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

Horace- how is your silver doing? Did you hold?
Currently up 100% from when I bought it. I don't have plans to sell, though.
Nobody ever went broke counting on the kindness of strangers.

@89th should have shorted!

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.

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