    There is no victory. They basically have two options left

    1. Let this thing run its course and take tens of billions of losses with several hedgefunds blown up (there are similar attempts going on for Silver, Nokia etc.)

    2. Go in with blazing guns and lock down the market + extra restrictions (only trading through mutual funds) in the weeks to come. Would be another huge cover blown off on the nature of what the USA has become. Huge rigging and corruption exposed.



    Three additions: 1.the subreddit wallstreetbets is not your typical SJW bastion and has a /pol/ like Shitlordcharacter. 2.It should also be noted that Blackrock is holding a 13 percent share in GameStop (they basically own everything anyway) 3. Melvin Group is obliged to buy back the 20 000 000 stocks on Friday, which is why more fireworks is expected tomorrow. Lawsuits could also follow

    An interesting detail I learned is the order to limit trading did not officially come from the SEC but came via firms like Citadel - high frequency trading firms that "buy" the order flow from retail brokers. The owner of Citadel just invested in Gabe Plotkin's hedge fund along with Steven Cohen (conflict of interest). This means that firms like Citadel are essentially the Twitters and Facebooks of the financial markets and serve a similar function in acting as unofficial regulators.

    When I heard a CBC radio interviewer brow beat a US Congressman for daring to push for legislation that would give companies
    such as BP real financial consequences for the 2010 Gulf of Mexico blowout disaster it finally hit me that we live in a Brave New World.
    She basically attacked him for trying to rob pensioners because stock market casino investments all of the sudden are guaranteed
    with only ups and no downs for any reason. The response by the puppeteers to the GameStop share action is the same BS, that
    hedge funds are like pension funds and their stock casino activities must be risk free and only have positive gain.

    Now we see why the Dow Jones has been on a nearly secular rise for the last few decades. It is was all theater even before
    the coming out of the closet of PC totalitarianism. Reality is not something that is all that easy to grasp. We get some information
    and our brains "hand wave" with plausibility scenarios to assimilate it. But what is actually happening can be utterly different.
    Just because we think we know the truth, does not mean that we do. Take the stability of the bicycle as an example. I swallowed
    the BS as most other people that it is the gyroscopic action of the spinning wheels. It turns out that it is not this effect and
    the potential other explanation of "caster" stabilization. This is not a joke, the if totally false information can pass off as plausible
    and legit in this case, then the same applies to anything else that has any sort of complexity to it which cannot be instantly
    categorized into true and false.

    Well, so blazing guns it is.

    In the end it's not really surprising. These people really have a very small play ook. The fact that they own the entire country + all politicians/ judges doesn't help either

    The Sec has first made the brokers stop the buying-option, you can only sell

    And when that didn't prove enough, they pressured the brokers (most notably Robinhood) into AUTOSELLING their customers stocks

    Yes, they are automatically selling the stocks of the peasants without their consent.

    Unreal.

    4.6 million people being smeared as white supremacist Nazis who need to be rounded up for the good of society.

    Anyone who still thinks that the PC lunatics running the asylum are sane is detached from reality. We are sliding
    fast into a totalitarian toilet. (I count myself in this slide since I live in Canada).

    @kvs

    You've mentioned several times that you live in Canada.

    Why stay there? I assume you are a Russian citizen? Why not sell your properties now that the Canadian currency still has some worth and buy a dasha somewhere beautiful

    Those who know their history, recognise the tells and don't let themselves get fooled by the empty suits on television regurgitating talking points. They know what's up and where this is going.

    I personally left my home country nearly a decade ago (for different reasons obviously). With every year that passes I see less incentive to ever go back, let alone raise my children there.

    EDIT: turns out he is just using a different play from the playbook

    I am not a Russian citizen. And I have enough immigration experience to know that is too much of a bother. I have been away for
    decades and would need to start from scratch.

    But who knows, if the lunacy gets to the point of internment camps being opened up, I may have to run away.

    I would probly buy some property elsewhere, be it Alaska or Russia, just to have someplace to run towards, in Alaska's case, that property should include a Bunker.

    I hear Robinhood is now selling Gamestop shares without their costumers permission, what an interesting service. clown

    I'm same case. I could go to Russia but any family still there I have very little connection with and I don't talk regularly with them.

    Majority of real family is here in Canada. But I got closer family in India as well. Can always go there.

    This is exactly what you get after coups and revolutions: kangaroo court theater. We saw the same absurdity in
    Banderastan where brazen violation of the law was OK since the new regime was justified. The D. Party is the
    same sort of scum and is all about "the ends justify the means" and self-righteous zealotry.

    Not enough to just win, you have to undo everything your predecessor did despite each of you having the support of about half of the population, and there being the obvious risk that if things go the other way next election your replacement will be just as petty as you and undo everything you do during your time in office just out of spite... whether it benefits the American people or not... way to lead a country...

    But it will still be used as another Reichstag fire pretext.

    The question asks itself: why does the old order, which has way more than enough perks for the elites, require
    to be replaced with some cheesy totalitarian one? Seems like the ground under those elites is moving and
    they are desperate. Grasping at anything to stay in power. You would never know it from the public information
    space that things were this bad.
