Trading the stockmarket (NO Referrals)

I will admit having learnt much more about the situation the last few days it is tempting to buy a share just to have technically been part of what could be looked back on as an important moment
 
What are peoples thoughts on this with the infinite loss theory? I know everyman has his price, but if enough refuse to sell, it goes north of $5k a share and consequently the hedge funds can't afford it and go under, it then falls to the banks that originally loaned the shares to meet the shortfall, but if they can't, then what? Is that when the US government intervenes and says right lads, not happening, needs of the many outweigh you greedy lot and stops it all?

In at $40 before all this majorly kicked off, already withdrew double my original investment so the tendies are safe and have left the remaining I have in there knowing either way I've won.

However I'm now thinking it may be wise to start offloading bit by bit while still in a huge profit than wait for potentially life changing money only to get shafted by an external force.

Either way this has been fascinating to watch.

The issue at the moment is that float of money in the middle. Already the brokers are having to float the capital between the losses and the gains and they only have a few billion of that, which is why they are scared to let trades continue as it'll wipe out all their money in the middle, and the funds won't be able to cover their debt.

And if it does transpire they did and it's proven, is that a better outcome for them while bringing the stock price crashing down, over having a price that is mooning

Yea, if they get a 100m fine even, it'd be less damage than the billions wiped out. Risk balance for them at the moment.
 
Is there anywhere that shows the level of shorts by date.

I read an article that GME was 100% shorted, interested to see where it’s at now.

TBH I think this is a really good case, shorts should be allowed for the purpose of hedging positions only. Not in this case where the shorters are getting shafted.

So something like a company bond holder shorting x% of the shares in the company they loaned to, to help protect their capital investment in the bond is fine. 100% of a company is wrong imo. It’s no longer investing, it’s taking an educated gamble.

Do you not think that this is done by institutional investors as well? It's just not public like on reddit haha

True. The professionals do their collusion and market manipulation in East End pub drinking sessions face-to-face where the regulators will never be any the wiser. Or at least, they know it happens, but unless they're idiots and do it where there's a potentially a record (i.e. on Whatsapp).....there's nothing they can do about it.

WSB is an interesting one though. It's brazen market manipulation....and now it's hit mainstream, they'll have to do something about it. Otherwise we'll be in an endless cycle of boosting....

Juicy.


Also, since the fed are buying up corp bonds, you think there is a chance this could have an affect on them?

Seems like it would be less dodgy to simply suspend the entire ticker (i.e. no GME trades at all) than to block it in one direction only...

I read it as normal guys were blocked but traders could still trade, so when the buy option was removed from joe public, the price tanked, the traders then picked up those shares, so when it goes back up, they make money back against their initial shorts...

Rigged system much?
