    In the end GME will be back to $40. From $40-$500 there will be no hedge funds long
    WSB gain 3 million subs in the last week. These are the more causal investors
    They will be holding the bag
    So in the end WSB will have caused many less educated small individual investers to lose billions of dollars
    In the end the hedge funds will most likely made the most money

    So the early WSB guys make all the money and they throw more causal investors under the bus

    Is this really WSB and the hedgefunds working together to fleece the small less-educated investor?

    OP is very likely a "clueless millennial" if you look at his posts; the inexperience with market dynamics is obvious. The whole concept of his is complete bs. The short sellers were "manipulating" stock prices themselves and it was open to attack. Now people are paying attention to new recommendations like long some Silver stocks that frankly had been beaten down by unseen forces for weeks. So what are we to say about posters on these message boards that make GOOD value play suggestions ? Markets are NOT efficient; finding inefficiencies and exploiting them is as old as time anyone trading options knows the big players are manipulating stocks openly especially on expiry dates.

    The only reason some of these stocks went up so much was the huge size of short selling going on by these hedge funds. Essentially they were trying to drive these companies out of business and make out like bandits doing so. This time it didn't work. The fact some lost billions because of one stock highlights what idiots the managers at some of these hedge funds are. Memories of the subprime crisis and banks taking on all sorts of risk based on greed seemingly thinking they were immune to it. Why is anyone bailing them out ? Let them fucking die they shouldn't be in this business.

    The whole industry ( hedge funds ) is rife with idiots these days. The idiots should die a natural death not get bailed out. The risks in play were public knowledge. It's the bail outs that distort the markets creating these risk takers who refuse to acknowledge down side risk of their actions. Sub prime mortgage crisis was all about bankers abusing the system enriching themselves until the party was over. Seems like the hedge fund industry is the problem now regulate them don't allow a firm to have billions in risk based on one useless stock.

    How can hedgefunds, who lost over $91 billions, still end with profits??? BS.
    The should recover more than $91 billions in a few days??? ROFLMAO.
    All these funds can even not make all together 91 billions in a FULL year.

    How .. algos
    Buying up
    Selling calls
    puts

    Only hedge funds and HFT have the means to move a market like GME
    Reddit did start the move up but the big money that wasn't stuck short surly ran this up and will run it down
    It will be interesting to see how many shorts this stock will have after this cools down.
    of course they will be better hedged

    The problem isn't an individual doing it rather than an institution. The problem is when an individual does it and an institution, i.e. political donor loses because of that individual.
