    I would assume they are going to bring in rules so this won't happen again/or people will stop shorting? I think the stock market will recover, maybe in a few weeks or months


    Stop what exactly? If a hedge fund or a group of them had done this nobody would have batted an eyelid. The only reason there's such a fuss is because its not the traditional institutions involved and they don't like the disruption its causing and especially hate it when they are beaten at their own game by people they don't think should be allowed play in the first place. Yes it will make things a bit rocky for a while but people will learn to adapt just like we all have in this last year.

    Could the short sellers of GME not double up on their shorts at the high share price. Risky I know, but they could trade their way out of this.

    AMC dropping like a stone after hours.

    I'm down % on anything that's not in the crazy runs, I'm just going to hold on to these until things settle down as there's nothing reliable to reference against. I looked at Koss yesterday and couldn't figure out what the rise was about and then today it just took off. Missed it but it's not normal trading at the minute so whatevs.

    I'm down a bit across the board, don't care though, I'd take a loss to hurt the short sellers and really damage hedgefunds

    Why?

    What have you against them?

    I really don't understand this stance that some people have.

    i cant see them stop shorting but they might try and stop people buy call options they may not be able to afford..guessing though. aparently there looking to see if there was manuplation applied on the chat boards

    You mean people buying call options on margin?

    Can't see why they would stop call options buyers....their only risk is the premium they put up.

    As retail traders we generally get screwed by their pump and dump/short schemes. Tesla was a big stock that they messed with for a long time, whilst retail traders done their DD on the company and believed they were worth investing in. They roll out their face people onto finance shows, finance blogs or whatever and push their agenda.


    They have an unfair edge in having access to things like after hours trading (I believe these are large trades only) and deals with brokers for short sells, which is generally damaging to the market and even the companies they do it with.

    I should have been clearer, everything I own has gone down in after hours!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 634 ✭✭✭Corcaigh84


    Right, I hate to admit it but I decided to have some craic last Friday with some spare cash and between then and Monday got in for a tiny 10 GME shares at $41 and $93 respectively, on my Revolut account.

    I am still hodling. My question is, if the share price rockets even more lets say by Friday evening, is it possible to sell my shares on the After hours market, or can I only sell when the market is open?

    Google stock prices or the Apple stock app has them also.

    Google has them shown as a grey line.

    you can only sell after hours if you have a holding in excess of $50000

    well thats the case with Saxo anyway

    add to that , you have to phone the broker , you can execute online ( or at least cant with SAXO afterhours )

    Does NAKD have the potential to explode? Has is been highly shorted? I am a complete noob, tried to make a Degiro account to buy some before close but I was too late (not on revolut)

    The sale will only go through when the market opens.

    So maybe somebody can correct my thinking on this if I'm wrong

    GME is all about there being 140% of float being shorted, with this due by Friday(end Jan).

    This means People buy up shares in the expectation that shorters need to buy back shares in near future. This drives up price.

    This share demand ends once shorters covered their position.

    Shares end up back in the hands of the folks who lent out the stock in the first place.

    So what happens price at this point?
    Stays high...doubt it...stocks not worth it
    Drops back to earlier price? Likely as that's all it's worth.
    Something else...?

    So are people then lining up spread betting to short this come friday/Monday?

    Its going to nose dive as soon as there are no buyers left. Redditors are just small fish , the big fish will know exactly when to dump them on Friday. Once they do its all going to come crashing down.

    And the big question is will all the trading sites crash again while the price plummets?

    Yup, very likely but its gonna happen so quickly that even if they didnt crash getting out in time before it bottoms out will be very difficult


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,356 ✭✭✭buyer95


    So much red. Remember what Warren told us lads 'time in the market beats timing the market.' (Says the eejit who got caught up in the GME madness, and somehow got out ahead)

    GME went to 249 shortly after open, no one could buy as everything was down. It went up to 300+ immediately and never fell below that again.

    The apps will crash at open for 30-60 mins.
