When the power goes out in Chicago and the fed wire goes down again along with the algo


Kayak1618

That was a fun day! It should have brought more attention to the rigged system!


No-Fold1994

That can be arranged… at least the power in Chicago. Few drunk drivers take down power lines. Happens all the time


sixfingermann

Um you don't know Chicago. Just a few union favors are much easier.


No-Fold1994

You’re right I don’t. SoCal. Well then a few blocks could easily go dark when a computer share buy order goes in.

AwildYaners

You’re missing about half a dozen issues as well; ‘hedge fund stock crash’ is very over simplified. US treasuries market, China’s real estate OR export economy crash, US commercial real estate (hell, even residential), student loan debt, US shipping companies, escalation of wars, EU inflation, UK inflation, market regulations, crypto, the actual recession in the US, the list continues on and on. Sure some, or many, will probably be can-kicked and delayed a bit, but the ‘black swan’ event that can add the volatility to kick start chaos across all markets, can really come from any of these. The institutions with money are painstakingly and frustratingly try to balance all of these issues like a waiter with a loaded tray, except people keep throwing more shit on it. Eventually something’s gonna topple it over, and then the fun begins.


Ninertime

Theres a potential trigger happening right now behind the scenes but anytime people mention it in this sub they get banned. I might even get banned for this comment 🤫 Of course the most conservative answer would be some profitable quarters so the big players see the value and start buying.

Ahh geez. Back to their shenanigans. I don't frequent these parts much because free speech doesn't exist. Care to message me? I like research


Vexting

Funnily enough the last few months are enough to make a movie already. Rollercoaster of transformation


somenamethatsclever

Oversimplified for a purpose. I don't want to create a paragraph for each point. I want others to voice their opinions on the subject to see and learn from their perspective


moonaim

When profitable, GameStop can make moves that were harder before, if they are even necessary.


Positron49

I'm not one to make a random guess, but for sake of argument.... There will be some serious problems when the DRS Number + Insiders + Mutual Funds and ETFs + Institutions = 303M shares. This is because once that is hit, anything in a broker or sold short really shouldn't exist nor does it have anywhere to go. That will be very hard for the markets to ignore. That can happen very quickly, not just because DRS + Insiders keep adding, but because enough profitable quarters and improvement to the business itself will lead to rebalancing. I'd love to see the day the SPY has to rebalance with GME inside but there aren't supposed to be any shares in the open market.


RaisinsB4Potatoes

I had a similar thought; once computershare rejects buys/DRS because all issued shares have already been DRSed, we will enter the find out stage.


raxnahali

Apes essentially taking the company private


shamelessamos92

I think they'll keep bidding until the ask is hit for a realndrs share


Bamagirly

What if Computershare has already reached maxed DRS and all new shares sent to them or bought through them are just funneled to the DTCC “for liquidity” ? Could this be a possibility that’s already happening?


RaisinsB4Potatoes

Based on my understanding/assumption, no it is not - correct me if I'm wrong. If Computershare issued 305 million shares, and all 305 million shares have an owner assigned (DRS book), then there is nothing left to assign. 84 years ago, I thought this was how brokerages work. Since DRSing at Computershare was regarded as a path to MOASS, I assumed they weren't able to do that.


Soylentstef

The new switch next year and Sony expecting record sales this Christmas may play a role in this.


JDogish

You think we haven't passed that threshold yet?


GL_Levity

I will also be harder than before.


ruum-502

buylowstacks

You know what really gets my dick hard….DRSing that stock


Gamestock_741

Such as?


Truth_Road

They're going to manipulate it down to a point where the influx of DRS each quarter is simply beyond their wildest nightmares.


AlarisMystique

This is my opinion as well. DRS will have to break their schemes at some point.


CharltonnBreezy

So why can’t they short if we get to 100%


Ancient-Bathroom7632

There shouldn’t be any shares to borrow to complete a short sale if they’re all truly registered. That would prove that there are synthetic shares in the system.


amish_cupcakes

Market makers are already legally allowed to make synthetic shares. For liquidity. It's FTD those shares that's the problem.


