That’s why wsb silver and GME super stonk exist. They’re all in on MAGA

3x leverage calls on GME

I mean GME was first of its kind, literally a worldwide media event

SlyJoker97

GME, the fact they had a trade anything day tells me all I need to know

m3x1c4n7

Pretty small potatoes your taking about here. I would frame it this way... that money you lost was your education about investing. You can now take that money and put it into something better that your more educated about. I guarantee that letting go of those shitty assets will be a huge weight of your shoulders that you never have to look at again. My "education" was GME embarrassingly enough. In the end I came out of it pretty unscathed as I only had a few hundred in it and sold at close to a break even point (I've kept 1 stock for fun). Thinking about it now, I'm pretty embarrassed to have been involved in a meme stock, but also happy that it was what got me motivated to learn more about investing and what not to do. I'm doing pretty well now with a decently sized portfolio that's beating the market average. I've still made a few small mistakes along the way and might make a few more, but I know how to take risk now and what are scams.

Lmao. I started with $9900 in 2020 myself, went down to $4800 within a year (yes the GME play was a big factor), made my way back up to $6500 then pulled my money out and took a break for a few years. I gave it another shot in August of 2024 with that $6500. As of today, im up 120%. Three things I’ve learned: 1. Time in the market beats timing the market every single time 2. Theres always another play 3. It is never too late to invest

Jealous-Boat-6847

Same. GME and AMC made me understand what pump & dump really means in real life. Still, I learned a lot about investing, technical analysis, and the importance of fundamentals. An expensive lesson 😅

Study_Queasy

I am not a trader. However, I have tried to "swing trade" a few times. I watch youtube videos of many folks, and read up about it on the internet to see if what they say has any basis, and then take my chances. When I heard the PLTR was getting into S&P, I upped my position by >200% and it went well. Something that I will never forget is GME trade. Burry's Game Stop (GME) buy had made a lot of noise. Fortunately for all of us, when the 13F came out (which is usually after 3 months of the trade transaction), GME was still at $2.5. I bought an insane number of them. Later, I was in the process of moving my account from Etrade to TD Ameritrade. Etrade guy told me that they do not give you cost basis so I better store them before moving the stocks. He said that they are forced to give the cost basis if I liquidate the assets. To make life simple, I liquidated the whole thing before moving my account. I forgot to buy back GME after moving to TD Ameritrade, and it squeezed to $350 at one point in time. What was even more disappointing was bitcoin investment (so this is not exactly a trade example). I was going to buy a ton of BTC in 2013 and had called coinbase about it. At that time, the process was so painful just to open an account with them, that out of laziness, I did not open the account. I still bought some in 2017 but not nearly as how much I was planning on buying in 2013. Trading and investment needs a lot of discipline and the inner resolve on following the plan no matter how hard it gets. That has been my lesson. Not only have I made a mistake once, I have made the same mistake multiple times. I guess I was am dumb that I don't even learn from a single mistake but have to make it multiple times to learn the lesson.

Emotional-Breath-838

The same way Robinhood hid the $GME buy button way back in the day, Schwab has now decided that many stocks would be better purchased by making people call in to speak to someone.

The pre GME days were truely something special

wexlaxx

Let’s make believe that MOASS is real and happens, RC’s pay structure is literally a dilution mechanism that would immediately stop any sort of squeeze. Five years and how many failed pivots/terrible ideas later, GME has flatlined and righteously so. RC can’t even figure out what to buy with the cash he snaked from retail. Lastly, I can read and learn at the same time so I understood what sunk cost fallacy was and didn’t throw good money after bad out on this dumpster pile. Have fun in Computershare when volatility hits and you can’t log in/execute orders. Like what happened to me when Kitty pumped and RC dumped Gme in 2024 and I tried to exit but good old Computershare wouldn’t let me log in/dump this bag.

