GME: If the hedges didn’t substantially cover today the price should go lower. All of the tactics seem unnecessary if there wasn’t still exposure (short ladders, limiting buying, mandatory stop-losses, etc). Doesn’t that create a short-term buying opportunity with gambling money? Coupled with renewed public interest that results in a big surge. Am I looking at this right?
What I can’t wrap my head around is WSB looking at this like an infinite opportunity. Assuming a surge even happens once the shorts have covered what would keep the momentum going?
In the AMA today Mark Cuban suggested existing investors hold. He sees something here.
SLV: Media started broadcasting silver as the next hot ticket yesterday but the price dropped. What’s happening here? Ironically, I’m still holding onto SLV from my last purchase many years ago. All of the supposed “next big thing” stocks went down on an up day: AMC, NOK, BB.
This post may come across as sorely uninformed. I made a handful of trades years ago and forgot most of the little I knew.

Wanda (owners of AMC) and the CCP should have stepped in and help screw over the hedge funds.

Except if you check WSB that's not the case at all, and all the accounts trying to push SLV in the comments are from new accounts, or ones that haven't been used in ages and never posted in WSB before (ie stolen).

^thanks. I’ve noticed that, too. They’re up in arms about it. Still, I didn’t think general public would make that distinction.

Don't worry, everyone's learned that lesson before. Many of us have learned that lesson multiple times and are still learning it lol.

I've seen a lot of PP deal decks come across my desk over the years, but this is the first one that I've actually put money into and seen it progress from a private company to a public company.
Having learned what I learned now, I feel that while the risks are higher, choosing the correct SPAC or purchasing shares of a CPC can lead to high reward. For example, the CPC that HULK.V used was AMW.P, which traded at $0.09. If my understanding is correct, shareholders of AMW.P are now shareholders of HULK.V which on Day 1 closed at 0.75. So without access to a PP, if I had invested in that CPC, I would be up 7x on Day 1?
Edit: Does anyone have experience with depositing share certificates into a brokerage or executing share warrants? I have about 4 months before I have to really worry about either, but it seems like WealthSimple doesnt do share certificate conversation and TD won't touch physicals cause COVID. | Td will take it now I believe. They were closed originally but the office is back opened already in Toronto. Just go to a branch and do a securities deposit. Next time ask for digital shares certificates instead.

- average down in "hopes" it comes back up some and i lessen my loss
- buy more share in the (again hopes) it "goes to the moon" and yay i have more
don't get me wrong, the fact that those two statements both contain "hope" is a poor judgement for an investment and i know that

This is what I have been trying to shed more light on with regards to the idea that institutional investors, like hedge funds, are a homogenous blob of establishment that colludes to protect each other when in reality, there are many factions and players to the market. It's also not uncommon for hedge funds to battle against each other (look up Icahn vs Ackman). In this case of GME, Bloomberg reported today that Jason Mudrick’s hedge fund earned $200 million on its GME positions thanks to wsb. Silver Lake Management, a titan in the tech private equity space, also earned over $100 million thanks to wsb. So much for sticking it to the 'suits' lol. Are these funds any more ethical than the ones that lost money on GME? Doubt it. https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/mudrick-...bets-1.1557916 | |

thinking of going long CCL. they said they can survive 2021 without cruising, so as long as vaccines are coming then i only see good things for CCL as the year goes on. also, who cruises? a lot of older people who are in line to get the vaccines a bit earlier. once people get immunized they will start booking cruises again. currently trading at $20, down from it's pre-covid price of around $50. just based on that i think $30 wouldn't be unreasonable by EOY as long as no major shortages of vaccines. there's a risk of the price not going up in a straight line though, things like outbreaks on ships if they start too early are possible. i'd DCA this one. thoughts?

Because I got in on GME so low ($38) and I only have three shares, it doesn't eat me as much to hold and see what happens.
However, I decided to go long on the recent IPO for Kits, an online eyeglass retailer based in Vancouver. The CEO managed to previously sell another eyewear company he ran to Luxottica (fuck them lol), and I have a feeling that there's some money to be had in a couple of years.

Recommendation on brokerage account? Fees don't matter to me. I just want it to be fast to trade, fast to process my transfer, and high liquidity (as in I don't want there to be issues with brokerage when I sell).
WealthSimple and QuestTrade wants 10 business days of processing time for DRS ComputerShares. But everyday that goes by is a higher capital gains hit cause it's currently non-registered. I'll take the capital gains hit into TFSA np but I just need the speed and reliability.
Edit: don't mind trading fees, but account fees kinda suck

Lol fuck yesterday they had a guest on BNN that was just ruthless regarding the WSB thing
“This isn’t even speculation, it’s Russian roulette. And the majority of people are going to be taken out on a stretcher because that’s what happens when you play Russian Roulette”
He ended with a little poke at WSB (im paraphrasing)
Somthing along the lines of “ok you paid for your new gaming consoles, now fade away”
Lol
