Paper hands
Tucked into a ball and rolled at $244 this morning. Good luck to everyone else still holding. I'm sure I'll be back in soon enough.

Solid question. If we’re talking boglehead approved Costco couches then 1-1.5. Spouse approved designer couch- 0.5. I didn’t have much skin in this go round. I’ll be back for the next rocket trip.

Anyone read anything good on the SECs take on all this? If one remained silent but bought some of this or other meme stocks first found on wallstreetbets in the hopes it would go up (speculation) does that run afoul of any regs?

Re: [GameStop GME trading mega-thread]
Nothing illegal or sketchy about speculating. There isn’t anything illegal about posting on an Internet forum like WSB that you are going to hold until a certain price or encouraging others to do the same. Posting theories about how much short exposure may be remaining is not illegal and no reasonable person should be investing based on the theories of a Reddit poster.KeepinItPositive wrote: ↑Sun May 30, 2021 10:59 am Anyone read anything good on the SECs take on all this?

Those who hold licenses are held to higher standards of course as reasonable people might feel like they could rely on the advice of a professional.
There are unsophisticated people who have made a lot and lost a lot of money though.

AMC sold 8.5 million shares to Mudrick Capital and raised $230.5 million. The cash is to be used primarily for acquisition purposes.

I bet the SECs take is similar to if you were at a cookout over the weekend and you were talking about stocks with people and decided to buy stock today.

Re: [GameStop GME trading mega-thread]
The changing tech is what I'm most interested in, and it's what makes me so bewildered about GME. I'm very interested in what comes of the Epic-Apple lawsuit, because it could have really wide ramifications for how online marketplaces function in the years to come. Cloud gaming seems to be where the industry is headed, but there are lots of technical hurdles to overcome. The laws of physics ensure there will always be a latency issue between servers and the local device, there's also the social question of how much that latency matters to the consumer. If there are enough 'casual' gamers who don't care about latency, is that enough to overcome the resistance of the hard core gamers who insist on a local device? Predictive AI/machine learning could theoretically fix or mitigate many of those issues, but there's a long way to go; two-way interactivity (or more, for multiplayer games) is way, way more complex than compressing video in a single direction. The two companies with the biggest advantage in AI - Google and Nvidia - also seem to be the least interested in cloud gaming. Throw in the covid-related supply chain issues, and you've got a really complex situation that can end in an infinite number of ways.SlowMovingInvestor wrote: ↑Thu May 27, 2021 4:30 pm The whole device/cloud gaming market -- including the giants like Google, MSFT, AMZN, Apple and the likes of Epic and Steam is an interesting topic, though.
What does all this have to do with GME's price? I haven't the slightest idea. I suspect the short sellers see all the same things I do and are bearish as a result, but as we've seen, those long-term issues have almost nothing to do with the price in the short run. It's entirely possible that ten years from now, people will be saying the responsible thing to do would have been for Gamestop to close up shop, sell assets, and distribute the proceeds to shareholders, except the hedge funds ran up the prices to trade on short-term volatility and left investors holding the bag.

The market cap of GME is around $18 billion. The question that comes to mind is whether I would pay that much today for their FCF stream?
No.

Re: [GameStop GME trading mega-thread]
i bought the first go around and made a decent chunk of money. after it all settled out, i was talking to a guy at work and was like its sitting at $40 and its been sitting there for a while. i feel like we should buy some and see what happens. we didn't. jumped to 250 within a few days. we were both like crap. 2 weeks ago i was like it had been hovering around 150 i wonder if its going to make another run....we should buy. we didn't.
we have determined we hate money.

Put toe in at the $120's because the call premiums were so huge that it sort of gave me some courage. The buy-writes worked, though it nearly out-ran me a couple of times.
Trying to decide if I should just sell Jul 400 calls for a pile of premium and some near puts for protection, and just don't look. If it runs to $500, who cares.

Re: [GameStop GME trading mega-thread]
There are pretty much subreddits for anything investing related, but I think you're asking for social media sentiment analysis and that's going to be an analytics thing.
Apparently, it used to be wallstreetbets in 2020, but GME may have forever changed it. I don't really know how the subreddits are going to shake out after the GME phenomenon.
As for GME and AMC, it started on wallstreetbets subreddit, then it kinda diverged into other subreddits like gme, amcstock, and superstonk to name a few. It's important to read everything with a grain of salt because there is good information and bad information. I tend to use the daily chats in different subreddits for breaking news or simply entertainment. I read through the due diligence posts sometimes and I also google certain keywords to see what is being search engine optimized and how it's written and actually correlated to the action.
It's certainly been quite the learning experience.
Re: [GameStop GME trading mega-thread]
I wonder if CXW or GEO have potential to get squeezed. Both have high short interests and CXW is actually sound on fundamentals if you are somewhat bullish on prison REITs.
The sillier the market’s behavior, the greater the opportunity for the business like investor.

I just browse wsb top posts and daily discussion thread to see what the most chatter is this week.
I have loaded up both yesterday and more today on BB deep OTM calls, already up quite a bit, but hoping for BB rocket to keep orbiting one more day before I dump.
Nokia and MVIS are also being bandied about, as are some other stocks.

Went long BB in Feb for 10k shares at $11, been down for a while. Interesting game playing the meme stocks as an index investor. This is a small portion of my account that I’m hoping 70/30 odds will reduce FIRE age by +/- 2 years. If goes to zero max loss per firecalc would be 6 mo or so.. seems worth playing at the moment.

Re: [GameStop GME trading mega-thread]
Adam Aron is smart to strike while the iron is hot by preparing a share offering. This is a rare opportunity for AMC.
Edit: AMC successfully sold 11.55 million shares at an average price of approximately $50.80. Bravo, Adam Aron.

Re: [GameStop GME trading mega-thread]
So, AMC executives can continue to improve their personal bottom lines in terms of compensation at the expense of purchasers of these new offerings. Like GME. Oh, they'll talk a big game about new growth opportunities with their hoards of cash, but as we know, only a small percentage of stocks at any period really propel market indices to higher levels over time. Most likely, these management teams will under deliver and if by any miracle they do deliver, it's most likely priced in (and then some, not even counting the additional dilution).
History is written by the victors, but there will be more victims in the end. The distribution of individual stock returns will most certainly bring this to fruition.
But for now, let the good times roll.

"The Journal", which is a podcast produced by the Wall Street Journal, has a special five-part series on the GameStop phenomenon. The first two episodes dropped last Sunday 5/30/21, and future episodes are expected to drop on the next four Sundays.

if that's your attitude, I will just mention that I noticed that RKT calls are saturated again. They don't talk about it much on Wall street Bets and I don't know who plans this stuff. I only know that people are offering actual money for $50 RKT calls expiring June 18. So somebody expects something.

GME volume today is under 8 million so far. In January, I think volume was over 150 million. From what I read, people believe when the real squeeze happens, the volume will be very high for several days. This is not advice.bugleheadd wrote: ↑Tue Jun 08, 2021 9:37 am so the MOASS hasnt squozen yet? this is just the beginning?
To me, it seems like the big whales who are short are trying to minimize losses and are also going to swallow the smaller shorts who may get liquidated in the nearish future.
From my experience watching the price, it will be extremely volatile during surges.
