Re: stocks in meltdown mode
Yeah this happens after almost every election. Investors crave stability they don't care who is in charge of the game as long as they know the rules.

Re: stocks in meltdown mode
Thanks President Trump for saving the economy and delivering a Covid vaccine in less than 10 months against a plague the world has never seen.
Appreciate trump eliminating the Russia threat against our elections as well. The most successful election in history right? Joe can just sit in his basement while trump continues to deliver

Re: stocks in meltdown mode
Look at the policies homeland security agency implemented during the trump administration and how state agencies were consulted to improve election vulnerabilities in the voting process. There was a strategy and it was a bi partisan in the house to get it done...which happened.
Thanks again bigly!

Re: stocks in meltdown mode
But most know how this will end for the “retail” investor
It’s a super interesting story...but E.A.W.

Re: stocks in meltdown mode
My little brother is a wallstreetbets member. He cashed out 2 days ago.
Big money guys shouldnt be able to short sale (sell stock they dont own on assumption it will go down and they will then buy the stock). Hedgefund big money guys target a stock. Sell a stock (they dont technically own) for $10 bc the volume them and their other hedges do it at in unison will drive the price down. Then they buy the stock for $8 or whatever it goes down to complete the previous sell at $10, pocketing $2 for a stock they never owned. Meanwhile, single mom and dads (who actually own the stock) watch their stock price go from $10 to $8 over night not bc of a companys PE or financials (things that are supposed to dictate stock price and market activity) but bc some hedgefund investors decided to target gamestop or whatever stock for a short sale cash grab while on their yachts or some strip club. It blows my mind this is legal. So wallstreetbets decided to buy gamestop and not stop buying gamestop so instead of the price going down it went up and up bc wallstreetbets didnt stop buying. Now these hedgefunds who thought they could buy the stock at $8 and make a quick $2 ...... have to buy the stock at like $300 and are losing $290 or where ever they cut their losses. I am not a stock person, this is my layperson understanding and I could be wrong or way over simplyfing things to the point of being inaccurate. This is like a modern day robin hood. |

Re: stocks in meltdown mode
Two of the major hedge funds targeted by investors on Reddit pushing up the stock price of GameStop have waved expensive flags of defeat and sold out of their investments, losing millions of dollars.
On Wednesday, the stock price of GameStop (GME), the mall retailer for video games, soared 134%, a staggering increase of 748% in just one week after Reddit investors launched a chaotic short squeeze attack to increase the price and screw over major investors. Wall Street hedge funds, including Citron Research and Melvin Capital, had shorted the stock, meaning they bet against it and needed it to drop in price in order for their investments to be successful. https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article...-street-losses After the flurry of activity on Wednesday, TD Ameritrade, one of the free brokerage apps commonly used by young investors, briefly restricted trades on some stocks, including GameStop and AMC (another target of the WSB crowd) “in the interest of mitigating risk for our company and clients." That frustrated many who saw the halt as Wall Street firms stopping investors from making trades that would improve their personal wealth. ------------------ Crappy how the hedge fund guys were able to get TD and robinhood to pause activity so the could regroup ... at the expense of people like me and you being able to make money off it. if pride didnt get in my way, id make my little brother my financial advisor. the language he uses sounds like Japanese to me. |

Re: stocks in meltdown mode
I sold AMC yesterday at a 400% win. I bought a bit of AMC and Cinemark a while ago thinking they will rebound. At this point Cinemark also has been a very nice growth.