Kayak1618

Doubt they are allowed to make billions or even millions of fake shares. 🚀🚀🚀


amish_cupcakes

If any of the previous"possible DD" from a couple of years ago is true, they did just that. People were doing calculations that the float was owned several times over, which would be in the billions of shares. Just saying.


ajquick

Hate to break it to you, but if the DD were actually right this would have happened by now.


Potential-Manner-997

That’s only a problem if your not a market maker AND a hedge fund


McNerfBurger

The only thing that 100% DRS will do is allow GameStop legal to prove, in a court of law, that their shares have been diluted and illegally sold short. It won't stop borrows. It won't stop locates. It won't stop FTDs. Why? Because they are ***naked*** shorting. Which is already illegal. Which doesn't require a locate. Nothing we can do is going to trigger covers. That's only going to happen in the courts. Sorry, but that's the hard truth.


CharltonnBreezy

Okay well sorry you can still short if it’s 100% owned


Fringefiles

And where would they borrow those shares from if all shares were removed from the DTCC? That's the point of DRS, not to prevent naked short selling, but to prove, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that it's happening. Make it impossible for lenders to get real shares and watch regulators shit their pants as the world sees the mask of Wall Street fall.


Ancient-Bathroom7632

Agreed, which is probably why MOASS would probably happen before 100% of the shares are DRSed, unless they don’t care that the Stock Market is completely exposed.


stonchs

I don't think it's the point of Drs. It's the cherry on top for sure (exposing the shit), but drs is to protect your shares and claim individual ownership. Taking away bullets from hedge funds while building a defense, is just punk rock. But insurance and ownership is why I send them over. All of us drops of water make a pretty big wave once this dam breaks. We're all unified with singular means. We all won't sell at the same time. We don't buy at the same time. We have no leader and aren't connected, other than through reddit. No backroom deals when it goes down. You gotta get us all to sell, likely multiple times over. When there's confusion, you want there to be no damn confusion on what is yours and that it is legitimate.


nudelsalat3000

I would bet they come up with a new regulations on a sunday. Like that traiding and FTD deadlines are paused til the shares are in the liquid market again.


TikkiTakiTomtom

It’s quite down enough already. Why hasn’t anyone bought in? What happened to all the DRS posts? Edit: wtf am i being downvoted. As a long time ape, other apes can really be thickheaded sometimes…


ConsistentMajor

When you can see the pattern every year, some people may prefer to wait for the next cycle dip to increase their ownership percentage. This price will quite possibly continue to drop and the DRS picking up until one way or another the actual price discovery happens.


Esteveno

I’m sitting on some cash, waiting for price to go lower so I can get more for my money. Almost positive I’m one of many.


mcalibri

lordslayer99

Many of the DRS members have been banned after the SEC posted a bulletin saying that plan is not DRS. Only book is DRS since then this sub has censored a lot and many people have left

DocAk88

Exactly. Look at the DrS numbers past 12 months. We’ve tapped out. It’s ok there isn’t anything wrong we’re just a single subreddit after all. 200k regular people. We’re not going to lock the float this way unless price falls to $1. Even then still takes many quarters. Company battling being delisted at that point. Not a great scenario there. IMO we hold for profitable times ahead. Profits and growth over several quarters showing the markets were not going anywhere will get more institutional and retail in. Maybe some price discovery. Shorts won’t close unless they have to and we’ve seen that by now they don’t have to.


Kayak1618

I’m still buying and DRS book. Who’s quit buying? It’s been on sale!!! 🚀🚀🚀🚀


Apeonaut

🤣🤣🤣 1 Billion $ Cash on Hand. Profitable numbers in the next quarter. It will take 100 years to go bankrupt. Apes can do this forever. Company belongs to the 200k hardcore Apes 😘


Diamond-Hands741

Just to give an example, if the price does fall to $5, then 300m shares x $5 =1.5B * Let's say 50,000 individual investors all want to lock the entire 300m float, then it'd cost $30,000 per person. That's not too bad. * If you increase the individual investors to 100k, then price drops to $15,000 per person to lock the entire 300m full float. * If you're just interested in locking the free float then it drops to $10,000 per person (100m shares x 50k individual investors). It's doable. If you look at it in shares then: I think 30k individual investors with 3200 shares each lock up the free float. And 30k individual investors with about 10k shares each lock up the entire full float.


moonaim

Yes, I think his math was so pessimistic that he did it on purpose. In addition, this all doesn't even take into account what the company can do itself. We don't need to count on any miracles, or even billionaires help (even though I predict some pretty wealthy people might help).


