    GME Dedicated Thread - Breaking: CNBC engages in market manipulation - lies about Melvin Capital having already covered positions

    Posted: 27 Jan 2021 05:54 AM PST

    Hello all,

    We are opening this thread so it can be dedicated to talks about the current GME situation.

    Feel free to discuss. Other newly created GME posts will be removed.

    Disclaimer: The title was sorely written by me and does not represent the views of Reddit or the /r/stocks subreddit.

    Short Interest Update

    Short interest still very high , confirming that Melvin having covered is a lie.

    It's okay not to gamble on meme stocks.

    Posted: 27 Jan 2021 08:16 AM PST

    I just want to make sure everyone, especially newer investors, remembers that it's fine not to get involved in these crazy meme stock rallies.

    You might think that all your fellow beginner investors are in on the action and making thousands a day, while you're just working your 9 to 5 and investing in decent companies like a sucker. That's how FOMO works.

    It's easy to forget that there is always a risk of your money plummeting by 90%.

    There are plenty of us who aren't getting involved. Don't sweat it. FOMO is very dangerous sometimes.

    OK, I'll go head and be the Debbie Downer here: I am very worried for small/inexperienced/young investors.

    Posted: 27 Jan 2021 07:19 AM PST

    I'm reading all of these posts on Reddit about people putting all of their money into GME at $270 or $300 a share. I assume at least a few of these are lying/manipulating, but a good number of them are legit. Here is a fact: many of these people are going to lose a lot of money, money that they often can not afford to lose. I was that person in the past. It is a terrible, terrible feeling. A feeling I never want anyone to have.

    On one hand, I love seeing the hedge fund guys taken down and pretty much hope they all get taken down. I think most of them are dubious and/or bad people. On the other hand, I see that a bunch of young and inexperienced investors--often not wealthy investors--are risking too much of their net worth on a highly speculative, frenzied bubble.

    JUST WHILE WRITING THIS the stock has gone down $50. In just a few mins! Yes, I know it could jump back up again. Folks, this is crazy. Please do not invest any money you can't afford to lose. This is pure gambling at this point, no different than a roulette wheel. Similar to a roulette wheel, you should never gamble more money than you can easily afford to lose for fun. Please be careful folks, I hate to see young/inexperienced people get hurt because they got caught up in something emotional and fun.

    And speaking of the roulette wheel, you can take $100 and put it on 32 red right now at a casino. If it comes in you will have thousands of dollars. It's just that easy folks! Making money via gambling is just that easy. You don't even need the stock market.

    Be careful and safe out there everyone. Sincerely, your mom.

    Disclosure: I have absolutely no dog in this fight either way, financially speaking anyway. I own no options or securities related to this discussion in any way.

    EDIT: My main point is about people (esp. young/inexperienced people) putting *everything* into this thing (or any other investment). My main point is not "no one should buy GME." Please understand this difference.

    EDIT #2: some of you have flattered with me with comments/questions suggesting that I am an expert. I am no such thing, certainly not about stocks. I am only someone who has a bit of experience/age built up. I am not an expert on stock investing. I am an expert on blowing money as a young person. I blew money on bad investments. I blew money on material possessions that in retrospect are worthless. I blew money on addiction-related things such as drugs and gambling. You can ask me about that. Short answer: it was terrible and felt horrible then and now. Being an irresponsible, reckless young person sucks and I hope no one has to go through it while at the same time I recognize that *some* people will always go through this as long as there are human beings.

    How the f**k are people not jumping all over semiconductors?

    Posted: 27 Jan 2021 08:06 AM PST

    Every day I see another article published about the global semiconductor shortage and how vehicle manufacturers like Ford and VW are unable to produce as many EVs because of this shortage. Yet semiconductors and ETF's like SOXX/SMH haven't moved a whole lot. I don't understand it? What am I missing here?

    $Snca looking good. The merger is guaranteed.

    Posted: 27 Jan 2021 07:11 AM PST

    $SNCA anyone looking for a high potential stock to invest in should check this out. SNCA is about to merge with LBS. LBS has a phase 3 drug that has FDA fast track designation. Do some research on SNCA and decide if you want to invest in it.

    New warning from TD Ameritrade on volatile stocks after logging in

    Posted: 27 Jan 2021 08:55 AM PST

    I just logged back into TDA and noticed this warning was very recently posted. Before it was posted, I was able to get into GameS at 300 and out at 340. It seems to be pretty generic; "Several restrictions on some transactions" I did not see it there earlier today.

