After that post earlier, I decided to liquidate some other holdings and jump on the GME train. Got 31 shares at around $160 or so. Already up over $1,000

Fuck it, let's see where this thing goes.

What truly triggered this by the way? Did someone just notice how many short sales were coming up due and thought they could mobilize Reddit to really maximize the valuation and keep pushing it up?
Is there any easy way to visualize short sale activity for any given stock? Im still pretty dumb/new about this stuff.

I'm guessing it's some kind of self inertia combined with Elon Musk's tweet.

The stock was undervalued, and got shorted heavily while also getting some good news (The Chewy guy) the stock was going to naturally rise a bit, but the shorts made a fight out of it leading to this.

Jesus Christ how am I supposed to pay attention to anything else, but there's not many other days I make 8K taking a shit!

I picked up 100 shares in AMC since it was dirt cheap. I doubt it see even 10% of the rise that GME did, but whatever, it's only a few hundred bucks.
edit: nvm, should probably take this to the stocks/investing thread.

Yeah I'm keeping mostly 1K limit sells and many open ended. I already took my cost basis out, only a few still at 420 to book a profit.
If this thing works out it's got to be one of the biggest non-inheritance capital transfers from boomer fund managers to yolo memers ever, maybe don't even need the qualifier.

It’s going to be a crazy situation, a ton of people will have a 1k limit and the shorts will be in a terrible spot. Even the 115$ guys

I can't wait to watch this during tomorrow's premarket. The volatility is going to be insane.

Hopefully everyone holds. If it dips below $200, I'll probably buy some more. Shit is crazy!

I use Questrade because all options relatively suck I’m Canada. In USA Robinhood is super popular.

Wasn't the margin requirement 140% last Friday? Is that true?

Questrade last Friday sent me this
“Effective January 25, 2021, the margin requirement on long positions of symbol GME will increase from 50.00% to 75.00% and the margin requirement on short positions will increase from 50.00% to 75.00%.
We recommend you review your current positions to ensure you are not issued a margin call due to this change.
It is your responsibility to monitor your account and margin, and to deposit enough funds or close enough positions to remain in good standing. Otherwise, we will issue a margin call and we may need to close positions to satisfy the shortage.
We retain the right to require more margin at any time we consider necessary.”
Shorts went from 75% to 300% (i did not even see the 75% to 250%) If other brokers had higher shorts on Friday, you can be sure a similar ratio was applied.
Btw this is total equity vs your position, not an interest rate. If I put 10k for a short, I need 30k in the account just as a safety for it to pass. If I don’t, or if the current shorters do not fill the account to meet this requirement, they can get a margin call. This basically breaks the kneecaps of many many many shorters.

Uh, discord server’s mod said “Welcome Elon”
man Elon said hi, fucking crashed the server. Not sure if it’s the real Elon, but Elon on Twitter said he watched the discord’s chaos.

It’s official, WSB will enter all financial books as an example of a short squeeze. Imagine our kids at the university reading Reddit usernames like u/DeepFuckingValue as the masterminds behind this move hahaha

The squeeze. Has not. Been squoze.
I'd be very wary of getting on a train at the tail end of a parabolic run, if someone out there is considering it. It'll return to Earth without warning and everyone will sell at the same time, a ton of stop losses will trigger, etc. There won't be time to react.

Only in at 8 shares at an average of like 74. I only started noticing gme when the hype was around 40, still didn't buy in. Its still not too late to make money, unfortunately got have it to make it. Spent about 500 on BB a couple days ago too, hope that rockets.

You’re absolutely right. A lot of triggers will happen at 420 for the memes and then 1000. It will drop immensely after a squeeze. It will make a shockwave in all the market probably, spiking/dips in nearly every stocks.
Nobody should be thinking of GME for a long term 400$, maybe it will stabilize at 80~100 long term.
Those who are in, I would suggest setting the triggers with some margin away from the YOLO ones, if 1000$ is often seen, a 900$ trigger would be more conservative.