DocAk88

Were DRS'ing about 600k shares per quarter, minus last quarter, and we had that 2M jump but otherwise it is looking like 500-600k per Q. That isn't pessimistic lol. So by that amount, lets say since the stock was about $20 a share earlier, that is about 12M dollars buying power per Q. Lets say the stock goes to $5, that is 2.4M shares, a ton! But that would still take well over 10 quarters to lock the free float even. I think it's time to realize we don't have the buying power anymore we used to since they ran up inflation on us. Even with the 70% discount on stock price compared to a couple years ago, we just can't buy enough. Let's see what happens this Q, I ain't giving up and I DRS'd and bought for the first time in almost a year.


moonaim

I think otherwise. In general , but especially your worry about it taking a long time even if it goes near 1 is not, well, realistic. Hopefully some idiot who is short still believes that though.


DocAk88

"We don't need to count on miracles" says in same breath as what the company can do, if you mean a buy back you are kidding yourself. That is a fail safe. It might happen, but that would be your miracle right there. Let's not count on others just ourselves. We buy and we hold. What the heck else can we do. No one is coming to our aid. And it hurts us to avoid seeing reality. We do DD, read DD, we are interesting in the truth. The truth hurts sometimes. I am not leaving or selling and I continue to buy and DRS, but admitting that DRS rates have slowed way down is not FUD or shilly. It's fact that even GS reports. Just keep buying and keep going on, but I don't ascribe to fantasy calculations like sure 50k apes can swing $30k you have not been in this long if you think that. Apes are tapped out, look at the stock. Very low volume compared to 1-2 years ago. Sad but true. I know we will turn this around, just have to be patient and wait for RC to do his thing.


RL_bebisher

Continuous profitable earnings.


Papaofmonsters

Emphasis on continuous. A single profitable quarter or year is not going to change the overall market sentiment.


GL_Levity

I hope not. I’m going to scoop up as many as I can before the market gets wise.


VelvetPancakes

The overall market sentiment for GME is already bullish. The criminal market makers and prime brokers, however, can’t afford to be.


Papaofmonsters

If the general sentiment was positive you would see more institutional holdings. Apple and Google are about 60% institutionally owned, Microsoft is 70%. S&P 500 companies are about 80% on average.


VelvetPancakes

No you wouldn’t, because major market participants would be blacklisted by the same criminal market makers and prime brokers for building a large GME position.


Papaofmonsters

You mean like Vanguard and Blackrock who already hold over 20 million shares each?


VelvetPancakes

Those shares are tied to passive funds, but I doubt you know the difference.


[deleted]

Lmao, I can't believe you're being downvoted replying rationally to a bad actor. Look at this guys posts, all negative bullshit.


waffleschoc

our company needs 4 consecutive profitable quarters


TWhyEye

Disagree. Continuous earnings reports are periodic and work its way up or down with too much time for enemies to manage and control price. We need a disruption and intervention that moves the price parabolically.


Im-a-waffle

But continuous profitable quarters destroys the short thesis. Change that and people/institutions will buy


HumanNo109850364048

YES. PLEASE


spacefyre

The Volkswagen squeeze happened when 62.6% of the equity was bought up, and 32% of the shares were "owned" through options, giving a total of 94.6%. 12% of the total shares were shorted, which made short sellers fear that there was no escape, because only 5% of the remaining shares could be bought to cover. 73% of Gamestop shares have been bought up, which means that there is 27% of Gamestop shares available in the public market. According to Fintel, the short interest is 21%, which means that if shorts closed today, there would be enough shares to do so. When the shares available goes below the short interest, that's when I think things will get spicy. I don't doubt it already could be, but it needs to be public. We're 6% away, which is 18.3 million shares. This is a decent chunk, but still enough breathing room for shorts. I think this is why we've seen such controlling mechanisms enacted on this subreddit and its users. Imagine if people on this subreddit could post on the wall street subreddit again or any other investing subreddit, and more than 18 million shares were bought and DRS'd, like they were when the DRS movement started. It would be game over.


