>more than half of all robinhood users own some gamestop stock
Okay, this is starting to make sense, I'm about to do a massive infodump in the comments, get ready folks.

 The tl;dr is this: Melvin Capital made an overleveraged short on gamestop last week which was floated to 140% of all available shares. Since xmas GME has been doing well thanks to console releases and so on. Few days ago, a new CEO from Chewys got on board and price 2x to $40
A user on reddit, deepfuckingvalue had been holding it and buying various pulls on the stock since last year as a YOLO option with a possible initial investment of $56,000. It has since ballooned to tens of millions if he sells it at all.
So, with that redditor being popular last week as well as the leveraged shorts that Melvin explicitly went on youtube/social media to call resulted in WSB jumping on them for even daring to short it. As such, media attention started to pop up and speculation happened.
On Friday, the 21st, a gameplan was made to pump the stock up to initiate the beginning of a short squeeze and prevent the shorts from profiting for melvin & citron (another hedge fund that also shorted GME). For whatever reason, the stock price jumped up to $69 at EOD.
From there, rampant speculation and info sharing started to leak out from the subreddit/4chan's /biz/ board. People learned about the short squeeze, saw what happened with volkswagen back in 2008, and had a massive fear of missing out as a result. Come Mon-25th, price opens @ 93.
The stock price just keeps inflating and more meme stocks get thrown around (AMC, BBY, BB, NAKD, etc) as a collective lulzy troll effortpost to fuck up the markets and make an impact. Melvin then takes a FURTHER loan to short the stock out even more on tuesday 26th 4th time short
But here's the twist. He takes out a multi billion dollar loan from none other than Citadel and Point 72. https://t.co/Gh0jClJxIK

Citadel makes money from the metainfo from robinhood app (that's why there's no commissions)
https://t.co/DIIvSa3Kty
So these two giants colluded behind scenes to consolidate their collective short/bet for "reasons" on TUESDAY. After markets close, ELON FUCKING MUSK tweeted about the subreddit and the story breaks. Everyone and their mother is hyped for a chance to punch wall street.
So, that's what happened on Wednesday. The stock price BALOONED and held there all day. Lots of crying and shitting and news coverage happened as a result and people were celebrating at how the little guy just might punch the fat cats on wall street with our collective influence
This morning, on Thursday, robinhood and ALL OF THE OTHER RETAIL STOCK TRADING APPS prevented ANYONE from buying GME/AMC&other meme stocks due to "volatility and protecting everyone's best interests :^)" You can sell though *wink wink* >:^D
As such, we saw GME hold for a little bit, but it's since been plummeting and swinging wildly. IF SOMEHOW people can still hodl their stocks and keep the price high, the hedge funds will have to eat absolute shit on Friday as they're forced to continually buy ON THROUGH NEXT WEEK
There's a VERY strong chance reddit/discord/average joes will be the scrapegoat holding the bag at the end of all of this, but if we continue to make moves in the markets (by buying silver which is sorted and will hurt the MAJOR BANKS a lot rather than hedge funds) shit will flow
But here's the outrageous and dangerous rub. The federal government is watching us. The other week, the new Secretary of Treasury, Janet Yellen (gets paid millions to speak 2 WS btw) said they're "considering taxing unrealized capital gains" including "cryptocurrencies)
https://t.co/Yh1mTCeLnn
Here's the link for that exact quote.

If this tax gets passed as a way for the federal government to say "see, we did something for the little guy, we taxed wall street :^)" what will really happen is WS will find loopholes and RH users will pay BIG TAXES
So THANKS BIDEN! THANKS JANNY YELLEN! THANKS WALL STREET! THANKS US GOVERNMENT! THANKS FEDERAL RESERVE! WOWEE WHAT A GREAT FINANCIAL SYSTEM WE HAVE HERE FOLKS, WE SURE DO LOVE OUR GREENBACKS DON'T WE?! MMM OIL BACKED DOLLARS PRINTED OFF GOING BRRRR BETWEEN FED TO BIG BANKS & BACK
So, when all the bets are off the table, when we get banned from social media platforms, when we take action against symbolic institutional buildings of power, when our mom&pop businesses, restaurants and main streets are closed due to covid, when we can't afford rent -
and only get a $1,200 and $600 check from the federal government and told to wear our masks and comply... People take radical action and effectively terrorize the system as a result. Final message: HODL LINE BIG GUYS! WE WILL NOT BEND OUR KNEES! BREAK THE SYSTEM'S BACK
Oh yes, one final post script: Read this thread as well, it's got some intriguing information. This green text explicitly explains just how much damage this play could have on the system if we continue to hodl.

So..had a great conversation last night with older investment types, old friends whom I traded with/against and managed money against or for. Age diff from me is > 10+ years so the takes were interesting but the common theme was a little disturbing (depends on your view)

Was looking at the landscape of the world & quite concerned where we are (I do not share your optimism for a shinny happy future). I am a Bond guy + Cycles & my view approach is ALWAYS what is the worst that can happen (that is how I was taught to trade & manage money) As a Bond

Money manager you never every want to apologize for a negative year, most people don't understand bonds can lose lots and lots and lots of money. So my view on life is always negative & fuck you approach.

The others are similar but have more equity exposure and FX, one other is really good via commodities so the conversation was from a top down look with some bottom up approaches. So.....after looking at the notes of the great conversation this is how it looked:

basically the world changed 2007/2008 especially North America. The GFC set in motion financial engineering games and here we are. The issues pre this (2000 to 2007) set ALL this up so lots of blame to go around but to pin point certain things the real problems started with QE &

Three things which will make a difference in Your trading Results.

A thread-


1. Clarity- When the mind is free from fear and ego

The first step to successful trading is to be clear about everything you do.

BUT, the reality is that most traders don't even know what they are doing.

