Then it got momentum, and you have random Joe's who don't really have any idea what they're doing but jumped on because they see people posting how much money they've "made." Eventually, the bottom is going to drop out, and it'll likely be these types that will get screwed.

So from my perspective, it's a little of everything.
I'm wondering if there's a handful of leaders of this cabal. Pied Pipers so to speak with lot's of cash to work with who are stringing this along. This is supposed to be the little guys doing this but I have my doubts it's just them.

The initiator of all of this is a user on WSB named u/deep****ingvalue.

I don't think so, although you could maybe argue the guy who did the calls that are now worth 40 million or whatever certainly helped stoked the fires. But smart people with alot of money have surely cashed in big time here riding the wave. WSB isn't big enough to drive the price up 500 bucks in a week. That requires huge amounts of money and trades.

The fact is that this isn't the first stock that is over valued and a bunch of people just decided it should be worth that much. Tesla is up 600 bucks over what, six months? With no new products and they actually missed their most recent projections. Doesn't matter because of the people that just randomly decided it was cool to own tesla. FOMO and hype are the new get rich quick things in the market place, and gamestop won't be the last.

This was never going to end well for the vast majority of retail traders in this situation.

The irony is that there are probably hedge funds who shorted the shit out of it yesterday and are going to make a fortune on this.

Reddit crashes when you try to load WSB. I'm guessing people are freaking the **** out right now. The aftermath of this is going to be something to see.

I don't fully get the concept of shorting, but from what I understand if they survived that giant wave going up, then yeah they probably are rolling this very second.

Somebody, somewhere just lost everything they ever had and planned to have though. Damn

This was always a gamble and anyone who put their life savings in is a dumb ass. Exposed how the system is rigged though.

The mechanism is complicated, but the function is pretty simple. Shorting basically works the opposite of a normal buy. If the price goes up, your value goes down, and vice versa.

If someone was already shorting the stock at $15 or whatever, they're still hurting right now (and probably will be for a while). But if someone got in at $400 yesterday, they're going to be rolling soon.