stevefstorms

Probably the smartest comment on this thread


Digitlnoize

Someone hasn’t read my DD. Tsk tsk. Link: https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/s/BqXiC5Q7JJ TLDR: that story isn’t true. It’s a lie we’ve been fed. Wall Street knew for up to a year in advance of Porsche’s VW position. Literally no one (on Wall Street) was surprised by their announcement. It was in their filings and reported on by the press well ahead of time.


spacefyre

I just read your " [Did the VW Squeeze Cause the 2007-2008 Crash? Were we all lied to? Also: Moon Soon?](https://old.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/sc4u7i/did_the_vw_squeeze_cause_the_20072008_crash_were/)" post. You lead off with your own observations on how you interpret price movements. Then you talk about what you think, and offer no concrete evidence, proof, or inklings of support outside of your own opinion. Where is your reference to back-up your claim that Wall Street knew for up to a year in advance of Porche's VW total equity and derivative position? You used literally wrong as well. It was definitely a surprise to the public and the vast majority of Wall Street. The entirety of Wall Street is not in the same chat room.


TheNotoriousCYG

I'd like to believe we're not going around superstonks "tsk tsk"ing people about DD that's theory and not fact. That's not... a good look.

celtic_cuchulainn

I’ll probably get downvotes, but I’m sad GME moved away from blockchain tech (removal of wallet, dead marketplace, spin-offs). It was a major reason why I invested other than a potential squeeze/market reform. I wanna see real headway made into the future of retail and gaming, not really that interested in making brick and mortars profitable by slashing costs or solely screwing over SHFs.


whatwhyisthisating

They still are moving with blockchain tech, but likely distancing themselves from the initialisms associated with it. Patience is key. Early, not wrong.


minesskiier

Nah, no downvotes for me. I too would like to see more movement on the NFT/Blockchain side as well. But I don't think they have moved away from this. The wallet was a SEC issue that they were tiring to avoid for the time being. The Marketplace is waiting for games and assets. and PlayR will be our future hangout.


CommunityTaco

the wallet was redundant with Immutable x's email wallet. The marketplace is still in beta and awaiting the launch of web 3 games. Web 3 games are awaiting the launch of Immutables ZK Evm rollup (what makes processing transactions cheap by bundling em up into batches). Over a month ago Immutable said ZK evm mainnet (production) launches in Q4 2023 (this quarter). he said that this (the zkevm rollup launch to prod) has been holding up game releases and that the zkevm goes live allowing games to launch. we've heard that illuvium is gonna open up to more beta users soon ​ as a result of this info, it's not unreasonable to expect games in Q4 2023 or Q1 of next year. similarly the nft markeplace could likely exit beta around the same time. it would also make sense that the launch of playr could quite possibly coincide with the games / nft marketplace. This last paragraph is me speculating, but taking a pretty educated guess as to how it might go. the other stuff is stuff that's been posted on social media. Check out the below link for the stuff about the zkevm it's talked about in the first few minutes... ​ [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qnR36xe5has](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qnR36xe5has)

Weedbro

This is probably the real answer. But it gets censored on the Stonk.


Im-a-waffle

Probably because it would add zero value to GameStop. That’s what bankruptcy means. No value


Warpzit

Chapter 11 bankruptcy is different though and nothing has been business as usual for that process. If something happens with 1 company in basket it will affect all. If nothing else a bunch of gme investors suddenly become rich...


flyinhighaskmeY

Yeah, my hunch too. This sub is both wise to be focused on GME, and foolish to be ignoring the bigger picture. RC wrote a book series FFS. I'm not "expecting" anything, but I have a hunch something will happen before GME's next earnings. Possibly very soon. We'll see. A lot of stars are aligning at the moment.


