    Of course GME is tanking they just locked out huge amount of investors and only allowed them to sell.

    I hedged earlier today so will be coming out ahead , but i will hold to the bitter end at this stage.

    This is market manipulation, not allowing the retailer to buy, or even to get out of a position at the moment.

    Surely the platforms can't halt trading on GME/AMC etc indefinitely. I think there is a strong argument to not panic and see what happens over the coming days.

    If the shorts get out though there won't be a need for anyone to buy anymore.

    I’d go further and suggest they are trying to induce a massive sell off - manipulation or sowing seeds of fear to their advantage.

    It’s very strange that you can’t purchase a share but then again maybe they don’t have them to sell.

    Another halt at 264.

    AMC recovering


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,806 ✭✭✭SleetAndSnow


    AMC back up to 9.20

    I'm a rabid capitalist but what happened today is an eye opener that the market is rigged.

    Still believe it's the calm before the storm and it will all come to a head tomorrow afternoon which should lead to the actual squeeze we are hearing so much about.

    You can't win at this pump and dump stuff. At the end of the day, you can only be up by taking money from someone else trying to do exactly the same thing. I think longterm, value investing is the only way to go. Boring I know, but its the only way to make a return.

    I've heard you say many times that you're better than no one
    And no one is better than you
    If you really believe that you know you have nothing to win
    And nothing to lose

    If the shorts get out though there won't be a need for anyone to buy anymore.

    I was wondering about this - how do you know if a short gets out ? Is it just based on what the reported % of short interest in the shares are as of end of day / reporting period?

    When I did a basic stock screener based on short interest I filtered by those 40+% shorted. Think there were only 7 or 8 (US markets only). GME was around 89%.

    Edit - short interest is as of 15 Jan, not sure how often it’s updated on my trading account.

    It's working intermittently for me.

    GME approaching the 250 mark.

    Well you can't win when the trading apps stop people purchasing the shares. You can't have an efficient market when only one side is allowed trade.

    Panic selling happening here and stock being dumped. 230$ down in 1.5 hours.


  • Administrators Posts: 56,223 Admin ✭✭✭✭✭awec


    237, another halt.

    I had cancelled my 250 limit order thankfully. Not sure what to do now tbh.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,390 ✭✭✭dan786


    NAKD climbing again


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,880 ✭✭✭TimeToShine


    Robinhood IPO is dead, they really shafted themselves.

    If it was me I would hang tough, WSB is out of action at the moment also. That went down last night and the stock plummeted in after hours. Depends how big you are in I guess.

    It’s a total pain as if you come out you may never be able to go back in. Decision time.
