Inspired by the recent events in wallstreetbets causing $GME, $BB, and $BBRY, among other historically highly shorted stocks to surge just to spite some rich people in wall street, I've decided to come out of retirement from wallstreetbets and publish a new edition of DDDD (Data-Driven DD) covering the exact mechanics that made this possible. I’ll also introduce those of you that are unfamiliar how wallstreetbet’s favorite gambling device, stock options, actually work and how they can be used by this subreddit as a weapon of mass destruction against hedge funds like Melvin - all dumbed down to a fifth grade reading level so that the average person in this subreddit will mostly understand what I’m talking about.
Disclaimer - This is not financial advice, and a lot of the content below is my personal opinion. In fact, the numbers, facts, or explanations presented below could be wrong and be made up. Don't buy random options because some person on the internet says so. Do your own research and come to your own conclusions on what you should do with your own money, and how levered you want to be based on your personal risk tolerance.

Shorting

How It Works
Most traditional (i.e. boomer) investors usually try to make money by going long - i.e. “buy low and sell high”; this is when you buy a stock thinking it will go up in the future (bullish). Shorting is the opposite of this, you “sell high and buy low”, thinking the stock will go down in the future (bearish). This is usually done through the broker, where the prospective short seller would “borrow” the shares from them, and they would need to pay back these shares in some future date by “covering their shorts” - or buying back the exact same quantity of shares they owe the broker.
For example, imagine that there were only 10 Surprised Pikachu Pokemon cards in the world. Because nobody wants to deal with taking physical possession of these cards and risk losing their Pokemon card in their laundry or something, everyone pays a Pokemon card dealer a small fee to store it for them. Through their dealer, you can buy and sell these Pokemon cards as well. A 🌈🐻 realizes that maybe Pokemon cards are dumb and borrows 2 Surprised Pikachu cards (who has a prearranged agreement with some institutional Pokemon card hoarder to loan them out for interest) and sell them for $420 each, thinking that they're actually work $100 at most, and plans to buy the Pokemon cards back at that price to repay his Pokemon card loan (i.e. covering their shorts) - this is a short sale. Since no one actually wants to physically hold these Pokemon cards, these cards physically stay with the dealer who could then lend out these exact same Pokemon card if the buyer also has an agreement to allow them to do so. This means that you can actually have people owing more than the total number of Surprised Pikachu Pokemon cards in existence (i.e. short interest > 100%).
Replace “Surprised Pikachu Pokemon card” with stocks and “Pokemon card dealer” with “broker” and you have a short sale of shares. Interestingly enough, this also applies 80% to how banks work as well.
Short Squeezes
So when does a short seller need to cover their shorts? Well, either when a) The short seller wants to, either to take profit or to stop a loss, b) Their broker forces them to through a margin call, or c) The broker forces them to as the broker has recalled their loan, usually for a hard to borrow stock - they get “bought in”. Today, we’ll focus on C) because this is how short squeezes happen.
So, what does a broker recalling their loan mean? Well, to go back to the Pokemon card example, imagine that the dealer only has 6 Surprised Pikachu Pokemon cards that he’s legally allowed to loan out. Some more 🌈🐻 short sells all the 6 remaining Pokemon cards until the dealer has no more available on hand. So what happens when someone wants to buy a Surprised Pikachu Pokemon Card and doesn’t want the dealer to lend out their cards? He’ll have to force one of those 🌈🐻 to buy back the card that they owe them so the dealer can give it to the prospective buyer. But who can the 🌈🐻 buy back the card from? The dealer. But the dealer doesn’t have any cards to sell, so they need to force another 🌈🐻 to cover so that the former 🌈🐻 can cover their shorts. This vicious cycle repeats and leads towards a sudden surge in demand for Surprised Pikachu Pokemon cards and a spike in prices for it - a short squeeze.
The Institutional Factor
One thing alluded above was that shares can only be borrowed from *some* share holders, but not all. So who exactly can and does a broker typically borrow these shares from? These are usually margin accounts of either institutional and sometimes (although much less frequently) retail investors. Usually, when an entity signs a margin agreement, which allows them to borrow either cash or shares from the broker, they give permission to the broker to also lend out their shares in the process, and thereby also give up their voting rights - in case you’ve ever wondered who actually the share *actually* belonged to in shareholders meetings. Since almost every institution except Warren Buffet uses margin to a certain extent, and not that many retail investors do, especially given that retirement accounts are forbidden to use margin, and it’s much easier to “find” one big source of TSLA shares from one big institution with a margin account rather than find thousands of smaller margin retail accounts who hold TSLA shares, so most of the time, these shares are being borrowed from an institution (i.e. pension fund, hedge fund). This means that shares that are almost disproportionately held by retail investors are much harder to short because they’re harder to borrow from the broker, and retail-heavy stocks like HTZ, GME, NIO, and NKLA, which virtually no institutions actually hold, will demand high interest rates when shorting and the sellers can much more easily be forced to cover during a short squeeze.

Stock Options

What are Stock Options
A stock option is a contract between the writer and whoever holds it that gives the option holder the right to buy (call option) or sell (put option) 100 shares of the underlying stock on or before the expiry date at a specified strike price. So for example, buying a GME 1/29 $1000c gives whoever the holder of this contract is the option to buy from the writer of this contract 100 shares of GME at $1000 / share on or before 1/29. Obviously if GME is lower than $1000 before that date, the holder would be an idiot to exercise this option to buy GME shares for more than their current market value, so they expire worthless.
This effectively provides the option holder an immense amount of leverage, and provides the opportunity for them to 10x or even 100x their original investment if the underlying asset moves the right way - for example because a subreddit declares war on a hedge fund and pumps up a stock to make them go bankrupt, while limiting their losses to the cost of the option. The option writer will in return receive a premium for the option, potentially risking an infinite amount of money, but with a high likelihood of making a small profit. These writers would either be

Theta gang - who are looking to generate a tidy income source from those option premiums and pray that the stock doesn’t move in the wrong direction too much
A market maker - who writes the contract when they see an arbitrage opportunity between the market value of an option and the theoretical value of it, and hedging their contract they wrote by buying / shorting the underlying assets so they effectively don’t actually take a position in the market.

We’ll go over how 2) works and how this mechanism can be used as a financial nuclear bomb, but first you need to learn some greek.
The Greeks
The greeks in finance is a set of factors that can affect the price of a stock option / group of options
Delta - Change of the option price as the stock price changes
Gamma - Change in Delta as the stock price changes
Vega - Change in the option price as volatility of the stock changes
Theta - The decay in the option price as the expiration date gets nearer
Rho - Change of the option price as the interest rate changes; Most people ignore this
Looking at the greeks of the gambling tickets you buy is very useful to analyzing the ways you can make or lose money on them. Think TSLA will go up a modest amount? Buy a high-Delta call. Think GME is going to 🚀🚀🚀 1000% more? Look for a high Gamma call so your Delta gains accelerate as GME 🚀🌕. Do you feel like a vampire and want to have a steady income source from degenerate wallstreetbet gamblers on a stock you think will go flat (relative to historical volatility) over the next few months? Join theta gang and sell a high-Theta and high-Vega option!
Market Makers
The Black-Scholes model is a fancy mathematical model that describes a “perfect price” (a lot of caveats here) for a stock option. This is done by showing how every option written can theoretically be perfectly hedged by a series of purchases or short sells on the underlying stock. This means that theoretically, if there is a large gap between the theoretical price from Black Scholes and the actual price for an option, there is an “arbitrage” opportunity - this is where market makers come in.
Market makers are companies that provide liquidity to a market by offering to be counterparty to trades. This is especially useful in stock options, where a single ticker can have thousands of options, and there might be someone who wants to buy a GME 1/29 $1000c but no one is actually actively selling it. However, this option might be listed anyways and Citadel will sell you the call if anyone tries to buy it and then immediately hedge it. In fact, when you buy an option chances are you’re not actually buying it from its previous owner selling an option they already own, but from a market maker like Citadel (who is responsible for over 99% of all options volume in 3000 stocks).
So what happens when someone buys an option from a market maker? Since the market maker typically can’t (and probably don’t want to) take a position, meaning taking a directional bet if a stock goes up or down, they’ll immediately hedge the option they just conjured out of thin air by buying or shorting the equivalent number of shares such that the Delta of those shares is the same as the Delta of the option they wrote to remain Delta-neutral, so if the stock goes up or down their position value doesn’t change - this is called Delta hedging. Furthermore, as the stock price moves up (calls) or down (puts), they’ll need to buy or sell even more of those shares to remain Delta neutral since the Delta will change due to the option’s Gamma - this is called Gamma hedging.

