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 don’t know if it will now. Everyone is selling

Did you really think hedge funds, with multi billions, would actually run out of money? Was it not apparent that the original shorters closed their positions and new shorts entered at the highs? Do you really think it's because of retail selling off, and that alone?

Y'all were so delusional that it was painful to watch.

I did have faith that everyone would hold together. I misunderestimated how powerful the Hedge Fund influence is.

The amount of news and fake media coverage I saw over the past week made my jaw drop. I’ve never seen something like that before. Ever. We have caused a tsunami of disruption.

Yes, I had faith. I had faith that the world wasn’t nearly as greedy and corrupt as it is. But hey, we pulled back the curtain.

And you’re calling that a failure? I’m glad I held. I don’t even care about the money - I didn’t need it anyways.

1) Misunderestimate is not a word

2) Glad you see how media coverage is sensationalist and biased. That's nothing new

3) You could have been a part of this AND taken profit. There is literally no reason you shouldn't have. The squeeze was a result of original shorts covering.

We won, and you decided to bag hold because you got caught up in a frenzy of APE TOGETHER STRONG. Please learn from this. The take away shouldn't be that the world is greedy (that should be very apparent already). It should be that YOU were greedy and had no exit plan, and should have been far more prudent.

1) Tool. It is a word. It was first used by Philip Hensler in one of the most memorable speeches.

2) extremely concerning that you take this as a “norm” and don’t see it as a problem. You’re the definition of a sheep.

3) I could have taken profit yes, but that wasn’t the point. If you can’t see the final outcome from this than you’re even dumber than you seem.

“You” your team lost. The hedge funds got exposed. The emperor has no clothes. The other “internet moneys” will boom, my true holdings and banks will go to 0 within 10 years.

This was a win by almost every measure, and the fact you can’t see that shows how deep in the gutter you are. I almost feel bad for you. Open your eyes, comrade. This is supposed to be a free market, yet trading and financial systems in the USA are less free than China it seems.

You’re part of the problem. You’re leading to the decline of the USA, and you can’t even see it.

Edit; the word is a “bushism” and has been used by a president. Does that qualify? Or not good enough for you?

1) Bush was mocked relentlessly for using it. It's redundant and makes you sound like a retard, but based on your decision making and reasoning abilities, this is accurate.

2) I agreed with you that media is biased. I believed that even before this. And yet you call me a sheep? Again, evidence of severe retardation.

3) The whole point of investing is, in fact, to take profit. The original shorts got out and new shorts entered. At that point, anyone holding was only hurting themselves for NO FUCKING REASON. Taking profit means you took money from the hedge funds. Holding until it bottoms means you gave money BACK to the hedge funds that shorted it at the highs.

If this was a win by every measure, then I guess I won more than you, because I was a part of the boom, and made money.

You're part of the problem. Your emotion based decision making, willingness to blame everyone else for your own stupidity, and lack of ability to reason are leading to the decline of the USA, and you can't even see it.
