GameStop (GME) Ready To Implode

In this video, I discuss the ongoing short squeeze and gamma squeeze in GameStop (GME), and how regulators are in the process of putting an end to it.

Many online brokers are now prohibiting their clients from trading in short-squeezed names like GME, AMC, BB, etc. This is outrageous, and another sign that US markets are becoming increasingly less free. Regulators rarely care if retail investors lose money, but once it's big hedge funds, they bring in the heavy guns.

I also discuss long-short equity hedge funds, and how they are forced to unwind the long side of their books if the short side of their books blows up. This can explain in part what happened with yesterday's market sell-off and VIX spike.

So Robin Hood shuts down trading of these securities. Has anyone noticed the irony of a company called "Robin Hood", (Taking from the Rich and giving to the Poor), protecting corporatism and elite institutions over Average Joes?

hedge funds were short 140% of the stock. smart traders found this and told their community. sounds legit to me.

"... If you are tired of regulators coming in and shutting you down and telling you that you can't play this game because you might hurt some billionaires, you should check out something called Bitcoin ..." - Matt Kratter. So awesome Matt. Love the style.

[bjohnson]

This is absolutely outrageous corruption.

[hoochill]

this is why decentralised exchanges have massive potential.

So with it being about two weeks or so, have you started to use another brokerage app? If so, what are you using or recommend using?

[EpicICP]

I'm so glad you brought up the bias against retail investors on Wall Street! Great information, I wish more people would talk about this.

[edfox]

Your rock, Matthew. Thanks for explaining this, I was struggling to fully comprehend what this was all about.

[bspiderm]

What’s your favorite ETF right now? Thanks

I know I don't have to worry about this... but I would love to see your analysis of what might happen if the treasury, fed, and government were all run by people who truly wanted to correct the system (let's assume these people all survive the attempts on their lives and keep their resolve). They let the markets correct, no bail outs, back the dollar with something of value (Bitcoin?), etc. What would happen to jobs, consumer prices, foreign relations, etc?

I can't appreciate your video more Matthew. Agree with you, this is yet another nail in the coffin of the 'free market'. This will set a precedent now that with good enough lobbying by any big market player then brokers (and regulators) can influence the market a certain way. This is wrong. While I didn't partake in the GME/AMC showdown, and while I'm very happy for those who made so much money, I feared this will quickly turn against retail investors. I fear we haven't heard the last of this, there may be further steps that will control the market if I had to take a guess.

[alangoode]

So good I shared this video and listened to it twice. The resolve of BTC hodlers like you and I is severely underestimated. Those trying to short Bitcoin play a very dangerous game of financial Russian roulette.

Matthew! Are they able to manipulate the greeks after I've already purchased put options?

[KunalBalani]

Matt, how would you trade to hedge around high VIX positions and still be long in high quality dividend position?

[enesatael]

Guys! Just google: “FBC14 algorithm”! You will go nuts!

[jiayoulu]

Sold 1 one of my last 3 shares at 499. Didn't imagine it was the top....

[KunalBalani]

Thanks for explaining the overall market positions and yesterday’s erratic behavior. I also think these activities by retail investors is on the rise and happens every time in call options volume around quarterly earnings time.

Would love your thoughts more about these activities?

This is the bluntest way of manipulation i've seen in my entire life.
