    Squeezes like this rarely end well,

    He spelled ‘never’ wrong.

    They’ll end up, after a lot of drama, with the same formula they use every time they have a trifecta: take away health care and food assistance from low income families and use the money to fund tax cuts for their donors.

      I suspect the 3 million kids bought options with their stimulus money for 320 not caring if they lost that. I doubt they can come up with 32k so it should be very interesting to see how this unwinds.

        I don’t know what broker is offering margin to guys with small accounts unless they have other positions to cover it.

        But I don’t really know what’s out there these days.

          They've moved on to PMs. Specifically, silver.

          “Cry havoc and let slip the DOGE of war!”

          Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton

                    Even Zizek has a GameStop take.

                          It's taken a beating in after hours trading. It closed at about 220.

                            @lufins-dad It’s pretty much impossible to borrow

                              Ha! It's one thing to "know" (as we all did) that a stock's price will soon plummet. It's another to put money on the short knowing there is in theory no limit to the losses you could incur if the stock price goes to the moon.

                                Even if you can put up the money and have enough money in reserve to withstand the risk, sometimes there is no stock for you to borrow to “short” the stock. Recall I linked to an article earlier about more than 100% of GameStop stock have been shorted. That’s a pretty good indication that there is none left to be borrowed.

                                  We are likely at peak GameStop. Now it’s gets tough. In heroin lingo it’s called chasing the dragon.

                                    GME price movement must be nearly unprecedented. In the first 2.5 hours of trading today, it's fallen by 50%, then doubled, then fallen again by 25%. And that's all from an opening price of 40% less than the close the day before.
