    I get that it's easy rooting against the people running the hedge funds, but the money that is being lost is probably a lot of pensions and endowments.

    looking for the next Gamestop seems like a good idea, but I can't see these funds continuing to short AMC or BB or whatever they way they did GME. they won't make the same mistake again (or will they)

    My sales are not currently going through but up $300/share on gamestop, tripled money on AMC in a week, more than doubled money on blackberry in a week. Obviously bought stocks based on memes so didn't put in that much money but still just insane returns.

    What's interesting is the biggest institutional holders of GME is Dimensional Fund Advisors which is run by a bunch of academics rooted in the Efficient Market Hypothesis.

    What the internet did for direct channels to people in power and the ability for musical artists and comedians to work outside traditional structures, it's done for investing. That has to be generally terrifying for professionals.

    I tend to think that Melvin can't be as exposed as everyone thinks here. I am sure they have hedged in some way as opposed to just being naked short.

    He's so poor he only put up $750 million, the $2bill came from Ken Griffin.

    Ken ironically is making money on filling all the retail order flow from WSB.

    uncle stevie has hired a sexual deviant as GM and cheaped out on signing the guy who you and other met fans swore he would be able to pay for with change from his couch cushions

    i get that you're upset for being duped by a couple zany tweets from him about how he was changing the culture and whatever and it has to be frustrating knowing that every person on earth besides met fans saw this con coming but it isnt necessary to lash out like this

    The GameStop stuff is funny and all but the company deserves to be shuttered, fucking hate ‘em. I dislike that execs who have made detrimental decisions for gamers for years now get to see their wealth exponentially grow.
