How can we have a PEDOTUS, while Trump won?
PEDOTUS, POTATUS... Let's call the whole thing off.
Perfect lol. I can't decide if I love or hate this song, but I love this meme!
POE TAY TUS
Is this a reference to something or just general disrespect (in which case, FFFFFFFF)?
I’ve been waiting to see it explained so i hadn’t asked yet, but fuck it.
You know, I did see a meme this morning of a leaked brain scan of joe that looked an awful lot like a baked potato, but I guess I didn’t put 2 and 2 together.
Thanks!
Massive amounts of naked shorts. They are selling stocks that don't exist and buy real ones to cover once the price is deflated. The game is rigged.
That answers my question of who is selling, but doesn't this just dig them deeper into what was causing the problem in the first place - having shorted too much stock? Do they think we'll see the price drop and suddenly sell?
That's their hope. They are pushing the price down through shorts to get people to stop holding and sell. So instead of not shorting the stock anymore they are trippling down on shorts so that they can "artificially" create selling.
You know when this whole $GME squeeze attempt was discussed a gamble by people who just like the stock? Well now the big boys are gambling that they can demoralize the holders of stock to sell.
I can stay retarded longer than they can stay solvent.
HOLD THE LINE
That’s exactly what they think. They are not prepared.
Yea, but when they lose they get bailed out by the government at the taxpayers expense. This is, and has always been the problem with "trust", fractional reserve banking, and stonks.
The best thing average people could do would be to just abandon their rigged games, move into trust less assets like gold, silver and crypto. What else do we need? I'm sure local communities could use gold and silver coins as currency, and crypto works great for online shopping. Small businesses are more likely to accept it as well.
Yes. The point is to depress the price to depress the muh hype to da moon. As people lose focus they slowly buy back at better and better rates. They can print imaginary stocks all day and night, for that matter. They seem to dump these naked shorts at night when retail traders are asleep.
Right. This like you and I selling your neighbors mower back and forth to one another and marking that we now each own 3 mowers.
Rigged election, rigged economic system. Its that simple.
Dominion programmers and some rich fucks
if the overwhelming majority of demand/buy orders is lower than present stock price
literally how does the stock market work
Yup - lower demand lowers the price.
The hedgies are playing a (very expensive) waiting game to try and salvage at least something from the wreck they made of their portfolios, so no demand right now. Once those high-interest loans and double-down short calls come due, they'll still have to pay up, because the price will still be way, way North of the ~$2-3 they originally shorted it for. They're just hoping it's not enough of a diff to end up bankrupt.
No conspiracy to be had, really... it's just the game playing out.
Squeeze them until they fail and until the institutions that bail them out fail.
Buy the dip and hodl.
Not financial advice, just a retard on the internet.
Unless there are counterfeit shares out there, then that would be quite a conspiracy (although not necessarily related to the OP)
They've already recovered a ton of their losses based on the movement the past 2 days.
Remember that they trade stocks/options thousands of times. They win either way except for the rare situation last week.
Not really, there are still 0 GME shares left that are available for a short sale. If they had actually recovered their losses, this number would be going up

Option trading is on fire. Gme is printing money on the way up and down.
It'll fill pre market imo
Bingo. This is basic stuff and if you don't understand it, you should seek to educate yourself, not be asking questions on a political forum.
If more shares are being bought than sold you would think in that sellers market price would go up is all I think OP is trying to say.
If I put in 100,000 buy orders at 3c, would that cause the price to drop?
The price is what people AGREE to sell/buy at, nothing to do with how many buy or sell orders there are away from the current agreed price (which is basically what the last buy/sell went for). In fact, sell and buy walls are often used to influence the market.
The market makers act as middleman to keep a market in motion. So if you are trying to sell a $0.03 and there's nobody else all the way to $120, the market makers would try to bring the stock down to grab your shares.
I'll note that most brokers aren't going to allow you to put in buy orders that far from the market price (as far as I know) but the point stands. The order books are interesting for their own reasons but it's only at the spread that the action is really happening.
