>asset inflation measn consumer inflation
Okay, imagine the following scenario:
XYZ company, 1000000 outstanding shares.
Share price is $1, daily volume is 1K
Let's say you and I start trading one day:
>I sell you 300 shares at $1.1
>You sell it back at $1.2, since the price increased
>I sell it back again (profit taking) 300 shares at $1.5
>You sell it back at $1.6
>Trading day closes.
-390 + 480
You basically gave me $90
The stock ownership didn't change
The company market cap increased by $1M.
Where did the $1M come from?
Did it cause inflation?

You can also imagine the same scenario in reverse. That will answer the "where did all the money go" question. It never existed. Market caps are not real in this sense.
M1, M2 and asset prices do not correlate with CPI.

Well, as soon as the Fed thinks of hinting at thinking about raising rates, the algos will immediately crash the market.
You should look for IRL evidence of inflation. You know, actual prices going up. Normies complaining.

IMO it will happen once the lockdown is lifted, because people will go out and spend their money they accumulated over the year. They will also over-consoom due to being locked up for so long. But the production won't be there, also because of the lockdowns and because it doesn't scale as fast (see the toilet paper crisis for example).
Higher demand, low production => higher prices. Which is literally the definition of inflation.
That's when shit's going to hit the fan, and you better hope the Fed is ready with some creative policies to counteract that, because Congress and the Presidency will be incompetent and slow as always.

If you don't know, you shouldn't. You will lose money.

The thing about GME is that hodlers are like a cult. The worst thing is that cults tend to become more fanatic, because the more moderate members leave.
There's never been an apocalyptic cult that disappeared just because the apocalypse didn't happen when predicted; you lose a few followers, but the same gullibility that made most cult members members makes it easy for them to swallow excuses for why the apocalypse didn't happen. Broadly speaking it breaks down to two options: the timing of the prediction is a little off, or the Apocalypse actually *did* happen, people aren't attuned enough to the esoteric truth to see. We're seeing *both* flavors of rationalization in GME believers: the squeeze is yet to come, two weeks from now and the squeeze happened and hedgies are already in trouble.

Very similar to QAnon people and the Trump win.

ITT: A shitton of people, who don't know the difference beteen covering shorts and exiting them. You cover shorts by buying calls, so you can excercise if the price gets too large. Also it will not show up in the short interest, so they can have any% short interest while having zero chance of a squeeze.
You have been duped. You should move on.

>Obviously reddit is no more than 5% of the ownership so it doesn't really matter what they do though.
I was gonna reply this right after I read your first sentence.

Think of it this way: if you only had the cash every morning, would you buy back the same stocks you already have? If not, sell.
This way you wont panic sell on red day, because the thought is "hmm, it's cheapies, I'd buy these"
But it makes rotating from crabs to growth much easier on the psyche.

No. I think it's cyclical, but I don't think it's caused by the jews.

>Interestingly the CEO of PLUG is also a director of GEVO.
Considering that PLUG is an unviable product that defies well-known physics, and will become the next NKLA, what's not a good outlook.

Then again, PLUG managed to scam at least one government and a mediocre yuropoor automotive OEM, pumping the stock price, GEVO may do the same. Just be sure to time the top right, because once the reports of failure come in, they will go down real fast.
