Redditors gave Wall Street traders an absolute pasting

Aye it's certainly really interesting to watch like.
Mental how he bought £53k of shares and he has about £200m quid now 🙈🙈😂😂
Yeah, that's a good question - where exactly did two hundred million dollars come from?
Its a bit dodgey, unless he really does see what's going on, and he's been playing the options game from both sides for the last 2 years.

I mean he did buy in originally really really low and increased his holding from memory.
Seems to be in a good place with these options but that's just with me reading up a bit, I'm not clever enough to understand them fully at all like some are on here.
Tbf to him he could have sold up ages ago and lived the life of a very rich man but he doesn't seem interested in selling.
Jeez £586 million after today's movements.

Its now up to $50 in after hours trading, which is $200 pre split.

And Keith has confirmed he hasn't traded a single share today, so this is all everyone else's response to, well, whatever they are responding to. Possibly the option to buy 120 MILLION shares at $20, and they might have erm, forgot to hedge those calls. LOL

IIRC, the free float is about 80m shares left that are not already DRS'd, - so good luck locating 120 million LMAO
 
hahaha
One of the same people who lost a fortune shorting GameStop the first time around announced they had taken a new short position in the very same stock last week.
Since then the stock is up about 250% :lol:
Surely you aren't this naive?
The market is being manipulated and it's the small investors who will lose out. All jumping in like lemmings because they think they are 'beating the man'.
You might strike lucky, you might not, but make no mistake it is the rich who will be getting richer from this.

I don't think retail are heavily involved in the current volume.
Something else is going on.
You see "the market is being manipulated", YES YES they are, this is so very clear. Market Makers that are ALSO Hedge Funds where they operate in both areas at the same time - that's just wide open to abuse.
Then there's all the hidden naked shorts that are packaged and sold off as swaps* so that they all disappear into thin air.

*plus the "mega" swaps that last 3 years which all expired the other week, which was the cause of the recent leap in trading.

Its hugely complex, and there's no way anyone in retail understands more than a small amount of the reality.

FWIW, Price now up to $61 in early trading.
.
And GME released their Q1 financials head of market opening. Revenue down a fair chunk compared to Q1 2034, but margin has improved from $-50m to $-32m. Its profitably annually, but not in Q1, so reducing the losses for a 2nd year in a row in this quarter is really good news overall.

Of course, the stock price has dropped from $60 to $40 on this news. 8m shares traded.
It'll be all those retail investors dumping their shares right?

Oh wait, no. Market isn't open, so retail have no access to trade! Just like the run in after hours from 40 to 60 last night can't have been retail either. None of this volatility is retail shareholders, it never was. Its always been the institutions scrambling to cover their arses and/or shorting the shit out of the stock.

Funny, this financial news was already officially released as "estimates" a few weeks back - and these results are pretty much exactly the same. So why is it causing the price to change? Its almost like there's dodgey shit going on eh?
.
Ok, how much shit can go on in one day, all before trading even opens?
GME have announced a further 75m shares to be sold at the market. On top of the 45m it sold the other week.

That's a huge dilution, but still might not cover all the shorts. There's some crazy plays going on here.
But they'll have raised $5bn in cash if they sell those at $45 per share today. Which is just immense for a company that was "deffo going bust, let's short it to death" 3 years ago. Profitable and swimming in cash lol

Priced down to 27. We have to wait 3 Yr to get money back....

Crazy day - Last 2 times they've done an offering at the market, they've done it immediately after the notice was posted, so its quite likely they are selling 75m shares right now.
If it finishes above $20, the fight is still on.

Quite disappointing to not see telephone numbers, though.

They are pinning hopes on AI. Better off plowing in to anglo American or broadcom

I've lost a bit on those one. Cut losses after nvda split next week. Overall my investments are up after coining in the cannabis. Flogged all that now.

Broadcom? They're utter twats and losing their customers hand over fist.

GME could have $4bn in cash in the bank by the end of today, no debt and still potentially over 100% of the float shorted. Still loads of upside, just a matter of "when".
The board own tons of shares personally, RC owns about 25% iirc - so any decisions to dilute must be for a very good reason, otherwise they've just cost themselves an absolute fortune - pretty sure they're not that stupid.

Exxon are that's doesn't mean they won't make a good profit. Exxon Guyana.

Remember I said a group had taken a 2nd short position in GME, after losing their shirt the first time around? Well, turns out that since taking this 2nd try, they've been doing exactly what you said:

Broadcom bought out my VMWare shares with a mixture of cash and stock which more than doubled their worth. I used the cash to buy the vested shares in my current company and the Broadcom share price has gone from around $500 at the time of the initial offer to $1400 so I won’t have a bad word said about them :lol:

Haha, they've certainly extracted shareholder value.
Everyone utterly hates them now though.
 
Up to $1700 in after hours trading after announcing growth figures for their AI chips and an upcoming 10 for 1 split to make the shares more affordable. :eek:
Suppose I should have known - being utter bastards and extracting short term profit *is* what the stock market likes.

GME is getting more and more interesting. Or at least it would be if I understand what the fuck everyone is talking about with gamma options :lol:
