How many shares y'all got?
I'm in the hundreds. Put a decent chunk of my portfolio there but definitely won't ever take just one position.

I am fairly confident this thing will jump. Problem is, when? How long will this take?

Hopefully soon. I don't see RK coming back for shyts and gigs. You don't walk away from a billion for nothing. And he's much better at this than any of us.

I think it'll jump too and it doesn't matter how long it takes because it'll be way before I retire.:manny:

If it does what it's supposed to, you're right. I'll have retirement money and give no fukk money.

As someone who's regularly trading i always have that devils advocate in my mind though. Because no stock acts like or has the expectations of gme.

Other stocks you get in and get out of or swing, but never marry a stock. So I have to fight my instincts on this trade quite a bit.

How much will it “jump” is the question lol

read up on the VW short squeeze and realize that VW is the one that stopped it. retail investors don't have to be reasonable at all to prevent major market players from going bankrupt.



German financial-services regulator BaFin (Federal Financial Supervisory Authority) announced on the same day that it was examining the VW stock-price activity for evidence of insider trading or market manipulation. Porsche issued a blanket denial of the latter. “We vehemently reject the accusation of share price manipulation,” a Porsche spokesman stated. “The ones responsible are those that speculated with huge sums of money on a falling Volkswagen share price.”


That said, the following day saw Porsche unload around 5 percent of its VW holdings to the suffering short sellers. Nonetheless, much of the damage had been done. After VW’s share-price peak on the 28th, its stock plunged by 58 percent in just four days as the short squeeze loosened to some degree; a month later, it was down by 70 percent from its peak. But it did not prevent painful losses from being incurred by those short sellers who ended up having to close out their positions at stratospheric price levels.


“Someone must have been very desperate to get a hold of the stock, so there will be a big surprise at some point who will have all these losses—because someone must have lost a lot of money,” Christian Schick, head of portfolio management in Germany for Fortis Investments, observed at the time.


Ultimately, those hedge funds that had shorted VW stock ended up losing an estimated $30 billion from their trades. “I have had hedge fund managers literally in tears on the phone,” said one London-based analyst on the 29th, whilst other hedge-fund managers reportedly compared the Porsche disclosure to a “nuclear bomb going off in our faces”, describing the resulting losses as “a bloodbath”.


But Porsche was able to make huge sums of money, which is even more startling given how badly the automotive industry was doing at the time. Reports emerged of angry traders raging at what they perceived to be a Blitzkrieg attack by Porsche on the financial system, seemingly allowed by German regulators, which permitted it to secretly accumulate VW stock options without having to declare its hand.
