A mate of mine has money in this , its superb sticking it to the man, I have Binance but haven’t put any money in crypto before and haven’t clue but apparently you can get doge via this and its really fucking up the short sellers ha ha! $70 Billion the short sellers were down at one point!
From what I understand is that some of these amatuers are absolutely resolute and they’re not selling now! All they have to do is hold the line and they’ll send quite a few of these firms to the wall, just don’t sell! You’re worse than the shorters if you do!
Thing is the damage is done.
Gamestop at $20 then hits $800.
Those who bought at $20 are making money as they dribble stocks out but the Hedge Funds have to buy & give back borrowed shares.
Obviously this late in the game anyone paying $800 to get in the game is just dumb.
Finding other shorts will be made harder but they will find ways.
Love it
And this is what has kicked it all off, they were continuing to sell to short sellers but not the reddit gang, all they have to do is not sell, I think the are though, dogecoin is down 50% from yesterday, this is the coin used to buy the shares mainly.
A combined effort and looking at what the short sellers are buying will still fuck them over, the game is up, this is massive it really is.
I am going to try and get onto the next one as it will happen, blackberry, US Airlines are mooted.
I may at looking buy £50 of one later just to see as if the shorters have already bought those they’ll be dumping very quickly ha ha!
I think the one thing I didn’t like about the movie The Big Short is that hey made out like the financial crisis was the first time a short had been invented.
Shorting has been going on for decades, hasn’t it?
Yep, for as long as there have been stock exchanges
The biggest issue in my opinion is that there are a lot more companies that are vulnerable to this kind of attack because of the amount of debt that is loaded into them. Doesn’t take too harder a push to put them over the edge.
Debenhams is a perfect example bought for ÂŁ300m when it was making ÂŁ150 m per year. All of the stores were sold and leased back at daft rents. The owners took ÂŁ1.2bn in dividends financed by debt and the proceeds of the store sale, they then floated it and ran off into the sunset ÂŁ900m better off - three years to wreck a decent company
