A democratization of the market, I like it.

[TrvisXXIII]

Good, this event will have more Americans curious and interested in investing

[yodatwinkie]

Hold the lines on GME! Don’t let the suits win

They borrowed MORE SHARES THAN EVEN EXIST. Let's conveniently gloss over how they can borrow more than 1x the total amount that exists of something.

Cached out yesterday. This coming crash is going to be a huge mess !

[christopherdennis]

The recent daily market swings are reminiscent of February. But the hand-wringing about retail traders is a smokescreen. The whales are setting them up as patsys to blame when the market falls.

If a large collective effort to purchase a stock that's heavily shorted and call options on said stock is extremely likely to cause a short squeeze thus causing a large run up in the stock than it isn't really much of a gamble, it's actually kind of smart, but it's also probably considered market manipulation. But i don't think anyone is going to feel bad for wall street losing money, quite thr opposite, notwithstanding the potential for losses on the other side.

[froggystyle]

Haha, it’s laughable he is acting like we are in some uncharted frontier. Nope, Wall Street as usual. They just came in, illegally halted any further buying and they will all walk without any prison time.

The Fed is following Japan lowering rates to zero, when that does not work they will buy ETF funds DO NOT SHORT place long Short positions to limit the downside. This is a "casino" not a market.

[CBTstreams]

It's rather irritating I haven't the funds to actually get into options.
I've been wanting to do so for a long time.

[justinlcosby]

How long can you sit on a short? Why not just sit on em until they come back down.

[jeannavarro]

Day traders are real jobs or speculation? Do they really know how to evaluate company performances?

[patw.]

Need that drop so i can load the truck

[jivepatrol]

Steve tells the truth!!! Wish he would run for President again...we need a real business leader!! Short selling is needed but one must use stops or risk possibility of a squeeze. 👍👍👍

[Bighairyass]

Still dont understand how you can "loan" stocks that you dont own??

[fordmaverick]

This told us nothing about bubble it just slammed short sellers.

[asthranick]

Short sellers in trouble... especially those borrowed money expecting a fall in the stock price to make money.
In business, when there's a buy, price of that stock will definitely go up.
Is unfortunate it isn't going to end well.

[rhaegartargaryen]

GME to 10, 000!
LETS GO, JUST PUT $12K.

[lonewalkerproductions]

Thanks for the advice old rich people

[Octovisuals]

Indeed. I've been rebalancing since January in preparation.