Putting It All Together - How options can be used as weapons of mass destruction against short sellers

Now we have the tools to understand how these two financial concepts put together can make billion-dollar hedge funds go bankrupt. Through Delta and Gamma hedging of market makers, buyers can have the effect of buying shares dozens of times the value they actually spent buying their option; a XYZ 4/20 690c can cost only $100 in premiums but causes the market maker to buy $2000 in the underlying stock to hedge against it. If you get enough retail investors to do this, they'll have the impact of billion-dollar whales on the market despite their small stimulus-check-funded portfolios.
Now, you do this on a stock that is heavily shorted, and with very little institutions actually holding real shares of these - making it harder for brokers to find shares to borrow, and you have yourself a weapon of mass financial destruction capable of making billions of Melvin’s money disappear in a single day and potentially have GME 🚀🚀🚀 to a trillion dollar market cap.
How wallstreetbets Controls the Stock Market
The one thing that’s interesting about all of this is wallstreebet’s unique position in being able to facilitate this weapon of mass financial destruction because

Most rich people or institutions too risk adverse to buy large amounts of out of the money options (unless you're Chamath or Elon)
This can only really happen on stocks that very few institutions (i.e. rich people) actually own, meaning it needs to be held / bought on mass by retail investors
In any other scenario where 1 and 2 happen to be true, this would be classified as market manipulation and be immediately shut down by the SEC

My Positions
wallstreetbets veterans may recognize me as the 🌈🐻 who wrote those long-ass 2000 word essays about how the stock market is in a bubble and loaded up on VIX calls last time you heard from me. Although I still stand by my thesis and stocks like GME, TSLA, and NKLA is just proof that we've reached the euphoria phase of it, I learned my lesson that I'm idiot trying to short it (for exactly the reasons described above) and got the fuck out of my position when VIX shot up back in Sept. Most of my "real money" has since been moved to gold and crypto, but because I'm a degenerate gambler, I still have a bit of money playing with /ES and a calls on highly-shorted stocks with meme-stock potential (i.e. vast majority held by retail investors). Now that I'm busy with work again, I probably won't be posting as frequently as I have had in the past, but you'll see me around from time to time :).

Sharing my humble opinion on the current gme situation. I invite you all to discuss

Stay Fucking Strong

🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀💎🙌🦍💪🦍💪🦍💪
If you were faced 70 BILLION in the hole, losing to self proclaimed retards, autists, and degenerate gamblers you’d be doing EVERYTHING in your power to not lose.
I read a post that said this is financial warfare, we’re in WWIII right fucking now. It’s the 99% vs the 1%. It wasn’t a joke. We broke the market last Thursday and they want to keep us down.
It will not be a big swoop, currently it’s psychological warfare - want confirmation look at any social media or main stream media. They’re either silent or telling you you’re an idiot. The hedge funds want you to sell, they want you to feel like an actual retard. Look at the Melvin citadel tropic thunder meme, look at the “ladder attack” meme. Fuck look at all the shit head memes that are not making any of us feel good.

hold the fucking line because this IS bigger than all of us. Realise your place in history and take part in showing Wall Street that retail investors can say what the price is at.

These fucks are mad that you are not doing what they say and what they want to you to do. The free market was established to let the people (common people) invest in what they want & make bank collectively.
With every decision you make comes a form of belief, which is a truth in this world. You believe in love, laughter, family yet it can’t defined by any one word sentence or photograph. The shorts -are- still higher than the float, and what the fuck are people missing here?? WE LIKE THE STOCK BUY THE STOCK STOCK GOES UP HOLD THE STOCK UNTIL WE FUCKING WIN. You’ll know when we’ve won.
I’m fucking disgusted by what this sub has become. Infiltrated by bots, shills, provocateurs. The old crowd might never come back unless we grow a pair of balls stop wallowing in self pity and fight together like the wallstreetbets we are.
Please think for yourself. Do not yolo your life savings in hopes it will rocket to the moon, do not put yourself at risk of losing the little stability you’re holding onto right now in hopes this will be your light in the glory hole tunnel.
But if you can... Do you want to stick it to the people who said “hell is coming” and then made BILLIONS of dollars off the little people??? Do you want to fight for the people who worked 20 years day and night to grow their restaurant, ma and pa retail stores who are locally owned??? Fucking fight for all of those people. The situation seems absolutely ludicrous and ridiculous that THIS RIGHT HERE is our fight, but do not get confused or allow the media to gaslight you. We DID break the market, we did make every single hedge fund shit their pants but this fight isn’t fucking over.
You need to dig deep as this is emotional, hope is emotional, making a change and defeating a bully is hard as fuck. LOOK AT EPSTEIN. Guilty as mother fucking sin. We don’t even have a mother fucking answer about that one.
You think the people in charge are just going to give up? That they won’t pull every single dirty, manipulative, callous, petty, illegal trick in the book to make sure a bunch of autists and retards lose it all??? Fucking wake up and ask yourself where you want to be next week, a year from now. Do you want to look back 20 years and feel like you got fucked in the ass?? Fuck no. It’s that simple. Hold the fucking line and make sure everyone else does the same (within reason!!) or we deserve the royal ass fucking these elites give you every single day, stroking it to the loses you took in 08.
This is not financial advise. I’m not a financial advisor and fuck you to everyone trying to destroy mother fucking retail AGAIN. Seriously when the fuck is it going to be enough for you greedy ass fucks?

Dear Member,
Hello fellow degenerate gambler! May I introduce you to the Pretty Decent Crew's newsletter for the trading week ending on February 12th? We hope that this email finds you well and not dead from the Meme Stonk War of 2021.
Compared to the last few weeks, we have a relatively boring week coming up. Our primary goal is to move our assets into areas that will produce steady gains. I have two focuses with this.

Use the current situation to optimize gains through high risk and volatile stocks that could shoot us in the foot.
Acquire holdings that will let us cash in on the technological transition over the coming years
I know, it was intended to be two, but let's be real. We are definitely going to hold out buying power for options on the Disney earnings report!

My first thoughts here are that our situation doesn't allow for high quality options trading given that there are huge transitions occurring within the retail investor. We have a horde of idiots moving on from GME, AMC, BB, and NOK. They have no idea what to do other than go back on the Palantir train. With these things in mind, we're going to make a couple safer plays this week and minimize new options.
Worth noting, but not detailed this week is a movement of long holding funds into ARK related ETFs (including PRNT). After reading through ARK's Big Idea's 2021, I truly believe their ETFs are going to obliterate the S&P over the coming 6-12 months. This is heavily dependent upon how much innovation occurs and is facilitated by the government. If the current trend continues, they're going to average well over 20% this year due to the needs of companies moving into new sectors of technology. I don't know which will be the most notable; so, I've chosen to hold all of their assets.

DIS (The Mouse)
- It's time to bet the house on The Mouse. With earnings coming up after hours Thursday 2/11, they're going to continue their pop they've been showing over the previous week. It's VERY tough to tell where they're going to end the week, but this is a prime opportunity to do some quality percentage gains on OTM calls. If you're looking at high premiums, make sure you're careful to play the higher traffic options so that you don't get burned. I'll personally recommend steering clear of the $200 number unless you're willing to risk it all. Disney clearing the $200 mark this week would be massive. The lower premium makes it enticing, but it won't happen unless their subscriber numbers are through the roof. For me, I'm shooting for $190 in hopes of getting a quality OTM to ITM transition and then dumping it at open on Friday.

CVS (You know you want to do it...)
- WIth earnings coming up 2/16, they're expected to crush the estimated earnings. The problem here is of course: "are the earnings already priced in?" You know what? Maybe they are, maybe they aren't. CVS fluctuated over $2.50 in price over the last week alone ($71.50 - $74.00). I'm going to dig deep and hit the $75C for 2/19 in hopes of a solid outcome on earnings. Will this happen? I'm going to say yes, BUT I wouldn't expect it to hold. Both Walgreens and CVS stock have been more volatile than usual given the hopes they receive approval as vaccine distribution locations. I'm going to hold the calls in hopes of a solid pop and then dump them all when there are high hopes of a solid close on 2/19.

