Aren't these people supposed to be the responsible "experts" that know how to hedge risk?
The fact that GS is sweating bullets tells me they’ve been doing their usual lying, cheating and stealing from the common man again. These hedge funds have been allowed to manipulate the markets and damage our investments and retirement funds. Our wonderful progressive former *resident didn’t do a damn thing to these guys after 2008.
Too big to fail = too big to exist!
They can “learn to code” or “build solar panels” along the with pipeline folks who are losing their jobs. Oh the horrors!
Ok with me I am shorting all of Wall Street. I got all out several months ago because I could see that a major correction was coming and with Biden in office its coming fast.
When the market crashes, and it will, I will move all back in. I rode out the last 3 crashes with well over a 100K losses.
Not this time, not when the future is so easy to see.
They do know how to hedge risks against the average 401k investor, day-trader and small time guy. They’ve been getting greedier and greedier and taking more and more risks while screwing over companies who are trying to survive.
They never factored in “weaponized autism” or “apes together stronger” from the reddit crowd discovering and punishing them on their BS.
The fall of Babylon wasn’t pretty..... Outside forces took them over (Persians) while the state was in political disarray..... armies switched sides based on political winds.....
If we descend into madness......do you really think our enemies will sit on the sidelines?
Say hello to your new Chinese masters......they’ll be your “new management”......
“While short term it is amusing...long term it will crash the markets”
Could be. Think of the billions in long positions these hedge funds are forced to sell just to cover the margin calls.
An unknown is how much will the fed step in to buy and thus support the longs and keep the crash from becoming a nightmare for everyone. Unless they want a repeat of Lehman Brothers, they better not wait too long to signal such intentions.
Looks like for the near future cash will again be king.
Note to self - sell all your long positions in your Ira.
In a sane world, yes, but I doubt there’s enough gold in the world to back up our debts.
I think Global Digital Currency would be necessary to implement the 666 Mark of the Beast. When that time comes.
Except that Goldman did not say that.
This - “If WSB continues to push the most shorted stocks higher, the entire market could crash”
is what an analyst is translating Goldman said.
Just more clickbait.
When it crashes, which it has to do by hyper inflation or over supply of worthless stocks, the Capital system will get the blame when the actual nemesis is greed coupled with a desire to get something for nothing.
Frankly, I expected the System to fail years ago.
Thanks for the ping. Yes it is possible China is involved. They may be getting back because we started requiring their listed firms to follow acceptable accounting procedures.
The reddit GME play was and will be a ONE TRICK PONY, ONE AND ONE!
Biden is the China management.
The R’s and D’s are the China management.
We have Trump and his movement to thank for helping expose it..
And the rigged system needs to fall.
If I was 20, or had actual obligations to take care of that I cared about, I might give a damn. I don't, so I don't. I imagine there are other freepers in my boat.

LOL, null and void. You beat me to it.
However, I have another suggestion to make. They could become baristas. There's no substitute for a well-trained barista.
The people who blame Redditors and WSB for market corrections also blame Trump for ‘inciting insurrection in DC’.
Blame the results of corrupotocrat schemes on the little guy.
I was just thinking the same thing. Certainly, the timing is just right for the next act in this drama, which began with a new international banking crisis (worse than 2008, but it went without comment) which began late in 2019. It went almost unnoticed because the Covid crisis froze the international system.
Ballots were considered as an alternative to actually waging war. The game was altered, thus ballots are now all but worthless. Someone was clever in conceiving of a new game to play. Welcome to the newest battlefield.
Very simple to cap that loss. Example: Go short at $100 and buy a call at $110. Can't possibly lose more than $10 and a theoretical max gain of $100.