3pinripper

RYCEY was being pushed heavily on all the investing subs a few years ago. Reddit is by far the best place I’ve discovered stocks that have subsequently made huge gains. RKLB, ASTS, PLTR, GME, etc. Lots of crap gets pushed too, but look at the best performers for the year and they’re always discussed in advance here

Ok-Grapefruit-9471

There are two angles here the obvious one is the squeeze potential, this hinges on who the insiders are .... the argument/clear impression is that the insider holds are long and we consider them locked up. We are of the strong impression that the Vladimir and Angelica Galkin who now own over 20% (4288888 shares according to the last 13d/a earlier this week) are benevolent towards retail they have bought at over 100 and 90 on the last big spike. If they just wanted a cheap acquisition they would just let it tank and buy up then. Their investment history supports this too (had 2% of GME way back during the main event). VG is also active on STwits. it has had several squeezes since the Galkins started buying up the shares last July but at that time there were still several more million shares not owned by them, in November it was still several hundred thousand shares, but now we are in tens of thousands. We know there are many more shares than the float in circulation (last institutional holds were 350k) and there are 3 retail longs that we know have over 100k shares as they've disclosed positions. I appreciate this is all meaningless without a trigger/ catalyst for the squeeze. There are the last set of options due for expiry next week. If some or all of these are in benevolent hands then MMs could be trying to find shares that arguably are just rehypothecated shorts. This could exert pressure that starts everything unfolding. Alternatively we come to a second possible catalyst. That is going from a shitty loss making company to profitable/growth. Since financials were reported last (annual reporting) They have paid off their debts, they have developed a number of business channels and it looks like they are growing not shrinking (shein, BTC payments, and are releasing their own AR PC gaming experience, not to mention ..selling Nvida chips ... I'm Asian market) plus the whole component scarcity RAM going up 600% in the past year. People in the PC component commerce business are seeing substantial growth in the area. A lot has happened (positively) in the business since the last financials reported and with the return of the founder to the board, we are expecting a flip from shitty loss making to profitability. Now.... Vlad Galkin a few years back also just happens to have set up Hubx an e-commerce and AI development company (currently private but seems to be doing well) with some strong synergies with Newegg. So there is clear space for e-commerce mergers going forward building on the existing networks (possibly with larger players too). So my thesis is we expect a significant flip to bring profitable in March/next financials with strong potential for e-commerce merger growth. Whether this is the trigger for a squeeze or it squeezes before that we shall see, but there are hundreds of thousands of shares that need to be covered and the float has been bought up.

I've been screaming that Bezos was behind the attempted assassinations of GME and AMC. It's why he bought MGM ->> so he could run this same play but with Amazon Prime Video and MGM instead of Netflix and HBO

397% short interest on DVLT. If volume increases significantly and shorts are forced to cover, this could outperform GME. I've never seen anything like it.

I have a standing sell order at $16 to break even on my buy-in during the GME/BB thread era. lol

I almost wanted to start a "Boomer Fat Finger" type ETF haha Like GMEV (or something like that) during GME was running.... for no reason obviously. I looked around for some other ones adjacent to meme stocks.

Nuvuser2025

End of 2022, regretting my life choices, realizing that AI was built to effectively be sure another GME never happens again, no need to even look at VIX after that.

How are shitty AI slop articles like this calculating a fair market value of $99 for GME? https://finance.yahoo.com/news/gamestop-gme-pricing-reflect-cash-191657042.html

Honestly this could be the next GME.

Crazy_Amphibian_1148

This sounds like a guaranteed way to lose money but I'm here for it. The daily thread is already full of regarded picks so automating that into an ETF is peak WSB energy Someone probably tried this before during the GME days but I'd love to see the loss porn from tracking sentiment-based trades

Slabbed1738

Feel like all the investing/stock subs got so much worse since GME. Wsb is full of so much garbage, and the other subs just turned into wsb lite.  You can even do a Google trends search on shit like 'max pain' and see searches rising. Everyone is retarded

fatdad17924

So buy GME? Got it!

curio_123

I’d say TSLA is somewhere between GME (pure meme, no real credibility) and OpenAI ($750B valuation on $13B in revenues) where the team has very high credibility but also very high future uncertainty. The key thing to remember about startups is - they’re valued on potential. They’re creating change to their advantage. Mature companies are valued on current financials which assumes the future is not significantly different. So, the fan boys buy TSLA’s insane valuation on unrealized potential. And it’s not hard to see why. I don’t like Elon Musk but to give credit when credit is due, this guy build PayPal, SpaceX and Tesla. Bezos, Page/Brin, Ellison, Gates, Hastings, Jobs, Buffett, Zuckerberg, Walton etc each build one great business in their lifetime. How many entrepreneurs have built global companies in three very difficult sectors? Still, I maintain that TSLA is valued on stories. If anything should happen to Elon Musk, the fairytale ends and the stock would prob plunge 30% in a day and 50%+ in a week. This is why I don’t want to play the game.