MARA + RIOT
- I'm going to double down on these two because of the general adaptation occurring throughout large corporations. There is no reason to think this will die off. The limited supply of Voldemort and "the halvening" that occurred in the last year will also contribute to a continued rise in Voldemort demand.
- According to ARK, if companies move ONLY 1% of their free cash into Voldemort, it will rise by $40,000. Now this is a long stretch, but if they moved to 10% of free cash into Voldemort, it would jump by $400,000. This seems unrealistic right now, but 1% is absolutely possible. Multiple companies including Square have already adopted this concept with great success.
- MARA is successfully moving up this week towards new ATHs. Voldemort will likely continue to rise over the coming year. The play here is obviously not short term returns. The play is holding a company that will be worth 2-3x in the coming years.
- RIOT is now right back on track with its three month moving average. The volatility here is inevitable given the movements in Voldemort and associated Voldemort infrastructure.

CCIV
- CCIV crushed last week and I'm going to double down on this too because Lucid and CCIV refuse to acknowledge or deny the rumors of their mergeacquisition. If I were a gambling man (I am), I would hold a small stake of CCIV shares as I hold deep OTM calls with a heavy Theta. At a $50 strike, you will pay 10% extra for the 8/20 calls over the May calls. May could be a tight race to guarantee the acquisition is occurring. August gives us a strong theta and will allow it to grow.

Sincerely,
Lehman Brothers' Risk Management Department
p.s. Mouse is in the house.

I’m bored fellas. I feel like that Pablo meme from Narcos. I feel like Dumbo’s mother pre-Dumbo. I feel like the ape invasion has pooped all over my precious market, and I’m slowly becoming a 🌈🐻.
All I hear is correction this, correction that. Well, correct this. $TARD- the WSB ETF, my new project. Now, will it be an ETF that you can buy? No, I have no idea if that’s even possible to create. Will you be able to buy it? Yes, if you’re a europoor and you use the PoS that is Trading 212, because of their dank pie system.
I’ve been collecting some suggestions, and here’s what I’ve got so far

PLTR- do I need to say it?
ELY- golf baby •CRSR- gaming •CRSP-geneing
APPH- I have no idea
MSTR- some sort of cloud business thingy
CNK- theatre stock
XSOE- no idea, an ETF I think
DIS- the mouse.
QCOM- semiconductor dork shit
LHX- defence tech
ERIC- telecom from friendly Sweden
TAKOF- drone delivery! Cool for me as I am a WKHS $3 sell survivor, and I will forever chase that shit
MIK- BECKY x Boomer arts and crafts
DKNG- degenerate gamblers. Do we still like them after they shit the bed?
STIC- will eventually turn into BARK. Due to it being a pet-based company, it is automatically the next CHWY
XOM- evil oil people
DDD- no idea
SRAC- space SPAC? A couple more that I have absolutely no idea about, but appeared on my watchlist

•HOL •TER
Now you may have noticed that there are a few companies that I have no idea about. This is totally fine, I want this to track all of the quality DD companies we’ve seen here/that we’re bullish on. I’ll be investing some money into it, but the real goal here is to track the overall performance against the market.
Please suggest any others stocks I might’ve missed, please shit on any of the current suggestions that we don’t want, and please help me decide
1) dump a lump sum and leave it in, or DCA over a week or two/move around obvious buy/sell events (eg PLTR lockup expiration)
2) should every stock be given equal weighting? Imo yes, but interested to hear.
I would of course post updates as to the its performance, and a final pie. Possibly update the pie as time goes on and new DDs are published? Whatever you guys want.

Yes, this is a casino. Yes, the glories of WSB have been built on the charred corpses of untold retards who diamond-handed weeklies until the bitter end, and the few who climbed atop the fray to reach Valhalla. But there's an inconvenient reality that calls into question the mythology of WSB, which is that many of our most storied figures are, beyond the memes and rocket emojis, investors, rather than gamblers or their slightly more couth bretheren, traders.
If there's one thing that I hope the flock of newly-minted degenerates realizes, however recent events have shaken out, it's that there are multiple paths here and multiple ways to get rich and go broke or some horrific combination thereof. After GME or (insert stock here) comes and goes, there will be other plays that speak to your fancy. But the more you know about yourself and how you'd like to play this very elaborate game, the less likely you are to get fucked by it.
Hopping onto meme stocks is just one path. It's the most accessible and I'm all for it. Entire currencies have been created based solely on meme power. But the essential thing to know is that history does not repeat itself. There will never be another TSLA or another GME. When you invest in a meme, you aren't investing in something bound by history, or reason. Many of the stocks that become memes actually begin, like GME, as solid value propositions. By the time they become memes, though, you've already missed the "value" phase and you're basically banking on something that's hard to pin down.
It's a slippery basis for an investment, but it's made a lot of people rich. Maybe it will make you rich. This is one path that you can choose, but here's the thing, you actually have to be committed to it. Hopscotching from one meme to another won't get you to tendie town. That's trading, not investing, and trading doesn't work out well for most people.
The unique thing about GME - and many will disagree - is that it's a meme based on a trade rather than an investment. If you're an investor, a short squeeze is meaningless. Ryan Cohen can't sell at the peak. I think it's all gotten fantastically muddled. People have piled onto this play which is essentially a trade, but they aren't approaching it like traders. Again, trading is hard. If you're like me, then you suck at it and have had to swear it off after blowing up your portfolio twice on stupid options plays. Traders - the ones far more sophisticated than you and me - have actually been making a killing on GME.
I'd argue that the GME team does consist of investors, but they're investing in the wrong thing. At the end of the day, you can only invest in a company, and not a community of investors. Investing will never become a "movement" because movements are about values, while the market is about money. In this game, money always wins. You can attach a face to it - Melvin Capital, Citadel, whatever - but it is inherently faceless.
DFV didn't initially invest in a meme, or a movement - he invested in a (deep fucking) value proposition informed by his analysis of where Gamestop stood as a company and where it was heading. And then, as we all know, he held. And that's exactly what he has in common with WSB's other luminaries.
If you can see what the market doesn't yet see, put a chunk on the line that you can afford to lose, and wait (that's the important part) then you might have some juicy gain porn of your own to post in a year or two. You need conviction, though, or you'll just spend all your time looking at the tickers that made it big that day and move on to the next, sexier play. The only way to have conviction is to learn enough that you can actually internalize the DD that you come across and make it your own. And usually the only way to learn is to fail. Maybe that's the part of the road you're on right now, but it's a good start.
Edited for TL;DR - Know the difference between trading and investing, and try to do more of the latter.

Watching Cramer shit his pants with his jaw on the floor talking about us “Reddit traders” controlling not just the speculative market, but the market in general, really made me realize how much wallstreetbets is going to go down in financial history. We’re controlling the market during:
-The fastest bear market EVER -The fastest recovery EVER -During a worldwide pandemic -What must be the biggest increase in day trading EVER -We make what used to be considered a boring topic FINANCE into memes that take the internet and popular culture BY STORM (stonks) -We have helped popularize investing for an entire GENERATION -We have still managed to use the word RETARD during the most PC TIME IN HISTORY with no fucks given -We have undoubtedly created multiple multimillionaires (and even more debt) -We have changed the way brokers run their platforms -CNBC and Bloomberg have said we influence the big boys, and you don’t think the big boys are in here too? Of course they are
What does the future hold for not just this subreddit, but for this generation of degenerate gamblers?
-Will WSB redistribute wealth to a nation of retards? -Will the cure for autism come from studying this sub? -Will stonks always go up? -Will we make Elon Musk into a trillionaire and help him move life to Mars? -What you guys got and where do you see WSB in financial history?
Disclaimer: (I may or may not be high right now and not positive if what I said makes sense) I also dedicate my username to 95% of the sub
Positions:
All SPY calls because stonks only go up. Also PSTH March $20 calls and TSLA $694.20 calls

Here are some thoughts on price an charts and a look at the market as a whole. But first here are some things you need to bear in mind so I don't need to keep explaining them on future updates.

