Executives tend to trade stock through pre-set plans in order to avoid any appearance they might have traded on insider information, which is illegal. But notes on the trades in recent filings the executives submitted to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission do not state that the recent stock sales at both BlackBerry and GameStop took place through these so-called 10b5-1 plans. That suggests none of the trades had been scheduled in advance.

Don't fall for the misinformation campaign they're putting on. They're trying to break apart the army of monkeys. Together we're strong. Stay the course.

Why are they the bad guys? Just because they live in suburban McMansions and have everything you also want?

The rich always get richer that's unavoidable. The goal isn't to destroy the rich it's to fuck over greedy hedges that were trying to destroy GameStop.

These are the same fucks that killed TRU and others. Fuck them and fuck their hedge funds. Fuck them making money off driving other companies out of business. Fuck them selling shorts then having asshole pundits go on bloomberg and cnbc to spit lies about the company they just shorted. Fuck everything about them.

Fuck over the people committing evil by committing the same evil!

That's not now shorting works.

By driving up the price, you're putting the hedges into a situation where they have to either lose a shitload of money, or go bankrupt.

I've been saying this was stupid since day one. All they're doing is taking the wealth from one rich guy and giving to another.

Naturally there would be some parasites that profit off of this, that was a sure thing to happen, however as it stands, this is accomplishing exactly what they're going for.

Honestly the people trying to say this is all bad because a few corpos made money off of this are using the same logic conservatives do when they equate the few rioters during BLM protests to discount the entire movement.

I'm not saying that, I'm just saying it's stupid to assume you're making rich people hurt for this.

There's no need to assume anything. We already know 19 billion in hedge funds have been destroyed and Melvin Capital needed a bailout. Robinhood will probably tank after this as well.

Ken Griffin will probably be okay as well as all the fucks at the DTCC but rich people are paying the price, factually so.

Anyone saying I knew this wasnt gonna work has no understanding of what the point was. It wasnt meant to destroy all rich people. It was meant to say fuck you to specific shorter sellers. GME short sellers have already lost over $20 billion according to CNBC.

Plus its re-opening dialogue about Wall Street corruption and income inequality. Thats a win/win/win