And because of this-

They don't have any goals.
They don't have any Trading plan
They don't know what is suitable for them
And the list goes, on and on.

If you are among the people as described above, don't worry, There is nothing wrong with you, almost 90% of Traders are like that.

So, what do you have to do to get CLARITY in your Trading-

Find one style that is suitable to your personality and double down on it.

Why?


In this world where we have plethora of information just one click away, most people are distracted and see a Glowy thing every time they go over the social media.

They Find something new every now and then, jumping from one strategy to another, searching for Holy grail.

A former CIA math genius built a quantitative trading fund that earned more than $100 BILLION for investors.

At 66% return/yr, his track record destroys that of Warren Buffet, George Soros, Carl Icahn, and every investor who ever lived.

The Smartest Billionaire in Finance:


1/28
If you'd have put $100 into Jim Simons' Medallion Fund in 1988, it would be $400M+ today.

By contrast,

$100 in the S&P 500 in 1988, would be $2,000 in 2022. (roughly)

Let that sink in.

2/28
Jim Simons's Medallion fund has had unreasonably high annual returns of 66% across 30 years.

For comparison, Buffet clocked in at about 20%/yr.

Many funds don't make that in a lifetime.

3/28
Even during the financial crisis of 2008, it made a net return of 82.38%.

They make so much money for their investors that they charge 44% in management fees.

The industry standard is 20%.


4/28
It uses math calculations to decide the bulk of its trades, & none of the market trends apply to how it performs.

It wins by finding order in chaos.

The fund is managed by Renaissance Technologies, the parent company founded by the mathematical genius Jim Simons.

In regards to the #CapitolCoup, I’m in a unique position. I monitored forums ahead of time and then was present for the coup itself.

These are my observations based on what I saw and the evidence that’s been collected so far. I reserve the right to adjust my analysis as needed.

Let’s talk about the organization of the coup first. Seeing some people insist that the coup must have been highly planned and coordinated.

Yes and no. This was a #StochasticCoup. We’ll see little evidence of direct communication between Trump and the insurrectionists.

Within the insurrectionists, there was not one group that executed the storming of the Capitol.

Rather, there were a number of smaller groups working independently towards the same goal. I expect you’ll see little evidence that these various groups communicated with each other.

What you will see is detailed planning and coordination within these small groups.

Then there were the joyriders, those Trump supporters who weren’t directly involved in any plotting but who were more than happy to go along for the ride once the coup was in motion.

After four years, the insurrectionists were carefully attuned to Trump’s messaging.

Every tweet and statement of his was treated as marching orders and carefully dissected for meaning.

It’s why shutting down Trump’s Twitter account was so important.

#TodayInHistory Ram Prasad Bismil,Ashfaqullah Khan and Roshan Singh are hanged in 1927, as they give up their life for the cause of freedom and inspire many a revolutionary. #LestWeForget


Shahjahanpur was a hub of revolution during the freedom struggle. Most of the revolutioaries in the North, were from this town. And among them, the most famous were two friends, whom destiny would bring together- Ram Prasad Bismil and Ashfaqullah Khan.

Ashfaqullah Khan was born at the turn of the 20th century on October 22, while Bismil was born 3 years earlier on June 11, in the same town. Both of them were excellent writers in Urdu and Hindi.

Both of them would come together under the Hindustan Republican Association, not to mention the fact that Ashfaq was an admirer of Bismil’s poetry, and became close friends with him on that account.

And both these men were hanged on the same date, December 19, 1927 for their involvement in the Kakori event. Two men from different religions, different backgrounds, yet destiny would bring them together.

I doubt there are many outside of Norway that know that the Norwegian pop group A-ha was critical in the introduction of electric car incentives in Norway. I certainly didn't. Read on...


In 1989, two members of the group, Morten Harket and Magne Furuholmen were in Switzerland with environmentalist Frederic Hauge, when they came across a hobby-converted Fiat Panda. Stated range: 45 km. They snapped it up and imported it to Norway.

Photo: In Switzerland (Bellona)


On arrival in Norway, the regs didn't accommodate the registration of electric cars so it couldn't legally be driven on the road. Since it had a propane-fuelled heater, just like a motorhome, they registered it as a motorhome.

Moreover, in contrast to petrol cars, diesel cars paid registration fees based on how far they were driven, and our heroes thought this should also apply to electric cars. So the two-seater Swiss-converted Fiat Panda was registered as a diesel motorhome in Norway.

They managed (somehow) to avoid paying the one-off registration fee in 1990, and ever since then electric cars have been exempted this now-substantial fee.

THE UNTOLD TALE OF THE LESSER KNOWN WARRIORS:JOGRAJ GURJAR & RAMPYARI GURJAR AND HOW DID THEY DEFEAT THE CRUELEST ISLAMIC INVADER, TIMUR LANG.

Timur Lang, was the founder of Timurid Empire. He was born in April 1336 CE, somewhere in central asia.


During his reign, he conquered Persia, Egypt, Central Asia and emerged as the most powerful and heinous ruler. He was a religious fanatic like the rest of the Islamic invaders who tried to invade India.

Timur Lang decided to invade India in 1398 as he heard about India's splendid wealth and had a desire to conquer India which his ancestor Genghis Khan couldn't do.


After Firoz Shah's demise in1388, Delhi Sultanate was in a state of political turmoil.During this time, Timur sent his grandson Pir Mohammad to attack Indian front. He invaded Multan&was able to defeat Iqbal Khan's brother but when he met with resistance,he asked help from Timur.


Iqbal Khan secured his hold on Delhi under Muhammad Tughluq after Firoz Shah died.
Timur provided the required back-up to his grandson with 100000 men approx. Timur sacked and plundered all the cities coming in his way &later in October 1398 reunited with his grandson.