These are just thoughts on things I've noticed in the market. I'm not going to give you a price prediction because they are never correct. It is up to you to interpret these things as you see fit, what I may see as bullish you can see as bearish and to be honest the answer is never black and white. The point of these posts is just to make you aware and think of certain things you may not have thought of before
Fundamentals dont mean anything in this market. It's a tough pill to swallow I know. Vet price is not being pushed by main net usage. You see millions of VTHO burnt a day, I see 8K USD. If you think that 8K of value a day somehow drives the needle on a token with a MC of 1.6 Bn USD then I've got a bridge to sell you.
I tend to work on the assumption that retail is often wrong, being in a crowded trade is not the right side of the trade to be on. If everyone is super bullish and leverage long then chances are this is the wrong side of the trade to be on.
Further to the above I dont take much notice of meme lines and structures that are plastered all over Crypto Twitter. Theses almost always end up in a trap of sorts- remember if everyone is watching the same thing it will be a trap 90% of the time. For Vet I watch the weekly and monthly resistance and support lines - the price respects these and moves about them incredibly well. These are the only things you need to keep an eye on for short term movements with Vet that are consistently respected.
I 100% believe there is a massive Market Maker (MM) who controls Vet (likewise with most other tokens). It's not a conspiracy theory, it's what happens in an unregulated market where there is a huge amount of money to be made from retail. You can see him in the charts and I try and point this out as much as possible. The MM role is to push the price up as high as he can whilst minimising longs and maximising shorts.
Ok so the Long and Short thing is a pretty huge deal. The Futures market for Vet is massive, almost as big as the spot market. The futures market is made up of gamblers many are degenerate high leverage gamblers. This is important because if you understand this then you understand MM movements. In order to create FOMO (in the absence of news which is the only thing that drives price given there is almost zero external real world demand for Vet vs its supply) a MM needs to pump the price. If you have 10m USD of leveraged longs open at the start of the pump then that is an amount (or more) that the MM is going to have to absorb as he pumps the coin higher and higher. Not ideal for the MM. Conversely if everyone is short and there are 10m USD of shorts well then that is fuel to the pump as by pumping the coin he liquidates these positions and effectively people are forced to market buy Vet as they get their positions closed. It is clearly a lot more cost effective for the MM to pump when everyone is short and in disbelief. Amazingly Binance gives us this position info here . So how do we read this? Well that's going to be down to experience and time in the market getting a feel for it. At a very basic level when you see the Long Short ratio around 1 then retail is short and if you get to around 4 then retail is long. Now be warned that is a very basic way of looking at it because you also need to factor in open interest change as well as a few other variables. However this is probably the most important trading tool you can use for Vet because when the futures market is heavy long the price ALWAYS dumps. And vice versa when you can see that the futures market is heavy short we pump like crazy.
Now let's take the above concept a little further. How do we monitor this and how does the MM think? Well let's break up leveraged positions a bit. In my mind the most popular liquidation that the MM goes for is the 10x leverage. So a 10% dip will liquidate that position. When I see that retail is starting to swing in to long positions I start to look at resistance and support lines and start to see where a 10% dip brings us to- by bringing the price down 10% and starting to liquidate a bunch of longs where does that bring price? Does it bring it to just under support for example in which case an excellent move to make beause you clear 10x longs as well as trigger stop losses in both the spot and futures market that are under support. On top of that you trigger short openings that will happen once a support is broken. That is the most classic fuck you move the MM makes. He fills his bags happily down here with a high volume sell off wick that he triggered but didnt actually sell. At times of very high exuberance I look for the longer move- when I see a very high open interest and a high long ratio then I start to look for the 'clearing of the deck' a move that wipes out even 3x moves, positions that are thought of as safe. In this scenario the MM is looking to totally clean the futures deck and entice shorts to open after such a big sell off. As an example let's take the recent move above 3 cents- you'll see that we spent a lot of time breaking above 3 cents, collecting those 10x longs on the break of 3 cents, and then dipping down liquidating them. This happened over and over, the MM had finally grabbed everything he could out of this leverage amount and traders either ran out of money or moved on. However there were still less reckless traders he had to get rid of- how about the 3x 'safe' traders or those holding positions at higher leverage below 3 cents...afterall the open interest was still very high. To me it was super obvious that we would have one last rally that would sell off at exactly 3.1cents (just high enough to grab the last of the 'it's broken 3 cents properly' traders) which would then dump is to underneath the massive support of 2.3 cents. Why? Well look at the maths. A 3x opened above 3 cents would get liquidated at around 2.2 (more or less) and normally those kind of 'safe' traders would have a stop loss just above so they dont loose it all. Breaking such a massive support would also trigger a bunch of spot stop losses and trigger shorts opening. The move from 3.1 to there was a perfect scenario for the MM, it was too tempting not to do. By going for a 30% drop he wipes out almost all leveraged positions on the long side, creates a massive sell liquidity event that fills his orders, and entices retail to go short (adding short liquidation fuel to his pump). Now this played out literally exactly like that, we ended up dipping lower after that initial 3.1 to 2.2 move due to BTC but you need to start seeing BTC movements as things that MM use to push price where they want to. A further dip under 2 cents would have been incredibly hard for the MM to do by himself yet it only puts him in a better position with even more longs cleared out and shorts opened. So he gladly lets BTC help him. That entire move filled his bags, cleared the longs, and sewed disbelief which in turn made retail go short and (importantly) keep shorting as the price moved up. The ideal scenario is for him to bring the price right back up to 3 cents with everyone still shorting and still in disbelief? Why? Compare the market last time we were here- we have a massive amount of long positions that were open and that the MM was going to have to absorb, it's like talking against a strong river. At one point he will run out of ammo. Instead he wants to get to 3 cents with the stream having turned direction, he wants to use short liquidations to help him blast though the walls above 3 cents so he doesnt have to do it AND on top of that he also doesnt need to absorb a bunch of longs closing in to his pump. You can see how clearing the futures market leads to a far stronger and healthier position for any asset,
Ok what a head f*K. But to circle back from the start, when you start to understand this you start to see that what drives price in this market right now is not FA based. It's not main net. It's the MM wrecking the futures market in both directions. It's easy pickings.
BTC and ETH are the bellweathers of the market. BTC is the market - if you want to know if your token is underperforming or over performing then compare it to BTC. ETH is the king of the alt market - when ETH shows strength against BTC that signals strength for the Alt market. This is important because so far we've all been dragged up here by BTC and what we're looking for is signs of alt season
Vet is a shit coin (and by that I mean price wise). You see all these other coins moon 100x and think that Vet is a shit coin. It is, it's meant to be. But you need to understand where Vet is in its market cycle compared to all the new coins that are going 100x. Vet had it's 100x moment, it then tanked and underwent an almost 2 year accumulation cycle. That is a huge cycle and you can see the accumulation range very clearly. We broke out of the accumulation range above 0.008 USD and since then Vet has still been a shitcoin. It has frustrated HODLERs and high leveraged traders non stop. But here's the thing. It is meant to act like a shit coin. It is meant to keep shaking off the futures market and driving you crazy until it and the MM is ready. Now what you see as a shit coin is actually a coin with price history, a massive accumulation zone, and a leverage heavy futures market. It's important to understand that because you keep thinking that Vet is a shitcoin yet good traders keep thinking that this is an amazing coin- draw out those weekly and monthly resistance and support lines and you'll see how insanely profitable this coin is to traders. Shitcoin for some, very profitable for others when you dig a little deeper. So where are we at now in the Vet market cycle? Pretty exciting time is the answer. We are just beneath blue skies- an area on the chart where there is no price history. When we enter price discovery that is when traders start to step out- when you lose price history there are no resistance and support lines to work off of anymore. The risk return of trading Vet becomes a lot less attractive, which is why you tend to see price pumping for any asset that hits price discovery range. We've been through an entire market cycle for Vet and we're now back up at price discovery - if you're thinking about selling your Vet now then you have 100% fallen for the MM tricks. If you are on the edge of price discovery yet the MM has shaken you out by bringing you to despair and disbief then he has done exactly what he intends to do. I know it's hard to see other stuff pump so much and Vet always held back but just zoom out and look at that accumulation zone- it's massive. The MM is not selling here I can assure you.
Pumpenomics matter. Narrative and hype matter. Vet has bucketloads of it. I'm sorry for all the adoption maximalists out there (I was one of them) but proper value added adoption has not happened for anything apart from BTC which after ten years finally got it's nod at mainstream adoption post Covid money printer brrrrr. Vet has some interesting things coming up which are going to help the MM pump the price a lot- mainly SURFACE. That is something I'm expecting to see an awful lot mentioned online as the price is pumped. I'm also expecting to see lots of old recycled news get passed around- retail sentiment turns on a dime. They see green candles and then you feed the internet recycled adoption news (none of which need to have actually happened yet), speculation about Surface and the mystery client, and a fair bit of the old rumour mill and suddenly you have a sustainable longer term pump. That's why I'm in to Vet. It has a strong MM and it has tons of pumpenomics which is what retail are going to be feeding off of later on this year. That's how you create FOMO- if you were around for 2017/2018 you know that it's a very proven and simple script. Mom and Pop see Vet is used by Walmart and other household names and they buy, it's a no brainer. It doesnt matter if we're still chugging along with only Walmart, the news will be fed differently to them. Remember 2018, just remember how all it took was a whiff of a partnership and coins went 50% over night.
Finally yes I was banned from the Vechain Reddit. If you're wondering where so many older posters have all disappeared too it's because we were all banned. There have been at least two pretty massive purges on the reddit. The Reddit is run by Cream that much is obvious to pretty much all of us. Dont ask why we've been banned because you will get banned, dont ask for us to be let back on because you will be banned, and dont say anything bad about EHRT and the fact that it's an obvious scam coin that some of the mods there shill as much as they can....because otherwise you will be banned as well.