    Does anybody know what this means, specifically?

    "Security impacts related to market conditions

    In the interest of mitigating risk for our company and clients, we have put in place several restrictions on some transactions in $GM E, $A MC and other securities. We made these decisions out of an abundance of caution amid unprecedented market conditions and other factors."

    Shouldn't SEC ban the short selling concept forever?

    Posted: 27 Jan 2021 08:33 AM PST

    We have seen that the short-sale has destroyed the stock mark and has caused the shares for some companies with the worst fundamentals to jump 6000% in less than a month. I was wondering why SEC does not ban this silly short sale concept? It makes no-sense to sell something that you do not own and then have to buy back at 6000% of what you sold it for. There are silly and irresponsible people everywhere so it is the responsibility of the lawmakers to ensure that things like this do not happen. Politics aside, I know this was mentioned by the former U.S. President but it never went beyond that statement.

    Disclaimer: I have never shorted even a single share and will never do.

    What's going on with Corsair

    Posted: 27 Jan 2021 08:50 AM PST

    I just checked the market and saw that everything is down (except gme of course), but CRSR is up 25% as of now. CRSR is my largest position for many reasons (I wont get into specifics but short answer I see great short/long term gain from them). Does anyone know any specific reason why corsair is so far into the green today? They've been trading flat for a while up unitl today.

    AMC Short Squeeze?

    Posted: 26 Jan 2021 09:52 PM PST

    Was thinking of getting balls deep into AMC. Missed the $4 entry (rip I was hesitant af) and planning to get in premarket at $8+.

    I know AMC has a relatively high SI % float, but with the unfolding of a certain stock ,

    1. Can large hedge funds/shorters /MMs somehow take a certain course of action to ensure a suppressed squeeze? Is there any possibility ?

    2. Also, what are the potential downsides of going into AMC?

    I read the DDs on a certain subreddit about their consistent revenue growth etc. , but they plummeted abit before COVID started and went all the way down during COVID. I can only think of AMC declining if WANDA decides to bail out but given 20% ownership I don't think so...

    (Sorry if it sounds like abit of a noob question)

    Can I get some words of encouragement?

    Posted: 27 Jan 2021 08:11 AM PST

    I'm close quitting the stock market. I spent a month before getting in researching and reading stock books. They say "invest into ETFs" or "reinvest dividends" or due DD before buying a stock. Watch the news, don't invest into meme stocks.

    Only to get into the market and see people making life changing money in under a month off stocks, while I make chump change by listening to what these books have said. AMC was nearly bankrupt, now they're skyrocketing even though they're in a load of debt. DD will tell you not to invest. TSLA is valued at $247 and was $85/share this time last year. It's now at $900.

    Why should I stick to what research and these books say about fundamentals, while others just listen to what people on Reddit say and get incredible gains?

    This goes against everything I've read researched and it's frustrating to the point where I'm about to quit. Can someone give me some words of encouragement or a reason not to give up?

    Be careful on YouTube.

    Posted: 26 Jan 2021 06:49 PM PST

    I recently watched a video about a YouTuber who shed light on a frightening but real issue that takes place on YouTube. This individual was wrote to by a company telling him that he could make serious money by doing what he does already, all he has to do is mention a few specific penny stocks to his audience throughout his videos. This is unnerving and the company representative admitted to this YouTuber that he was already working with (and paying) dozens of popular investing channels. This is clearly a pump and dump scheme by this company in a effort to raise the penny stock's price, only for it to crash down later. Everyone wins except the audience tuning into these videos to learn and get some investment tips. I'm sure there are genuine YouTubers out there who really want to educate and help people with investing but it's better to be cautious and always do your own research first. Ultimately, what you do with your money has to be decided by you alone.

    Bubble? Keep calm and carry on

    Posted: 27 Jan 2021 07:11 AM PST

    I know we've all been reading headlines and opinion articles saying that we're in a bubble, and with record valuations going up, in contrast to the wider global economy, that might be understandable.

    Maybe we are, maybe we aren't. Nobody, not any of us, have a crystal ball. It feels like there are two big camps both trying to shout over each other; one saying that the crash to end all crashes is imminent, the other saying the market has fundamentally changed and boom and bust is over.