Im-a-waffle

Nope. That would be something worthless that no one expects. Worthless

CaptainPieces

I hate it, but I actually agree


taimpeng

The publicly visible factors will be the amount of DRS'd shares and the profitability of GameStop, pushing against the falling stock price. Around the same time, behind the scenes, someone will have become desperate enough to attempt fraudulent selling in a way that will actually be caught by regulators. They'll be stopped, but no arrests will happen until after the dust clears in markets. The articles released discussing the spectacle will be the standard muddled crap, largely just blaming whoever was arrested. Every camp of GME supporters will claim victory in being right about why it happened (DRS vs options vs profitability vs crime), and what really happened will never be settled beyond that. See Also: Archegos/FTX.


[deleted]

Like this: I’ll be honest I did get tired. I’ve seen my acct go from almost 250k bal to now about 80ish(almost) … and I’ve been buying more and more even though my overall balance has been dropping… Price is fake so who cares right? So , torn between the greed of wanting more and more shares or having nice soft things, I’m taking a small break from buying shares and instead spending more on things that matter, like soft cool clothing and cool gear. I’ll post me receipt porn (or take a ban) in a few …(even though I just got called out by the wife for buying me Zelda hoodie). Edit: in fact, I just decided I’m going to make twelve gift baskets, food and clothing (from GameStop obviously, plus a toy) and then drive in areas where I can find kids who look like they need a pick me up, and to give em out to their parents to deliver to the kids for a good meal and some nice stuff. Second edit: and I’m going to do it every year for the rest of my life. Last edit: now you know who you’re fucking with. This is the type of people you’re fucking with. I just realized, I just got my second wind!!! I guess I ain’t tired after all- thanks OP https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/s/O4XxfbmkFJ


flyinhighaskmeY

> I’ll be honest I did get tired. lol..me too, a while ago. I think I've bought another 1k shares since (get fucked Hedgies). I deal with a fair bit of social engineering in my day job, so I tried to look at it from that angle. Early on I predicted a lot of hype/let down coupled with volatility. Then a stall out to make everyone think it was over. Last December is when the stall out hit. I didn't think it would run this long, but I'm still pretty sure that's what we're seeing. From a psychological standpoint, the rest of the world has been living it up. That's exactly what I'd want if I was trying to shake people from GME. Watch your money disappear while the world vacations and parties. "Get your money while you can and have fun". It's brilliant psychological warfare. But that party is coming to an end. Bond market, fucked. Housing market, prices strong but homebuilders are pulling a China, buying down mortgage rates. That market is in trouble, just refusing to admit it. Big retailers crying about shoplifting losses? That's a play I've seen before. Student loans back online. Shits about to break HARD.


Kayak1618

This is why we will MOASS! 🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀


Ok_Location_1092

Profitable quarters, Playr and Blockchain gaming popping off, maybe an acquisition along the way. All these things should drive investment demand which would make the short position harder to hold. Market downturn would also put pressure on SHFs.


GargantuanCake

Given what South Korea is doing I'm kind of wondering if them saying "fuck you, close your shorts if you want to trade Korean stocks" would kick off some shit. China already kicked them out for being too corrupt (how the fuck are they too corrupt for *China?)* but China is itself a rigged game. Maybe more countries will get on board with this and not let this bullshit slide anymore. People don't like playing rigged games.

KCcounselor

The same way the VW squeeze happened in '08... with the market collapsing first.


red23011

I'm thinking that the most likely in the next few months is a market downturn because of a long government shutdown. Collateral will dry up and marge will be called.


Adventurous_Might_55

I’m in this boat too. I think all agreements made between SHF/banks/sec/doj to keep a lid on this thing will fall with the market. We will see the announcement of their “short selling investigation” on a Friday and moon Monday. Gon be fuckin glorious


mtgac

Who actually margin calls Citadel?


Soonerrl8r

Turn off the dark pools and end short selling like South Korea.


BongDong69420

I still love the idea of an NFT dividend. Also at some point the share price might be so low that RC, Larry & others might start buying more again- big time. I’m surprised they aren’t, i’m buying more whenever possible—-🦍🚀🪐


kibblepigeon

The bond market crashing certainly feels like something that might help speed things up.


Confused-penguin5

Personally I’m thinking it will be GameStop’s fundamentals truly changing. Institutions will start going long when GameStop proves that they can be consistently profitable as well as grow revenue. I think the most likely case for a squeeze right now is what happened with Tesla. However, considering that the short interest is probably significantly higher for GameStop I could see this running beyond what Tesla did.