howdy 'tardettes!

So I have spent the last week looking for potential meme stocks as a personal project, trying specifically to avoid weedstocks or crypto. Again I am not a finance guy just like trying to guess the future and politics. AKA i am a retard. Anyways, as mentioned previously i want a meme stock in a popping/hot to talk about industry with about a year of 'fluff or good news' to prop up the stock price. Then i came across this post
https://old.reddit.com/wallstreetbets/comments/ld8dsi/score_media_and_why_its_a_massive_candidate_for_a/
I am Canadian. I know Score Media and they were one of, if not the biggest sports tv channels before they sold that part of their business to Rogers a couple years ago (Rogers and Bell run our media in Canada) But they kept their website and phone application. Still the go to sports app for ppl in Canada and huge name recognition. I had no idea the gvmt was planning to vote to legalize single wagering sports betting. I know how big this market is as all my friends gamble on sports using bet365 which i think is based in the UK. This is the same gvmt who legalized weed federally and led that change in policy around the world. During Corona when deficits are high and the morale police in society are likely at all time low would Justin Trudeau turn down this source of $$? (also important to note for American friends, he currently has majority gvmt so should be able to pass anything he wants) Then when you find out Penn gaming is invested and this likely has support across the political aisle safe to say after seeing what is happened with DKNG my interest was PIQUED
anyways clearly the cons are that this stock is at a its all time high and i dont want to buy at the top of a pump. that said yolo and i threw $2k on friday. This stock is planning to list on NYSE in the future and the bet is that the law legalizing will pass which I personally believe is a no brainer but will have to do further research.
If this passes, and Penn just straight up buys them out and they list on the NYSE this thing could turn into a huge powerhouse. And, as the degenerate gamblers that we are, dont we really only care about getting into a MEME stock much earlier than the stampede??
Thoughts? Ideas for other MEME stocks? Lets get this hive mind going my tardorinossssss
**Update. To note, i see this play as very similar to the play up to legalization that some of you might remember back with some Canadian licensed producer. Investors are waiting on a vote/change in gvmt policy, the company is primed to take advantage of this new potential regulatory change, there is already a huge market guaranteed, and the TSX/canadian market specifically is used to this play and is uniquely primed to pump one of their own meme stocks (see either any weed LP, or shopify for this example)
**** Update the mods deleted my final update, even though i was just trying to bring some life to this sub and its not like i am some crazy promoter, my sub has 100 ppl lol. Sorry for providing content on your sub and trying to generate some life and take advantage of that opportunity we had after the GME thing went down. Instead, the count has stayed at 2500-2700 for a week with no posts or interesting conversation while others have thrived.

Hey guys, this post is not intended to tell you what to do. I'm not a financial advisor. This isn't my day job. I am not even a day trader. I learned the difference between call and put options like 3 months ago. I don't trade options. I don't even know how yet, to be frank. I recently got an RH account to try to learn how and then this shit blew up. This post is viewable to the general public and is not "insider knowledge". Everything I am about to say, I have gleaned from PUBLICLY ACCESSIBLE DATA. That Hedge funds and other people in the media, the government, and in the general public ALL have access to. This is MORE VISIBLE than even Facebook. Let alone a country club or private "dinner party". Just saying. I am a real person. I am not a bot. I am not trying to screw anyone over. I like the stock I am choosing to gamble my disposable income on and think it will be a good investment regardless of the action over the next few weeks. 💎🙌
I CAN earn it back if I have to. I didn't stake my entire savings. I don't advise people to gamble with money they don't have. Not for financial reasons, solely, but more for mental health reasons.
Bias disclosure: I currently have 1882 shares of AMC at an average price of 9.27$ and I occupied Wall Street for a bit after the financial crisis, mostly on reddit as I was in medical school at the time, and supported occupy the SEC. Please see my post history. It's all there in the top posts. I have nothing to hide as I know I am a valued member of our society, I pay my taxes, I treat mental illness, I follow the law, and I don't normally gamble. This is not about the money for me personally, it's about principle. It's my token of rememberance for the failed actions of our government to hold these types of people accountable for the great recession and the subprime mortgage crisis. Also, WSB just happened to stumble upon these criminal vulture firms, in the act of active company rape and decided to give them a licking. If you were interested in GME and were one of the people on the other side [IE at one of these firms] reading the discussion over at WSB should have been your job as a form of market research. If you missed the warning, it's not Reddit's fault. If you suck at your job, it's not Reddit's fault. I don't see how pinning them in that position was illegal. It wasn't planned, it wasn't private. It developed organically like a movement. It continues to grow. Silencing us will only make it louder. You need to level the playing field and regulate the markets. What they did to defend themselves was illegal. The manipulation of the market and the media was illegal. The restriction of buying was illegal. The algorithmic ladder attacks were illegal. Thus I will hold the line, as I HAVE been since Tuesday. It's been a wild ride and I'm tired of this shitshow. I want to get back to normal investing after this fiasco. It's much better for my sleep.
*So here goes my theoretical question. AGAIN, I AM NOT saying you SHOULD do this. What you do is your call. I am asking if this has been done before or if it even can be done. I'm a n00b. Educate me. I'm trying to learn how the arena works. Like how it really works.
If short ladders by algorithms are being used to artificially deflate the stock price. IE: tanking the price of AMC with low trade volumes that they simply pass amongst themselves. I think yesterday it was 5% buy and hold and 95% sell for AMC but each time with low volumes in a very predictable pattern. (Trey from the link below explained it very well several times better than me.)...
What prevents retail traders from spacing out their purchase orders to 1-10 shares at a time and holding. Wouldn't that be better than just impulse buying 100 shares because you want in and you like the stock? Would it do the same thing as short laddering but in converse? Just curious. Would like to hear your opinions.

I've been watching this channel to learn about AMC action and markets in general and it has been super educational.

