Today, GME share price closed at US$92 - a price likely set by the HF/MF manipulators to sell their US$10 GME shares bought a few months ago, at US$90 = profits of 900% for the HF/MF.

Similar to how MLM scams eventually die out when they run out of numbers in recruiting new gullible investors after 1 to 2 years in operation = the MLM masterminds disappear and abscond with the $ millions collected from those who bought in late or last, to start a new MLM scam a few years later(most gullible folks have short memory); ....
... Share scams, like the likely Gamestonk/short-squeeze scam, often eventually die out or Game Over, with the share price dropping down back to earth from its peak prices(eg GME share price will likely drop down to about US$10 from its peak of US$478 last week) when the scams run out of gullible Retail investors willing to buy the share at high prices, eg around US$90 for GME share = the HF/MF masterminds will then move on to later manipulate another company share or commodity or foreign currency or etc with a new scam.

OTOH, if there remains many gullible Retail investors willing to buy GME shares at US$90, then this high price will stay for awhile, maybe for a few weeks.
....... But Gamestop Corp has little fundamentals as a profitable business = it may even go bankrupt = the high price of US$90 per GME share is not sustainable in the long run, ie after all the HF/MF have sold off all their GME shares at huge US$ billion profits and the hype at r/Wallstreetbets has become stale news, eg in March 2021.

P S - Note that the HF/MF and others have also made huge profits by short-selling GME shares at about US$300 last Friday and this Monday.

Caveat Emptor or Buyers Beware.!

Maybe he knows the price will drop temporarily and he perhaps wanted to sell and make a profit first, then buy again when it drops.

If he cash out already and not planning to care about the stock, it doesn't make sense for him to tell ppl to continue holding. Unless he got ties with these HF and brokerages.

In his Q&A he also answered other questions regarding stock behavior, GME upper management, etc.

"Legally, hedge funds are most often set up as private investment limited partnerships that are open to a limited number of accredited investors and require a large initial minimum investment. Investments in hedge funds are illiquid as they often require investors to keep their money in the fund for at least one year, a time known as the lock-up period. Withdrawals may also only happen at certain intervals such as quarterly or bi-annually. "
= Most Hedge-Fund investors are billionaires and millionaires, eg Mark Cuban and Elon Musk, ie not ordinary Retail investors. It is foolish for Retail investors to believe/trust in them or HF investors about holding GME shares at the price of >US$90.

Seems you are one of those scam victims holding GME shares at a price of >US$200 that were bought last week = have been left holding the bag of BIG losses. sad.gif

Today, GME share price closed at US$53.

GME share price was about US$20 at the beginning of Jan 2021. Do you think it will shoot up again to > the peak price of US$478 that was reached last Wednesday, 27 Jan 2021.? I doubt it.

Remember, the Hedge-funds/Mutual-funds horded millions of GME shares at a price of about US$10 each a few months ago, ie in Sep 2020, GME share price was about US$10. If you had bought GME shares earlier today at the dip of about US$60 each, the HF/MF were still profiting about 600% by selling their US$10 GME shares to you.
....... And if the GME share price drops to < US$40 tomorrow, you will suffer substantial losses.

There is a saying, "Once bitten, twice shy." = it's doubtful that many bitten buyers will begin to rush back in again for GME/Gamestop shares at prices of US$100 or US$200 or US$300 or US$400. Would you.?

Note that before this Gamestop fiasco, Hedge-funds and Mutua-funds held about 100 million of Gamestop/GME shares, likely bought a few months ago at US$5 or less, eg in Aug 2020 or earlier. ....... https://fintel.io/so/us/gme

Today, ie Friday night NY time, GME share price closed at US$64 from US$53 yesterday = there are still some gullible Retail investors willing to pay about US$70 for each GME share = still 1400% profits for the HF/MF who had bought GME shares at US$5 and sold them today at US$70.

If these HF/MF have sold 50 million of their US$5 GME shares at US$305 last Friday or this Monday = profitted about US$15 billion or 6,000%. Bank fixed deposits is only giving about 3% annual interest and EPF about 6%.

"GameStop, the poster child of a recent speculative retail trading frenzy, tumbled below $50 apiece on Tuesday, as the massive short squeeze took effect and investors booked profits.

The brick-and-mortar video game retailer fell more than 20% to a session low of $46.52 a share on Tuesday, following an 80% drop last week for its worst weekly performance ever. GameStop closed Tuesday’s session 16.2% lower at $50.31.

At its all-time high on Jan. 28, the stock was going for $483 a share."
.

"Short interest in GameStop as a percentage of shares available for trading dropped to about 50% Friday from more than 130% two weeks ago, according to data from S3 Partners. So most of the short bets have been covered and there isn’t any significant force from short sellers to keep fueling the squeeze.

Trading volume also fell sharply this week as the retail momentum slowed down.

