Billions - Season 4 (March 17th 2019/Official Thread)

[humminbird]

The next two seasons of Billions brought to you by GameStop. We know what the next theme will be - Axe Capital tries to short “insert fictitious financially fledging gamer company here” only to get gamed. I’m calling it now. (Melvin Capital, Robinhood, brokerage firm, hedge fund, billionaire v random group of unknown small investors v media v SEC, FBI storyline)

I hope so
my only fear is they'll make axe too smart and act like he had a bunch of shares the whole time or something

Like they’re trying to do now with Melvin Capital -“oh we’re fine, nothing to see here, we have enough funding to cover our positions”

Hedge fund Melvin Capital closes out GameStop short: CNBC

I’m picturing an Elon Musk like character with another cameo appearance by Mark Cuban; Axe losing his shyt for a 7 day period - Wags and a few henchman are involved in a murder plot to take out the “wallstreetbets” - come to find out that group was actually backed by Taylor and former DA, Bryan Connerty but then again Bryan is too stupid to come up with a plan like that

yeah that's good
Also, that bald guy could take the side of the wallstreetbetters in the public while making money just like that hedge fund that made 700 million or that indian guy

I have no confidence that the writers of this show even understand this Gamestop situation. They'll just use it as an excuse to show off how "smart" and "cool" axe is.

I'm sure that's exactly what they will do.

 

[jay211]

That Game Stop storyline is definitely going to be infused in a future season

 

[3rdLetter]

Didn't they do a short squeeze on a company in one of the seasons? I think it had to do with Chuck's pops IIRC.

which bald guy though??its been so long since they had an episode - I’m disconnected from the seasons.

I will die laughing if we see this storyline play out on future episodes, they better give us our 10% too

And that Juice Company - when they poisoned the drinks in the juice bar and everybody became sick. Chuck deliberately bet against his own brother’s company and deported the Mexican lady for participating in the plot.

I hope not - there is no reason for them to mess that GameStop plot up. It’s not that complicated unless they overly inflate the storyline for dramatic purposes. The script is basically written for them. All they need to do is use Marketwatch for reference. Retail investors bet high, hedge funds deliberately undervalued what they thought was a fledgling company with a struggling market value. Retail investors watching the research and profitability saw new product development which raised the value of Gamestop. Hedge funders overestimated the demand for digital games. Bought stock at a loss when in reality they didn’t account for the upward trend.
The KISS method (keep it simple stupid) - there’s no need to include the predictive analysts either or the work that Taylor does. Basically just show how the average person no MBA. was able to watch the emerging market and product development to predict the potential value Of a company.

Retail Investors + GameStop >>> Hedge Fund + Wall Street.

The outliers:
(Robin Hood hit the - wtf, no can’t cover all of these ”

Melvin Capital -Sell, no Close out!!! No wait- sell!! Why is the price rising - make it stop!!!! This wasn’t supposed to happen- close out!! we lost billions in one day -


in comes the billionaires with bail outs making the govt look like a bytch: “Senator err Representative Dumass - you better get your ass on CNBC and Finance Global TV to downplay this or else I’m removing that 25k, bri... uhh I mean contribution that I’ve been delivering to you to represent my interests, SEC - y’all better find a legal loophole or, there is no OR, just do it”


That it’s - that’s all they need to do. The average person or audience is not going to know the intricacies of a short sale as far as the numerical value so they don’t need to do a deep dive. Focus on the corruption and retail investors.

Oh yeahhhhh and lol at the article- the stock that keeps on giving. “Fed up “ lmao

I was thinking Billions was as running dry and this was the last season but we might be back for 2-3 more seasons y’all

On Wednesday and Thursday, Mr Koppelman fielded numerous inquiries regarding the inclusion of a "Reddit manipulates the market" plotline in a future episode of the show. His responses were nothing if not exasperated.

"Ya don't say," he replied to one user pitching the story. To another questioning if he was furiously reworking next season's scripts to account for the GameStop story, Mr Koppelman wrote "Imagine."


It's after midnight. And I can't do this another day. BUT. Thanks for the idea. Will give me something to dream about tonight," he wrote.


Mr Koppelman may have been done with the bit, but the bit was not done with him.

You KNOW that their take is that it was all an elaborate plot by some super genius.
The show has a need to show the audience that the the minds of people like Taylor and Axe work on a level that we could never understand. They're always 10 steps ahead of everyone.

Actual "chaos" doesn't exist in the Billions universe, there's going to be a mastermind behind everything.
