People go to prison for both


Only if its through illegal market manipulation. Punishing over-shorted positions is totally legal. It only becomes illegal when you intentionally manipulate the market to cause a short squeeze.

You probably won't find somebody who buys the argument that a short squeeze is artificial when it was shorted 150%.

Dumb af.

Gamestop will be the next chipotle except u can build a pc, they're gonna retail pc games. It has good leadership and the hedge fund parasites wanted to bury it into the ground.
Market manipulation is driving a physical store's value to 0 while they nurse satanic faang shit, which has zero value.


I would advise that you take your schizophrenia medication before the white coats come to take you away

People agreeing to pump up a stock to cause losses to hedge funds seems pretty intentional

Yeah, because it's shorted 150%. If they had shorted 30% and a short squeeze was orchestrated you would have a case.

What the fuck.

1) No one is burying the company. If it makes money it makes money. Shorting the stock has zero real world application on the stock's ability to exist.

2) Gamestop will literally be worthless in 20 years.

shorting devalues the company's stock price, which effects credit rating among other things. lie elsewhere

Shorting actually does affect the stock's ability to exist. If you short a company worth $20 down to $3 then it makes it much harder to raise capital. They could issue shares or directly sell shares to somebody at $20 to raise capital to switch markets. However if their market cap is 1/6th of that it's much harder to secure credit or raise capital. This can create what is basically a death spiral that makes it impossible to bounce back and kills the company.

Robinhood Sheriff of Nottingham wouldn’t let me buy more than 1 share at a time.


lol

this weekend is gonna be tricky. a lot of pent up frustration against backchannel bullshit that will obviously be going on between the feds/regulators/wall street and the brokerages. i can easily see this getting crushed on Monday. Or it goes full crazy again like last Monday.

limiting how many assets individuals can buy is downright un-American. meanwhile hedge funds can borrow things they dont own to perpetuity
