I think most people have quietly sold a few of their shares this week to ensure that no matter what they are in profit . Then sit on the rest till it rockets or falls flat , I wonder do the investment funds realise yet the type of irrational degenerates they are dealing with in this situation . Logic is out the window they made it personal when they stopped them buying this week .

What happens next week then? I thought today was some kind of endgame.

Hold the line.

Would it be worthwhile for the hedge funds to start shorting GME now

Like taking out shorts, waiting for the spike to pass and then everything to collapse?


Maybe, not sure how viable a move that is. Especially with a lot of people more than likely to sell 50% of their shares near the peak and hold the rest, the shorts would be absolutely annhialated if they couldn't get the shares down to an absurdly low price after hanging on.

LOL. I'm just happy to be part of this. It's really broken the monotony of lockdown.

Yea that's what I was thinking of, the end result of course could be the share price spiralling out of control even more, not sure that the SEC would be overly enthusiastic about that. Eventually though the share price has to collapse (I presume)

Has anyone looked into FRSX?

Had a big jump recently but their autonomous car approach seems promising with long term potential.

What are peoples thoughts on AMD

Bought at 56 and sold at 85. I think it's overpriced now with all the free money in the market (kids back with parents with no expenses). Would wait for things to settle down a bit.

Bought Intel at 46. Trying to decide if it's worth going long on this one.

When wall street get themselves into a pickle they (I guarantee) will somehow get the rules changed to work in their favour..

I confess I was extremely lucky with some shares, buying at the bottom of the V c. March 2020.

As the U.S. hits the 500,000 mark in February and vaccines get delayed over and over in run up to the summer, we may see another wobble in the markets. The $1,400 ($2,000?) Uncle Sam giveaway may prop the market a little, but not sure how long it will last.

Trying to decide if all the "world is coming to an end" articles in the FT and NYT have any basis in reality, or if fund managers are just looking for a cheap way back in.

Currently have about 60 stocks invested. Clearly too many, but glad I diversified as some went poof (i.e. CHL, LLOY.L "don't ask").

I was only looking at their chart early for a possible swingtrade, not the worst of setups, alot of support with both horizontal price support (so from all the activity around the 87$ last few months), and then also hitting the 100day ma, but I would be looking for a strong bounce off this mark before I'd enter, if it break both these important supports it could sink quickly to 80 as investors get spooked. That's all purely from a technical point of view. I went with tsm for a swingtrade instead, much simple setup, clear uptrend on all 3 of the 20 50 and 100day moving average, and touch off the 20day today.

I bought some TSM about 2 weeks ago at about $124...felt the story was compelling etc. and that it was about to take off...... but the SP performance has been poor . Its down to about $121 now. What do you put this down to? is all the good news baked into the SP already or have goings on in other parts of the market distracted attention away from what should in theory at least be an absolute banger of a stock.?

This was a problem specific to Robinhoods relationship with their clearing house, won't affect all brokers

Not sure they'll be shorting after this week, but I can see a lot buying puts

It literally affected basically all retail brokers on Thursday and any who it didn't affect Thursday like Freetrade it affected Friday

You prob didn't check across the last 2wks lol? It did take off, hit 136 at it peak! The drop since is pure down to it went up "too much too soon", in 1st 3wks of jan it went from 110 to 136, that's in no way sustainable even for a high growth company. I would go as far as saying that at 124 2wks ago, it had already gone up "too much too soon", and was too far extended above its 20day moving average line (the green line), your purely buying a breakout play then, and need that hype and fomo to continue, which it did all the way to 136, until all the GameStop stuff kicked off. I bought it yesterday at 122 because it's now had a chance to cool off, and pulled back to its 20day ma, reasonable amount of support around the 122 mark from all the action around that mark 2wks ago. Maybe I'm wrong, and maybe it will crash back to like 110 (which would only be giving back 1month of gains), but the hope is that it will resume on upwards from this point.

What's the end game for deepfu1cking value the lad that started this ?
I presume he will have to cash out at some stage to get his money

He'll get Epsteined lol.

Ya been thinking about that but presume he'll be in high demand for everything now.

That video was fun to watch... It was like 30 minutes of "I can't figure GME out but there's something about it and I can't put my finger on it". It's like when you see a killer move in chess before you know what it is.

More importantly... What's his next one?

That's the key question. For at least a few months after this, whatever stock he endorses people will jump on. There's a return to be made from getting in early and flipping before eod I'm sure

Vaxart, Inc. (VXRT) make flu vaccines in pill form. Will have a press conference next week with their CEO and Dr. Fauchi regarding a Covid vaccine pill. Which the WHO has said is needed to vaccinate the whole world. Seems interesting, though it has blown up 30% today. I am in @ 11.32.

Took a small punt earlier. Read about it in Motley Fool -" 3 COVID-19 Vaccine Stocks That Could Be the Biggest Winners in a Post-Pandemic World"

AMC, the company, did very good business out of this. Quite likely the saving of the company.


Not sure GME did similar and will eventually go out of business.

I thought gme recently attracted investment, they also signed a distribution deal with Microsoft which was apparently huge news for them.

sold AMC yesterday for a profit of ten quid

bought the day before and watched it drop 35% before recovering , sold at the open yesterday

i had no interest in it and the cinema chain looks to be in much worse shape than GME , what with covid and all

Possibly, but hugely hugely over valued based on intrinsic value.

People have made life changing monies on this, but not only shorts ( no tears there) will lose big money.

Tempting, but I've stayed away. While most of us like to think investing isn't gambling, that there's a DD intelligence around it I'd give someone making money on this the same kudos as picking the winner in a football match.

im well aware that going near AMC or GME is pure gambling

The original redditor was not gambling to be fair. Well no more than normal, stock market at its core is gambling but done right its more like poker than sports betting IMHO.

He's a long term investor and he did a lot of research on it. The rest of the sub jumped on after ridiculing his original posts from months ago. Which has now turned his originally well researched well thought out punt into pure dot.com level bubble. Its made him a fcking multi millionaire tho which is pretty cool.

Absolutely. It's the reddit pump that's fascinating, but ultimately too risky for me. His next publicised play will also make him lots of money regardless of the fundamentals. Imagine if he jumped into a penny stock or something like wirecard.

I got on AMC around $10 after the initial spike and drop, thankfully revolute took a while to activate my trading account. I think its prob worth around half that without the reddit pumps, so I'm happy to hold it and hope for some crazy level reddit wins.

I think anyone buying gme now are taking a crazy risk. It could go to a thousand but if its proper value is around 20$ when the drop comes some people are going to lose a lot of money with no possibility of ever recouping it.
