Sell now while you can.

I cant tell you who I am, but my brother is a janitor who works at one of the offices who provided financial assistance to one of the funds who helped bail out Melvin and co.

He overheard the higherups talking about some of these reddit users actually being suspected corporate entities who are trying to arrange a takeover by pushing them into bankruptcy.

He said that they said these guys actions lined up with previous failed negotiation attempts and it's like they had deep insider info on the inner workings of these hedges, likely former employees.

He said not only did some of these reddit guys make almost prophetic moves in the market at critical times, they also divulged information on future moves that were still internal at the time.

He said that they are only in this to bankrupt some rival agencies and that at the right time they are going to sell and leave everyone else holding the bags.

You guys need to sell NOW, don't be the sucker that these incognito reddit fat cats want you to be.

no shit anon, it's plain as day that this was designed by big money. They saw and opportunity, exploited it, and then spread it to social media to redirect the blame of fucking the market.
a lot of people will benefit, so that's good, but it comes at a costs, and it's rather pretentious to act as if reddit or /biz/ made this a reality. There is too much money pumped into this stock for it to be a working class pump.

This is a direct attack of hedge funds, on hedge funds. To think otherwise is naive. The reason there's no risk right now is because there simply isn't enough working class money involved for the hedge funds to justify dumping when the potential money to be gained is off the charts. The only thing that could possibly save the shorts is if the other hedge funds sandbag their gains and bail them out by selling and tanking the stock.

Hedge funders made a bet that GME would crash (that bet was a "short call"). When it starts rising above what they bet it would be they have to cover their asses by buying back the stocks that they put up for the bet, but since so many shares were bet there simply are not enough left to cover their positions.

That means SOMEONE will be left holding the collective bag, because every time a short caller buys back shares it raises the price even higher, and at the end of the day the only shares left for purchase to cover those short calls will be from retail investors, and so retail has a lot of power in this specific scenario to set the price as long as they all hold
