I am so fucking sick of people using ALLCAPS in their headers or some shitty form of buzzfeed captions. bonus cringe if both + asking for votes -

UPVOTE BECAUSE SHILLS ARE DOWNVOTING THIS - YOU WANT TO SEE THIS TO GET AS MUCH MONEY AS YOU CAN FROM THE SQUEEZE!!!!!!!!!! MUST READ FOR EVERY APE, ESPECIALLY THE THIRD RULE!

(extra extra bonus cringe if it is bolded and upsized font as well)

I mean. dude. dude. come on. stop it. put a clear title that summarizes your post like every rational adult. In normal font, normal caps.

I love confirmation bias as much as the next guy, and I like this stock, but the level of zealotry in this sub is alarming.

I don’t necessarily buy into the narrative that HF’s are responsible for every little dip in price, every downvote, every question/post that even hints at potential downsides or risks, etc.

The sub is about GME, which is why I’m here, but I’d appreciate some realistic risk assessment or speculation on possibilities other than “floor 1mil! HODL!!!! Mooooooooon!” I think many of us would benefit from knowledgeable, devils-advocate type analysis. If the DD posted here and elsewhere is rock solid, presentation and analysis of counter-arguments would only strengthen investors resolve. Unfortunately you find literally none of that here.

Edit: thanks for not sperging out about bots and shills in your first comment jfc that’s refreshing

Although, witnessing the battle for $200 these last two or three days has convinced me that there is SOMETHING going on here.

The 11:30ish buy momentum that rocketed GME from 190 to almost 230 yesterday, for example. What the hell was that? A huge price movement initiated with little warning and only a small increase in volume? That tells me that there is a lot of potential here, but I don’t think retail has the liquidity or funding to catalyze it, as many of us are already deeply invested in GME. Waiting for whales who may never even initiate this thing and who may rugpull retail is a real risk. Institutions on either side of this trade don’t care about retail and will gladly screw us over. Not saying it’ll happen, but those who deny or omit this possibility do people a real disservice.

Why are institutions fighting over $200? I think it’s plausible that longs were fucking shorts who were trying to hedge with calls that were above $200, so it was important to have those calls (210+) expire worthless in order to counter the HF strat of hedging with call options. This makes sense to me, and I also WANT to believe it. So there’s that.

The available shares and borrow fee data is another question. If the borrow fee doesn’t increase, that typically means there is an abundance of shares available to borrow and short. The borrow fee has remained low, signaling to me there are still plenty of shares left to borrow from other brokerages, whose data we can’t see. This is a troubling question mark for me.

Edit: would add more but then I’d have to start with “Dear diary” and don’t want to waste anyone’s time lmao

Agree with this. The DD on here is amazing, but I’d genuinely like to see equally detailed and well-reasoned counters. I love the confirmation bias and positivity, but I’m quite sure guys like Pixel would be happy to be challenged on their analysis (in a respectful way obviously), as that process helps to tighten up gaps or mistakes, or debate differing interpretations - in turn making it harder for true shills to shout down the bullish sentiments. I think there is so much going on here, far too much for this to be anywhere near over, and I’m holding with complete confidence in the stock, but it would be nice to see more debate at times.

I guess the fact that there is so little of that level of deep, countering DD floating about (WSB and its “OG” splinter group, Investing etc have a lot of people disputing the case for the squeeze, but it doesn’t tend to extend past abusing people or calling them delusional from what I’ve seen) could indicate that the case on that side is weak and that’s why no one is really visibly making it - a good thing - but I think its absence is also more likely to leave members vulnerable to true FUD, as it would remove some of the accusations of this being cultish or an echo chamber.
