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.

Of course it cratered. They restricted people from being able to buy.

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. |

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

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. |

Robinhood is trash. Just use the TD AmeriTrade app.

You know someone did when they saw that stock flying up. Hell all of those #stonks seem to have cratered. BB, AMC, NOK...they are all way way down.

In simplistic terms, say shares of xyz are going for $10 a share. You borrow 100 of them and sell them at $10 a share making $1,000. Then when the stock plummets to $1 a share you buy them back for $100 and return the shares to the original owner. You've netted $900. But what hedge funds are doing is on a much larger scale. The biggest issue is when these large hedge funds short stocks they sometimes try to purposely drive the stock prices down to reap the rewards. They go on CNBC and other business channels and talk shit about a stock to get people to drop it like a hot potato. It's slimey. |
