Gentlemen, sorry to intrude. I’ve come from other corners of the internet to ask you guys for the TLDR version of the GameStop situation? What’s basically happening?

To understand what is going on, first of all you must understand what it means to short a stock. If you think the price of a stock is going up, you buy it and wait for it to increase in price, to sell it.

If you think it's going down, you borrow it, you sell it now, and wait for it to decrease in price, to buy it and give it back to who lent it to you. This is called shorting. Some institutional investors were shorting Gamestop stock. They borrowed it, sold it and were waiting for it to crash to buy it at a lower price. The guys in wallstreetbets decided to do the opposite. They are buying and not selling. This puts pressure on the price to increase (and those institutional investors find it difficult to buy it back, and must do it at a higher price).

The people in wallstreetbets see themselves as winning the fight (and getting paid/rich in the process), so they spam the subreddit with happiness and motivation to buy more.

>> No.26620943

Institutions and hedge funds shorted more shares of GME than actually exists. (This is illegal btw).
People noticed and bought to pump the price. Shorts have an expiration date, and a ton of them are this Friday. That means the shorts have to buy GME to cover their shorts. This is hopefully the beginning of a short squeeze of biblical proportions.

You fucking idiots really don’t understand how serious this is do you? You’re causing major institutions to lose billions of dollars and might even cause the grandparent loaning bank to go under. People will lose their homes, people’s mortgages and investments will be impacted as a result. There is a loser on every trade and mark our words at the end of the day it WILL be you

Enjoy retaining a lawyer and fighting off discovery for the next five years. Was it worth ruining your life for a 10x? Good luck explaining why you’re using words like “Jew” and “nigger” to a federal judge. Enough is enough and it’s about time someone took you man children down a notch.

But this is the answer. Now that every common man can be a trader they are organizing and basically doing mass market manipulation (but it's completely legal simply because there's no rule against this). The value of GMEs stock is based entirely on hype. There is literally no real money in this other than people's own money that they are gambling.

Imagine if I bought all your pokemon cards a decade ago and sold them to make a quick buck, and promised that I would replace them thinking that the price would go down as no one plays this children's game

But then the prices skyrocket because these basedboys are using their wagie bucks to buy the cards for the sake of nostalgia, and now I have to buy back your cards at 1000x the price that I sold them or else you'll cut off my nutsack.

Thats basically whats happening here.

Billionaire jews betted HUGE that gamestop would fail. They shorted ALL GME.

They're forced by contract to buy everyone's shares on friday.

The entire internet is pumping the price up which squeezes free money out of them.

What I'm confused about is if this is a common thing or not. Like, big companies get phased out and fail all the time. It seems natural that a hedge fund would come in and short the shit out of a company that they calculated to fail. What was stopping people in the past from picking up on this and fucking over the hedge funds and buying. Is it just the democratization of trading with robinhood allowing a shit ton of people to drive up the price, combined with the severity of shorting this fund tried to pull off? Just seems like something that we would have heard happen already.
