Quoting: Anonymous Coward 75982597 You'll have to go thru a broker. They won't do that. It'll crash the system. There are millions of retail investors just like me with accounts over 25k. Retail investors is exactly who the hedge funds usually make their money off of. Who do you think they borrow their shares from to short stocks? And retail investors are using brokers so I'm not sure what your implying there. Right, but.. Retail trading has added to the infamous "exuberance" of the market. Case in point, this very episode. Totally detached from actual value. The market has become nothing more thsn legalized gambling. It's certainly no longer an win/win situatiin for companies to raise money to put back into operations/expansion and investors to make money. It's a game. A shell game at that. Actually ALL companies are totally detached from their actual value. Emotion beats reason Don't let it be that way |

User ID: 77311748 United States 01/30/2021 08:31 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Yeah, not buying any of this. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 22067365 A group of Redditors just happened to meticulously track GameStop's stock for almost two years (since 2019) and happened to figure out that the stock was shorted up to 140%... and the traders would have to cough up the capital to cover the shorts, if the stock suddenly rocketed up in value? Yeah, that's not even plausible as a fictional TV show. You have to be a seasoned trader to understand one aspect of what I just said... nevermind have the foresight to pull it all off. Again, it's a controlled demolition, pulled off by professional traders...POSING as Redditors. They can't just pull the rug on the stock market, but they are starting to rock it back and forth, until it tips over. But whatever, I'm trying to talk sense to people on fucking GLP... . you kinda sorta have it dead to rights, but missed part of what is going on. you see, this is economic warfare combined with weaponized social engineering. what we're experiencing is a more intricate and sophisticated a leap forward in warfare strategy than the invention of guerrilla warfare. here's how it goes: you remember learning in history that people used to line up on a battlefield like idiots and shoot at each other until enough people on one side or the other were dead. American colonists thought that was stupid, so when they came up against the British during the Revolution, they didn't politely line up on a field. They very rudely ambushed British soldiers from hiding, poisoned them, committed brutal acts of sabotage, etc. And the Brits didn't know how to battle this way because it was unheard of for people to fight in such an uncivilized way. The British actually considered this to be a major violation of human rights and God's laws. Result? We won. People are always trying to redefine the battle, think of a new warfare tactic that's never been used, and find more sophisticated ways to undermine their enemy. It's the art of war. What we are experiencing here is indeed being backed by higher forces, as you say. It's literally a new type of warfare that is being waged by the same illiterate, gap toothed, slack-jawed Powers That Be morans who have been fighting with each other for the past millennia or so. And they're still using us as the pawns in their battles. Look at it this way: if they were going to try to line us all up on a field and have us shoot at each other in ditches, they'd have to pay us a soldier's salary and take care of the widows. It's so damn messy, especially when the fight was really only over money and they had to think up some excuse to get people angry enough to fight over the death because no one would do that over money. With this type of economic warfare combined with weaponized social psychology, not only can they get the soldiers to fight for free, but they're actually paying those slack-jawed Powers That Be for the privilege of fighting their battles for them. It's fucking brilliant. It's so fucking brilliant that there's no way those slack-jawed, idiotic, helpless royals could have thought it up themselves. Nope, this one was game-theoried by AI. We're being pecked to death by a duck. |

Talk about stupid people some more, genius. You believe the NY post, because it said the Billboard cots $18, and you're calling me retarded? Try to rent it yourself and get back to me, smart ass... Yup, I agree... It costs between $1.1 and $4 million a year to buy advertising space in Times Square. In contrast, a Times Square billboard cost for a day can start at $5000 and go up to well over $50,000. Moreover, it can cost up to $3 million per month to advertise on Time Square's largest billboard. According to Investopedia... Last Edited by Soloveno on 01/30/2021 09:04 PM |

Be aware that from knowing about two of them, these seem to be stocks that have fundamental problems. Also, can't you use a more reliable broker than Robinhood? Interactive Brokers is good. I started out with Robinhood but switched to Webull for the extended trading hours and better charts and tools last year. Big reason I switched is because I got in on a stock KODK last year and overnight I was up over 24k profit. I couldn't sell until RH opened and by that time I only got about 11k profit off that trade. I moved on from RH soon after that. I would highly advise anyone using RH to leave and do so quickly. I don't think Robinhood is going to have the funds to cover all those that leave their platform. The sooner you leave Robinhood the better. What they did was shitty. Allowing the stock to still be sold but not bought driving the price down to protect hedge funds. I highly suggest using Webull. But if you do use Webull go to your options and opt out of the stock sharing program. I'm really interested in stocks but I KNOW NOTHING! about stocks... what would you suggest for a beginner @Webull? |
