No, this is about hedge funds betting on failure in order to short a stock, but becoming so predictable that they were taken advantage of. These aren’t your normal investors and the little guy isn’t at risk unless he is elbow deep in high risk.
It remains to be seen how this will effect the future of this type of betting. There are “safeguards” in place that protect the vultures from telegraphing their moves. It may be a new dawn on reducing the ability to bet on failure successfully.
There’s been an influx of 2 billion on the losses which are mounting to some 30%. If the trend of being in front of the move isn’t a one off, you might see a second, well planned reaction to the supplemental cash injected. That would be glorious and put a sense of fear into assholes looking to crate failure for their own gain.
By definition these are "HEDGE" funds. If they were truly hedging their bets they have matching options to cover their losses.
Of course we all get sloppy when we think we can't lose. That is the delicious part of the show.
Not likely, unless they are are in higher risk funds. Day to Day managers will not put their entire portfolio on the line for a whim or a maybe.

Yeah, what is all this about?
