It’s actually very simple to understand.

Wall Street supports the democrat leadership in Congress. DCUM by-and-large also supports dems. Therefore whatever dems in Congress want, DCUM aligns with. In this case, dems will move heaven and earth to protect billionaire hedge funds from something like this ever happening again. Because Wall Street writes big campaign checks. The “little guys” are the enemy in this case.

That is why DCUM is against the Reddit investors. They take their cues from dem leaders in Congress.

It’s really no more complicated than that.

DP. Disagree. I think most of the posts in this thread are on the side of the redditors (never thought I'd say that lol) but there's one poster who isn't. He thinks he knows better than everyone else (that actually sounds like a redditor) and that he's right and everyone else is wrong. I'm not sure I'd put him on the side of "Dems and Congress". More like he's on the side of the status quo and hedge funds. Which is what a lot of the talking heads on the mainstream media yesterday were doing, too.

+1.

I am as Dem as it gets. But I against Robinhood. I would not necessarily say I support the redditors. I wasn't really rooting for them before RH pulled that number yesterday.

There seems to be a couple of people bashing the redditors on this thread. And that's about it. Most of the comments are supporting them.

I'm a Dem and don't support either side. The stock market is basically about making free money, so it's inherently corrupt. What makes the redditors even worse is that they try to posit themselves as common everyman heroes while throwing away their money, while it could be used to help the truly downtrodden who are losing their homes during a pandemic.

Some of the same people dummie

I think far more of the newly rich redditors will be donating to food banks than the hedge funds would had they been able to keep their money

There are people on Reddit saying they took their “winnings” to pay for vet care, or a medical bill or pay rent/mtg payment. One of the WSJ interviewees said he was using the money to stave off bankruptcy

I missed the investment opportunity but am waiting on news that the hedge funds grovel for a new bailout. Wall St needs to stop eating avocado toast lunches and bootstraps through market volatility.

This administration better not even think of bailing these idiots out of this one.

Jen Psaki’s brother is a portfolio manager at Citadel. Janet Yellen has taken $800K in fees from Citadel.

Slap on the wrist and keep it moving.

Um, Janet Yellen is at the Treasury, not the SEC. Do you even know the difference? But hey, Diamond Hands!!

What’s your point? My point was about conflicts of interest in the Biden administration.

That sounds totally Trumpian. Any connection = a conflict of interest for the entire organization. I'm sure I could find members of the Biden administration who have equity positions in GameStop. Oh wait, look Blackrock made a billion dollars off of the Gamestop runup, and it's chock full of Biden connections! https://www.businessinsider.com/what-to-know-about-blackrock-larry-fink-biden-cabinet-facts-2020-12

See, that was easy.

You’re deflecting. Everything that you don’t like is “Trumpian”. Stop acting like regulatory capture and revolving door haven’t been issues for some time now.

This. Amen.

No, you need to demonstrate a conflict, not merely fish around for a connection. I just gave you a connection that works in the favor of Gamestop. So do they cancel each other out? Are they both meaningless? Or do you get to pick the one you like, without any evidence to support them?

It's exactly like Trump blaming a judge's Mexican heritage for blocking his travel ban. Or blaming WaPo stories on their connection to Bezos. Or insinuating that Mueller can't be trusted because he worked with Comey.

This is how conspiracy theorists work. They dig out connections and then without proof declare them to be evidence of a conspiracy.

DP.

I agree with you that this is how conspiracy theorists work. However, conspiracy theorists thrive in environments where there is a lot of cynism. If RH goes unpunished for this, cynism will multiply.

I am a poster on another thread who has 3 close friends/family members who voted for Trump. These men are highly educated, not racist and not poor. But they are highly cynical about everything. These are people who are playing by the rules and making a good life for themselves. Yet they are convinced that the rules don't apply to a small group of people and that these people control everything. They are convinced that it's only a matter of time before this group of people find a way to screw them over.

This RH event if not handled properly by this administration will lead to several other people becoming highly cynical. If we are going to fight conspiracy theorist, we have to fight instances like this that foster cynism.

Yes!

Radical transparency is the only way to combaf conspiracy thinking. The internet has closed the gap on the information disparity between elites and the masses.

IF you want radical transparency, then we should find out whether people on WallStreetBets are selling while they encourage others to buy or hold. That's radical transparency.

No need. I'm 99.9999999% certain that some did this. Certainly not illegal or even an abuse of power.

It is certainly illegal. It's securities fraud.

...
What Is Pump-and-Dump?

Pump-and-dump is a scheme that attempts to boost the price of a stock through recommendations based on false, misleading, or greatly exaggerated statements. The perpetrators of this scheme already have an established position in the company's stock and sell their positions after the hype has led to a higher share price. This practice is illegal based on securities law and can lead to heavy fines.

https://www.investopedia.com/terms/p/pumpanddump.asp

Too funny. Their statements about a gamma and now short squeeze were neither false nor misleading nor exaggerated. A random middle class dad from Boston had a good trading idea. That's it. There's not some giant conspiracy. Comet has no basement.

You seem to be unfamiliar with the things posted on the reddit. There is an ocean full of false, misleading, and exaggerated statements.

If this blows up, the SEC will tie individuals' statements to their trades, and then we'll see if there is a conspiracy.

You seem to be having a problem sorting through the way internet nerds talk nowadays. It sucks getting old, I know. But Comey has no baseny.
