I can't fathom what kind of cognitive dissonance you have to have to write this shit and expect people to take you seriously.
I've tried so hard to take opinion pieces as real factual opinions, but everytime I do, I'm reminded why I shouldn't even try. Jesus christ these people are unhinged.

>>27271077
Now show us the name of who wrote the article

>>27271077
>Democracy dies in darkness
that seems pretty self-aware

>>27271077
Wait, it was china brainwashing me into trying to bring down the US economy? I could've sworn I was a russian sleeper agent, weird. Either way, death to America :^)

>>27271077
I'm selling my GME this week. The fact that jews lost 20 billion on friday is enough to keep me going through life

Who wrote the article Op, tell us.

>>27273336
The article's argument is that hedge funds provide reality checks to retarded bubbles so corrections can happen sooner instead of more people getting suckered in followed by another dotcom crash.
They also take on a disproportionately large amount of risk in taking these contrarian positions which is obvious when you factor in how shorting has no ceiling on how much you can lose if prices go up instead.

>>27273553
No, it's real. Opinion, but real.

nm i stand corrected, just when i thought wapo couldn't get anymore fucked they manage to surprise me.

>>27271077
bait

OP, here's your (((you)))

>>27273678
It's trivial to hedge a short position by buying an OTM call option. Sharks that specialize in shorting don't do that because they're market manipulators primarily, not heroes unearthing financial shenanigans for the greater good. WaPo is just being retards as usual.

Now that Drumpf is gone they'll probably remove that

Why didn't you include the writer?

>>27271077
90% chance the author is a Jew.

>>27273678
The argument is retarded because shorting becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. If big names short your company investors leave for fear they may be right.

THEY’LL BET HIGH AND THEY’LL SELL LOW

BUT WE WONT FOLD AS LONG AS WE CAN BUY
THEY’LL DIP DAY AND THEY’LL DIP NIGHT
BUT TO SELL AINT IN OUR SIGHT
KEEP YOUR HOLDINGS BY YOUR SIDE
Sing in’
OH /BIZ/ THIS STOCK WAS MADE FOR US
Sing in’
OH /BIZ/ THE HEDGIE LIFE JUST AINT FOR US
WHEN WE SEE THE DIP
WE KNOW WE BUY AND RIDE THE TRIP
KEEP YOUR HOLDINGS BY YOUR SIDE

It’s so odd when the media clearly is putting out propaganda pieces against a cause that the left and the right both are championing. Millions are participating, and millions more are cheering them on. It’s a total “emperor has no clothes” type situation and these media fucks have no self awareness. It’s a joke, and they have no clue everyone is laughing at them.

hol 'up... so you be sayin shortin' stocks don't be existin befo' the dot coom crash?

>>27273990
That's already part of the argument, anon. You missed the disproportionate risk part. It isn't a free act to short. You risk losing without limit.

>Now it is time to remember that truth matters.
I'm really looking forward to Monday.

>>27274000
As soon as the left and right team up for anything all the media will come out against whatever motivation sparked the unity

>>27274097
If more people shorted dotcom stocks early on it would have helped is the argument.
Just because firemen exist doesn't mean fires don't. It means they help keep fires from doing much more damage when there's enough of them on the job.

>>27274000
It’s an opinion piece. An editorial in no way has a reason to reflect a newspaper’s viewpoints but I definitely won’t trust publications supporting hedgies.

>>27274256
so the real fundamental price for gamestonk was 2.75? It had nothing to do with bullshit hedgies trying to bankrupt the company? fuckin kek

It's trivial but they don't really do that. Sounds like not an argument to me.

>hedgies and jannies of the long nose tribe have always been the enemy of the tendie tribe

>>27274522
With all the brick and mortar retail stores that have already gone out of business that seems like a plenty realistic take.

>>27273336
Its because hedge funds have been used by jews to gain financial dominace over whites. The entire fucking thing is because of jews trying to keep control of system. Every single of these fucking assholes are jews.

>>27273678
>hedge funds provide reality checks to retarded bubbles so corrections can happen sooner instead of more people getting suckered in followed by another dotcom crash
which is literally what's happening right now

>undertake enterprise for totally selfish reasons
>you're the good guys because it can correct an undesirable situation
so they're admitting colonialism is a good thing after all?

>What about short sellers? These are specialists who research stocks that might go down, sometimes because bosses are illegally covering up bad news about their companies. When short sellers identify a case of fraud or similar, they borrow and sell the stock, hoping to buy it back at a lower price later. Again, there is nothing evil about this. To the contrary, it’s a way of keeping prices honest. A market without short sellers is like a political system without investigative journalists.

Your argument is null because you CAN limit risk while shorting. It just costs money so greedy people don't do that.

How funny how this was the fucking article the day before:
https://archive.vn/kK8Aa

>>27273678
How can anyone say they take on a disproportionate amount of risk when, any time they end up on the losing side of a trade, no matter how risky (like the absolute degenerate gambling of shorting a stock over 130% then doubling down as the price goes up), they are able to rig the market in their favor, get bail outs, or otherwise skate by with a win while everyone else loses.


Also the headline is indeed completely absurd and disingenuous. I'm not anti-anything by holding gme and wanting it to go up. I'm pro myself. I want to get rich, just as much as these rich fags. Why is it unamerican and anti-capitalist for me to want to profit off of the stock market and be outraged at being denied my rightful profits when they rig the market? But for them its perfectly ok to lie, cheat, and swindle to extract every last cent from so-called "dumb money" like me.

When they shut down buying as GME ramped up above 500, they literally stole profits out of my pocket and the pockets of many other gme shareholders. That is criminal, and a direct attack against me and my lifestyle. They declared economic warfare against me.

The hedgefund cries out in pain as it lashes out at you.

Stop being naive. Journos are paid to write every piece publish.
They'd write that Trump was the second coming of Jesus if you wrote them a big enough cheque.

They clearly aren't able to just rig it in their favor since they still lost billions over it and some are or already have gone out of business.

>>27275703
>That is criminal, and a direct attack against me and my lifestyle.
The lifestyle you ordered is no long in stock Millennial.

It’s not a bubble when the hedge funds offer up their liquidated worth as insurance.
Especially when they have no exit strategy outside of market manipulation.

The filthy kikes did give it their best shot first by media manipulation and scare tactics and then the absolute shutitdown -tier fuckery with the exchanges
