While short term it is amusing...long term it will crash the markets
The problem is the Financial industry has been way too clever in pioneering these stupid games. That’s been true for decades now.
The market is going to crash anyway after the reality sinks in that it’s a communist takeover and with all the debt we’re acquiring.
Reddit Preparing To Unleash “World’s Biggest Short Squeeze” In Silver

[Excerpt from above]
The short squeeze:
Buy SLV shares (or PSLV shares) and SLV call options to force physical delivery of silver to the SLV vaults.
The silver futures market has oscillated between having roughly 100-1 and 500-1 ratio of paper traded silver to physical silver, but lets call it 250-1 for now. This means that for every 250 ounces in open interest in the futures market, only 1 actually gets delivered. Most traders would rather settle with cash rather than take delivery of thousands of ounces of silver and have to figure out to store and transport it in the future.
The people naked shorting silver via the futures markets are a couple of large banks and making them pay dearly for their over leveraged naked shorts would be incredible. It’s not Melvin capital on the other side of this trade, its JP Morgan. Time to get some payback for the bailouts and manipulation they’ve done for decades (look up silver manipulation fines that JPM has paid over the years).
The way the squeeze could occur is by forcing a much higher percentage of the futures contracts to actually deliver physical silver. There is very little silver in the COMEX vaults or available to actually be use to deliver [rest at link]

Exactly I went to cash in my retirement account right after Biden started killing the keystone pipeline and started killing fracking. So a Market crash will do nothing to me from a short term personal asset standpoint. So blame the deplorables all you want.
But seriously Goldman do you think it's because your friends are getting squeezed or because:
the left is marching down the road to communism?
AND
leftist Governors continue to shutdown their states killing wide swaths of small businesses
AND
that rent and mortgage measures will start to ripple into bankruptcies at some point if we don't get opened up like tomorrow.
AND
Biden has personally killed off a million good paying jobs
AND
China has a free reign to continue their economic warfare
Did I mention no one in the middle class cares if you lose your house in the Hamptons like you should have in the debacle of 2008!
Goldman you want to fix this, get the deplorables back to work at real jobs. Then they won't have time to figure out your schemes while they have nothing better to do but day trade their government stimulus checks.
Après moi, le déluge.

The key is that _everything_ is leveraged.
_That_ is why the dominoes could fall so easily.
.Gov has been feasting at the bribe trough—so despite the talk talk talk, they have no intention of _doing_ anything about it, and _definitely_ won’t be throwing any of the thousands of financial “market” scam artists in jail.
Wait until everyone wants their money and find out it doesn’t exist
The only thing that keeps inflation in check is scarcity of dollars in people’s pockets. While there are untold trillions of $$ floating around, it is in the coffers of the banks & corporations. The vast majority of real people don’t have enough $$ to live on. Hence, they use credit cards to survive and are perpetual debt slaves. It’s all part of the plan.
The only thing saving the US is that nearly ALL developed countries are in the same boat. Japan is actually worse off than us in terms of debt. Germany may be in the best shape, for now. In a sense, the whole developed world is living in a fantasy land fueled by funny money.
If they funny ever went out of the $$, you would see riots, revolutions and wars that might make WWII look like a Sunday picnic.

“The only bad part is that the windows in modern skyscrapers don’t open.”
True dat!
Might be a hard field for them to break into. They apparently aren't that good with numbers.
Appreciate the vitriol but that's not the solution either unless you want a total depression that will hurt the bulk of Americans while the guy's at the top will still be driving the Rolls and vacationing in the Hamptons...
Bring on serious reform, get rid of "shorts" etc.....
“They are destroying us. It is inevitable. This way they go down with us.”
Losing money seems to be the only thing that will hurt them. I have a lot invested. If the market crashes, I couldn’t care less. If an event like this helps defund the deep state and wipes them out, I couldn’t care less if I go broke. I’d rather live broke and free than frigging serve as a an overtaxed drone and walking welfare check for sickening deep state adventures at this point. I hope many here @ FR agree. That’s all we are to these people ... a frigging source of income and nothing more.
What’s funny is that they’re trying to blame investors for this fiasco ... like we are supposed to sit back and turn our heads the other way when they break the rules getting filthy rich with naked stock shorts (illegal ones at that ... you can’t make money off of stock that doesn’t exist, yet there are more shorts out there on Gamestop than there are stocks in Gamestop).
These maggots are going to ask for a bailout if they lose, and the press is going to run horror stories about all of the death and destruction we will face if they don’t get their billions of dollars back from taxpayers. I’m sure the left won’t mind another bailout for Wall Street’s arrogant mistakes yet again. They have to know, at this point, that they’re on their side ultimately.
You know, we bought our stocks, we knew what we were getting into. I say, let it crash :-) ! We will ultimately win in the end! I’d like to see a douchebag white collar criminal try and live for a day in the real world. They’d probably jump out a window than have to work a real job.
I smell Soros.
People should be more upset what happened to the constitution and free and fair elections this past November. Take down the fiat currency and Crony capitalism now so future generations don’t have to.
sittin on dry powder, waitin on the fail
There’s a big run on silver at the moment. Go try to buy some.