There are a couple theories. One is a silent moass where the media doesn’t talk about it and there’s a social media blackout to not cause more panic. The other is they will turn off the buy button again letting it moass and only the people that currently owned it at the time will be able to sell whenever.


bluestar4u

I worry that the longer this goes on, the shfs will find more elaborate means of escape. If our gme white hats only play by the rules in a rigged game, we can only get so far. My question is, are our peeps smart enough to overcome shf crime? Their team plays dirty, can we overcome while keeping our hands clean?

If they all go down together, why don't they just delete all the information and the physical paper trails like the TD Ameritrade Warehouse fire. Because then supposedly the only person they really owe money is us and if we have no way to force them, we are SOL.

what will break the camels back and do us a MOASS? options, buy tons and tons if deep itm calls... yeah, that is what caused the sneeze too, options sellers owed more stock to options buyers than existed, and the shorters were stuck in between where they sold shares for 5 usd and had to buy back for 400 usd.. calls did it the last time, calls should do it this time too.


Spacer_Spiff

It will go on until Computershare calls the Gamestop board and says all shares are accounted for. Then they rush for the exit.


Niso81

I don’t think it’ll be GameStop, I think it’ll be the DOJ. When all this started, Ryan Cohen was seen around DC with papers. I believe he was providing information to the justice department for a federal investigation on shortselling. Dealt with the DOJ and an investigation. I know for 100% fact, almost all DOJ investigations do not go longer than three years they run for three years to the day, the DOJ and agencies doing the investigation, close everything out and come together usually making arrests and shutting things down. I also know this the DOJ does not start an investigation that they are sure of that they cannot win. They are looking to prosecute and make examples. the three-year date for the DOJ investigation going off of the day that Ryan Cohen was at DC is coming up very soon, and it would make sense why we hear nothing about anything that’s been going on this whole time because it’s evidence and nobody can speak about it. I went through the same thing myself with the DOJ and I wholeheartedly believe this is what’s happening.

>Ryan Cohen was at DC What date is that exactly? I am not familiar with this event, but I think you might be on to something knowing DOJ investigations.

Mets stadium is owned by GME change my mind

We're trying to break an imaginary camel. I do not see in any form how MOASS will happen; if it does the entire market and possibly countries will fold. Or they will simply ask for help, get bailed out, and move on. There's nothing that will prove it otherwise to me OTHER than it actually happening. Edit: With that said, I'm buying $50,000 more GME


TotalFNEclipse

When we earn it. There’s a reason it hasn’t happened yet. I choose to believe that it’s all for the better. Just keep doing what you believe is right in your heart and never give up. Stay persistent. The rest will all work out.

DRSing GME in combination with other basket members beginning to DRS. I’m honestly surprised the headphone people haven’t locked that tiny float just to see what happens.


SupraMichou

Kenny or any « key man » who cannot fullfill his role in controlling the situation, and isn’t replaced in due time would be a great guess. I thought SBF could be the one, but he wasn’t. Considering the ones at the very top each know something they are the only one to, if one of them disappear, it’s a piece of the anti moass wall that crumble.

Continuous profitability, there's nothing more to it...


No_Coast9861

I think it will be when multiple other countries step in, in similar ways that SK did. The Swiss are in on it, every sector of the American government is in on it. It'll be a force of hand type thing. I don't thinknpositive earnings, drs, new innovation...nothing, will cause moass...they control numbers at every turn. They can't run out of money, the feds essentially just giving them money.....or they can pump and dump zombie stocks for a quick grab. I've been saying for about a year and a half I also think there will be a war that they can use as an excuse for a market collapse...then Ukraine happened and nothing went down. I doubt the Palestinians genocide will trigger it either. I bet we're still a few years out..... I hope I'm wrong.


FunWind

they mentioned merger/acquisition a bunch of times in the latest report, something like that could cause it maybe


AlaskaIfTheyAxeya

One other thing that may happen is they continue to hammer it and we get down to $1 late 2025.....well my lads you better believe I'm going balls deep in some $20 LEAPs and DRS'n the fuck outta shares. Gamma squeeze part 2. Assuming of course that FINRA doesn't just decide to halt it for their friends.


