Fake news. He wasn't a daytrader. He held 2 year options.

If you actually look at the history of Roaring Kitty's investment, it wasn't day trading.. It was buying and holding based on research. The videos are all there publicly available on this same platform.

Im going to invest in game stop because when GTA6 drops true players want Physical copies, not digital. And what better way to get it then through GAME STOP. dont get left out!

Recently bought some recommended stocks and now they are just penny stocks. There seems to be more negative portfolios in the last 3rd half of 2023 with markets tumbling, soaring inflation, and banks going out of business. My concern is how can the rapid interest-rate hike be of favor to a value investor, or is it better avoiding stocks for a while?

[benjamincarter]

Why would you say the retail buyers are the reason for the price? It's clearly the short sellers. They never closed their shorts

[neilpdx]

The fundamentals are the shorts are naked and have to cover their position’s.

This is not a meme trade based on DFVs tweet. This is a much, much bigger fraud that has needed to unwind for several years.

How would this be a retail meme trade with massive price action driving this during after-hours trading Friday, and the premarket trading this morning when retail investors are generally unable to trade during those time windows.

say the stock right... "weve seen this before? with negative tone?
