I still don't understand how short selling is an actual thing.

If I had a controlling interest in a publicly traded company, why would I want to lend out shares of my stock instead of selling them outright? It doesn't make sense, unless
all these fuckers are in on it and let their friends borrow stock to short and make money for themselves before returning it to the original owner.

Short sellers were blamed for the Wall Street Crash of 1929 Regulations governing short selling were implemented in the United States in 1929 and in 1940. Political fallout from the 1929 crash led Congress to enact a law banning short sellers from selling shares during a downtick; this was known as the uptick rule and was in effect until 3 July 2007, when it was removed by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC Release No. 34-55970). - Wikipedia

regarding shorting, what happens if a stock is over vauled? you can make money on both sides of a stocks movement. China stock exhange wont let stocks go down because it would be bad.

shorting in a of itself isnt bad, what happened with game stop is they shorted more shares than are in circulation. trying to murder a fucking video game company.

If the Financial Media, and regulators were nt all sucking eachothers dick. The simple solution would be to limit how many shorts can be done on a stock, and let Melvin capital fucking burn.

Again anytime a politician looks into regulating the bigs boys they suddenly find the media running with stories about the prostitutes they fuck.

Also institution vs retail investors is gonna get good because the whole point of these trading apps are to feed your data into deep learning AI quantum tendie machines to learn better way to fuck the people using the app.

The fact RH is gonna burn might be setting the plan back

And again if the shorts on GME were just more restrained we wouldnt have this bullshit.

The seething and conspirism of bourgeois anarchists is funny.

Thousands of people are thoroughly brainwashed so that anything remotely hinted by anyone to be even vaguely, conceivably, related to anything Trump IS THE ENEMY 😡

Realize this, everyone, if you haven't already: All of these folk are human beings and must be regarded as such (sanctity of life, etc.) but make no mistake, they are not "people". It's not a person who is claiming AOC is supporting a conspiracy by the Trump family/voters to change the country via Gamestop stocks. It's not a person, even someone you thought you knew, claiming that bleeding hedge fund parasites is bad because "white supremacy".
That's not who you think it is...

Spend millions to go to Ivy League schools to make contact with the wealthiest elites on the planet.

Make billions of dollars through predatory practices.

Get completely bankrolled, liquidated, and the banks covering your debts have to pay interest and go out of business by a bunch of NEETs who just wanted uncensored games and to jerk off to anime tiddies that you couldn't leave well-enough alone, even though they were hurting nobody.

tricking you into making money for (((them))) while cleaning your bank account out in the process. That's an important part too, since plenty of (((them))) won big time from this little scheme like this one guy named Cohen who had 13% of Gamestop stock, guess what, he gained well over a billion dollars on this.

So that's really it, then. All the flailing and freezing of trading was just to build further hype. How long has wsb been a thing? You think it was just a gayop between to bankers wagering on if one of them could mobilize the internet or not?

For the lender, it's very low risk with a medium reward. As much of a meme as it is, stocks do tend to go up. The level of short manipulation we're seeing only happens when a company is on its last legs anyway, because it literally can't work if even a relatively small amount of people take the counter trade. Gamestop is/was a dying business model, some people just got way ahead of themselves when trying to call the time of death.

The real question is, why would you want someone to short a stock that you are long on and potentially have it lose value?

Was able to break some ground with my dad (extreme boomer) over this happening. Finally was able to show him what the internet allows people to do and how corrupt the markets are by the rich hedge fund's reactions to plebs making money. That cunt Pelosi's reaction was also extremely telling, talking about "looking into this gamestop issue". Fuck all these people, take my energy please, Burn wallstreet down.

Just felt you guys should know.

This is OCCUPY 2.0, so this means they will enact a more aggressive globalist/politically correct agenda from here on out as a result of what these Reddit idiots are doing. You have all been warned. If this was legit it wouldn't be praised so widely by the media like it is right now.

Once the company has offerred the shares publically they don’t really control who can buy or sell them. I guarantee you gamestop has been seething for a couple years at what melvin and co are doing.

Imagine turning your dying retail business into the second largest ecommerce platform for games behind amazon, getting a slice of everything bought out of the xbox store, and gracefully pivoting out of retail but your stock price is at the bottom unable to nudge up because (((melvin))) shorted you over 140% of the available stock.
