Fine, then Freaking short the Stock!


Why do proponents of the squeeze immediately challenge someone and tell them to short it?

I did have puts on GME and they turned out to be pretty profitable at the time.

At this point, it's simply too volatile for me to be shorting the stock. The stock could temporarily rise in value and I'd be out my money.

You guys do realize he's trolling, right?

Right?

I did the vaccine since it made logical sense to me at the time. I’m not doing the booster, so if I had to take a guess, I’ll be joining “The Unvaccinated” in about 4 months. No, there are still millions of brave Americans. I am and so are many people in this country and this board. I will not comply. frick off fascist.



I mean you've already complied dude. :lol:

Initially scanned through and thought you said he'd sell missile tech for North Korean pussy and thought fair enough, sounds like Bill :lol:

Jesus christ.

Don't do this with any significant amount of money.

As someone who works in the financial industry, it's funny that people are going on about this squeeze when the squeeze has been dead for the past year.

Short interest is nowhere near high enough to cause a squeeze. All the rises and falls are institutional investors moving money in and out. None of this is retail action so it's funny that people make it out to be ordinary people moving the market. Besides, the squeeze isn't going to happen now.

The entire squeeze (up until trading was restricted for retail investors) was hedgefund versus hedgefund, not retail versus hedgefund.

To reiterate, short interest is far too low for a squeeze to take place. There's just no mathematical way and I'm going to be blunt here.


Statistically, this isn't true.

Most people would rather keep their jobs than remain unvaccinated.

Most companies have reported an uptick in vaccination and they've had to fire very few people.

You clowns love moving thr goal posts



I'm the one who moved the goal posts?

I was asked about criticism and now you've shifted the discussion onto level of criticism.

You're the one who's moved the goal posts and are now accusing me of doing so.

:lol:

Woah that's some big time stuff. Really going hard at the guy



We weren't talking about the intensity of criticism but criticism in general.

The question was regarding whether any Democrats have criticized Biden, not whether any Democrats have criticized Biden intensely.
quote:


He blamed Trump in your link numb nuts.


He blamed Trump AND Biden if you read.

He called it Biden's botched withdrawal.
quote:

Do you think the president is the leader of their respective party? Surely you don't think something so asinine.


You realize he is the de facto leader of the party. It doesn't have to be an explicit title but he is the leader in reality.

You can be leader of the country AND your party at the same time.

quote:

It was specifically about the general Democratic leaning public being “accepting” of elected officials within the Democratic Party being critical of Biden


Elected OFFICIALS are people.

The point is about allowing politicians to be critical of their respective leaders.

quote:

I would humbly request that you link any news article wherein an elected Democratic official, at any level of government, is quoted and identified by name as being critical of Biden.

Bob Menendez criticizes Biden's botched withdrawal.

What do you and your wife make each roughly?

I mean doesn't this just demonstrate what we know?

What about hospitalizations? That's the important thing here.

It doesn't matter if it spreads as long as people don't suffer from severe symptoms of it.

The mandate is only in place because the vulnerable people are choosing not to get it and ending up taking beds in hospitals. If the vulnerable had been taking it, I'm not sure anyone would have wanted a mandate.
quote:

Well as a group they certainly seem upset about him. (sarcasm)


Which was not the question.

The question was whether people who criticize Biden should be accepted within the party.

I'm perfectly okay with people criticizing Biden. The guy's made mistakes and I'm not even bothered by people criticizing him on this board. I don't agree with many of the criticisms but I'm not too bothered that people criticize the guy.

I'm not sure I could say that this board is accepting of people criticizing Trump.

quote:


You quite literally have 95%+ of news outlets, sports leagues, hollywood, the music industry, corporate America, social media, etc. 24/7 pounding Trump and his family with mountains of criticism - some of it legit and a large portion of it outright false or outright ridiculous.


That could be it - I think most companies and institutions do lean fairly left-wing so it could cause people to bunker down if they think the criticism is unfair.

Colleges are particularly left-wing -> college students become left-wing -> college-educated people work at those institutions -> those institutions become left-wing.

quote:


Another Propaganda piece. Trump didn't censor social media sites, or shut down questioning, shut down live feeds of his appearances, have the media ignore stories or spin them in his favor.


How are ordinary Democrat voters responsible for any of that?

We're not talking about institutions, we're talking about ordinary voters who lean Democrat.

I think something like a VAT should be part of a scheme, but it can't be all of it.



You can offset much of the regression by simply exempting essentials like food and health products. Therefore, only taxing non-essentials.
quote:

I would rather a flat National sales tax. 12-15% with groceries exempt. I keep my check and pay taxes if I choose to spend it. Also gets rid of allot of irs bloat further reducing gov expenditure. Tyrone the drug dealer is now paying taxes on those sweet rims and skittles paint job. Rich people pay more as they buy more expensive shite.


I'm in favor of a VAT + reduction in federal income taxes and corporation taxes by a significant amount.

Take down the top brackets to 20-25%, get rid of federal income taxes for most tax payers and implement a 10-15% VAT.

quote:

This seems utterly meaningless.


I would argue it's the opposite of meaningless.

It's absolutely meaningful because ordinary voters will be electing Democrat/Republican politicians. Ordinary voters' level of hostility towards candidates who criticize their leaders will determine whether candidates who are vocal cheerleaders or non-loyalists to their leaders will be elected.

I think you're being very disingenuous here.

You and I both know that this data doesn't refer to politicians but to the general public (i.e. ordinary people who identify as Republicans versus Democrats).

So either read the damn statistics or stop trying to argue something else.