    That noise can be deafening. Meanwhile we all have itchy trigger fingers over our portfolios to either buy or sell.

    In a way, we are in uncharted waters. In others, we aren't. Covid and the rise of "big tech" is new, but major conglomerates gaining unrivaled market dominance is not. Stupid IPO valuations and penny stocks are not new, neither are investors chasing fads. As ever, whoever is shouting is generally hoping you will click their link or trade their way so they can make money. Honest brokers they are not.

    I held my nerve during the Covid crash last year, then sold up in July fearing a second wave. I bought back in late November after the vaccine was announced, and am up 22% in two months. Naturally I'm very happy with this, but it's also irrelevant.

    Every single private investor should be looking at the long game. Your stocks should never be your sole source of equity, and you certainly shouldn't be relying on it for income. If there is a reasonable chance you need access to that money in less than five years, you need to reassess what you can and can't afford to lose.

    We don't know what is around the corner, but chances are that the golden rules of investing are still relevant today. Dollar cost averaging and a well diversified portfolio are your friends, do not plunge all into a few hype stocks.

    To quote British fund manager Terry Smith; buy good companies, do not overpay, do nothing. If the stock you invested in is genuinely strong with a good balance sheet, it will weather whatever market correction comes our way. And if it does come, remember that you pre-planned for this, so you have no need to panic sell.

    Keep calm, and carry on. Take this time to assess your whole financial position - not just your stocks - and act accordingly.

    Just my £0.02.

    Posted: 27 Jan 2021 12:01 PM PST

    Hey traders & investors, so obvious meme tickers are going to be auto removed in this thread, so don't bother mentioning them.

    Let me get you started on non-meme large cap tickers (these are just suggestions, so feel free to post an interesting ticker especially one that's undervalued right now):

    • LULU
    • XLNX
    • CVS
    • STZ
    • WDC
    • BRK B aka BRK-B or BRK/B
    • BMY
    • MCD
    • IBM
    • YUM
    • NTNX
    • SFIX
    • FEYE

    Maybe some of these were meme stocks in the past, but not right now.

    What is going on with $EXPR?

    Posted: 27 Jan 2021 08:36 AM PST

    $EXPR is skyrocketing higher points-wise than even AMC and GME but I cannot find any news at all that would indicate why this is happening. News articles point back to reddit for the interest, but I cannot find nearly as much buzz about it as the other meme stocks. Cannot find a source that confirms a high short interest? what is going on?

    Why is SPCE trading so high today? It’s been shooting up since yesterday. I’ve had 30 shares @ $19 each. Unsure if this is a pump and dump, or if there was some sort of catalyst.

    Posted: 27 Jan 2021 08:20 AM PST

    Wondering if something happened with SPCE that I'm unable to find? Does anybody know why its been skyrocketing? My theory is that people are getting filthy rich off of GME/AMC, and subsequently have money to blow on everything they feel may explode.

    What happened to NOK today?

    Posted: 27 Jan 2021 09:17 AM PST

    Edit2: well after a little snooping I've found that many are YOLO-ing into NOK on wsb. NOK holders rejoice I suppose

    Hit a 10 year high of $9.79 (+200%), and has been around +30% since the spike.

    I found this article that says its because of reddit, but I've been looking around on the various investing subs and can't actually find much discussion on NOK besides rockets.

    Edit: link to yesterday's discussion about NOK, AMC and astroturfing for anyone who missed it.

    What would happen in an extended halt?

    Posted: 27 Jan 2021 08:53 AM PST

    Just want to preface this by saying I'm not trying to incite FDU or spread misinformation.

    I've been seeing news of the nasdaq ceo's negative sentiment toward GME, and just a few minutes ago zerohedge posted that TD Ameritrade put restrictions on some trading of GME and AMC.

    If indeed the nasdaq decides to step in and halt for an extended period I.e. over Friday and Monday when short contracts expire, what happens then?

    I have many questions. How do the shorts close? Can they close? Do they close at the halted price?