*I am not investing in AMC to make a quick buck. I am not a day trader or a pump and dumper. I am doing this because I think AMC will not die from the pandemic, was artificially deflated by vulture hedge funds, almost to the point of bankruptcy, and will NOW be able to pivot into a better business model with fresher screens, Hollywood exclusive releases, fancier theaters, pent up demand, etc., with the new capital and public interest. People LIKE the MOVIES. I grew up in NJ and movie theaters were a HUGE part of my life and many of my most memorable moments occurred at the movies. They make me warm and fuzzy. They have a certain nostalgia for me personally and I like supporting local business when I can. [I know AMC was bought by China, but the staff are all local]. In my opinion GME has an antiquated business model bc I buy games on STEAM and online. AMC was only struggling because of COVID and I don't think that otherwise people would completely stop going to the movies. We Americans LOVE going to the movies. I love going to the movies. That's just my opinion. Don't hate on me for it. I think that the "real value" of AMC is AT LEAST about 10-20$ which is what they were at before 2020 and it wasn't even their peak value. Even if the real value is closer to 5$, according to the arguments of experts, that's just their fucking opinion. It's a different situation now and I don't agree. Is that my right to disagree with them and pick my own stocks? Or can I only bet on what Fox Business tells me to. Or Jim Cramer. As an individual investor, am I free in this country to spend my money how I want on the stock market, or am I not? Am I free to make my own choices about whether to buy a stock or not? At least I think I should be. If I am not, it will solidify my opinion [and the watching world's opinion] that "free market" capitalism is indeed a farce. It will highly depreciate the value of the American dream and my respect for our current government. Which I was Ecstatic about during Election Day. [Disclosure, Bernie/Liz Bro, who voted for Biden and abstained from voting in 2016 due to bitterness about the primaries. Damn you DWS, you know what you did.] We all know the hedge funds sure are free to buy as much stock as they want to. Apparently even to buy stock that doesn't exist. WTF is that? Glad I found out now. Even if I lost 8k by betting it will be 10$ in 2022 rather than 5$ isn't it my CHOICE when to sell? Am I not free to HOLD the damn stock if in my opinion, I'm willing to consider it a tax on sending a giant reddit shaped middle finger into space to these people that rape companies regardless of the consequences to local staff? These parasites who prefer profit to morality and decency? Who sold their souls in the search of...what?...private islands and yachts? Let THIS MOMENT be your Memento Mori, you soulless motherfuckers. If you have any of it left, now is your time to search for it. Your actions will leave behind a husk of an economy and earth if left unchecked. We the Reddit "Retards" stumbled upon our teeth. For the first time the MARKET BITES BACK AND WE ARE NOT LETTING GO. WE ARE MAKING A STAND. FUCK YOU. We all know that the American Citizens will end up footing the bill anyway in taxes when all those people start relying on the government for survival after you motherfuckers artificially drive their employer into bankrupcy. FUCK YOU. You're already taking my money and you know it. I pay 47% in taxes due to my income and living in NYC. FUCK YOU for evading them with offshore accounts you GREEDY FUCKS. I am willing to lose 8k to do that (send you a message) and to rapidly learn about what is going on to manipulate markets. It's also partially the cost of education in my calculus. I have learned more in one week riding this wave, than in 4 years of getting my Economics degree. Either way, my current buy in as at 9.27 so I will hold at least until I make my initial investment back. I am also disclosing that if the stock goes up to 30$ I will likely SELL enough shares to cover half of my position because I am not a degenerate gambler and have been holding the line since Tuesday and it has taken a toll on my sleep and my sanity. I know I might lose some money and this is a crazy roller coaster. I want to get out most of my investment ASAP and then ride the wave to then END with you all. IF it happens. I know it may not. I don't care. The message seems to have been sent. Seems like they received it. But we don't know who will be regulated and how yet. I am tired of this fight. I don't like it. I don't want to do it anymore. But I stayed in for the principle not the principal, and for the people just finding out about this now to still be able to make a choice about what to do before we release them from the HOLD. This is a constantly evolving situation. Will they censor the media from talking about stocks? Why target Reddit? Reddit is LIKE the media. It's not a private chat room. THESE WORDS CAN BE READ BY ANYONE WITH AN INTERNET CONNECTION AND WE ARE AWARE OF THIS. If it falls, and I lose my money, I don't think the government will come in and save me. I don't expect them to. I EXPECT them to let this play out and not SIDE with these assholes. It upsets me that they seem to have decided to save Vulture capitalists. Anyway, despite my fear of posting this question and the associated rant, I really want to know the answer. Has it been done before by Algorithms pushing stocks higher? Is it possible to make a crowdsourced one? Is it legal?
If this gets removed or censored in some way. You have your answer I guess.
facta non verba.
Thanks.

****IMPORTANT ADDENDUM****: I want to add that I was quite revved up when I wrote this and have had some time to reflect. I want to stress that it is not my intention to lay blame or judge any individual person or organization for the current situation [Of stacked odds in the retail investor vs hedge fund battle]. Emotions run high in the stock market. I know this through experience now. I was angry when I wrote this post. [I am leaving it unedited for posterity and since whoever needed to see it already saw it so removing it would be pointless] This should not become a witch hunt or be personal. These guys and girls are people too. They work for a corporation. They earn a paycheck. They have friends, partners, and families too. I am a person. You, reader, are a person. Don't make this personal. They didn't invent algorithms and weren't the ones that necessarily wanted to take these short positions. The market calculus at the time, dictated that this was a good call for them, it wasn't. We accidentally stumbled upon it on WSB and shit-posted about it until it blew up and they were really in a bind. I understand their calculus to a degree, but I am a "smooth brained" "retard" when it comes to these things. I am learning fast though. I understand that certain companies are likely to fail and it is possible to make a profit off that. My moral views about it are irrelevant as the situation they're in dictates their actions, not my personal views about that. I understand that they're getting screwed at the moment and I'm sorry. I truly hope most of them do not get too damaged by this and have had time to change their positions. But I also believe in the American dream, and think that the people that were able to find a good position in the stock market [the retail investors] should be rewarded. I sincerely hope this doesn't trigger a massive systemic issue and we don't accidentally BREAK the stock market with this action on those stocks. It doesn't seem like that would happen, but again smooth brain here. WE NEED THE MARKET TO STAY ALIVE to have peace and stability in this country. Reddit crew, I beseech you, please understand that the individuals involved are also playing by the rules given to them by the market. The problem I personally have is that the rules are different for the retail investors vs. the big institutions. I don't have a problem with them as people. I don't want to destroy anything or any institutions. That was never my goal as an activist nor as an investor-activist and I can only speak about myself. I just hope they could find it in their hearts to try to understand our outrage and consider playing by the rules or at least letting us play by the same rules. We are attacking them and they don't like it. I get it. In either case, please understand that I am not vested too strongly in either outcome anymore. I am tired and want to return to my regular life and will not be on reddit for a while, nor will I be investing any more money into the stock market for a while... The whole thing has taken it's toll on me and I am going back to my regular life. This is not my war.
On the government's side, I also understand that their goal is to enforce the rules. I hope I'm not breaking any here and will remove my posts if I am. I am not trying to cause a revolution. This country has been through too much and we finally have a shot at beating COVID and have a competent administration that can guide us back on the right track. I truly believe that the people in charge now are decent people and will do good for this country. If Biden says no more diamond hands, I will listen to Biden. What I do further with my shares shall remain my business otherwise. I will no longer tell anyone what I am doing with my shares. I realize now that this is not always a good idea and should be done with tact and experience. I am not a financial advisor. But also, financial advice and being one is not a joke. I realize this now. MEMEing about stocks is like MEMEing about drinking bleach. People might listen to you and sacrifice their lives on a losing battle. Not everyone knows the stakes and not everyone knows what they're doing. Now that this is blowing up, people can get really hurt financially. Reddit, we could be putting people in danger. I see this now. So you all, too, reading this, PLEASE be careful. About investing and about what you say on social media. INVEST but INVEST RESPONSIBLY and not with money you can not bear to lose. I pledge that I will personally no longer post any inflammatory shit on Reddit. Because now I'm afraid that WE are suddenly some form of weird market makers and I don't have as many lawyers as the hedge funds. I am tapping out from posting any more about the current battle. I wish you all luck on both sides, truly. In the next round tomorrow.
Dear Government: If you want this to end, don't you have the power to delist these "Meme" companies and distribute the shares somehow? If not, the the system is truly stronger than our institutions. If you do this, please make sure people don't lose their life savings somehow. That would be nice. Then, please try to make sure this won't happen again and that the SEC actually regulates and prosecutes people so their calculus isn't that the fines are too low to justify following the rules. [Just my humble opinion as a smooth brain with limited experience of markets. Do what you think is best and I will obey the laws as an individual]. Sorry you might disagree hedge fund guys and girls, but I am entitle to my opinion in a free country. This is my platform. You can have CNN and Fox News. Sorry for saying something. I promise this is the end of it. But also, a lot of market makers on TV seem to assert that the market will self correct and I don't see how this should be a large risk for overall wealth. Who knows, none of us can predict the future. But I think if a bunch of Reddit "retards" get a couple hundred thousand bucks, it won't change the overall situation or necessarily be a net negative; and may in fact trigger a renaissance in this country. You'll still be the biggest fish, just in a more biodiverse pond. It may just create a new class of petite bourgeoise in this country. But it is not likely that if they win, it will cause something like the French Revolution. There will be losers and winners, but in the end, it will be a good story for Hollywood. [Hopefully played on an AMC screen in a post covid world] But what do I know, I'm a just another "retard" on reddit.
I hope that after this, you are all decent humans at the end and don't break any law on all sides. [Reddit, Retail investors, Government, Hedge fund investors, etc] I hope we don't break the market over this. If that is a true risk we need to make the market unbreakable or this WILL keep happening. If anyone is resentful about losing future gains on a good position so the government can fix the market, don't be a fucking greedy idiot and look at what we've achieved so far. This is already a big win for the small guy. And if our markets are vulnerable, the next winners will not be idiots on reddit. But will likely be our enemies from abroad. Not to name names. We will ALL benefit more from long term stability than short term gains. We MUST come together as a country so we can spend that money in the future for things. If we break the stock market, we will not be able to buy things with all that worthless money. But if the system isn't at risk, I don't understand what all the hullabaloo is about. There have been countless bubbles before. Why weren't those regulated as much. Maybe they were and I'm an ignorant smooth brain. In any case, I hope that we can stop fighting over carcasses for greed. This was always about making the rules of the casino fair for me, personally. It's not life or death. I'm not an extremist or an ideologue. It's not about burning down the casino. I hope that the government will intervene if they think it is going to short circuit the whole thing and that people reading this gamble responsibly.
This will be my last post about this as I have a life to live.
-Tememachine OUT.

