Maybe the classics are classics because of the time they were written in and you KNOW this as a reader. If you read a classic with a new cover, new title, and believe it's from a contemporary author, it might be garbage. Also: less boo

> the actual price per unit doesn't matter as much. What matters is the store of value over longer times Contradicting statement. Or how do you define "store of value" if not in USD?

Maybe ask people, but not sure if it's the same thing. Or put more stuff out there at random.

Maybe the author of the article missed the simple fact that game designers want to come up with their own rules and mathematical models, because they enjoy the process more than reading 500 pages of explanations from a genius. We all like t

The funny thing is that most creators experience this, if they put their work out there: What they think is their greatest piece often isn't really perceived as such and some random thing of theirs might struck a nerve in others. This

The issue with Elon Musk is that he has a lot of money and applies it to all kinds of bullshit. He doesn't have a reality distortion field. His fans have one. They think this guy is smart. Read his Twitter and name three smart things h

You probably overestimate Apple here. I'm pretty sure you can do a lot of fuckery with WebView, JavaScript and an innocent-looking API and feature flags in JS that gets swapped for bad behavior remotely after the review process is comp

Yes, this is one scenario where the short is forced to cover. What about this scenario: Institutional investor A believes in GME and owns a lot of stock. They want to hold GME long-term. They don't care about price fluctuations, but th

Yes, but my point is: is it so unlikely that big players see the sentiment, hop on the train and actually drive up the price instead of retail?

You're right, prices is affected by lower volume, especially in smaller stocks like GME. But I don't assume that $120 billion was all spend in a single day on a single stock. > Now imagine if that was concentrated in the Robinh

A lot of assumptions you're making here. Maybe many didn't do naked short selling. Maybe the lender didn't want to sell for whatever reason. You just assume that MOST shorts were forced to cover and I don't see why this

I think you're right. Maybe WSB pushed the price initially up to like $38 or whatever on low volume. Then the big players entered, because the narrative was right, price got pushed way up, retail bought more in a maniac frenzy around $

Why? If I'm short GME, I'd just wait. Sure, I have to pay borrowing fees, but it doesn't matter if I hold for a week or a few months, if I'm sure it collapses 90% within a year. Of course, I'm oversimplifying stuff
951.
by WA 6y ago
Holding doesn't make the price. You gotta buy if you want to push the price. And nobody got any money for that anymore. The narrative is dead.

Look at the chart. The VW infinity squeeze already happened in a way. What else do you expect? Old shorts were squeezed out, new shorts entered the bet. Too many people apparently haven't looked at the right side of the VW chart: the s

Because the chance for return is so small with lottery tickets. Futhermore: Most people don't need $50 million but rather 50k-500k. It makes sense to pick a bet with better odds. 10% in a stock that has a 50% chance of better performan

If you think that your chances are higher at roulette, good for you. Other people take other chances. A few more thoughts: - Maybe you don’t have to be THAT smart to beat the index. - Maybe you don’t have to be consistently good or right or

Not as simple. With buy and hold of index funds, you limit your upside. There is close to zero chance to make 1,000% within a year. Stock picking has potentially a bigger downside, but also more upside. This being a zero-sum game doesn’t ma

Yes, I disagree on #10 as well. Because: createNewMessagesResponse(null) 'You have null new messages' Of course, TypeScript will say that 'null' can't be passed to createNewMessagesResponse directly. However

I agree. Small nitpick: retard in WSB context is not entirely an insult. You can swap letters and come up with trader. It’s WSBs special way of saying you belong to it’s retail trader group that does stupid bets.

Funny that you say this. TSLA is the mother of all pump and dumps, but it'll take a while for this to play out. Not driven by WSB of course. But yeah, they don't always win for sure. Still, there are a few gems in that sub if you

OT @ tempsy: I need to say thank you. I found WSB through a random comment of yours about Tesla/WSB in January 2020, read a lot about options, liquidated my portfolio in February, bought puts on SPX and DAX and made €400k after taxes i