NoGarage54

Lmao "amateurs becoming investing heavyweights" - meanwhile half this sub is still holding GME bags from 2021 and asking if $ROPE is a good investment

wemust_eattherich

They are known for closing trades , or pausing trading . . . . GME. . . . I wouldn't trust my funds there. They gamify trading and get paid on transaction fees. You can trade stocks and play video games but if you value money don't do both at the same time.

after seeing the crap they pulled back during that GME run i wouldnt go near them with a 10ft pole.

LAndoftheLAke

Nah but I’m sure you were when you sold out of your GME position. Should’ve bought the dips instead of turning into a meltdowner.

RedTheRobot

Exactly Tesla is no different than people who buy GME stock. They both have fans that are loyal to them and will hold the stock hoping that is moons again but the reality is that ship has sailed. Even if Tesla announced they are approved for driverless cars it will be at the same time as others like Google, nivida and many more. Musk knows this and this is why he is pivoting to what he thinks is an easier space, robotics. Musk was the first but like a lot of firsts (Social Media, Search) they struggle to be nibble and adapt. Then another company comes along and does it better because they are willing to try, fail and adapt.

LAndoftheLAke

I sold my options during the second run up in May 2021. Made a lot more than “double your investment”. Used that money to buy Google, Gold, Silver, Amzn, Michael Jordan cards, paid off my truck and buy more GME shares. Diversity is King. But GME is legit. You good on pocket watching now?

FatMacchio

I don’t particularly associate with the doge or GME subs, but both of these are not dead investments. Sure doge is a meme, but it is THE meme, you cannot discount the network effect it has. And last I checked the doge sub is pretty much all bearish trolls lol. GME feels particularly set up for a vicious run here soon. Ryan Cohen’s new compensation package seems like a harbinger of what’s to come. I think he’s finally gearing up to tell shareholders and the world the plan they’ve been working out for all that cash they’re sitting on. It lines up with Trump potentially seizing control of the Fed too, which will likely severely nerf the value of that cash hoard. The incentive tiers will require some serious catalysts to achieve, and I am anticipating they have a roadmap that’s going to decimate the shorts once and for all. I could be wrong on one, or both…but I see immense undervaluing, so I hold

Martin_J_Kaminski

I agree based on the metric you provided that it grew its net income and operating income by a larger percentage. The problem to me is that this isn't sustainable in the long term unless they change their business model/acquire something else that generates more growth since the majority of their net income is derived from interest income. You make a good point on your other comment about the valuation being completely different. I don't have any critiques of what you said on it. Sometimes it's worth paying up for growth. There is no reason why you can't have a diversified portfolio with GME in it if you believe it's a strong company.

WhiskeyCity502

As a professional, for my clients who want to use Robinhood, I say it's fine for fun money or speculation. Mostly because of how they treated their users during the $GME boondoggle. For serious money, pick a large, well-established custodian.

Dealer_Existing

I'll give you another; GME trades at a PE of 25 with a forward PE of 18. Monster energy trades at a PE of 45 with a forward PE of 42. What is better valued?

Dealer_Existing

\- First of all operating income is at or near 50% of the net income. So saying they just generate cash from interest is wrong. \- Secondly, TTM operating income for GME is 221 M, with growth from Q3 24 of -23M to to Q3 24 of 52 M (YoY change of 76 M or 300%). Monster Energy has a TTM operating income of 2.39 B with an increase in operating income of 480M to 675M or a 200M growth (50%). Tell me who is growing quicker in this scenario. Market cap wise they are also not comparable 10B vs 76B

dabrothergoose

Been with Fidelity since the beginning. I thought about going to Robinhood when I first was interested in investing, then GME happened and I noped out of that one so I signed up with Fidelity and have been with them for 6 years now. Luckily my 401k also happened to be partnered with Fidelity so its a win win.

