If nobody is selling you're just moving stocks, you're not closing your positions
For someone to gain, someone else must lose. If the HODLer refuses the sell, he can't lose, therefore they can't gain.
Unless they cannibalize each other and do the stereotypical jewish back-pat, in which case the loser is a jew anyway, and all is good.

If we can't push the price up high enough to run them out of money and force them to cover they can just wait it out until the normies get bored and sell. What reddit should do is go down the list of all the stocks Melvin is shorting and pump them all to put them as deep into the red as possible. It gets exponentially harder to pump just Gamestop as the market cap gets bigger plus with the share buying limits now. Once melvin/citadel get far enough into the hole they wont have any choice but to cover or ask for a bailout. Of course reddit is fucking retarded so theyre just pumping other unrelated shit like silver

I'm just a bloody retard in all of this but I think the hedgies plan right now is to shove the market price down REAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLY far and hope people are misinformed enough about what is actually going on to sell at that low price when ini reality if they just have DIAMOND HANDS and hold the price is theirs to name.
And if THAT doesn't work they plan to just instead pay the short interest and never actually buy the stock. If it gets too prolonged then they might just ask Gamestop to shit out some new shares so they can buy those at the massively reduced price and cover their butts like that... Or they're waiting for Gamestop to somehow not be a share anymore and thus everything gets null and voided.

Again no idea what the fuck i'm talking about here but that's the only way what they're doing makes sense to me.

I was very intelligent and bought 2 shares at 312. Now I'm thinking that if I can buy 6-8 shares at 100-150, and manage to sell them off at 200-250, I can recoup my losses and get out with clean hands and self esteem intact. It all depends on pricing going up or down after opening tomorrow though. Is this what gambling feels like?

by making a deal with their broker to reduce the interest rates because everyone involved knows this is just a fad that will go away if you give it a couple weeks. now why would the brokers do that? well if the hedgies try to cover they won't have enough money to pay for it all. you know who pays up if they can't? take a guess.

OK, so here's whats going on to any #diamondhands who are starting to get concerned. The price action you see today is a lie. You can see that through very low volume, hedge funds are actually selling to each other and short interest has actually DOUBLED in the last week. These greedy bastards are getting cocky because they think you're stupid. Heh, well I guess they're the ones that are gonna feel stupid February 12th. Why February 12th, you ask? Well Reddit, feb 12 falls on a friday and that's when Chamath (The Sri Lankan billionaire on our side) is going to exercise his call options at $115. All of them. The amount of covering that hedgies will have to do alone on that date is going to make what's happened so far look like nothing. Our job? All we have to do is make sure that WE and everyone else we know holds.

By tricking people that are pinning them in to sell the stock that is hurting the hedge fund and buy the silver shares that the hedge fund has in ample supply.

This does two things in the short term, it helps ease the pain of the stock that has grown to such a high value that it is crippling the hedge fund by lowering its price, and it gives the hedge fund cash to use to buy those stocks on the dip.

In the long term, when Silver shares drops back down as people realize that it almost never moves more than a few cents, and that there will never be a major spike like GME enjoyed, the hedge funds will be able to buy the dropping silver shares back and make another profit off of them, while making it harder for the retail traders to scrape together funds to buy up shares in something else.

2 things fucked the squeeze massively
1 was the robinhood shutdown, which turned off buying power pressuring the price up
the other thing is people fundamentally misunderstood how the VW squeeze happened
yes there was only 12% short interest but the squeeze was caused by porsche quietly building up stake in the company over a long period of time and then announcing that they now had a controlling interest in the company
porsche never gave a fuck about a short squeeze, they wanted to own VW, so they bought over half of VW
then they announced they'd done that on a sunday and come monday shorts realized only 1% of the company was available on the public market and freaked the fuck out and panic bought as much as they could to cover.
yes gamestop had a 140% short interest at some point but the amount of publicly available shares for gamestop was larger than it was for VW. also the VW shares were in the hands of either index funds that needed to own a certain percent of VW because it was on the DAX or in the hands of porsche which needed to hold it's stake because they wanted to control the fucking company so they weren't ever going to sell because their play was to have controlling ownership.
having a bunch of shares in the hands of retail investors capable of panic selling at any moment and random whales making huge bets because they can't go to vegas to bet on the super bowl or whatever makes the conditions for a VW like squeeze more difficult.

too many retard retailers betting purely on emotion generated by social media who can take pot shots on their derivatives disrupts the status quo for wall street

therefore it is in their best interest to work together to send a message back to the retailers that they will never come out on top

this will prevent a chain reaction of GME's from occurring at a large scale again

they stand to lose billions NOW, but imagine an endless chain of GMEs, and all of the future losses they will incur

their profits will take a permanent hit that may not have an easy solution

retailers are outsiders in their eyes, and they see them as a threat to wall street as a whole

wall street = a bunch of rich fucks playing poker on the beach

mass retards retail trading by social media = a hurricane in the middle of their poker match followed by earthquakes and tsunamis
