They were desperate to push the narrative that it was dilution, as if that would cause a barcode pattern when Virtu Financial is a notorious high frequency trading company.
I think it's true. "The hit Doug howls the loudest." The algorithm took him someplace he didn't want to go and got in over his head and on February 6th realized he was trapped and not as many people jumped ship as he would have hoped.
Short sellers can provide liquidity for other people because they take on the short position. But they CAN NOT provide liquidity for themselves to close shorts.
Cue the crying Doug Cifu.

A 400% borrow cost on a $3 short is $12 per year. This trade is faaaaaaar too crowded and why they are desperate for the company to die. They literally have 4 months before the trade is unprofitable. And BECAUSE the shorts were pushing so hard to FORCE bankruptcy, longs swooped in and are vacuuming up shares that shorts need to close. This is making the stock a mother fucking powder keg. We are weeks, if not days from short capitulation. The short squeeze may even blow out anyone who shorted at $20+. Get your calculators out, boys and start playing with the numbers. What is the short interest, over 80%? This is a sure-thing. A single stock simply cannot handle this much activity without something breaking. And as always, the sole reason for the instability being the leveraged-short seller.

Those DOOMPS expiring this Friday are likely a lynchpin. Of all of the rules that were passed in 2021, they were likely not applicable to derivative contracts that were already written and were grandfathered in. This whole thing can come unravelled next Monday.

I can't handle his shit, it's too fucking funny. Is this a meme that people have internet wives that they tell people off or are people serious? It's hilarious regardless.

It ultimately depends on the actions of the banking system. Saving the dollar means a deflationary depression and complete collapse of everything including imports, jobs, taxes, welfare, insurance etc. This is a terrifying prospect. I think the banks will ultimately try to slow-roll inflation to keep things going and hopefully ease us into the pain. I think the chance of banks freezing up and shutting down temporarily is a given. I think we'll all get our cash but the purchasing power of it is likely to be nil. The system is effectively dead, and the dollar ultimately needs to be replaced. I think all countries want the dollar replaced as well and are actively looking for work-arounds to dollar hegemony. This is on no certain timeline, as well. It could carry on like this for years if we have cooperation of foreign nations. But it could also collapse quite suddenly if someone big runs for the door. I am extremely pessimistic, and I don't use the terms "ponzi scheme" lightly. All of the problems characterized by current events are summed up succinctly as thus: Shortfall of capital. We have replaced real capita. & savings with leverage and liquidity. The only play is to buy up real assets, real businesses and own plenty of guns and food while we wait for the inevitable. Sounds spooky, and it is. Most normies will have their necks snapped from the whiplash caused by their normalcy bias. Simply buying a house and earning a small fortune is impossible without leverage. Simply owning stocks that procure you a living wage doing nothing is impossible without an insane influx of cheap labor and resources. Without savings, and so little reinvestment in our manufacturing and infrastructure, we are all collectively going to be tightening our belts. No magic central bank dollar tricks will be bailing us out this time.

Ken Griffin and company have now enacted plan D(eer). All GME investors will enjoy their millions, but be forced to endure their lavish existence as furries.

Such good OC lately. I thank the volatility getting people engaged again. The eternal crab is soul crushing.

They need to hit the plebs with another round of inflation. If PMs show real returns and the gold bugs start making some sense, then a mass exodus could kick off. The banks need to put this off for as long as possible. They make plenty of money on the paper trades, and it is widely suspected that big whales have a hand in emptying the COMEX while they can.
I don't think we will see PM prices gradually increase to $30 then $40 then $50 etc. I think it will happen quite suddenly that existing stock dries up and it is repriced. This will not happen UNTIL the debt market begins to topple and the banks decide that they cannot prop it up any longer.

The best part of it all is it is Wallstreet and the banks that allowed this fraud to happen. Exposing it to the world so we can clean up even a little bit of the human filth in the world makes me happy. We're all super heroes and we'll be richly rewarded for our brave, noble stand against the corrupt, hand rubbing hedgies and their henchmen. And the best part? I can be as melodramatic and cringe as I want, I don't have to sell and there is nothing the super smart, PhD, CFA, Series 7 holders can do about it. I am basically smarter and more successful than all of these guys put together. I will also be technically more successful than all of these guys as well once I take all of their money.

There are all kinds of financing. Personal, corporate, investments etc.

Sometimes I feel like I need to look for a new job to make some more money, but when I consider all of the money I save on gas, parking, and the time I save from not needing to eat out, the 1-2 hours of commute time. Being well rested, etc. It's worth a lot to not go back to that horrible lifestyle of being tired as fuck all week only to want to do nothing but get shitfaced on the weekend.
I picked up a second job that pays decent to make up the extra money, and the savings from working from home are amplified. I feel better working 60 hour weeks than I did when I worked 40. It's all gravy. It all goes to investments that I can manage since I work from home as well.

I think you are right. As the dollar reserve currency system comes to a close, our ability to command buying power on the world stage is going to be dropping precipitously. The (((world order))) requires that Americans secure their production from outside of the country and we are basically tying ourselves down to third worlders by force. On the global stage, a white Europe and a white North America is checkmate on the global stage for European peoples, and this fact of reality is being stopped at all costs. In the information age, no one wants to see another world empire created by whites because we know damn well who to exclude. Egypt, Rome, and Greece were all subsumed by foreigners, and if we can prevent that from recurring we can usher in a sustained era of prosperity for ourselves and our children for the rest of time. It is in the best interest of these lesser peoples that we become balkanized in North America so no one single group can control it, except for the ethnocentric small hat tribe.
