Short sellers are actually not as evil as they're portrayed. There are much worse actors on Wall Street and off it. I don't ever sell short, especially in a bull market, but this is probably real.

They're ganging up on ridiculous short bets... it's not that Gamestop is on solid ground, it's that 160% of their stock was shorted at some point, which is by any measure ridiculous.
Unfortunately this is another side effect of what the market has become. It's a gambler's game with some of these instruments, which don't contribute anything to companies seeking long term capital (what the market used to be a while back).

Clearly a lot of people do it, but I'm not speaking about what investors can or can't do, I'm talking about the bonafies of having a capital market dominated by big players and what's the value that provides to society.
Shorting positions is probably as old as the market itself, but the sheer size of some of these groups is not. A multi-billion fund loading up on a public, big short position is likely a death knell on almost any medium-size company (reddit kids notwithstanding).
Does it makes the fund money? Sure. What value does society gets from these type of transactions?
At least investing long meant supplying capital to a company to expand, which normally translated to more and better jobs, etc.

At least investing long meant supplying capital to a company to expand, which normally translated to more and better jobs, etc.
Buying and holding common stock is not supplying capital to the company, they got their capital when they first issued the stock. The big short of GME didn't turn it into a failing business model just as this pump isn't turning it into a winning business model. So I don't really get your complaint about long term/short term investing.
I guess your complaining about hedge funds (or anybody) prematurely crushing a stock price by shorting which can prevent the company from accessing more capital to try and turn the company around. That's a valid complaint but we went through those complaints in '09 and it was determined by the govt that "nah, it's all good, carry on folks".
I suspect if retail traders make a habit of crowd sourcing to fuck over hedge funds the SEC will decide this a problem that must be fixed and make some rule changes to give the edge back to the hedge funds. It wouldn't be hard for them to shut the reddit/robinhooders out of the options game.

So I don't really get your complaint about long term/short term investing.
Market capitalization is leveraged into loans, more rounds of stock issue, etc, so it absolutely provides companies capital. A company doing shitty and stock tumbling down is going to have much more trouble obtaining financing via new stocks or loans than a huge company doing well.
But then again, the latter part of what you mention above is exactly my point. This whole short-the-stock/fuck-the-short-position game does absolutely nothing for the company, it's workers, etc. It's strictly a money game between shareholders. At that point it stops fulfilling any service to the broader economy.

Well, its just my opinion. If you ask me, lots of things went down wrong in '08/'09.

I'm just not sure it's such an easy fix. Coops are created to do similar things and are perfectly legal. The easiest fix for hedge funds is probably not put themselves in such ridiculous short positions that are so easy to spot and attack.

"How it works:
Thanks to Robinhood and other stock-trading apps,
trading options in GameStop (or BlackBerry, Bed Bath & Beyond or any other smallish company Wall Street traders have bet against) is easy, fun, and
carries a commission of exactly $0.
Giant hedge funds like Melvin Capital (https://link.axios.com/click/22768968.670302/aHR0cHM6Ly9tYXJrZXRzLmJ1c2luZXNzaW5zaWRlci5jb20vbm V3cy9zdG9ja3Mvc3RldmUtY29oZW4ta2VuLWdyaWZmaW4taW52 ZXN0LTMtYmlsbGlvbi1nYW1lc3RvcC1zaG9ydC1zZWxsZXItMj AyMS0xLTEwMzAwMDMzMDU_dXRtX3NvdXJjZT1uZXdzbGV0dGVy JnV0bV9tZWRpdW09ZW1haWwmdXRtX2NhbXBhaWduPW5ld3NsZX R0ZXJfYXhpb3NhbSZzdHJlYW09dG9w/6004bc4704300c1ae269be66B72c85277) now find themselves at the mercy of thousands of small investors using the internet to coordinate buying attacks.
The bottom line: Short-selling — betting that a company's stock will fall — is a crucial element of efficient markets.
Wall Street veterans say the newbies' lack of experience and diversification mean they’ll eventually get crushed by their trades.
So far, however, the small guys are laughing all the way to the bank.

Yeah that’s what convinced me to made the trade. There’s nothing intrinsically promising about GameStop, everything it does is obsolete and the e-commerce it’s trying to break into already has bigger and more established competitors. It’d be a long term short position that makes sense even ignoring the Reddit retards.

Not only are their future prospects grim because of digital delivery of games, but their core market of gamers despises them because in the last two or three years they have made their workers become super aggressive pushing membership cards and extended warranties. It's really not a place gamers like going but the workers get berated and have their hours slashed to the bone when they're not able to con people into their warranties on games.
Another reason gamers hate them is because when they have extremely high demand items they only sell them in bundles, often with lots of useless crap thrown in. Like when Switch came out at $299 they'd bundle all these crap figurines and assorted junk to sell them in a $450 bundle. For the $499 PS5 right now they have one good $730 bundle with Spiderman + Demon's Souls (the two big games on PS5) + a controller + a Gamestop gift card and another $720 bundle that's the same except replacing Demon's Souls with some crap kids game.
I'll miss Gamestop when they go under though. Mainly because they're a monumentally stupid company, their management must have worms in their brains or some shit. Sometimes they'll do these trade-in promotions that are ridiculously stupid, like an extra $5 per traded in game of store credit towards a preorder once you trade in six games, so a couple of times on deals like that I'd have a $60 game I wanted and go pick up a bunch of $1 Wii and 360 games that pawn shops are desperate to get rid of and then trade them into GS for like $7 or $8 each store credit. So buy a $65 game for like $9 or $10 out of pocket. :lol
There was another promotion back when Switch first came out and they were only selling those $450 bundles where you could work it to sell them copies of crap games like Plants Vs Zombies 2 for $80 store credit. So people would just go raid Best Buy and Walmart for these games where they were selling for $20, take them out of the shrink wrap, and then trade them in as used for like $80 credit and end up getting these expensive Switch bundles for like $120 out of pocket. That same promotion I got a couple of $60 games for free by selling them my PS4 games and then buying them right back except they paid me more than I paid them to get my games back so I'd basically get store credit for letting them hold my games for two minutes. :lol
Another funny thing people were pulling on Gamestop is when a Gamestop location would close down they'd start liquidating their XBox One X systems for $100 a pop, so people would buy them all up and then go to the Gamestop down the street and sell them back for around $220 cash or $300 store credit. :lol
Speaking of Gamestops being right down the street, they have grossly oversaturated the market. I have like 30 that are a quick 15-20 minute drive from me. They have way too many stores. I have no idea how that company isn't bankrupt yet.

