Stock picks

I heard somewhere that these funds are considering falsely releasing a short position while taking a much larger long position and hoping to profit from the wsb mob.  Interesting times.
 
Wouldn't suprise me...Like Ackmans short in March...take advantage of all the fools out there and profit...

It?s douches like Ackman that screw up the average investor. This guy shot off his mouth on the 18th. Tanked the markets after he had established a massive short position. Then covered, pocketed 3 billion that he promptly put into the exact stocks he highlighted as in trouble. That is market manipulation and those the listened to him should be embarrassed.

Bill Ackman warned ?hell is coming? because of virus: He then pocketed $2B in bets against markets

Bill Ackman turned a net profit of more than $2 billion on Monday after he sold his bets against the market less than one week after warning CNBC that ?hell is coming?
He then used those proceeds to wager that existing Pershing bets, including hotel operator Hilton Worldwide, would rebound.
The Ackman about-face came less than one week after he told CNBC that the United States was in jeopardy unless the White House closed the country.
That he added to his Hilton position using the money he earned from his bets against the market is notable after saying the stock could be headed to zero.

Yeah I agree.
Some of these people do not know what is going on. This one person thought Nokia was an EV. Lol  He was mistaking it for Nikola the Ev company.

I love how all the talking heads are calling Wall Street Bets "retards" and ?amateurs?  when they are the ones who actually understood the gamma squeeze unlike the hedge fund suits that got rekted

Can someone please explain the madness surrounding GME speculation?  I'm not sure what subReddit has done here, but they just manipulated the market big time over the past few days. 

Now, billionaire investors are getting skin in the game and benefiting from this ridiculousness!  SMH.

1 hedge fund blows up 1,000,000 retail investors ? ?Efficient market?

1,000,000 retail investors blow up 1 hedge fund ? ?Market manipulation?

There is nothing wrong with short selling...like playing the Don't Come line.  Just need to always marry it with a call just in case.  These are big boys going against the mob.  Would not want to bump heads with Blackrock in this little standoff.  Robin Hood will lose big in the end.  Well as the old saying will prove true again...A fool and his money....

Not necessary. When industrialists sucked lifeblood out of workers, unions came along and weakened the power of the elite. Sure it was painful transition for some or most but in the end they were better off.

I see this WSB as a revolt of masses against wall street elites. Will some 'retards' as they call themselves lose a shirt? Yes. The billions that few short sellers are losing are bing redistributed across a much broader base. As a whole I am hoping that enough of whales take a lesson from this and overall manipulation of the market reduces by a notch.
 
A tout is a tout. A pyramid scheme is a pyramid scheme.

Jimho, the hedge funds are the ones playing legitimately.

Most covered their positions yesterday or the day before, they probably will make more money now in the chaos than before.

Looks like RobinHood has blocked me from buying GME.  So much for a free market.

The onliners are starting to cover their arses.  Even though you make the calls they still have liability from the "suitability" flank if lots of clients lose money (which they will).  Schwab lost a case in the early 2000's (after the dot.com bust) when they thought they were only an order taker and had no responsibility if their clients committed financial suicide through their services...they were wrong, and that set the precedent.  The cycle continues today...Soon a Fed or  Treasury official will make an "Irrational Exuberance" comment.
 
Unmask WSB.

The initial tout on Jan 13th caused 140M surge in trading volume in a day.  That's $2.8B, or 100,000 retail investors taking $30,000 swings on a reddit tout.

300,000 taking $10,000 swings?

Oh wait, Robinhood average investor portfolio size is under $5000.

 
Anyone else sense how appropriate it is that "Robinhood" has been at the forefront of this chaos?

Not supportive at all of the casino that WS has morphed into. Yes, it's always been a rigged game, but now there are so many other ways to appropriate wealth from outsiders to insiders.

If anything comes out of this, I'd hope it would be a per trade tax (buy and sell) that Harris was promoting when she was a candidate. I' m not turning this into a political thread here, but realistically some sort of Washington intervention is likely to occur once GameStop et al finally settle out. Let's hope the curbs will be meaningful.

Without the government...it never makes money...

Tesla announces first EVER annual profit with earnings of $721 million in 2020 - but Elon Musk's firm falls short of Wall Street expectations
Tesla saw its stock soar in 2020 to make it the world?s most valuable automaker
The company earned $721 million, capped by a $270 million profit in Q4
It was Tesla's sixth straight quarterly net profit after years of mostly losses
Tesla said that excluding special items, it made $2.24 per share for the year, falling short of Wall Street expectations of $2.45
Earlier this month Tesla's market cap passed $800 billion for the first time ever 

Once again the company needed regulatory credits purchased by other automakers in order to make a profit. Without $1.58 billion in credits for the year, Tesla would have lost money. Other automakers buy the credits when they can't meet emissions and fuel economy standards.
