He wasn't' so much heading it as a mascot. He did the research and found the info and the idiots ran crazy with it.

Yea, people claiming he was a ringleader are looking for a scapegoat. Pretty sure as of Tuesday he didn't even cash out and the stock was already dropping.
If he had engineered a pump and dump as they claim, he would have got out around $300.

Find bigfoot. Seduce her.

Did it happen? Black rock and other firms made billions holding GME.

Yes it literally happened. Did you not watch the news last week?
One guy said it wasn't fair that people got stimulus checks to buy stocks with.

lilORANG posted...

No lol. The guy heading the charge works for a financial institution and knows how this shit works.

Who are you referring to? DFV?

If it was not, then why did the intended effect actually happen?
Certain hedges lost billions and several billionaires went on the news literally crying tears. The news also spread misinformation like that Wall Street Bets was buying silver when there was no posts about silver in the sub.

Literally a Lord in a country that is not supposed to have Lords.

The folks shorting were losing badly. There were other rich people/groups who had not shorted who were able to take advantage of this.

Perhaps but were the others who took advantage seen as such bad guys compared to those shorting?

What was up with those billionaires whining? One dude said the rich were being targetted. They were in true meltdown mode.

I read someone saying Wall Steet Bets scammed people and pumped it up. Let's assume that is true.
Then, wtf was up with those billionaires? Paid by Wall Street Bets mods?

This is kinda a weird moment where many people forgot all about the events of last week and just assume this is some ponzi scheme or always a bubble ready to pop.
Sure, it was a bubble, but let us not forget it wasn't just a bubble.

Most depressing final episode of any series ever. :(

Spoil for me plz

Market is too sexy. I try to pull out but man.

The twist is he was Bruce Wayne the whole time and that is how he saw the events of The Dark Knight.

TDK as a movie is from outside of Batman's brain.

Didn't theu also say the $2000 checks was not enough and blamed the GOP.

So then give us $2600 and more later.

Is there an exit strategy or this simply a hold until it reaches an all time high? I know that's impossible to predict but from what I've been reading this could go on for days or even weeks.

In any event I'm holding though I want to move away from RH

Not really but once Melvin capital goes under and the shorting stops, many may exit.

Or they may not.

Says GME go brrrrr

@Tyranthraxus posted...

Lots of news sites are suggesting Melvin Capital will file bankruptcy this week. No clue what happens to the shorts at this point.

And yet Wednesday they claimed this:

We have closed out our position in GME (GameStop)," the spokesman said in a statement. The spokesman also said that the firm, once among Wall Street's best performers, is not collapsing. "The social media posts about Melvin Capital going bankrupt are categorically false," he said

Physical Gaming will never really die out. Otherwise people will see how authoritarian companies can be when you no longer own any of your games.

Ps6 comes out.

Sony: oh, you thought you could transfer all your games from ps5? Hahahha

They could sell game osts for msrp.

Those are often things you have to import from japan and stuff like that.

Maybe a section with artbooks.

Idk, tbh you can buy those things on amazon too but having it all one place might be nice.

Maybe sell some food while you browse lol.

Have a place you can play tabletop games at.

MabusIncarnate posted...

Yeah this is temporary, physical gaming is dying, and a lot people won't forget their complete shit practices, pushy sales associates, terrible used game trade in system and treatment of their employees. Their only real savior right now is Microsofts involvement, and even then, I don't see them sustaining into the future unless they start going in a different direction.

Is it dying?

We all thought records died in the 80s and yet now companies make vinyls just to make them because people want them.

You can buy a vinyl of the FF7 remake ost.
This exists despite spotify and all that.

Uses games will be the currency.

I will trade you 50 copies of shenmue 3 for a mcdonalds value meal.

They could just...

Buy alot of copies of niche games and hold them sealed and sell them later when they are harder to find.

Or do something cool like instead of partnering with companies to make shitty dlc, partner with then and make an unofficial manual for games that don'r have one and the nostalgia people wpuld buy their games from them for that.

Problem is that ebay and amazon have better prices for used niche games and that is gamestops forte that walmart, best buy and such doesn't have.

So why doesn't he just raise it for all his employees?
No law stopping him.

Well then you are lost!

Tyranthraxus posted...

But actually Yes.

They made people sell tesla? Got a link?

Isn't the clearinghouse argument saying they ran out of money to clear these buys?

Yet gamestop stocks aren't the most expensive stock.
They still let people buy tesla which was $400 more and even was losing value.

Did they make people who bought a share of tesla on margin sell it?

No.

Ah yes. Why would stepping on that sexual threshold have any impact on decisions made around sex. I wonder...

So you think age of consent should be after puberty starts then.

The average age for girls to begin puberty is 11, while for boys the average age is 12. But it's different for everyone, so don't worry if your child reaches puberty before or after their friends. It's completely normal for puberty to begin at any point from the ages of 8 to 14. The process can take up to 4 years.

Then me asking why 12 makes a difference to you is an even more important question seeing your weird view on age of consent here.

Apparently some people can reach it by age 8.

You said it was consensual. I quoted you in post 121.

Perhaps now you are realizing your error.

The argument has been proposed by other posters that because he is dying, whatever trauma he suffers from having NON-CONSENSUAL sex is so temporary that we can ignore it.

