Rules for Thee But Not For Me

but that slime ball saying hilton hotel will go broke and then profiting from shorting it is ok?

Our commodity markets need and want fund money including short sellers, etc
This creates volumes, liquidity and yes volatility.
Smart farmers should see the opportunities, if given all the information, that exporters and importers have.

When you can make contracts up out of thin air. Nothing good will come of it. If the markets had to trade on the actual amount of a commodity it would be a different story.

These reddit guys are probably in trouble. You cant raise a stock just by lots of people buying it. There are stocks that trade in the millions everyday and dont move more than a percent or two a day.

To drive something from $50 to $350 in a few days would require consecutive trades where one buyer agrees to offer it up at higher price and somebody agrees to hit that in a consecutive fashion and the only way to do that is through coordination through an instantaneous platform like social media. All the at the same time they let people who were in early take a little profit on the way up.

They may have bitten off more than they can chew.

Oh indeed, the silly little boys.

They should learn to hide their collu8sion like the big boys do.

This is what happened and they didn't like being on the receiving end -

What's happening.

As Erroll pointed out the stock market hasn't been straight at least since the dive in March.
Just one big pump.

One such user, a Redditor who goes by the name*Space-Peanut, has a very personal reason for tossing their match onto the pyre.

Read below (emphasis ours):

This is for you, Dad.

I remember when the housing collapse sent a torpedo through my family.*My father's concrete company collapsed almost overnight. My father lost his home. My uncle lost his home. I remember my brother helping my father count pocket change on our kitchen table. That was all the money he had left in the world. While this was happening in my home,*I saw hedge funders literally drinking champagne as they looked down on the Occupy Wall Street protestors. I will never forget that.

My Father never recovered from that blow. He fell deeper and deeper into alcoholism and exists now as a shell of his former self,*waiting for death.

This is all the money I have and I'd rather lose it all than give them what they need to destroy me. Taking money from me won't hurt me, because i don't value it at all. I'll burn it all down just to spite them.

This is for you, Dad.




Robinhood just limited 36 stocks to only 1 share buy limits per day. Dirty!

The Reddit Army that is Crushing Wall Street - Social media is a game-changer. Anyone can say anything and one should be cognicent of that fact. Even our industry could be victimized by on-line slander - or unfounded claims. It’s a new world and any little crappy flooded gold mine can be pumped 1000x on a whim. These are dangerous times - and maybe lucrative times if you are in on the run. When babies laying in parents’s basements and kids on school laptops figure out the power of mass influence they gain by joining forces, anything can happen.
