Wall Street does it all the time. Now they're mad that others are doing it.

Or is this a ploy to discredit the performance of the Trump Admin stock market?

Nope this is wrong. Melvins hedge broken regulations by shorting at stock over 120%. The Volkswagen short in 2008 only had a 40% short. These flickers broke the law and made a completely retarded move. Entirely on them and everyone else is playing within the rules.

Exactly! What can and should be done to get Melvin & Co. arrested for their criminal activity?

Possibly nothing, but don't think they won't be ruined over it. I'm not as confident as others that there'll be a bailout.

This isn't how you play OUR game. It's a threat to OUR democracy.

Wall Street has been manipulating the market for years without being punished for it. Like have we already forgotten about the housing market crash of 2008?

I remember back in those days being shocked to learn that more people own their homes than own their cars. And then they bailed out the auto industries too. Hmmmm.

This all seems like a pyramid scheme. They did this to a Canadian weed company back in 2018. They drove the shares from $20 to $300, costing hedge funds over $600 mil. It then fell all the way back to $20. They push the propaganda hard under the guise of being expert hedge fund managers touting the Soros doctrine. These people are commies playing war with hedge fund managers. They seem to be targeting companies that have high short positions like BBBY, BB, NOK, GME, and AMC. Shorts have lost $60+ billion in January. What the folks on Reddit won't tell you is that they lose an awful lot doing what they do. They admit to 12.2% average yearly returns since 2012.

Like half the top upvoted posts on WSB are loss porn.

I don't think it is accurate to say they don't admit they lose a ton.

Interesting. Still don’t feel bad for the hedge funds. The Fed reserve will bail them out anyway.

It's not a pyramid scheme. The people involved definitely are not communists. I know because I'm one of them.

This has somehow become a cultural phenomena venting anger at the elites, but this is pure capitalism (until the government steps in and bails out their hedge fund buddies).

It's a pyramid scheme. Everyone that joined the party since last thursdays has lost their ass.

Yeah no kidding if you jump on board a train as it's leaving with no clue as to where it's going or what it's about you're no likely to succeed. Those people had no clue what they're doing, why does that make it a pyramid scheme?

The stock market never reflected economic value. It just reflects how the people in market are feeling at a particular moment. If you scare them, the stocks go down, if you make them feel good, the stocks go up. When Trump won, the stocks went way way down because they were confused. They don't like being confused. Then the stocks went way way up to record levels because they realized that GEOTUS is the goat.

This IS how you're supposed to play the game (to win!) They just don't want anyone else winning, because they're bastards.
