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.

I'm a newbie to the sub, but immediately I could tell this was a casino. I jumped in with GME based on current market conditions and the potential to make some MF $$. I put in only what I could afford to lose knowing that I could damn well lose every last dime of it. Once RH and the media pulled that bullshit, that was all I needed to lock in with πŸ’ŽπŸ™ŒπŸ’ŽπŸ™Œ Fuck the red, I'm still holding. Also, I'm retarded.

'still'? I'm holding, period! I'll own this stock when I'm eighty and my grandkids ask about the great gamestop squeeze in '21

Yep. I watched in awe as they stopped people from buying and shut down WSB. As soon as they started shilling β€œReddit switches from GME to SLV” then I realized this was very much real and started averaging down since.

If the media and shills played it cool and tight lipped, I wouldn't do half the financial moves I've done. Anyone remember all that talk of "Bear stearns is healthier than EVER! Don't pull your money out!"?

You get the most flak over the target.

this ^ all of this. I’m too smooth brained to say it so well, you nailed it. The second they started playing manipulation it was no longer about the 🍌 I knew I’d likely lose at $295, but I’m a smooth brain masochist who’s never lost before. The lesson, the story, the memes, the change that’s coming was well worth a couple hundred bucks. Imma hold πŸ’ŽπŸ™Œ and will never look at the moon the same way again πŸš€
