Applying logic... I'd say the vast majority of people who experienced GME's situation had no idea what a short squeeze was prior to it happening. That's why you had people referring to it as a pump and dump ignorantly as the price continued to rise.

Now with that context, and with AMC being publicity known as one of the most shorted companies (people were loading up before GME took off), common sense lends me to think that what happened with GME will more than likely benefit AMC holders because they now understand how this works.

We'll see how everything plays out, but money will be made and hopefully those looking from the sidelines for both GME and now AMC take "memes" serious in the future and not miss out on an opportunity.
shyt I am. Then again I am starting to invest overall

The shares I bought of Apple from 2019 are up about 200% not counting the dividend. It's a better bank account. Invested $3400 and that investment is up $6400. The risk to lose money was minimal. My biggest regret was not buying more back then.

I agree on this. My M1 is just full of steady plays. I honestly kind of use it as a savings account for major purchases but it beats any bank accounts available to me by far. Having apple, JNJ, Altria, Exxon, berkshire, and O realty has been useful.