EDIT 2: Now they're making fun of the movement. Fuck Wall Street. I hope they get what's coming to them one day. [In terms of regulation and prison sentences] I'm still out of this war. But seriously. Fuck them.

I've said for years that I wanted this sub to be like WSB, and sadly you retards managed to turn it into WSB at the worst possible time: when WSB's community got overrun and moved away from hilarious memes and loss porn from degenerate gamblers who had some ideas of the market, and over to social justice against hedge funds and public P&D battlecry shilling.
The recent post for Nano on CoinBase/Gemini was straight up brigading. Crossposting every single AltStreetBets/SatoshiStreetBets Nano-related posts is little more than brigading. It was different with CC when someone from there would make a Nano-related post, it'd get crossposted here, and people would just discuss it in a top-level comment in that thread. This is now people complaining that AltStreetBets removed Nano posts after "the entire front page was covered with them."
If people are shilling there so hard that the entire front page is nothing but Nano posts, they're doing something wrong.
In response and for the near future, I'll be removing any submissions related to the following:

Cross-posting to AltStreetBets/SatoshiStreetBets. Stop strangling the golden goose before you get us all banned there -- go strangle your golden goose instead and chill out.
Comparing Nano to GME in any way. GME is little more than a P&D where the dump has a forced buyer (overcommitted shorts). Nano isn't even related to that in any way. We're not a P&D and we have no forced buyers.
Rallying that buying into Nano is somehow fighting against Hedge Funds. It isn't, by any stretch of the imagination, and I know you all would be jumping in joy if a HF suddenly showed up tomorrow and bought in millions worth of Nano. Most of you don't even know what an HF is, just that HF = rich = eat the rich.

I (unfortunately) can't stop WSB's decline into a social justice movement, but I'd rather go back to 3 posts a day here about symmetric triangles with 1 point of contact somehow being bullish than what's been here recently.

EVRI: The True Autists Gambling Ticker
Alright dipshits, I believe I have found a ticker that has huge growth potential over the next few months that is under the radar of many. So prepare your smooth brains and tell your wife's boyfriend to leave the room so you can jerk off to these potential gains.
EVRI is Everi Holdings Inc. Don’t know what that is? They’re only “the casino industry’s only single source provider of robust payments solutions, vital intelligence offerings, and engaging gaming machines that power the casino floor” according to Casino Vendors
(Source: http://www.casinovendors.com/vendoeveri-holdings-inc/)
Now if that doesn’t make your wife’s boyfriend cream his jeans, then the following information might just make your dick hard enough to satisfy your displeasured wife. I think that EVRI could see huge growth for the following reasons
EVRI has the versatility both online and on the floor for casinos
Taking a look at this source (http://www.casinovendors.com/vendoeveri-holdings-inc/) you can see that there products and services include…

Gaming equipment and supplies: “Everi Games feature exciting original concepts, dynamic artwork, and thrilling game play that are designed to stop patrons in their tracks. Players seek out Everi’s award-winning games, cabinets, and toppers, and stream into casinos to play TournEvent® and TournEvent of Champions®”
Cash/Chips/Money/Money Handling Equipment: “CashClub® gives operators an easy-to-use single dashboard interface that streamlines check warranties and credit/debit card transaction processing. The software’s enhanced features include electronic signature capture and dynamic currency conversion. CashClub interfaces with Everi Compliance, which helps casinos meet Title 31 requirements. CashClub works with a casino operator’s existing cage workstation equipment, removing the need for a separate stand-alone terminal.”

“CentralCredit™ - The industry’s leading repository for casino-related credit data and reporting. QuikMarketing™ - This tool lays the foundation for highly targeted, cost-effective, and successful direct marketing campaigns.”
and… “Intuitive, flexible & designed Kiosks to provide a premium experience to patrons.”

Administration and Finance: “Everi Compliance™ has new and innovative compliance products expanding our ability to service patrons and casino customers. Our compliance products are the gold standard for Anti-Money Laundering (AML) compliance across the gaming industry, which allows operators to easily meet Title 31 regulatory requirements.”

To see even more versatility and see what more specific services they provide, click this link https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/EVRI/profile?p=EVRI
Based off of these services alone, any one of you extra-chromosomes gamblers can see why EVRI is able to make money both online and on the floor, physical casinos. They make online gambling games, provide systems to protect casinos, design on the floor games, have products to transfer money in and out of debit/credit cards at the casino to feed the gambler, and even have business in reporting casino data and marketing campaigns. IF THIS ISN'T A COMPANY THAT DOESN'T DO EVERYTHING THEN IDK WHAT TO TELL YOUR SMOOTH BRAIN. They are immune to COVID and can be profitable with/without it.
EVRI has great target prices from analysts and even has potential news coming up that can propel us Valhalla
https://www.casino.org/news/everi-soars-on-digital-wallet-deal-with-winstar-casino/
“But Roth Capital analyst David Bain previously said two agreements with tribal operators notched by Everi account for 15 percent of the company’s fintech business and were going overlooked by investors.” This made the price target shift from $20 to $21 for this guy.
This same article said this about David Bain as well “Today’s surge by Everi stock may not be a one-off event. Bain, the Roth Capital analyst, says another customer will roll out CashClub Wallet in the coming weeks. He didn’t identify that operator, but he did say it’s one of the largest casino firms in the world. The analyst adds that on a standalone basis, Everi’s fintech basis is worth $16 a share. When accounting for peer average multiples on gaming device suppliers, the stock could trade near $29, or more than double where it resides today.”
I know some you have a hard time reading, but that means we could see news of EVRI’s own product (CashClub) be announced to be integrated in one of the largest casinos companies in the world. If that doesn’t scream PUMP, I don't know what does
EVRI also has fantastic news of expanding, incorporating, and even being recognized as the best in their field

