I'm glad you're confident. You have to understand that retail is also confident and it is directly registering its shares. When it reaches 100%, let's see.

Your position is not falsifiable. How long has to go on, with the prophecy not coming true for you to admit you are wrong? As in give me a date. On that exact day, I can come back to you when the prophecy did not come true, and see if you are willing to admit that you were wrong, or if you will just come up with another excuse for why the prophecy is delayed. Do you see the problem here? No matter what you say, if you give me a day for when the prophecy is going to happen, you can just make up an excuse later. That's the issue with conspiracy theories. They are not falsifiable.

  Your position is not falsifiable either. Show me the proof that they've covered. Of course you can't. But you're confident anyway. Based on what? You're certainly in the minority among retail investors. That makes /you/ the conspiracy nut, not them. No one said this would take a day or a month. The expression is "diamond hands"; being patient is not easy. No one know when it will happen. But what we do know is that there continues to be a steady flow of investors whom are directly registering their shares every day.

    Absurd. You could falsify the opposing position by providing data that shows significant short interest. Of course you will have trouble with this because all of the data confirms the opposing position. On the other hand, your position cannot be falsified because you dismiss all of the available data as manipulated without proof.

      Your account is only four hours old but you have a dozen comments in this thread, all of which are desperately pleading with people that the shorts covered, there's no squeeze possible. Smells desperate.

    Of course my position is falsifiable. If there is a massive prophetic doomsday, where the price of GME goes to 10 thousand, or a million dollars, and crashes the world economy, then my position would be falsified. But with the prophecy predictors, the same is not the case. No matter how long goes on, with the doomsday not happening, a doomsday predictor can just make up an excuse for why the doomsday was delayed. So once again, give me a date. Surely there must be a day, where if this goes on long enough, with no doomsday, that you will admit that you got duped, and this is all nonsense. because I am happy to come back to you, on that day, to see if you are willing to take in new information, or if you will just come up with some excuse for why doomsday got delayed. See the difference between your's , and my position? With me, if the doomsday happens, then that is when I am proven wrong. For you, if the doomsday doesn't happen, for however long, you can just make up a reason for why it got delayed. Or, in other words, the doomsday is not falsifiable. > /you/ the conspiracy nut You are the one predicting a doomsday, supposedly right? Every day that the doomsday does not happen, is more evidence that I am right. Just give a date. Give me a day, when you will say "Well I guess the doomsday isn't coming". I will mark it on my calendar. If you do not give a date, then you are literally admitting that your position cannot be falsified, because you are saying that no matter how long goes by, with the million dollar short squeeze, you will not be convinced. I can be convinced. If price hits a million dollars, I was wrong. You can't be convinced, if you are unwilling to give a day when you'd admit that you got duped.

      Most retail GME investors intend to hold and not set a date or trigger price. That's the strategy, actually. Institutional investors that got caught naked short selling can manipulate the price and stall but they can't stall forever -- and every single day it gets harder and harder. Will it go to $10,000? Who knows. There's a price not much above that which would crush world markets to the point where it would usher in the apocalypse. There would be intervention before that happened. Very few of these GME investors are solely trying to make some money. They see a corrupt market place and they want to take it down. The SEC could have just done its job but it didn't. They could have stopped the naked shorting. They could have curbed the corruption. They didn't. Instead an army (make no mistake) of small retail investors are buying and holding and registering their shares. You may not understand it, but this is war. And look at the vitriol. Flat-earthers? Conspiracy nut? It's funny because if I buy Netflix because I think the price will go up, no one tells me that. There are no articles saying, "Netflix's growth is over! Everyone sell! Please, God, sell!" Can you imagine the buy button (but not sell button) being turned off for Netflix for a day during a price run-up? Don't be confused. This is war. If you want a date, let's give it two years. Who knows and frankly the investors don't care.
