavy hands.

The book of Casino talks about some of this.
In it, Lefty Rosenthal is asked by Tony The Ant Spilotro for what basketball games to bet on that weekend and keeps getting “no comment” in response.
Spilotro finally hands him the whole list of games and Lefty makes two check marks.
When asked about it, Lefty mentions how much is being bet and implies that he is making the bets for Spilotro’s bosses in the Chicago mob.
Lefty continuing to make money for them is part of why he never got killed unlike a lot of other potential liabilities.

Hence why I keep comparing them to 1980s corporate raiders and 1860s robber barons.

you Shapircuck

I think Shapiro is being a little naive. Which is out of character.

Can ben shapiro just stfu already?

So, according to Ben,
Hedge fund managers aren't gambling because they're sophisticated.
Guy sitting in his basement investing in a stock, using the same information the hedge fund guy has, or less, is gambling.
People ultimately are doing this to make money. That this is also a comical situation isn't sufficient to make Ben's arguments valid, lol.
Does he think hedge fund managers never laugh about making money?

I get that, but in this case, shorting 130% of the outstanding shares of a company is a bit extreme, lol.
People saw an opportunity. Is it only okay for hedge fund managers to make money or teach everyone else a lesson?
I did it to make money. And I did. That was the sole purpose. And the fact that it was a little more comically satisfying to make this money than it is for any other investment I own doesn't change my motivation.

The hedge fund took a risk, lol. Obviously they weren't in full control or this wouldn't be a discussion topic.

So you have already sold all of your shares.

Yes. Bought and sold twice today, and I think I'll stop with GME while I'm ahead, lol.
