GME hit high of $248.9 after Elon's tweet. Melvin is finished!

Good. Let this be a lesson to other funds doing the same crap.

Edit: I wonder if this is going to have lasting implications: other funds doing this pull out of their naked short positions before WSB finds them causing upward pressure and momentum on the market. Euphoria ahead? Stonks up forever?

Everyone has to make their own decision when to sell but I look at $200+ being good price to sell. You don't want to be like the greedy shorts who kept stepping on GME when it was down below $4. Looking at the situation as an outsider, I thought if Elon commented on GME, that would sent it to Mars. Now he has. I would use it as opportunity to exit tomorrow. GME can definitely keep going up but once you kill the shorts, who's going to buy?

Bulls make money, Bears make money, Pigs get slaughtered. Short hedge funds were pigs. You don't want to be like them and try to hold forever.
Right. GME volatility is even higher now I bet as a bunch of people are going to exit. People buying in at this point may still have room to make money, but at those prices per share, it's going to be a slow climb with a lot of downside when it topples. Those who bought in under $20 and all the way up are flying high.

Just did a search for MAC on WSB, there have been posts on it for some time now.
Been on Reddit for almost a year and I didn't hear of Wsb until Cramer mentioned them on tv a couple days ago. Now I'm posting on Wsb and even bought some Blackberry, BB, that Wsb is raving about today at around $19.

This is literally Robinhood vs King Arthur but in real life.

So many just earned a life changing sum of money. Good for them. What way to start 2021.

This will definitely spill over. Retail just took pound of flesh from the rich fucks. They won't forget. They will strike back. But now rich boys have to be little nervous. Expect people to go after other heavily shorted stocks and shorts scramble to cover. The markets just got whole lot more interesting. Power to the people!

I would have never even considered buying GME stocks but can't help but wish I had! lol. Hindsight is 20/20 when it comes to this stuff though.

Sold off all my Dynacert shares today. I made around $90 profit with them. I did not really anticipate them to move much from here and I was surprised they even went up at all, I felt they were a loss. Around $1200 cash so was going to put it on the credit line but decided to put it into victoria gold and bought 100 shares of that. I want to sell off my Gowest gold shares but I'm losing like $900 right now so that would be a bad time to sell. They are suppose to actually start full production this summer so I'll see what happens over next few years.

I might start looking more at other investment vehicles though like GICs or Index funds which were mentioned in another thread. I don't see an option for index funds with my broker site but I might look at other sites like Wealthsimple or Quest trade. I see commercials for them all the time. GICs can be a good way to go too though, they are basically like stocks that contain many other stocks. Similar to index funds.

So which rich fucks do we fuck over next? I've got plenty of ammo after my GME and BB and PLTR wins.

Robinhood will never come through in real time when the server is hammered. I couldn't take advantage of the dip and thus I promptly opened a Charles Schwab account.

There's many robinhood equivalents now. Not just the schwab, vanguard, and fidelity.... But also weBull and stuff.

How about that nice little $365 peak pre market for $GME? Landslide appears to have started now, see how this thing keeps working itself out. Best TV show I've watched in a long time though!

EDIT:

Also if you watch other high short-interest stocks such as $AMC, it's mimicking $GME action. If you think the squeeze may still be imminent today, you could potentially get in at a much lower price point and live vicariously through another much cheaper ticker symbol.

this guy nails it:

I can't get over the creep factor of everything in that video--the dude's nitrile gloves, eye shadow, evil lair warehouse with cheap Chinese stuffed toys in plastic bags on a shelves, some random techy looking stuff in the rest of the background, stereo microscrope in the foreground for some likely nonsense reason....what the hell am I watching? lol

Dang when I posted this, $AMC's price was in the $8.50-$10 range. It's now peaked at $17.90... looks like I should have been buying $AMC stock instead of wasting my time on AT..

No. He's obviously using the microscope to verify he successfully removed all of his semen from the stuffed bears in the background before selling them on eBay.

Should I roll the small amount of cash I made yesterday on GME into BB Or AMC today? I feel like BB has actual potential and AMC will bounce back, but it's risky considering fear/habits/lost opportunity as time creeps on and they keep having to pay rent.

I've never posted on WSB, but doubt I could get an answer over there....everyone's still talking about GME.

I told my wife yesterday I should probably just buy couple thousand shares of AMC while it was in the $4.50 range just to see if the wild action would spillover to it. Would been nice quick money if I had pulled the trigger but I said to myself you stayed out of GME because you didn't believe in the company. I sure don't believe in AMC even more so why risk being stuck with shares in company I don't like. So I voted to stay disciplined and keep doing what has been successful for me. But in hindsight, that was such dumb move because what was my max loss potential? Probably 20-30% at most. Meanwhile, upside was 100-500%. That's a trade you take every time. Scared money don't make money.

I've been staying out for the same reason (don't believe in the company). And while I'm nowhere near as experienced as you are, I feel a little more justified in my decision at least when others with experience think along the same lines

I did scalp some from $AMC this morning, but pennies compared to where I could be.

I was up when the CNBC news broke that Melvin Capital covered their short yesterday. First thing that popped in my head was that was such BS lie. Those fuckers didn't cover. And Citron Andrew Left put out Youtube video this morning claiming he covered most of his GME short in the $90s. Maybe, but Andrew Left is small fish like me. He's one man shop and my portfolio size is probably similar or maybe even bigger than his.

Shit is going to be crazy, Brace yourself. Big boys are hurt bad and they're pulling every dirty trick in the book.

Post your loss porn Melvin Capital. Then I might believe you.

dang, the aftermarket trading always pisses me off. How do I get to be a Master of the Universe and have access to that nonsense--is it not for peons?

There goes my attempt to blindly do something fun with AMC. I think my order will be cancelled, lol.

And where is all of that money coming from? short squeeze as the shorts desperately try to cover and sell it all off?

Thing is with these kind of losses is that you don't hear from the horse's mouth that they covered. If you do, it's a lie. They're trying to save their butt and lie so they can cover.

When you know it's the truth is later after the fund blew up and others tell you so and so blew up their account. No one believes Gabe of Melvin Capital covered all their GME short yesterday. Partial. Probably. All. No way.

Exactly. When theaters are back in business again, they're going to forgo at least a month of popcorn sales to payback the loans they took out for 2020's rent. They just have too much liability with limited business paired with uncertainty. If I had more liquidity built into my trading right now, I would buy in just to take another short ride.

EDIT: AMC dipped to $11 and change and is back up to $17. Like I said...I wish I had more settled cash in my accounts to drop for those gains. Maybe one day I'll have more cash free to drop into these wild rides. I'm just hoping to flip my returns a few more times on these waves. The news is driving the markets down hard today from what it looks like. I think between COVID surging and Biden changing up oil, it's causing uncertainty about energy prices. Hopefully the markets recover some after next week when the smoke clears and fear subsides a little....AFTER all of the monthly buys hit so we can at least get a few extra shares for our buck in our mutual funds.

Holy shit GME is trading at ~$350 now.

This is far more entertaining than the Hertz saga.
You're seeing history in the making. They will make movie about this. The Big Squeeze instead of the Big Short.

This is bigger than when George Soros broke the Bank of England with his British pound trade. This GME infinity squeeze trade is legendary stuff.
