    Thanks vacuum, I was following what happened to Gamestop (GME) yesterday, and this video is a good explanation on how exactly short selling works with these big institutions. It is indeed funny, how a bunch of kids online roasted them.

    I read one article that the biggest institution caught up in this, got bailed out, and even is trying to short GME even more. The losses from short selling GME yesterday is apparently over $6 billion dollars. LOL.
    life is good.

    I guess that's what you can do when the Federal Reserve is your personal bailout provider.

    Massive short squeeze going on right now with Gamestop. GME is up 55%. I read GME is the most shorted stock of all time in the stock market, over 200 years. This squeeze is a game changer, no pun intended, lol.

    TLDR

    >lots of evil companies decide to short (hope for price to fall) gamestop. The value is 2X over 200% shorted. They hope for gamespot to go under so they can make profit.

    You know I almost bought GME with my stock dividends from other stock shares I own. It wouldn't have been much when it was like $5 to $6 a share. I had the order ready and was close to hitting buy..

    Kicking myself now that I didn't..

    Melvin Capital, to file bankruptcy as soon as next week according to sources. The bailout they received yesterday from Citadel and Point72 went “poof” today as the GameStop $GME
    momentum continued.The fund was forced to liquidate its Alibaba ( $BABA ) position after hours.

    >(((Andrew Left)))
    >(((Melvin Capital)))

    This could literally crash the entire stock market. No joke.

    Where did you hear about gamestop back when it was that low?

    I bought some shares this morning, not a ton, but they were up 90% today. Thinking of buying more but its already up 50% in after hours trading.

    Not sure if it could crash the market, or send it to the moon. Gamestop wasn't the only short squeeze happening on Monday. Just the biggest, and most profound one. One stock I own, shot up 38% on Monday. Some folks sold, but I didn't. It corrected a bit, then went up 10% again today. It's up 25% in two days. This, and the stock is fundamentally doing well with great dividends.

    Short sellers are not doing well right now. Gamestop is incredible because it closed at $147 today, up 92%!!! Plus, it's set to open tomorrow morning at over $200! Any shorts on GME are toast. Melvin Capital may not last a week until bankruptcy, they may just go poof tomorrow.

    This story is fascinating at what a large group of small investors, smart people, who come together to make something big happen. Go main street!
    life is good.
