Someday you will release your army.

Financial & political flash mobs.

this is exactly what people were saying about maga when trump crowdsourced his election.

if I’m honest, yes this address has been pushed to the top of the stack in my head where before it was only a faint notion.

but I ask you this ... didn’t the hedgies themselves go to YouTube and CNBC and pitch their GME case? Doesn’t CNBC exist for precisely this reason? Sobbing Bill Ackman baiting the public to jump out there window in late March as Covid got real - armed with HIS big short.

this is the way it ever was. Just a different twist. The retail trader is always the target. HFT, order selling and dozens of other schemes. The game never ends. It’s sort of beautiful actually.

doesn’t CNBC so transparent & archaic right now in contrast? kinda really really cool how that worked out

Shut off CNBC Onestep and #DeleteRobinhood. Save yourself.

I am pretty sure Flat Top is the former poster Gil_The_Preposition_Hippopotamus

much like spider corpses in hotdogs, there will always be a very small amount of political nonsense and e-fighting in any online community. this is regrettable.

Wait a second that's why I'm viewing lolstocks, to avoid the e-fighting and political nonsense.

omg yall its our first forum fight

came with the update. Don’t give a shit it’s there as I’m not a faggot like you. Pic taken with latest iPad Pro model. You can’t afford. Who are you anyway? Another forum faggot on his 3rd or 4th username. What a literal bitch.

i question whether or not moments like this can be capitalized on. a few people are going to get out of this green. the vast majority are going to get hooked on their account balance going from 3 to 5 digits and assume the inevitable implosion is just another dip on their way to 6 digits.

the assertion that the core movers and shakers at wsb are larping as autists but are in fact highly motivated and highly technical professional traders is important and the implications are extremely far reaching. senators are demanding action. the SEC is gearing up to take action.

[ hits the fast forward button ] ... and in the end, its us retail traders who are going to get fucked here. shitty misguided legislation could lock everyone out of this who isnt part of the money club.

lower margin, higher capital requirements, rejiggered IV sensitivity...

you know what this reminds me of?

when strippers decided they wanted to unionize. they went from making $3k a week off the books working part time to making $600 a week net and thats before penalties if they showed up for their shift late.

its time

i get the appeal of the dismissive attitude when everyone else is coming unglued and prepared to march. I do.

in this context, a lawyer is a tool. He’s welcome to his take - we all have one but I am curious what interests you here?

the most important takeaway from this whole episode is a signal as to where we are in the confidence cycle. You have a wide swath of the public using enormous leverage to speculate in a targeted way.

remember TIlray and Onestep’s meat and all the rest. Now it’s GME and others and yes it’s more extreme. Remind you of anything? I don’t know if you saw folks speculate in 2000. Near certainty they were gonna bink. And they did. Until they didn’t. How about flipping houses in 2005?

none of the subprime lenders are around anymore. Robinhood may go tits up. They will be some new regs. These will be forgotten - so yeah, ok.

We been feeling the loose free money for months or years.... at least since March.

that being said, there is a lot of noise and entertainment. Don’t let that distract you from capitalizing on the moment. I say that as a reminder to myself as much as anything.
