So do the people left holding the bucket start complaining about the dangers of market manipulation in the internet and the need to throw these people behind bars?  |

The IV is still insanely jacked on GME.
You will still lose premium even as the stock price itself crashes down.
My put spread is worth less today than it was last week. Expect to see both side of the the option chain crashing down in value with the stock.
If it’s seems easy money. It’s most likely a trap. GME is going to be a painful lesson for all those that are just in it for the money that join last week...

Rich buddy tells you how much profit he's made on X stock, by the time you hear about it, it's more often than not too late for you to go and buy that stock. If anything, if it's not a hype stock (ie. VERY), I would just put it on my watch list, do my DD (due diligence) and wait for a significantly lower price.
I'm no expert or anything and this isn't financial advise. But I've seen many friends, myself included, when we were ultra newbs at the stock market that purchased a stock by listening to a rich friend and got fucked. Like entry at $8 to exit $3 (one guy exited at $1.00) kind of fucked. Bag holding is not the way to go

GME bounced back once on one dip so far......that wasn't expected to me
the ultimate gamble is if you're thinking its gonna dip $150 and boost to $250 in matter of hours a 2nd time

To me it looks like it's not even close to being over; they're trying to mitigate complete disaster. If all the shorts were covered, the volume should be pretty easy to keep track of. Reddit is making them hold on and pretend things are fine, let's see who has the most patience  | |

i find that usually i find out about these things when things are still going up, and i usually don't get caught up in it but i did here. when i got in i had ample opportunity to get out with a tidy profit but then greed kicks in. oh well, lesson learned.

Mark Cuban goes live. GME starts climbing and they halt the trading, killing momentum. Too much manipulation.

Another news org not bothering to verify anything before posting stuff that's easily checked as false. If nothing else GME has been good at showing who to ignore. https://markets.businessinsider.com/...1-2-1030028701

Should've linked the article earlier. Quote: |
“Being the CEO of Amazon is a deep responsibility, and it’s consuming. When you have a responsibility like that, it’s hard to put attention on anything else,” he added. “As Exec Chair I will stay engaged in important Amazon initiatives but also have the time and energy I need to focus on the Day 1 Fund, the Bezos Earth Fund, Blue Origin, The Washington Post, and my other passions.”

^ yup, once you are swimming in billions, something clicks inside and I think you start thinking how I can leave a positive legacy of some sort like environment, alleviate poverty, health and eradicating disease, education for the developing countries, clean water, etc.
I actually like how some of the wealthiest people in the world has pledged to give away like 50% of their wealth away. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Giving_Pledge | |
