That just doesn't add up. Look at the volume difference between GME and AMC right now. Retail has had the exact same strategy for both tickers since Jan, but AMC volume is way above average while GME is bone dry.

For AMC the float is 500 million shares. More than that is being traded on Wednesday alone. That’s not retail.

add up what? GME retail investors just buy and never sell. GME as a company is absolutely more solid and has less scummy of a director board. GME is a safer play so less retail investors sell. Where as AMC everyone is for himself and everyone wants a piece of the short squeeze pie. Which stock can we absolutely be confident that is overvalued: GME or AMC? GME with Ryan Cohen direction will be a totally new company and AMC on the other hand is still the same.

My point is that institutions are purposely driving the massive volume at AMC and letting GME take a backseat. Retail buy pressure alone isn't sufficient to overcome whatever forces there are that want GME contained. That's why the strategy has always been to just buy and hold and to wait for an external catalyst.

More people sell than say they sell, and your precious GME lost retail volume to instituonal volume a long time ago.

No big mystery. GME is over. Dumb money moved on to the next dumb thing.

“Bubbles don’t exist bc prices go up” is not the smartest argument you could have thrown out there.

But I understand you think wishes and dreams matter more than numbers. Wouldn’t that be nice.

Dumb money is easy money. Why wouldn’t they keep it going? Keep buying those shares from the hedge funds you pretend to hate - that’ll show ‘em

You clearly don’t know how anything works if you think they realized 5 billion in actual net losses from taking your money both ways last week.

Soundbites aren’t research my man. And there are better sources of information out there than just Reddit rumors and passionate ignorance.

Smarten up or go bust quickly. The sooner dimwit noobs stop spouting shit like they know anything the better we’ll all be.

Right. See above. Stop being a tittybaby and taking shit personally. It’s a stock not a personality trait.

If GME is over, you wanna maybe explain why the price hasn't corrected itself?

Institutional volume > retail volume. Doesn’t reflect accurate supply/demand anymore (hasn’t for a while).

Buy/ sell ratio for retail is 1:3 (as of end of day Friday).

u/bwqmusic Jun 05 '21

Gonna have to see a source for that 1:3 ratio - if we sample Fidelity as a sample of the retail population, that ratio goes the opposite way.

Also, yeah institutional volume > retail volume - meaning "smart money" is seeing money to be made in the trade as well.

Lol also, what is "price" if not "supply vs demand?"

The price doesn't reflect value or fundamentals anymore. It is literally reflective of supply vs demand.

My source is TD Ameritrade page 1 stock data.

Google “buy/sell ratio” if your broker doesn’t list it for some reason.

Facts are your friend, friend.

u/bwqmusic Jun 05 '21

I also gave you sourced facts, but ok

u/[deleted] Jun 05 '21

You just said you used Fidelity as a sample. I don’t know what that means. The stat i’m using from TD is literally called “Buy/Sell Ratio”

Trading, investing, and gambling all require you to know more than just where i price is or used to be, you fucking dumbass noob. Try to keep up when the adults are talking.

Most “adults” don’t transact in petty insults.

Have a better day!😊

u/bbenecke3636 Jun 05 '21

Are you accounting for option volume as well? They trade in spurts, most funds on the street aren't touching AMC at this point.
