/r/wsb autists taking on a wallstreet hedgefund. Elon musk involved as always / wallstreetbets / gamestop - Gamergate 2: financial boogaloo

If these idiots were actually smart they would have spent $1000 on an 80/20 split back in 2013 between AMD and the WWE, the 20 going to AMD because iirc AMD stock was like a nickel a share at that point. Nowadays you easily could've cashed out considering AMD's Zen architecture absolutely destroys anything Intel has to offer and WWE has gotten major TV deals via NBCUniversal and Fox because both are desperate for any sort of live content.

I only bring this up because I remember some incel on r/wallstreetbets rejecting advice to get stocks in both because they're both run by women (Lisa Su is the CEO of AMD and Stephanie McMahon runs the business side of WWE)

They're hoping the average person doesn't know whats going, and only sees some stocks going up.
They'll pass laws that will protect hedge-funds, banks, etc. from this ever happening again, all under the guise of helping the common person.

They'll also use this to justify MORE censorship of the internet. They'll use this to argue that all discussion online should be heavily monitored/censored.

You can say that about any economist. Economics is an art pretending to be a science and is basically people making (sometimes) educated guesses.

Remember one of my economics professors told me apparently the Queen was in a meeting with a bunch of economists after the 2008 crash and asked "If you are all so clever, how come none of you saw this coming" and they all just sheepishly sat there in silence like a bunch of embarassed children.

We've got a whole thread over there with despondent people complaining about how you can't fight back against the progressive utopia. You can always fight back! This clearly isn't just about making money - I'm seeing Joker burning money memes, I'm seeing people say they think they'll lose money but they're going to buy a share just to stick it to the corrupt shorters, I see righteous celebration like that "based black dude" above, I see people talking about how George Soros tried to short the British pound (look it up - Black Wednesday). People are loving this.

I keep telling people - the enemy of the super-wealthy isn't the poor. The poor have little power and what they do have they're afraid to use. The enemy of the super-wealthy is the Middle Class. That's who really scares them.

Yeah, economics make sociology look like a hard science.
