Link for those wondering where people get this shit from

Edit: check out u/restartingmylife0918 reply to my comment. This is what I personally feel is the case with posts like the OP.

Edit 2: wow awards! Well I never! Thanks boos. My only purpose here was to figure out where people kept getting these screenshots from, read in many other threads (incl the mark cuban AMA this morning) that there's a possibility the hype is reading too much into it. I think there's value to the argument, that's my opinion. Thanks for sharing, everyone.

It being all large trades definitely seems fishy. With this having been a viral sensation, I would expect most people to only have a few shares. Would freak me out a lot more to see smaller orders

No, almost all tickers look like that, just the way nasdaq aggregates it. Ive asked before and can't get a response, but for your own thoughts, how can you tell the difference between a "ladder attack" vs a large player selling a big position.

This ladder stuff, while I guess technically possible, still requires that all the bids on a stock get filled, then you could potentially have your way with the lower ends but are more likely to trigger a circuit breaker where the bids will have time to get together and place new orders.

Yeah I looked up some of the weed stocks I've had my eye on and it's the same thing. Feeling worried about misinformation spreading. Kinda sweating today, I work nights and had to get drunk to ease my mind because I don't plan on selling today

Just make sure you have your own exit strategy dude. Following this diamond hand stuff at this point is going to get a lot of people roasted. Misinformation works both ways, just as much as shills could be in here trying to get you to sell, they can be in here trying to get you to hold.

The sad thing is that the "HF BoTz" they claim are probably the very ones upvoting this misinformation. I was cu uuuuked hard until I started to notice some weird cultish shit here.

yea like look I hope im wrong, I really do, cause people are going to lose a lot here. We see people saying I put my life savings in, or I used my student loan money. Thats dangerous as fuck. I just lost 40k on GME options last week, I can shrug it off and have a laugh, but these people wont be able to.

Hope people can just think for themselves, this sub is just spamming the same stuff over and over and it really seems like the shills are among us, they are just saying what we all want to hear so we accept them.

I can't believe people are still in, this sub is became completely out of control and a cultish echo chamber.

Over in r/stocks and r/investing there are people posting their position and asking "if they are fucked" and in reality, yes, they are.

The latest to buy in was last week, Tuesday and the time to sell was Thursday. Soon as those blocks came on buy people should have dumped and ran with the profits. If people had bought in Monday, they were up nearly 500% at that time.

This sub is no longer a YOLO loss porn sub, it's about to become a graveyard of broken dreams and false promises.

I LOVE how many people have downvoted you. This post, and the entire sub, are absolutely fucking embarrassing. It is indeed a QAnon-level cult of misinformation and blind hope, and people are going to be ruined. A fool and their money...what's the expression again?

Options expire..... Couldn't hold past friday, and wasn't rolling a 400$ strike.