It is not the number of orders but the sizeof the orders.
Because they are going to manipulate all the naive children into the ground.
Thanks to fiat money.
It's why taking profits and buying physical silver was the kill shot. But hey it's a right of passage to lose your shirt as a kid
Hint: there’s a metric fuck ton of sell orders they’re not showing. S3 changed the way it calculates float % as well, it’s well over 100% still on GME.
Did you look at outstanding shares or did you just look at this and screenshot?
dominion controls stocks 🧐
I imagine they have a bigass pool of stock and are just ping-ponging it back and forth to lower the price and scare sellers
It’s called laddering.
Hedge funds sell to one another back and forth to drop the stock price, which allows them to conceal the real valuation.
They’d freaking out about the coming squeeze, and finding ways to sell and buy that benefit them.
They think that if they drop the price for long enough, people will panic and sell high volumes. When they do that, they’ll buy high volumes and decrease they’d exposure from the shorts.
TL;DR it’s psyops to get you to sell. HOLD!! The squeeze will force the price up and the hedge funds will HAVE to pay the extreme prices.
LOL ok bud. Let me know in a week how that works out for ya. You wanna buy some Bitcoin too?
The question is whether the squeeze is squoze yet. People are saying it is not because short interest is still high.
No more Bitcoin, thanks. The $450 I gambled with 5 years ago is doing just fine.
As for the GME weekly report, I’m down $60. Darn it. Robinhood took the air out of the tires this time.
I would’ve happily paid ten times that for the massive red pill about media propaganda and lies getting shoved down Reddit’s throat over the nonsense SLV squeeze horseshit. Now they can see what we’ve seen for years.
LOTS of options contracts trying to fuck with things.
Because they use Gamestoquantitative Easing to create more gamestop shares than should exist, faster than people can buy gamestop stonks
they do the same with SLV
Buy physical and hold. The premium is crazy. LOL
Just started stacking Bitcoin today, too.
Hit em everywhere you can.
$SLV is only fun if you demand physical from them.
There are lots of possibilities. Most though it was low volume sells to depress the price then fellow retards jumping in to buy the dip.
Because the short interest is synthetic as well as double counting order flow.
SEC IS rigged too duh, just like reddit would fuck with the Donald's subscribe and like #s. The supress the truth becuzse they know what it would do
Counterfeit shares...
Hedgefunds buying between themselves and counterfeit stocks.

larger orders
The tide pulls waaaaaayy back right before the mother of all waves. Brace yourself! Buy the dip!
Well truthfully, a buy order for 1 stock and a sell order for 10 stocks is each 1 order, but the sell of 10 stocks has 10x the effect. So it's quite easy to have more buys than sells while the price drops.
Or, if you just want the party line, they are evil and cheating and how dare they!
It’s actually less convoluted than that. They froze all buys and only allowed selling during the ladder attacks.
It’s also not a good idea to be a smartass as a handshake. You won’t last long.
This chart is from today though. Are they still freezing buys?
Not that they tell the truth, but I thought that's what the apology letter was for.
I think RH is allowing “limited” buys or some bs.
Couldn't the company release more stock as well?
Driving the number of shares up and the cost down.
Yes-ish?
Typically companies only issue stock when investing in expanding their business.
It would be pretty stupid for them to do that now. After all, it's rumored that there are a lot of fake shares floating around -- and those fake shares spell long prison sentences!
Alright.
Yes. But that's most likely not what's happening now.
Thank you!
Learning a lot.
I don't think they should, but, yeah they could depending on what they have in their treasury. Also, it wouldn't affect the float unless they filed a registration statement like an S-1 with the SEC or else the shares would be issued restricted. The unissued shares could also be locked up in indemnity or lock-up agreements and they would have to do a corporate action and go through the secretary of state and get an articles of amendment to increase their unissued share count
GameStop is rumored to have something like 20 million legit-but-unissued shares in their possession right now, which they could release at any time. If they're smart, they already sold them last week.
But do you really think there isn't Tom Fuckery about?
There may well be but that's not directly relevant to the question.
