    Prices are certain stocks, eg AMC started tanking from 1 minute past the close yesterday, when most retail traders couldn't trade - seems dodgy to me, could that itself be some kind of market manipulation, mass selling immediately in after hours? Trying to scare off people when the markets re-open?

    The short positions have been closed out as the Variation margin would be crazy and that alone would cost the hedge funds.

    They don't want to scare off people they want them to keep pumping the stock as they will make a fortune out of it in the end.

    Everyone thinks they are giving two fingers up to the hedge funds when in reality it is the hedge funds that are manipulating the market getting ready to teach people a lesson and make a tasty profit in the process.

    I am going to suggest that we have a separate topic for the Shorting phenomena, and leave the Share Picks 2021 for the normal run of the mill stuff, might make it easier to follow both.

    Feel free to ignore my suggestion of course

    Frankfurt GME doesn't hold the same shorts as NYSE, that is just organic growth, I'd be double checking what exactly you're invested in there.

    Up 723% since last week so dont think there is any issue , if you are just buying normal shares. The market arbitragers will take advantage of differences between exchanges so the price will be relatively reflective surely ?

    Internet connections have just become fast enough to download everything, so why have the middleman and with cloud gaming you don't even need to download the game.

    The thinking is that internet speeds in a lot of the US are pretty slow, and the size of games is increasing in the new generation of consoles. If that's the case, there may still be a future for them.

    Agreed, it'll blow over in a couple of days. Saves flitting between two different threads.

    Yesterday I added more to my position in ANVS, anything in the 9 dollar range or under I'll be gobbling up more.

    Not always a correct thing to do but human nature makes us look for comparison, $SAVA, another biotech about 9 months ahead of ANVS in terms of trials for Alzheimer drugs (Phase 2a completed, the stage ANVS will be presenting results on this quarter) is valued at 700 million dollars.

    ANVS is 70 million currently :cool:

    I believe there is a deal with MS anyway that Gamsetop get a percentage of console sales even if bought directly from Microsoft. Not sure what the end game is, but sounds ludicrous from Microsofts point of view.

    I may be wrong on the details, but here's the press release

    https://news.microsoft.com/2020/10/08/gamestop-announces-multiyear-strategic-partnership-with-microsoft/

    Gamestop are an excellent brand name in an ever growing market and are still a number 1 go to for new games on disc as well as new consoles.

    They also have a huge database of customer analytics and subscribers which Ryan Cohen loves from his experience at Chewy.

    The strategy is to close unprofitable stores, create a more customer friendly service online, and to expand the product range to include PC gaming items (monitors, graphics cards) as well as e-sports focused items. They are in a good position with the brand name, locations, and customer analytics they have to reposition themselves.

    The agreement with Microsoft is also an excellent revenue generating scheme.

    I'll happily eat my hat if I'm wrong but NOK has too many shares available for a short squeeze to work I think.

    It's already had a higher short interest than AMC.

    I hold NOK but that's a concern. It's already a $40bn company, can it really go up 200/400% like the others?

    How do Gamestop and AMC benefit, do they get a percentage even if people sell their shares and it crashes?

    I actually think AMC shares will bounce back in the future anyway, whenever 'normal' resumes, could be like 5 years time to be fully back. I think people will want to go back to the simple times when we could go to the cinema.
    I was looking at the 5 year graph though, and even before corona their shares were going down a lot year on year, I'm not sure why

    Netflix.

    Why would people go to the cinema when they can watch better content from the comfort of their own home.

    Tempted to jump into ARB, I feel that has a lot more to climb once all this WSB/hedge fund war has subsided. The new ARK Invest pdf should point towards their thoughts on bitcoin.

    Depends on the strength of Hollywood not the consumer.

    I personally love the cinema but I know that's not shared by everyone. Would still go see an epic type movie in the cinema if it was available on Netflix day 1.

    I personally think people will want to go when things are normal, having had enough sitting at home watching netflix for a lifetime - more social aspect to the cinema, snacks, a day out, a place to go etc. A lot of people still loved the cinema in the last few years.

    I miss the cinema, and I can't wait until I can go back. I think when this is over people will be looking for things to do to get OUT of the house.

    The cinema is an experience, people will always pay money for an experience , how many people have video or audio quality at home that can match the cinema. There is something special about being in the cinema for a big release and hearing the audience gasp, scream or hold their breath that will never be replicated at home.

    Even netflix , prime, disney want the cinema to live on.

    You could ask why would people go to the Theatre to see a comedian when his show is on netflix yet people will hand over €100 for a ticket.

    My local cinema (Mahon Cork) was busier than ever the last few years.

    Cinemas have been dying the past 5 years, most Saturday nights you go to my local cinema (Omni Dublin), there's at most 10/20 people. That was long before Covid. Even at that the only thing drawing a crowd is XMen 13 or Avengers 24.

    I love going to the epics too, but these days, if you're idle for a Saturday night (even pre covid), you're going to find as much quality on Netflix as you are in a Cinema. All the big actors are there, all the big movies are now going direct to consumer, it's slowly cutting out the middle man.

    That said, in the irrational world we live in this week, Long AMC!!!

    There was a decent analysis of Nokia on WSB the other day and it basically summed it up - Decent share, Decent prospects, Doing well in a market with other players also doing well, if buying as a share you will be holding for a while if you expect any major profit. Dont buy the hype .

    CCIV down to $19.12 in premarket, am tempted depending on what it does on market open of course, I think it may dip further then, worth taking a punt?

    To "protect" retail investors, Trading212 are blocking any new positions in GME.
    Very disappointing, gonna vote with my feet after this.

    I'm looking to take another position in Disney but i'm expecting another big drop in the next couple of months in the market, I don't see how things have improved since last year if anything they're looking worse.
    I've a few of american companies on my watch list involved in property, leasing etc which have been flying along as if everthing is ok, they've started to wobble a little over the last few days which has me concerned. Main Street Capital, Dynex, Realty income etc.

    Frankfurt exchange surging on GME - gone from below €300 to €360 in the last hour

    I am reading my ticker saying 1000% profit now and thinking , we may never see this again for 10-20 years for retail investors.

    Update nearly €400 now !