    Stock Market News for Today | MSFT / AMD / BYND / SBUX / TLRY & Other Stock Market News [01-27]

    Posted: 27 Jan 2021 03:39 AM PST

    Stocks finish in the red while Microsoft crushes earnings in after hours. The short squeeze continues to crush short sellers while EVs & Hydrogen are on the move. Let's talk about this and other stock market news

    ~Long Post~

    Hello everyone and Good Morning! So, let's start with the recap of yesterday as we saw all 3 major indexes finish the day down, with both the Nasdaq Composite and the Dow Jones losing .07% while the SP500 dropped by .15% as the VIX remained pretty flat in a build-up day for today as the stock market is going to be hit with numerous economic data and big earnings reports from Apple which is expected to have their first $100B quarter, Boeing, Facebook, Tesla & many others.

    We saw almost 60% of the companies advancing with some companies dropping below the 50-day moving average as only 4 of the 11 SECTORS finished in the green, with Communications & Real Estate gaining more than 1% while Energy was the biggest laggard dropping more than 2% despite being the leader of the bunch in the early morning.

    We also saw large-cap growth companies leading the way while the rest of the groups were lagging behind as you can also see in the HEAT MAP from yesterday, with most of the small & mid-caps losing ground while the FAANG, Tesla, Microsoft and some other big companies were keeping the markets steady.

    In terms of economic data, we saw the November housing price index coming in as expected with a 11% increase y/y, which was also supported by the Shiller Index which indicated a 9.5% increase over last year, the biggest increase we have seen in this economic data in more than 6 years.

    We also saw the January consumer confidence coming in better than expected at 89.3 with most of the increase coming from the expectations that consumers have of things getting better in the near future as the re-opening goes along.

    Meanwhile the Richmond FED manufacturing survey came in at 14, lower than the 19 we saw last month as we saw a decrease in shipments, capacity utilization & volume of new orders.

    In some other stock market news, we saw a lot of highly shorted stocks rise yet again, with the forbidden one rose by more than 90% for the day and continuing with an additional 120% in after hours, while Beyond Meat rose by 33% in early morning after announcing a partnership with PepsiCo which is one of the biggest food companies in the world, as they will develop snack & beverage products that are plant-based.

    We also saw the pot stocks rise again, with Tilray leading the way after some national agencies from France tagged them to supply products for experiments in France. Tilray has been on a huge run since the Aphria merger news, and the company still has a lot of upside potential left especially if the Biden administration manages to push some sort of legislation, even if it isn't a full-legalization in the US.

    The same hopes of future help from the current administration were also seen in the EV & Hydrogen sectors, with a lot of names like WorkHorse, Lordstown, Nikola & many others rising significantly yesterday

    Some big companies also reported yesterday, as we saw General Electric beating most of the estimates in early morning and giving better than expected guidance on future free cash flow, which is a very big thing for a dividend paying company which has been struggling in the past years, while JNJ also beat expectations and guided for even better revenues and earnings for next year as they are expecting vaccine results by next week, which could be huge for the hole stock market.

    We also received a couple of big earnings reports in after hours, with Starbucks reporting pretty much as expected, but this high valuations for the stocks don't really allow for OK quarters, everything needs to be exceptional for the most of the stocks to grow into these big valuations.

    On the other hand, we saw Microsoft crushing expectations, beating by almost $0.40 and a beat of more than $2.5B on revenues hitting over $40B in revenues for the first time due to the big demand in cloud revenues with Azure growing revenues by 50%, even better than the 48% in the last quarter. Microsoft also guided for upside in the next quarter, as this was a sleeping giant just like most of the big FAANG names which were underperformers for the better part of the end of 2020.

    Meanwhile the other big tech name that reported was AMD, which also beat expectations due to big growth in all-areas of their business. I'll be making a Due Diligence in AMD probably later today as I really want to see what growth they have ahead as they continue to battle with Intel

    So, let's hope for a good day in the markets as the US FUTURES are mixed, with the Nasdaq leading the way as we also await MBA mortgage applications in the early morning, but mostly expect to see what the FED announces later in the day, as they end the two-day meeting and it is very likely Powell & The FED will keep the interest rates close to 0% and remain very dovish, probably continuing the monthly $120B assets purchase program for the foreseeable future.

    Thank you everyone for reading🙏 Hope you enjoyed the content! Be sure to leave a comment down below with your opinion on the stock market! Have a great day and see you next time❗

    What are the best websites to research which companies are worth investing?

    Posted: 27 Jan 2021 08:45 AM PST

    I've been watching a few youtube channels that discuss which companies are good to invest in but they always say to research ourselves. What's the best way to research ourselves and know which companies are releasing products, merging, etc. I feel like there's so many out there that its hard to keep up.
