GameStop.
Seems like the squeeze is over, no?
Where are you coming up with that?

The only time a hedge fund has been bailed out was in 1998--Long Term Capital Management. Even then it was a group of banks (note I am using that word correctly) that collectively recapitalized it under the auspices of the Federal Reserve. LTCM was liquidated in 2000.
Why is everyone confusing hedge funds with banks?
Most of the people who are involved in this have no idea how any of it works.
More people than you might think know enough imo. It’s not that people are confusing the two. It’s that they are correctly assessing banks and hedge funds as the same type of unaccountable Wall Street villains who succeed by constantly cheating the system and paying off the refs.
Banks are regulated and supervised and HFs are not. Dodd Frank put in prohibitions on banks' proprietary trading; prop trading is the whole point of an HF.

it's more riding on the meme coattails than anything. short interest was high but nowhere near GME. and nowhere near 100%.

You’re an idiot. Corporations hate their short sellers. This was a massive favor to GME.
Exactly. What kind of low life bets on a company going down, and actively driving the stock price down by shorting!
If you believe in market efficiency, the price of Game Stop should go down, it’s going to go the way of Blockbuster.
Does anyone know how many of the original shorts have not yet been covered? When stock price was around $10 or so.
This is not true. Physical sales of games have not decreased the way movie rentals have and consoles are selling in huge numbers
**caveat** but of course GameStop will go down because right now it’s on an insane bubble. But they won’t go bankrupt if they survive covid imo
It’s just a matter of time. . .
the current share price has nothing to do with the business and thats OK. there is currently baked in demand that short sellers will have to buy more shares than exist. they have to buy the shares eventually. after they buy them to cover their shorts and that guaranteed demand is gone its hot potato for everyone else to not be the one holding the bag as the price returns to earth.
same thing happened to volkswagen in 2008. this isnt unprecedented its just the first time a person just playing with walking around money can easily participate.
+1 Succinct explanation of what is happening.
Agree. This is correct. So what we can take from this is that it’s almost certain that the stock price has not yet peaked.