EVRI’s option chain are cheap for long dated calls
Because I am writing this after hours, the options chain will most likely change come market open, but keep in mind, they will still be cheap.
Looking at January 20c and March 22.5c, they are .18 with a .05-.3 bid/spread and .2-.25.
Yeah yeah yeah, I know what you’re thinking “oH tHE BiD aSK SpREad is TOO wIdE”. But if you guys seriously think the bid/ask spread is what has limited your autistic trades up to this point, then you’re just lying to yourself. Get your order filled, because were making fucking tendies.
THE MEME POTENTIAL OF THIS STOCK IS PERFECT FOR US RETARDS
Is there anything that is more ironic than a bunch of degenerate gamblers gambling on a gambling company that is so revered in the gambling industry that it’s not even a gamble? FUCK NO THERE’S NOT.
WE ARE MADE FOR THIS TICKER, AND AS AUTISTS AND GAMBLERS WE NEED THIS PLAY. As many of you know, once a ticker catches fire in this sub it gets HUGE coverage. Look for yourselves at the countless memes and videos of WSB getting coverage on Cramers shows and news outlets. MEMES MEAN MORE ADVERTISING, MEANS MORE PUMPS, MEANS MORE TENDIES, WHICH MEANS MORE MONEY FOR DICK PUMPS.
I rest my case.
TLDR; EVRi is a fucking powerhouse in the online/in-person gambling/casino world. They have lots of news going for them along with having cheap calls, a well run business with great price targets, good price action movement, and most importantly infinite meme potential

Dear Member,
Hello fellow degenerate gambler! May I introduce you to the Pretty Decent Crew's newsletter for the trading week ending on February 12th? We hope that this email finds you well and not dead from the Meme Stonk War of 2021.
Compared to the last few weeks, we have a relatively boring week coming up. Our primary goal is to move our assets into areas that will produce steady gains. I have two focuses with this.

Use the current situation to optimize gains through high risk and volatile stocks that could shoot us in the foot.
Acquire holdings that will let us cash in on the technological transition over the coming years
I know, it was intended to be two, but let's be real. We are definitely going to hold out buying power for options on the Disney earnings report!

My first thoughts here are that our situation doesn't allow for high quality options trading given that there are huge transitions occurring within the retail investor. We have a horde of idiots moving on from GME, AMC, BB, and NOK. They have no idea what to do other than go back on the Palantir train. With these things in mind, we're going to make a couple safer plays this week and minimize new options.
Worth noting, but not detailed this week is a movement of long holding funds into ARK related ETFs (including PRNT). After reading through ARK's Big Idea's 2021, I truly believe their ETFs are going to obliterate the S&P over the coming 6-12 months. This is heavily dependent upon how much innovation occurs and is facilitated by the government. If the current trend continues, they're going to average well over 20% this year due to the needs of companies moving into new sectors of technology. I don't know which will be the most notable; so, I've chosen to hold all of their assets.

DIS (The Mouse)
- It's time to bet the house on The Mouse. With earnings coming up after hours Thursday 2/11, they're going to continue their pop they've been showing over the previous week. It's VERY tough to tell where they're going to end the week, but this is a prime opportunity to do some quality percentage gains on OTM calls. If you're looking at high premiums, make sure you're careful to play the higher traffic options so that you don't get burned. I'll personally recommend steering clear of the $200 number unless you're willing to risk it all. Disney clearing the $200 mark this week would be massive. The lower premium makes it enticing, but it won't happen unless their subscriber numbers are through the roof. For me, I'm shooting for $190 in hopes of getting a quality OTM to ITM transition and then dumping it at open on Friday.
CVS (You know you want to do it...)
- WIth earnings coming up 2/16, they're expected to crush the estimated earnings. The problem here is of course: "are the earnings already priced in?" You know what? Maybe they are, maybe they aren't. CVS fluctuated over $2.50 in price over the last week alone ($71.50 - $74.00). I'm going to dig deep and hit the $75C for 2/19 in hopes of a solid outcome on earnings. Will this happen? I'm going to say yes, BUT I wouldn't expect it to hold. Both Walgreens and CVS stock have been more volatile than usual given the hopes they receive approval as vaccine distribution locations. I'm going to hold the calls in hopes of a solid pop and then dump them all when there are high hopes of a solid close on 2/19.
MARA + RIOT
- I'm going to double down on these two because of the general adaptation occurring throughout large corporations. There is no reason to think this will die off. The limited supply of BTC and "the halvening" that occurred in the last year will also contribute to a continued rise in BTC demand.
- According to ARK, if companies move ONLY 1% of their free cash into BTC, it will rise by $40,000. Now this is a long stretch, but if they moved to 10% of free cash into BTC, it would jump by $400,000. This seems unrealistic right now, but 1% is absolutely possible. Multiple companies including Square have already adopted this concept with great success.
  - https://www.cnbc.com/2020/10/08/square-buys-50-million-in-bitcoin-says-cryptocurrency-aligns-with-companys-purpose.html
- MARA is successfully moving up this week towards new ATHs. Cryptocurrency will likely continue to rise over the coming year. The play here is obviously not short term returns. The play is holding a company that will be worth 2-3x in the coming years.
- RIOT is now right back on track with its three month moving average. The volatility here is inevitable given the movements in BTC and associated blockchain infrastructure.
CCIV
- CCIV crushed last week and I'm going to double down on this too because Lucid and CCIV refuse to acknowledge or deny the rumors of their mergeacquisition. If I were a gambling man (I am), I would hold a small stake of CCIV shares as I hold deep OTM calls with a heavy Theta. At a $50 strike, you will pay 10% extra for the 8/20 calls over the May calls. May could be a tight race to guarantee the acquisition is occurring. August gives us a strong theta and will allow it to grow.

Sincerely,
Lehman Brothers' Risk Management Department
p.s. Mouse is in the house.

- According to ARK, if companies move ONLY 1% of their free cash into Voldemort, it will rise by $40,000. Now this is a long stretch, but if they moved to 10% of free cash into Voldemort, it would jump by $400,000. This seems unrealistic right now, but 1% is absolutely possible.

Background: I have been a member of /wallstreetbets for many, many years (like 5 or so?). I remember the Quebecian autist, that's how long I've been on the sub. I was very briefly a moderator on /wallstreetbets and have been a mod of /wsb for years.
Current situation: Jartek's actions aren't just against Reddit rules. If even some of the accusations against him are correct, he's violated SEC regulations and there could be legal actions. I have had zero interactions with Jartek except for this interaction where I warned him his actions may be illegal. Unfortunately because the sub is private I can't show you my original comment, but it was basically, "If any of this is true you should stop immediately because you're playing with fire."
I have had zero interactions with Jartek outside of this, but it has become clear that these subs are veering from their original function as a place to make stupid memes and make fun of stupid degenerate gamblers into a platform to shill some stupid product (idk what it even is, I'm too old to understand your stupid esports shit).
However, as someone with professional experience in the financial industry, I can confidently say that the entire subreddit /wallstreetbets has become a dangerous place that has gone from entertainment into illegal territory. Use at your own risk and be very clear that no one in the subreddit has a fiduciary responsibility to you and its moderates may be propagating lies and actively engaging in fraud.
That is all.

I just ran across this article from everyone's favorite trashy celebrity news site The Sun.

I know we all here are degenerate Wall St. gamblers, but if you had to bet in a celebrity boxing match between Captain Sparrow vs Elon Mollusk who would you bet on?
I personally have my money on Elon, simply because Depp is a washed up piece of shit now. In Depp's heyday he would have probably swashbuckled the ever living fuck out of Elon, or slipped some sunshine acid in his drink before the match.
We need to meme this fight into existence, Depp could use the opportunity to pull himself out of whatever hellhole mess he's fallen into and focus on training and getting back into shape with Tyrone and constantly SHORTing TESLA in the process. It also gives Elon a chance for even more entertaining PR to build upon his already GODLIKE status by asserting dominance and defeating GEN X's alpha fucc boi Edward Scissordick.

Like most of you, I too am a degenerate gambler. I started gambling at 3 yo playing UNO for $$ with my grandparents. I can't even begin to count the losses at Indian casinos and LV. In late 2019 I decided to learn the stock market and make it my mission to conquer it. This thread makes my day, every single day. The autism level is here is second to none, yet some very solid DD comes from here too. I hope one day to make the tendies that the true autists are making. I will be joining you in your quest to make mega tendies. Without further ado, here are the top 10 things I have learned so far.

Bears are gay.
Stonks only go up.
Bears are gay.
Daddy Musk is our God.

SPY calls literally can't go tits up.
Bears are gay.
Hands down, WSB has the best memes.

Drinking Corona can kill you.
