    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.

        Education is extremely important.

          Our ticker symbol was GME for a while in the mid 1980s

            EDS? Or Perot Data Systems?

            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.

                Ah, that makes sense.

                  Too early to say for sure but it appears GME had a rapid unscheduled disassembly today.

                    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                      I suspect most of them will have capital losses to carryover for years or even decades to come.

                          Here we go again?

                          https://www.cnbc.com/2024/05/14/gamestop-amc-shares-jump-another-40percent-in-premarket-trading-as-meme-stock-craze-returns.html

                          GameStop, AMC shares jump another 50% in premarket trading as meme stock craze returns

                          The meme stock phenomenon appears to have been reignited by a recent social media from "Roaring Kitty." The man, whose legal name is Keith Gill, posted a picture on the X platform of a video gamer sitting forward on their chair — a meme used by gamers to indicate they are taking the game seriously.