So the question I put forth is why trauma via torture would be any different?
And before you answer "because he asked for it" again, the whole point of minors cannot consent means they don't understand how it will effect themselves mentally.
And that said trauma taking years to develop is also a weird take some users have made.

spikethedevil posted...

You still compared consensual sex

Stop calling sex with underage kids consensual.

The_Korey posted...

Seeing as puberty is around 13, no.

But according to your logic what is most important is if the person wants it.
Not whether they can consent as deemed by society.

So why does puberty all the sudden change things for you?

@The_Korey posted...

Oh because the law determines what people actually want, right? Dude spends 2 years yearning for sex, but because some kourts insist his own feelings don't matter, he's on the same traumatic level as a woman brutally assaulted in a dark ally. Great take.

So if he was 10 and waited 2 years you would be ok with a 12 year old in this situation?

spikethedevil posted...

You answer first.

Post above I said minors cannot consent.

I doubled posted.

spikethedevil posted...

To play devils advocate a bit the age of consent in a fair bit of Europe is 15 though yes it is 17 in AUS.

The point is, if you think it is ok to break a rule about a cutoff age, then why apply another cutoff age?

So the government says kids under 17 can't consent.

You (not you but the people in this) say, nah a 15 year old can, so we break the rule cause he is dying.

So what age is it not ok? 12? 10? 9?

spikethedevil posted...

The f***? Where in this post do you mention rape?

A minor cannot consent.

So maybe age 15 is the issue you guys are having understanding this.

So what if this happened when he was 12.

You still think an exception is ok?

Someone should meme his face on

Star wars episode 8 spoilers
When he told all the atat to fire on Luke and Luke didn't die and he had a freak out.

Lmao

The_Korey posted...

Komparing literal torture to sex. One is enjoyed with a possibility of backfiring with time, while the other is traumatic from start to finish and beyond. Try again.

No I am comparing it to rape.
Trauma from rape is something you call enjoyed with a possibility of backfiring?

Not a good take.

VipaGTS posted...

If hes on his death bed then the psychological damage wont matter as much..since he wont be around to deal with it or subject others to it.

Then it wouldn't matter if you tortured him right? Like waterboarded him etc.

Because all the trauma is so temporary.

Lost_All_Senses posted...

Murdering someone isn't consensual....how do you not see the difference?

Minors can't consent though.

If anyone lost money on doge, just hold it.

It will spike again because it is a meme.

Next spike, sell and get your money back or a little profit.

Like, the doge guys will always be trying to make it spike, you just gotta wait.

It always goes back down though.

The more I look into it, the more it seems like Robin Hood is just way over their head, they decided to make their own clearing house (like Charles Schwab and the big platforms) instead of using a 3rd party clearing house. We Bull and everyone else was able to come back so quick because they use a reputable 3rd party CH to back their trades.

I wonder how quick the mass exodus from RH can happen to other platforms, hopefully early next week. RH might be dead in the water unless they get a massive influx in capital ($1 bil raised yesterday didn't do shit for them) or the meme stock trend dies out.

If that was the case, why couldn't CEO just say this?

Instead he was all over the place. So this makes me think this is not actually why the are limiting.

apocalyptic_4 posted...

I'm going back into AMC and GME on Monday if they fully lift the restrictions if not I'm out.

Not enough volume to bring these up especially AMC with these BS restrictions.

They want you to be out though.That is why they restricted it. Gotta hold!

It also saved the pre-order and giving people 50 cents for old games industry.

Thank goodness.

Btw timestamp is at 3 mins where Chris Cuomo explains that it is the New York Stock exchange who controls such limits.

They are flooded with customers going into stores asking the pre-order GME.

COVxy posted...

Brokerages regularly restrict volatile stocks, as far as I understand it. Are you guys saying that AMC was the first ever stock that Robinhood restricted?

Do they? Or does the New York stock exchange do that?

Actually Chris Cuomo answers that question here I believe.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6fs_lyGn4YA

Basically, Robinhood shouldn't be limiting the stock until the New York Stock exchange says they suspect foul play or the like in the company the stock is of.

ScazarMeltex posted...

It might save them there, but it won't save them from people moving to other apps.

I don't think they care about their company going out of business as much as they do appeased the Hedge.

But in terms of this, if Congress finds clear evidence of manipulation, it could be actual jail time. So they gotta try to muddy the water with grey areas as much as possible.

Hexenherz posted...

i can see your point but this sounds like a really fucking dumb strategy lol

I mean, what else do they have?
They SEC sided with retailer investors today:
https://www.cnbc.com/2021/01/29/sec-reviewing-recent-trading-volatility-amid-gamestop-frenzy-vows-to-protect-retail-investors.html
"The SEC vowed to to protect traders and promised to scrutinize actions taken by brokerages that may unduly inhibit their ability to trade certain securities.

It is non-action but at the very least it was more than silence.

And congress is going to ask RobinHood, "why exactly did you limit GME?"

They will say "the stock is volatile, we had to protect our customers!"

Then congress will say "but this other stock is volatile and was never limited."

Now they have nothing to say.
Except that they can say "that may have BEEN the case, but we updated our policy and now limit all stock like that such as AMD"