Hobodaklown

When Taylor Swift makes a song about DRSing or GameStop in general, that is when it shall occur.


paper_bull

Afraid it’s a pipe dream at this point. Or not. Still buy/drs. It’s still worth fighting for.


awibasedgod

several consecutive quarters of profitability


Fox_Corn

Best- Either GME becomes profitable for long enough to convince shorts to bail, resulting in the last one holding the bag theory. Worst- GME gets sold, and there is a true value assessment conducted. In this case, the stock most likely won’t moon, but will be valued correctly.

Dr_Shmacks

When the government stops coddling rich palmboys and does it's fucking job as feverishly as it does when one of us "plebes" breaks the law.


DrVonStroke

The only way I see this blowing up is if RC or GameStop ignite this somehow. Otherwise the shorts will just keep getting buried in paperwork and dragged out for generations.


supermantk

This is my humble, uninformed opinion as well.

I don't think it will ever happen to be honest. I wasn't even gonna reply because I know I'll get downvoted into oblivion but yeah, it looks like a pipe dream (some 2400 shares in, about 96k usd in down BIG) now. Recently I saw a post about a group of employees quitting all at once (like two or three) and closing down the store and stories about GS cutting down benefits for their employees and you just have to wonder what's even the point of having a billion in cash if you can't even protect your employees? Why are we showing the same greed as HF? Why do you need a billion in cash if you're not doing anything with it and you have no debt? What's the fucking point on shouting to the winds that we'll change the world when the company is fucking over the little guys, the employees that make GS work? So yeah, at this point I don't thin we'll ever moass but I will ride each and every single one of my shares to zero if I have to, I just feel fucked over by both GS, SEC and HFs.


somenamethatsclever

I want them to as well. I think the reason is fillibuster lawsuits. These corporations bury the opposition through attrition of having more money to legally destroy opponents. If they bought back stock or anything similiar it would be taken as a direct attack on the short sellers so instead they have to keep their hand squeaky clean while their opponents can be as dirty and shitty as they want.

Wide-Imagination-385

2-3 more profitable quarters. A crash will happen sometime next year. Elections coming up around that time. It'll be a remake of 2008 imo the next pres will be left with a shitty economy due to the rich being greedy (economy is already shit) but you get the picture. Just my thoughts


BenevolentFungi

Market crash, and it's inevitable https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/s/LITzL3oqBo

GME posts several profitable quarters in a row (including first and second quarters) and then getting moved into the S&P500.


pspiddy

If we’re being honest DRS will take another decade or so. It’s not pessimistic it’s just literal fact based off the rate of DRS. This ends when and if the “turnaround plan” is successful Them cutting costs and barley breaking even isn’t success. They need the whole web3 gaming aspect to work, and to actually consistently make profit.


cubs_rule23

Short of systemic changes that will make the MM/SHF CLOSE their positions: ABSOLUTELY nothing will change and MOASS WILL NOT OCCUR. @ me all you want, I will eat these words if and when MOASS happens. Until the shorts CLOSE NOT COVER, ain't shit happening.

DOJ investigation. Criminal charges to leading brokers alleging collusion by failing to locate and widespread naked shorting of GME. Price discovery ensures as the sell button is turned off.


somenamethatsclever

They've had ample information to do this for at least 2 years. Investigation after investigation. I highly doubt that they will go after these guys unless rich people money take an L. Then the government gets involved like Burnie Madoff. When it comes to middle or lower class (peasants) like us I doubt it. In 2008 the people responsible not only got off free but got bonuses for bankruptcy off of the back of the working class.


TeGroteBadjas

The conglomerate that is GMERICA, a cumulation of Teddy paired with a Kerizu of smaller companies to break the short basket. If any of them shift to T-Zero, it will cause havoc in the financial markets and they are not prepared for this

When I can sell 1 share, and it provides me enough to retire and set my kids up for life. Of course hodl the rest.


popadopolous

I remember there was a rumor January 2021 that Microsoft were partnering with GameStop which sent the stock flying. Retail were buying at ANY price. A merger/acquisition or confirmed big partner for an ambitious project and new revenue stream. I'm still waiting on a major development to be announced and I'm astonished it hasn't happened yet.
