So basically - if I got it right - hedge funds have been shorting GameStop for years (makes sense, brick-and-mortar game shops are not what they used to be, and the stock has been going down). Now an investor came in last year with lots of online entrepreneurial experience and some billions behind him. Stock went up a bit, even more when he bought more and took a place on the board early this year.
The self-appointed retards at WSB looked at how many funds were still shorting the share, and started buying it, feeling that GameStop with a change of direction might not go bankrupt after all (they have 55 million ppl in their customer database, for instance). The funds holding the shorts have been trying to dump the share price, but the thousands of small investors from WSB (and some big ones) have been buying them all up. So the shares are going up - how far, no one knows. It's a big game of musical chairs and someone will be standing there with a huge amount of overpriced shares at some point.
If you'd put 1k into GameStop shares on the 12th of Jan, it'd be worth 13-14k today. Might be double, or quadruple that, by the end of this week. And no, there's nothing illegal here, they're taking advantage of pretty silly shortenings by hedge funds.
It'd be neat if all of these were collected in one document... From the COVID lockdowns switching to opening up as soon as Biden stepped into the Oval Office. to things like this.
So, we're believing a NYT reporter who quotes "people familiar with Trump's thinking" now? Puh-leez. The MSM is desperately trying to wring the last possible clicks out of Trump's name....
It's the Google login API that someone's messed with. Try YouTube in incognito mode, should work.
I can't imagine what it'll look like when the pendulum swings in the other direction, as it is want to do...
Getting a 404?
Yup, that's the start. I'll browse around for more. Thank you.
True, paywalled though
Thanks - yeah, paywall.
Point being that many close to me are completely unaware of what's been going on, as they only consume MSM. Some of them I hold quite dear, and believe they can be helped to see reason when the inevitable happens and we get four more years, if cases can be presented clearly.
Roligt att träffa på en svensk här också - hoppas ni får ordning på ert land i något skede! När man kollar på Sverige lite från sidan av verkar det som om det är på väg åt fel håll - men rätta mig gärna om jag har fel.
Fellow Finn here. Came a bit later to this party than you, was actually rooting for Bernie for a while in 2016... Started looking into what the MSM was reporting about Trump, saw all the lies and deceits and been firmly on the Trump Train since then. Not the easiest stand to take, but a slow and steady redpilling of the people in my vicinity seems to be a good approach.
Echo most things you say. Finland at its core is pretty based in a unique way - I feel we believe very much in solidarity, a remnant of the wars we've had to fight against the Soviet Union. Unfortunately, this is a trait which is now being subverted into a lot of less desirable directions by the left.
Would love to move to the US, but with family and kids here in Finland I feel it's my responsibility to stay and fight for the country.
See my reply below - probably a bit too late to jump on this particular train, and it's the first I've ever seen work this beautifully. You'd need to be several thousand novices basically, all with some capital and nerves of steel.
