We all remember that sinking feeling election night knowing we were winning, sticking it out the man (AGAIN), and watching out numbers moon like crazy. LIKE CRAZY.
Then, suddenly, in the dead of night like a Venezuelan Socialist election, they halted the count. And immediately afterwards Biden numbers jumped up at statistically impossible levels, all while the media pretended nothing happened.
And we all watched helplessly as our five years of investment (in Trump) came crashing down, all while the powers-at-be exposed just how rigged the game truly is.
ITS IMPOSSIBLE TO NOT SEE THE CONNECTION, AND NOT FEEL FOR MY DIAMON HANDED AUTIST BROTHERS (literally have brothers holding stock and they don't even like Trump lol)
Robinhood is already being setup as the sacrificial lamb. Whoever controls Robinhood knows it's a source of pain in the stock market. The powers-at-be know a lawsuit is coming, and they're willing to save Melvin by making Robinhood the scapegoat.
The world will make Robinhood the enemy, all while ignoring the real enemies at the top, stocks will fall to an acceptable level that the Treasury can bail the companies out at, average Redditors will be screwed, and life will go on as normal for the elite.
Absolute corrupting, collusion, and manipulation.
EDIT: This post was made when GME was in free fall from 390 to 109 in like 40 minutes, it's back up, but my point still stands: COLLUSION BY THOSE IN POWER AGAINST US WHO GRANT THEM POWER.
Also, the internet is high on suing Robinhood, but they're not asking the right question: why does Robinhood care?
Because they're protecting someone. Someone on high spoke down to Robinhood and made them halt, or probably have their daughters boyfriends blown up (sadly not even a joke, see Georgia).
Who are they protecting?
That's who the internet needs to rally against after this is all over.
💎👐 Until after market open tomorrow.
I mean, you only lose 100% of your money. In a short you can lose more than that.
no. Technically you only "lose money" at the point of selling. If you bought a share at $100 and it falls to $1, you haven't lost anything. If you sell now at $1, yes, you lose money. But if you wait and it goes up to $100, you didn't lose a penny.
So when you buy something, you keep your money?
If you never sell, do you still have your money?
Was replying to the claim of never selling meaning never losing money. It actually guarantees you lose exactly 100% of the money.
You mas as well ask yourself "how do you get money?"
Time
You turn your time into money, turn that money into goods/investments
you consume goods and can trade/sell an investment
saying something is worthless is like saying you wasted your time, which can be true
also you already hit the point on the head with the car analagy, the car loses value once you drive it off the lot (because no dealer will buy it back from you for the cost you paid for it)
that being said if you buy a shit car, restore it, and sell it for a profit, you keep the difference and you can figure out the value of your time that way.
but stocks are just a commodity, they sit there while the value goes up and down because of the company (or shit-heel hedge funds) but the point is a STOCK is only a loss if you sell it at a loss, you lose faith in the stock and you lose money, or you can keep faith in the stock and lose money because the company goes under making the stock worthless.
that's basically how a stock works
