Stupid question brehs.

I'm guessing it's too late now to get in one GameStop, AMC, Blackbery, etc. But is it possible that an opportunity like this can happen again? Are regular people with knowledge (like the cats on here) going to find more companies with massive bets placed against them?

:lupe:
This is unlikely to happen again. Expect regulations shortly to block it. No it's not too late to get in on GME just don't risk money you can't afford to lose. As the days go on the situation becomes more and more unstable. Chances are the share price continues to rise before it falls because it sounds like the hedge funds doubled down. We don't know how much runway is left.

It's insane they're talking about regulation only when they're the ones that start losing out.

Just to put it out there. I personally only me,just me,and I’m not a financial advisor or anyone who works in finance. I think that this is the perfect time to buy some of these companies that are dipping I was able to score another share of TSLA and 10 shares of apple due to their prices dropping. And it’s others I will hop on next week. These are stocks I know will bounce back eventually and I would rather strengthen my positions than chase after the next GME...

but don’t get me wrong I did invest a little bit in amc but it was a really small amount $400 which if it went down to $200 I’ll just be eating it.

I’m also not one of these big money guys that are on here :russ: no 6 certs for me just an Enlisted Service member.

No clue of a definite timeline they have no choice but to continue the manipulation to avoid the disaster scenario that @winb83 pointed out. They cant fully open the gates.

This pod dropped a lot of info with debate on the issue from both sides.


I wish I could see Chamath's full 30 minute CNBC interview. It seems like the only place to find it right now is if you pay for a subscription on the CNBC website. I can only find the 2 minute clip.

Tesla was down 5%, so I had a bad day. Not concerned with that at all. Am concerned with gme situation. I want retail to win and hurt hedge funds but wiping some out completely could have bad ripple effects.

Better regulation is needed.

I wouldn't worry about TSLA goin down 5%

Id like to look at that as a buying opportunity

You're right, and I think regular stocks will continue to dip until this is sorted out. You might be able to buy in for even lower this week or the next or the next

This.

Unfortunately, my uneducated opinion is that the only way to avoid this from happening again would be to increase the margin requirements which means a decrease in leverage for everyday traders like you and me.

On a related note, WeBull (who is in direct competition w/ RobinHood) has a good explanation of why they were limiting trades to GME/AMC. It wasn't some conspiracy theory like what has been floating around the last few days:

I posted this yesterday and someone in here called it bullshyt.