Some on Wall Street compare GameStop’s short squeeze to Volkswagen’s in 2008 when the German automaker briefly became the biggest company in the world."
.

"Other stocks that have seen heightened speculative trading activities are also unwinding. AMC Entertainment has fallen 20% this week following a 48% decline last week. Koss has dropped 11% this week and 68% in the prior week.

Wall Street breathed a sigh of relief as the frenzy turned out to be limited within a handful of names and seemed to have died down. Many had been worried that it could spill over to other areas of the market and have a more negative impact on investor confidence.

“We know financial conditions are supportive and investors have gotten more enthusiastic. ... But this does not mean the stock market is in a speculative bubble,” Kristina Hooper, chief global market strategist at Invesco, said."

Today - Friday, 12 Feb 2021 NY time, GME/Gamestop share price closed at US$52.40, from its yesterday's close of US$51.10 = no surge in price because of Melvin Capital/HFs needing to close its/their short-selling positions.

I see this as BIG Shark manipulators, eg HF and MF, fixing the price at around US$50 per share, so that they can still sell their US$5 GME shares bought a few months ago, to remaining gullible Retail investors at US$50 = a 1,000% profit, eg those Gamestonk Retail investors hoping for a 2nd short-squeeze or for a wild exuberant Tesla/Bitcoin-like rally towards US$1,000 per GME share.

GME/Gamestop share price closed today at about US$40, from its previous close of about US$45.

Like I said you are looking at it the wrong way. There are many hedge funds not just one or two. Hedge Fund Group A are holding the stocks. They are the one who bought and hold long time ago. Then there's Hedge Fund Group B, these are the ones that short GME from $20 to $5 hoping that GME will go bankrupt. Then there's Hedge Fund Group C that started shorting from the highs of $300 to now.

The problem is Hedge Fund B claimed that they already closed out their positions which many suspects is not true because the volumes traded didnt commensurate with their claims. Then there's also Hedge Fund C who has to eventually close their positions. The question is, are there enough shares outstanding to close their positions or not? Remember the short interest was more than 100+% at the peak of the GME frenzy. Likely Hedge Fund A are lending their shares for them to short, eventually they have to unwind their positions to close the trade. Also remember the borrowing cost to short the shares are high for Hedge Fund C so every day they are shorting is everyday they are bleeding cash in the open position.

My personal take is, Hedge Fund A are very happy sitting in their position right now, they can watch B and C bleeding day by day, until they close their positions to maximise their returns. There is no collusion afaik, at the end of the day, its all about maximization of profits.

.
Not forgetting the millions of gullible Retail investors influenced by Gamestonkers and HODLers like #DeepFuckingValue at r/Wallstreetbets to buy Gamestop/GME shares at US$100, US$200, US$300 and US$400 from 26-29 Jan 2021, in order to supposedly "short-squeeze" certain Hedge-funds and hoping the share price would shoot to the moon to >US$1,000 through their collective buying of pumped-up GME shares.
....... Turns out, those loser Retail investors likely got scammed since GME share price closed today at US$40 and has been heading downwards since 1 Feb 2021(= was at about US$300 then). At the then GME share price of US$300, some HF/MF and smart Retail investors shorted the share and are now cashing in their profits. These are likely true facts. What you said are likely not based on true facts, ie are just hearsay or rumours. .......

https://www.wsj.com/livecoverage/gamestop-s...eddit-robinhood - Lawmaker Cites Salvador Vergara’s Losses - 11 hours ago
"Rep. Jim Himes (D., Conn.) cited the trading losses of Salvador Vergara during Thursday's congressional hearing. The Wall Street Journal reported that Mr. Vergara was so enthusiastic about GameStop Corp. shares that he took out a $20,000 personal loan and used it to buy shares. He now faces big losses as the stock plunged.

Many individual investors said that they piled into GameStop shares to see professional investors deal with losses. But Mr. Vergara’s losses highlight the difficulty in determining winners and losers of the GameStop mania. Not all retail investors notched big gains, and not all institutional investors dealt with losses."


It was anonymous DFV aka Keith Gill who impersonated as an ordinary Retail investor on Reddit, who also hyped the short-queeze of Hedge-funds who had held large short-positions on GME shares in early Jan 2021. This caused many gullible Retail investors to pile into GME shares at >US$100 prices at end Jan 2021 and became losers/suckers as above.

Melvin's Plotkin: Options Trading Drove GameStop's Stock
By Gunjan Banerji - 12 hours ago

Melvin Capital's Gabe Plotkin said that options activity appeared to be a bigger driver of GameStop Corp.'s wild stock moves than short covering.

Options trading tied to GameStop hit a high during the recent frenzy, and many said that hedging activity tied to the stock on behalf of options dealers helped stoke volatility in its shares.

"I really think the biggest driver was the aggressive options activity," said Mr. Plotkin.

