| I can try from my limited understanding I gathered in the last few days. They pick stocks of companies struggling, which only need a little push. Mostly their financial powers means they can speak self-fulfilling prophecies, I think. "Advice" stock holders. But they also can "attack" stocks directly teaming up, like the short ladder attack we've seen the last few days. Bad press and media manipulation do the rest. Crashing a stock probably means influencing the companies liquidity and if they don't make profit at the moment, that may be the end. Or one of their friends buys then the majority of the company's shares. You know, mafia shit, but with numbers. Overall you can ask yourself: Is it a good idea to allow anybody speculating on someone's loss, when they got enough financial power to make everyone jump? Respective bankruptcy hugely increases the win on betting against a stock, since they don't have to buy back the shares they borrowed. They arrogantly went all in on GME, business as usual... or so they thought :) Just to make this clear, I don't buy into the narrative of wealth redistribution as those profiting are probably in the top 1-2% anyway. But I like to see some of these assholes losing a lot, maybe someone going to prison over this. And well Gamestop and AMC just got a second life in this game. If they get their shit together, they will have a more epic "almost bankrupt" story than Apple. And who know, maybe this will unite people under the clear view who their real enemies are, that it's neither ethnicity, culture or religion dividing them; all their struggles are caused by billionaires playing God. |
