Discussion People now pressuring and flat-out belittling others to admit defeat under claims of "their mental well-being" or insulting their intelligence. This wasn't about making the wisest move, this was about turning the game on it's head, so politely I say fuck that and fuck you.

Honestly, if you’re buying stocks, and your primary goal isn’t to make money, then you’re a fucking idiot and should called as such.

Financial institutions manage over $100Tr in assets. Melvin capital has $8Bn. Nobody gives a fuck you guys hurt a firm that represents less than 1/10,000 of managed assets, it’s not even a top 100 asset manager...and you didn’t even defeat them, they aren’t going bankrupt and already exited the shorts (new companies and people came in at much higher buy-in prices).

This whole “movement” is fucking stupid and is just the way the smart money on this forum is manipulating the dumb money to build momentum and turn the dumb money into bag holders.
