Do you think Gamestop is going down the toilet to bankruptcy?
Vote
It briefly rallied 20% today at the opening but then slid right back to 90 at the end of the day as small traders who already cut their losses, Wednesday's rally came too little, too late. Dave Portnoy, the Barstool sports founder and amateur day trader already revealed he lost 700,000 30 y/o Tigran Avestisian, a chemical engineer was down 10,000 on a 40,000 investment in GAmestop but HELD onto his shares hoping for another rally He said "for a little while, it was just free money for everybody. But part of the stock market is knowing when to get out" He was up to 80,000 at one point and still hopes to eke out a gain Others on WallStreetBes where the campaign to buy up Gamestop shares to punish hedge funds also vowed to stay on despite punishing losses Youtuber, Keith Gil, aka Roaring Kitty who is viewed as the leader of the movement posted a screenshot showing 13 million in losses but is sitll up 7.6 million on his bet which is more than what he made a year ago. For those who got in late, the losses were massive..one user who goes by the name "Silk" lost a massive 850,000 when he bought 1.1 million in options which are buy and sell stock before the crash wiped out his entire investment and now he says his business is RUINED. The 52 y/o said it wiped out his family's event planing business and will have to lay off his whole staff.. He said "I'm going to be honest with you, i have not slept in 3 days so i haven't really thought about it properly. I just want my money back but i k now it's gone. I didn't spend enough time to research what i was doing or what the market could do to my account so quickly." Others said "Starting to think i might actually lose everything. At this point it's all or nothing, probably threw a little more than i should have at this, but i've enjoyed it. THIS IS ENDGAME. What else is left to do but hold? holding all this time to sell now would be foolish" Many are showing screenshots brockerage acounts showing huge lossses as others said "it's only a loss if you sell" Gamestop hired Matt Graces on the newly creaed role of Chief Technology Officer, giving investors hope of a digial pivot to the struggling gaming chain Janet Yellen is now calling a meeting with top financial regulators this week to discuss market volatility driven by this as she will convene the heads of the SEC and Federal Reserve to discuss what to do next Do you think Gamestop is going down the toilet? https://i.imgur.com/4DA7EP7.jpg https://i.imgur.com/xBftIn7.jpg https://i.imgur.com/1xGXdI0.jpg https://i.imgur.com/UMDfd2x.jpg https://i.imgur.com/3HitAUW.jpg https://i.imgur.com/yWTiLl4.jpg https://i.imgur.com/ncAKEsB.jpg --- The News Will Continue...For Now call me mrduckbear, sweater monkeys.

"it's only a loss if you sell" I know people like to say the stock market is gambling - and it is, insofar as a big part of it is managing risk - but stock prices arent actually that arbitrary Gamestop was valued $10-20 based on its fundamentals. There is no reason for it to be >$100 without a massive change to the business.

It's sad, people are new to this and didn't understand the concept that this was a short-lived ponzi scheme and have now lost everything. It wasn't a ponzi scheme, it was a communal effort to call bullshit on hedgefunds shorting a stock to 140%-that's more shares than even exists! It was illegal. The trading apps ALL keeping people from buying Gamestop stock is the reason this completely collapsed; it had nothing to do with there not being demand in the market and there needs to be a serious investigation. It gave hedge funds, who already have a slew of extra privileges like trading after market, free reign to completely rig the stock against retail investors who made the right call.

The reason for RH shutting down GME buys has been well documented. RH isnt entirely above reproach, but not for any sort of collusion with hedge funds - its shutdown was a result of abiding by regulations meant to minimize risk/market instability WSB needs to be investigating for market manipulation though.

WSB needs to be investigating for market manipulation though. You really cant announce "if we can pump the price of gme to x then we force a short squeeze" and think thats okay More than anything, I really think that this should just be a learning opportunity for the hedge funds that shorted to that extent. Regulations shouldnt be necessary in this case... just dont short a company to beyond 100% (or anywhere close to that). They left themselves exposed, just like the people who decided that buying at 400+ was a good idea. --- Live action Hungry Hungry Hippos though, now that was a sport. ~Aeon Azuran ...

RH shut down originally because they didn't have the capital to cover all of the buys; they were too exposed. They allowed institutional investors to trade while it was shutdown. And they sold people's shares without their permission. WTF are you guys talking about? The media was in on this because they allowed airtime multiple opinions and takes from institutional investors and not a single retail investor was interviewed at the time, they certainly didn't acknowledge how ridiculous it was in the first place that hedgefunds were allowed to short more GME shares than GME shares that exist. And we all saw the brazenly corrupt things Robinhood did. Anyone who is defending Robinhood is either blind as a bat or paid off. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

It was greed. I think many got in not understanding what they were getting into. I dont think many understood that the squeeze had an end date and you really had to get out by last Friday. I mean the 52 year old moron bought options, totally betting that the price would increase. An option has no underlying value. If he had bought actual stock, it would still be a loss but it would be less because he could still sell the stock. --- AC - Violet on Penny. (N), Rose on Sapphire (S) ... Copied to Clipboard!
