I'm getting through Peter Lynch's two main books coming up, and I've got some of Joel Greenblatt's next on my list. In your opinion, should I skip Greenblatt and go straight to your quoted list next? Dunno if you've read both Greenblatt and Lynch and can give an opinion one way or the other on their overlap in content / philosophy.

Looks like the Greenblatt books I've got queued up are The Big Secret for the Small Investor and The Little Book that (Still) Beats the Market. I was gonna check out Magic Formula, but it's older and I figured these newer ones would cover / update the same content. I know that Burry liked Magic Formula back in the day, though.

I never read the newer ones. I found more value from demodarren series. He’s got a little book of valuation too. Which is far simpler than the one i recommended

I wonder how much Uncle Elon is in on GME :unsure:
Click to expand...

I don't know if he is. Even if he isn't, he probably just hates short sellers. For a few months I followed insider transactions really closely for a bunch of companies, because I was hoping that by doing a certain kind of analysis I would find insiders who very consistently bought or sold shares at the right time. Elon Musk routinely buys large amounts of TSLA stock, and has been accumulating it for a very long time. It was impressive and unlike anything I saw for any other stock I looked at. I think he's been doing this because people have been shorting his stock for a very long time, because the PE ratios and other fundamentals don't look like they support the price. I think it is fair to say that he has a much greater level of knowledge on this topic even than most people that study it.

Seeing rumors that Robinhood is going to reenable "limited" buys of meme stocks. Not sure what it means.

I don’t know a lot about investing and stocks, but common sense tells me that if something is being “artificially inflated” as in not for something that GameStop is doing to drive it up, but as kind of a movement, that at some point, whether it’s a month from now, a year from now, or more, that thing is going to crash back down to where it originally was. Because GameStop is in a bad way right now as a company.

If/when that happens I hope the everyday folks who jumped in on this don’t lose everything. Whenever these things hit the mainstream news you're going to have a lot of people who don't know what theyre doing get in way over their heads

Oh, you're right. This increase has nothing to do with the fundamentals of GME. It's a "short squeeze" that's going on and one that is potentially of a scale that has never occurred before in the history of the market. Standard thinking may not apply, but lots of opinions about this.

Lol the allowing it after all the chaos today. Ppl options are prob so far out of money right now. Only early movers prob benefited.

They need to release a good reason why.

I held through it all. Sold some yesterday but bought back in with those profits today. I only have about 10k invested between GME and AMC (I got in at $2 before it was a meme stock). I'm confident we shoot to the moon next week!

Note this "investment" is very little compared to everything else I have safely invested in the total stock market index fund. Don't invest what you can't afford to lose!

It’s annoying as hell when it comes to after hours and pre market. That’s the only time they can make big plays with more time on their hands in the playing field.

Really makes you feel powerless and helpless and that's the goal. Now imagine what people without forums and chat rooms feel like?

This is how the big players have been rolling forever, but I think it's the first time that we all so clearly saw what was going on and that's why they had to quite literally have the brokers tie our hands behind our backs so we couldn't make any plays.

This whole thing is really starting to feel like some kind of weird ass, video gamified, delayed response to 2008.

The market liked the idea of the little people giving them their money, but didn’t quite realise what it would mean if the little people started ganging up on it via the ‘miracle’ of social media. They’ve panicked now, and the curtain’s been cast aside on just how corrupt the whole shit show is. It is very unsettling... but not all that surprising.

This isn’t going away. There’s a sense of some kind of revenge in the air for decades of the 1% winning at everyone else’s loss. I expect a lot more of this in the future. Shorting stock is going to become a really risky business.

i feel the same. I am always pro capitalism and never thought I am for restrictions on a free market. But this hedge fund thing is fucking ridiculous. Hell this has nothing to do with a free market anymore.

It feels kinda surreal like what happened didn't "actually" happen. It's scary.
