You keep having adult conversations in here and the forum will collapse on itself like a supermassive black hole. The only thing that keeps this place running is the expansion of the white-hot supernova rage of incels and noobs.No worries. Good on that lunch retrospective.
Shut your festering gob, you tit!You keep having adult conversations in here and the forum will collapse on itself like a supermassive black hole. The only thing that keeps this place running is the expansion of the white-hot supernova rage of incels and noobs.
You're throwing off the equilibrium!
Equilibrium restored 😂Shut your festering gob, you tit!
Red has a point, though. We're slowly migrating to a world where we don't OWN anything, and we subscribe various rental services for everything. Nobody buys movies on DVD anymore, they stream them. Nobody buys music anymore, they stream that as well. Hell, some of us don't even go grocery shopping anymore... we have meal box subscription services like Blue Apron and delivery services Peapod bring us our food on a schedule. Businesses no longer build their own data centers, they just rent virtual servers and storage from Azure and AWS. The list goes on and on...
It makes you wonder... in the future, will "owning" a car seem like a weird thing only a rich person would do, because most people summon a self-driving taxi from your smartwatch? Hell... you probably won't own the smartwatch either, because you'll be on an Apple tech subscription service that sends you a new one every two years
Wanna sue RH? Good luck.

Robinhood restricting trades was hilarious.
"You mean there's a catch to free stock trading?!!"
Maybe Asus would be willing to buy some of their stores, and turn them into 'Republic of Gamers' stores, and become PC-hardware / gaming-PC centric stores to show off gaming PCs and PC Gaming. Like a Microsoft / Dell / Apple store. They would have to beat BestBuy and Microcenter, but they might have an upper hand as far as distribution reach due to number of stores compared to Microcenter, and a singular focus on PC Gaming versus BestBuy.Grow it. e-Sports can be huge in this country. Make it so that when people think e-Sport, they think of GameStop. Sort of like ESPN. Become like retailer/media/all things gaming company. Setup your own Steam or Epic games type online stores/distribution. I don't know. I'm not really a gamer anymore. But I see my nephew and little kids addicted to online gaming. You have to tap that market somehow whether through Twitch like service or Youtube streaming. Make your site and stores the central hub of all things gaming. Create eSports league and launch Twitch like streaming network.
This why they need to pivot hardcore to PC Gaming, and partner / sell to Asus.There's no such thing as a legally sanctioned third party digital store for game consoles.
They already tried that and failed years ago when there was only Steam. There are a few competent PC download stores now.This why they need to pivot hardcore to PC Gaming, and partner / sell to Asus.
They haven't tried pornographic games yet; that would be profitable in Japan.
I'm late to this thread, but something to consider: even TD Ameritrade and Schwab (soon to be one in the same) appeared to place restrictions on trading the various meme tickers, but not as extreme or as widespread it seems. Both are also commission-free for the vast majority of trades, and have Robinhood to thank for making that a successful strategy. Heard other brokerages on par with TDA/Schwab did not make any trade restrictions, but I can't verify.
They didn't let you make trades for 7 days after creating your account (to give funds time to clear), citing "insufficient funds" even though it showed a balance.My friend works at Vanguard and they had no restrictions, but their service is not free.

They didn't charge me anything for the AMC I bought, though.
I'd be surprised if DFV actually goes to jail. He's got lots of people in congress backing him up as well.The sad part is the guy behind all this is probably going to end up in jail over this. It's a piss off that it's legal for the hedge funds to manipulate the market but the minute individuals do it it's suddenly illegal.
If true, then the end result better be regulation on the massive short positions that were allowed to be taken in GME that caught attention in the first placeThomas Peterffy of Interactive Brokers pretty much confirming what I and many suspected. The stock market and the financial system was going to collapse if they did not stop the buying pressure of GME stock and options.

Thomas Peterffy is a huge douche but I believe he's telling the truth. The short hedge funds and the market makers were about to all go bankrupt and wouldn't have been able to honor the dollars made by GME longs. Fucking video game retailer company stock was merely minutes away from blowing up our entire stock market system. lol.
Pump and dump is illegal in both cases.The sad part is the guy behind all this is probably going to end up in jail over this. It's a piss off that it's legal for the hedge funds to manipulate the market but the minute individuals do it it's suddenly illegal.

DFV is not going to jail. He didn't do anything wrong. He didn't pump and dump. What's sad is that all the bad actors didn't go bankrupt like they should've. None of the short hedge fund crooks and brokers are going to jail. WSB had it right and they should've become millionaires while the billionaires went broke. That's the shitty part. Being right and then having cheaters cheat to protect their money and not go broke. And all the rich fuckers looking the other way and while blaming the WSB party who had it right. It's fucked up, and all the apologists royally piss me off.The sad part is the guy behind all this is probably going to end up in jail over this.

There is still plenty of time for the dump part to occur. Plus how many individuals did sell? Thousands? Millions?He didn't dump, though
like this assholeThere is still plenty of time for the dump part to occur. Plus how many individuals did sell? Thousands? Millions?
Just changing the pump-and-dump story to a David-vs-Goliath story doesn't make it any more legal to buy stock, pump up its price online, then sell it at elevated prices.

Two wrongs don't make a right. Illegally scamming others in WSBs (many of whom have now lost quite a lot of money) is not the proper way to go up against the "evil" shorters.like this
