Alright, who’s going to short GameStop? +80% in intraday trading, +600% as of 2021. Per WSJ - the bull rally is fueled by individual investors encouraging each other to buy the stock.

Honestly though GME is a ripple effect of the frustration normal people have against the wealthy.

Who wouldn’t want to tell hedge funds/short sellers to shove it up their behind? Why should people make money betting against performance?

BTW screw Citron, they are the enemy how many bs moves has Andrew left made to screw over people I applaud what the WSB folks are doing to him

It’s fueled by WSB - they’ll YOLO their entire life’s savings into something just for fun/an internet stranger told them to. So it’s 50/50 on what will happen, they’ll either find something else that interests them more and it’ll drop or they’ll take the attention they’re getting for this as incentive to hold it up as long as possible no matter what (and they’re crazy enough to do that).

I’m pretty sure them pumping it all started just to spite someone who was shorting it in the first place.

Basically this was a "screw you" to Citron Research who were claiming to be modern oracles with sage wisdom like "brick and mortar video game stores aren't going to be successful long term".

WSB all got together to buy and drive up the stock value lol.

Still want to short it?

Kinda, yeah!

All speculation: I think it will stabilize between 30-50. I think there have been some actual good improvements with the company, between leadership changes and video game industry growth, expanding into PC components.

Am I going to short it? Hell no. Do whatever it takes to cleanse your mind of FOMO.
