Maybe I'm just getting old. Yes reddit is a brilliant website and there's so many good communities. Wall streets bets is a bit mental but there are more sane subreddita like r/investing or stocks etc which is a bit more chilled out. Anyway I sold 5 of my 14.5 shares this evening. Sold 5 for £1222 total. I put 1k into gme on Monday. Could and maybe should have held longer but don't want to let the greed get hold of me too much. I've got my money back and the rest of the shares I'm holding until Friday and I don't care if it crashes or dips or whatever. These guys can **** thsemlves and I wanna see them go bankrupt the willy pullers. Tomorrow is going to be absolutely crazy. They are going to throw everything at us to stop this happening. I expect laws to come in after this to stomp out the little man. Edited 28 January by Christoph 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Turtles Head 162 Posted 28 January Report Share Posted 28 January Is it too late to get involved in this? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Christoph 486 Posted 28 January Report Share Posted 28 January 44 minutes ago, Turtles Head said: Is it too late to get involved in this? For gme? Probably or atleast it is much riskier. Shares likely to open at around 290 dollars maybe 300. So it's risky if it crashes as your going to be left holding the bag. Saying that though there were tons of people on reddit buying in at 300/330 etc putting thousands in. Obviously if it hits 400-500 then your already up. It's going to crash hard on Friday because of people selling based on the contracts being expired however the shorts that the hedgefund are doing do not have an expiry date. So to keep squeezing the shorters it could go on for another week or even longer depending on who gives up first. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shane 1,477 Posted 28 January Report Share Posted 28 January Normal, everyday people making money off the wall street vultures instead of the other way around.. Beautiful scenes. Now the billionaire crybabies want to halt trade on GME for 30 days, are begging for bailouts, want new laws and have forced discord to close down the wallstreetbets channel! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RoboFox 4,114 Posted 28 January Report Share Posted 28 January (edited) I'm an absolute noob but a regular Reddit browser and my curiosity has been piqued by this. This is the best article I've been able to find to explain it. Although the GME horse has most likely bolted, is there likely be more of these instances until people get bored or the huge investment firms find a way to stop it from happening? What apps are people using? Edited 28 January by RoboFox Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Carl the Llama 9,709 Posted 28 January Report Share Posted 28 January (edited) https://finviz.com/quote.ashx?t=GME&ty=c&p=d&b=1 Still shorted at 140% (short float), don't believe the news. But also be a lot more cautious about getting in on the action because the price is way more volatile now. 7 minutes ago, RoboFox said: I'm an absolute noob but a regular Reddit browser and my curiosity has been piqued by this.

What apps are people using? There won't be anything on this level, no. It's the short position which has made it possible, if you look at the other meme stocks none of them are in a similar position, but that doesn't mean they won't experience smaller rises. This is not financial advice, I have no idea what I'm talking about. Edited 28 January by Carl the Llama Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No, for the reason I mentioned a few posts up. But they are one of the big focuses of WSB so I expect some legs. NOK, EXPR, BB, NAKD, all worth a little shout if you believe in the power of strangers on the internet. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lol wasn't me actually laughing. It's clear what they're doing. Cant take the loss, still manipulating the market to save them. Wish I had the liquidity to go in on GME when I heard about it but unfortunately not! Still fun to watch from the sidelines. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Benguin 1,296 Posted 28 January Report Share Posted 28 January Fascinating how this is panning out. People is power but people plus technology is frightening. I am a supporter of capitalism but no one needs multi millions of £ so any multi millionaires losing money is a good thing in my opinion. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Benguin 1,296 Posted 28 January Report Share Posted 28 January Pre market is $450 atm. Looks likely to go $500+ when market opens. All the best to those that caught the worm Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CollinsLCFC 806 Posted 28 January Report Share Posted 28 January I've seen a lot of posts about Trading 212; however they are not onboarding new clients with the GME situation. Is there any catch to T212? What fees are you likely to pay etc? Might set one up in the near future for a bit of a flutter. Is there a difference of fees between the GIA & ISA?