Senator Warren Releases Statement on GameStop Trades
Washington, DC - United States Senator Elizabeth Warren today released the following statement on the recent GameStop trades.
"With stocks soaring while millions are out of work and struggling to pay bills, it's not news that the stock market doesn't reflect our actual economy. For years, the same hedge funds, private equity firms, and wealthy investors dismayed by the GameStop trades have treated the stock market like their own personal casino while everyone else pays the price. It's long past time for the SEC and other financial regulators to wake up and do their jobs - and with a new administration and Democrats running Congress, I intend to make sure they do."

This is a problem with options when you have a wave like this, and that's why a lot of stock trading platforms today were changing their requirements on those stocks, it exposes them to potential junk.

And at this point it's stupid anyway. Unless you were on that first wave of GameStop, there's no amount of risk that makes it worth it at this point. What are you going to put in $10,000 for the chance of maybe doubling it? Like that's going to drastically change your life?

Despite its promise to bring trading to the masses, Robinhood is intimately connected with the Wall Street establishment. Chicago-based Citadel Securities functions as something of a middleman between Robinhood and exchanges like the NASDAQ (on which GameStop is traded), taking a cut of the earnings along the way. Citadel is also one of the firms that bailed out Melvin Capital earlier this week, and as such would benefit from GameStop’s stock crashing.

Probably just that the government will protect Robinhood and Wall St and tell the reddit trolls to piss off. The game is rigged, but anybody who didn’t already know that is stupid. Been this way for a long time.
The game is rigged because there is no government intervention. The idea that a “big government” is what makes the rigging possible is what’s so stupid/ridiculous, it’s a small government that lets private corporations regulate themselves that allows this stuff to happen. A completely free market is what leads to a rigged system.

For sure. If you can afford to lose it, go for it. But all the Reddit posts about being able to buy their parents a new home or pay for college, that ship has sailed.

Yeah..but apps like Robin Hood make it even more so. Being able to trade odd lots with no commission. This was pretty predictable.
I always wondered what would happen if a major social influencer said they were investing in a particular stock.
The reality is that a large number of these investors are going to lose their ass because they didn't (or can't) get out in time.

He has puts at $30 right? No way that stock is worth $30 in a year. When you go into a Gamestop now they don't seem to have a ton of used inventory thanks to the pandemic and with 2 of the 4 new consoles digital only they're not going to survive this console generation that just started. All their profit comes from buying games used for $10 or $15 and selling them for $55 (when the new game is $60) but can't sell them a digital copy of your game. They're also all over the place, like fucking Starbucks, from buying out all their competition 15 years ago.

Plus their core market hates them because the company is in such dire straits that workers are forced to aggressively push membership cards and extended warranties on everything. I swear they'd try to push a game protection guarantee if I bought a pack of Sour Patch Kids from their store. Their corporate is also massively stupid. When they have big national trade in promotions I have been able to basically have them buy me new games a few times. I'll miss them when they go under.

Investment Firms Are the Big Winners of the GameStop Stock Revolution So Far
The entities that own the majority of GameStop stock (https://news.gamestop.com/stock-information/institutional-ownership) are also humongous investment firms and private equity. These entities, such as Fidelity and BlackRock, all own millions of GameStop shares each.
Take BlackRock, the massive investment fund which seems to own a chunk of every company, including 13.2 percent of GameStop. BlackRock owned about 9.2 million shares worth about $174 million in December 2020 according to an SEC filing published on Tuesday (https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1326380/000083423721001340/0000834237-21-001340-index.htm). That stake is worth about $3.1 billion right now.
Board member Ryan Cohen—who paid roughly $76 million for his 13 percent (https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/gamestop-stock-price-investment-ryan-cohen-chewy-founder-1700-return-2021-1-1030000866)—is also sitting on a stake approximately worth $3 billion.
There's also Donald Foss, founder and former chief executive of subprime auto lender Credit Acceptance Corp.
He bought 5 percent of Gamestop last February (https://www.crainsdetroit.com/investing/michigan-billionaire-don-foss-sees-his-gamestop-stock-value-balloon-gamestop-traders#:~:text=Foss%20held%20about%205.3%20percen t%20of%20the%20company.) for $12 million, it's nearly worth $1.2 billion now.

wallstreetbets is taking some hedge funds to the cleaners, but plenty of big funds are banking off of it. The whole thing seems like a scam. wouldn't surprise me if at least some pros are behind this short squeeze. Pros maybe tell normal people to "stick it to the man" on wall street and instead most average Joes stick it to themselves.