Bearish bets tied to GameStop have dwindled since the start of the year, data from IHS Markit shows.

.

What you mentioned about Melvin Capital may be a scripted scenario to bait and trap gullible Retail investors, like the acting in a scripted movie or TV show - typical of pump-and-dump schemes. Did you believe also in the Ponzi scheme of Bernie Madoff or in the Nigerian Prince inheritance Internet scams.?

lmaooo.. do you even know how to do maths??

20k in GME stocks, even at their highest ever price of 400USD per share will get you 50 shares of GME stock. If 10 million retarded retail investors bought 50 shares at 400USD per share, that is equivalent of 50million shares being held.

Problem is, there are only 45million shares available.. even less than that considering long term holders and the majority of people certainly didn't invest into GME at the highest price but instead, around 20-100 price range.

So how the fuck did you arrive at your stupid assumptions and figures? LOL

worship is one thing. Not making any sense in his posts is another. LOL..

Melvin Capital is a profit-based HF. You believe in them saying they lost US$8 billion in Jan 2021.? I'll only believe it when I see their Annual Financial Report showing such a loss.

Let's conservatively say, US$20,000 X 10 million gullible Retail investors around the world like yourself = US$200 billion of profits for the HF/MF. There was a screenshot here showing someone lost his life savings of US$140,000 in this GME fiasco.

lmaooo.. do you even know how to do maths??

20k in GME stocks, even at their highest ever price of 400USD per share will get you 50 shares of GME stock. If 10 million retarded retail investors bought 50 shares at 400USD per share, that is equivalent of 50million shares being held.

Problem is, there are only 45million shares available.. even less than that considering long term holders and the majority of people certainly didn't invest into GME at the highest price but instead, around 20-100 price range.

So how the fuck did you arrive at your stupid assumptions and figures? LOL
worship is one thing. Not making any sense in his posts is another. LOL..

Thats 500 million shares btw, not 50 million using his assumptions and figures

Bro, the numbers are from your own mouth, tell us how the heck are you able to buy 500 million shares when only 100 million shares are available??

I was just giving a ballpark figure of 10 million and US$200 billion profits, which I admit was quite over-estimated. Like Liamness who bought only 20 GME shares, a better estimate would be an average US$10,000 loss per Retail investor and 4 million of them = US$40 billion profits for the HF/MF during the week of 26-29 Jan 2021.

You are grossly mistaking losses.. lmaoo.. I'm only down 500 USD overall. And can easily DCA right now if it drops any further if I wanted to.
No way it drops to 5 bucks without some fuckery. I have plenty more cash reserves if or when that happens. Difference is I'm paying with cold hard cash. Unlike the HF, I dont have a broker on my back asking for their margin.

Your smaller US$500 loss is only because you bought your 20 GME shares at about US$100 each in early Feb 2021, ie not at about US$350 per share on 26-29 Jan 2021. You cut your losses by selling half of the 20 shares at US$70 about 1 week later.

Afaik, a GME share can be loaned out many times to short-sellers = 45 million available GME shares can become 90 million shares, ie 100%. .......

" GameStop Corp. (US:GME) has 491 institutional owners and shareholders that have filed 13D/G or 13F forms with the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC). These institutions hold a total of 109,457,322 shares. Largest shareholders include Fmr Llc, BlackRock Inc., FDMLX - Fidelity Series Intrinsic Opportunities Fund, Melvin Capital Management LP, Vanguard Group Inc, Senvest Management, LLC, Susquehanna International Group, Llp, Maverick Capital Ltd, Morgan Stanley, and Dimensional Fund Advisors Lp. "
It's likely that most of the above Institutional investors have dumped their millions of US$5 GME shares(bought in Aug 2020 or earlier)  at end Jan 2021 to millions of gullible Retail investors at >US$100 per share.

May I know how you arrive at your estimate and how is this better? What rationale did you use to arrive at that figure? Simply pick a number out of thin air. Even with your revised numbers that means 100 million shares ON TOP of institutional holdings of another 100 million shares, thats 200 million total shares when outstanding shares of the company is only 79 million.

So let me ask you again, how is it possible for the extra 120 million shares to exist?

Actually, a better estimate would be if the HF/MF managed to dump 60 million of their GME shares(bought for about US$5 per share in Aug 2020 or earlier) onto gullible Retail investors(= Gamestonkers) for about US$305 per share during the pump on 26-29 Jan 2021, their profits would be about US$18 billion.

Sounds like you are just making up numbers from thin air. And clearly you dont know what you are talking about. I rest my case here.

Seems, as of Sep 2020, Melvin Capital owned 5.4 million GME shares. If so, why would MC short-sell GME shares in Dec 2020 and early Jan 2021.? Even if it did, wasn't its short-sell already covered by the 5.4 million GME shares it owned.?