Puts on GME

ReadStoriesAndStuff

The option market itself is biased toward creating max pain around where the most options expire worthless. These are by design hedging instruments that traders exploit. This is also why so many expire worthless. They are insurance against other positions in original intent, and in most cases still are. If I buy 10000 shares of GLD at 100 and then buy 100 puts to cover a drop over the next 12 months, I am not battling market makers or hedge funds or retail over max pain. I want 100% of my puts to expire worthless. Max pain is the point of highest contention over where the underlying price discovery lands among option positions - where longs and shorts are in the most disagreement over marginal value for the base instrument on a certain date. Because market prices are just that, set by an informed market, the price tends to gravitate there. It doesn’t always hit it for a variety of reasons. A significant one is an event invalidated the thesis on which many options were previously sold. For example, if max pain is 50 on an underlying, then two days before expiry an unexpected merger is announced, it’s going to run far past max pain and there probably won’t be enough action to move it. Marker makers aren’t doing anything there. It is largely schizos who don’t understand option fundamentals blaming their unwillingness to even understand how much is involved in options messing with them. Also, you have no idea based on the option chain you deecribed on those tickers that “hedgies” are in for big losses if the price stays up. It simply doesn’t work like that in nearly all cases. GME was a complete anomaly where a few hedge funds were short on a stock that squeezed. I guarantee you, the majority of hedge funds are right on price far more than retail. For example, hedge funds got their name from a style of trading the uses a lot of hedging to extract value and minimize loses on multi-factor trades. Guess what options and large short positions are exceptional at doing - acting as a hedge to certain types of multi-factor trades. And the idea that after GME the most advanced traders in the world, big money trade desks, are going to be “surprised” by retail again is idiotic. They can be wrong - everyone is wrong at a high rate in markets. But they aren’t going to be snuck up on with retail gamma squeezes again that blow them up. It’s back to normal getting blown up - somebody screws something up with an oversized position or a black swam hammers them. The big wins you see from retail are outliers. That doesn’t mean you can’t be the outlier. But adopting the same mindset as everyone else piling in a ticker has no edge over the crowd - which can be fine, beta is often enough. The winners are just extracting dumb luck beta. I recommend stop reading and using message board posts to determine what is happening on meme tickers. You want to do options, go to the bookstore and buy out some books on Technical Analysis for Dummies and Options for Dummies and read them, take notes, and figure out why someone might sell calls while buying them when they expect price to trend upward.

NeedleArm

Hindsight is a bitch and shouldn’t be looked in regret. Use that knowledge and go forward becaue who knows maybe it couldve went to zero but you still took profits. Extreme example is GME… diamonds hands burned so many people

conradical30

GME is relying on Pokémon power packs to carry it through. ASTS has partnerships with Verizon, ATT, Vodafone, Rakuten, Orange, and well over a dozen other carriers. They have revenue (do a little DD) through various prepayment agreements and well over $1B cash on hand - fully funded to get satellites launched and service rolling. AT&T is rolling out beta service this 1H2026. ASTS will be an absolute cash cow in five years. RKLB has been pouring money into Neutron. When it flies (and it will), they will be profitable in 2027. Space systems sales are increasing exponentially and substantiate for far more revenue than launch systems anyway.

I_worship_odin

The irony of this comment is that RKLB and ASTS are just as much if not more of a meme stock(s) than GME. ASTS is a pre-revenue company worth $34 billion and RKLB has only lost more money over the past four years and is worth $45 billion.

I’ve been overweight on RKLB and ASTS since mid-‘24 and early-‘25, respectively. Made life changing amounts of gains. Been watching GME and even though I’m on the sidelines, its breaking my heart watching everyone in Superstonk still holding after *years*, waiting and hoping for MOASS.

lol so you made money on short-term price movements on GME? you guys keep hyping up the stock as a great investment but you had to buy options to make money last year because holding shares would’ve lost you 34% lol

plumpypenguin

? they’ve had at least a billion in cash on hand for years now https://www.macrotrends.net/stocks/charts/GME/gamestop/cash-on-hand and the most they’ve done with the additional billions they’ve received is buy bitcoin near the top lol

SecretAcademic1654

Nobody cares if you invest or not? If you don't see the value in the cash flows then don't.  What industry are they in that's declining?  I don't have to think about opportunity cost at all. GME could go to $0 and I would still be profitable on the name. 

plumpypenguin

lol the balance sheet isn’t the end all be all, why would I want to invest in a company that has billions of cash on hand when all they do is sit on it? if I wanted to hoard cash, I would just buy US treasuries directly instead of buying GME stock

man, I had a bunch of GME in my Roth IRA just sitting there at like $26 avg. Over the past year, I've been like wtf man, if I took even some of that and put it into GOOG or something, I'd be so much better off. So I ended up selling half of what I owned at a loss, put it into both GOOG and RKLB. Much better. But sheesh...

I love how GameStop apes have twisted the definition of shills to refer to anyone critical of GME when they have a vested interest in wanting GME to go up

Should we invest more money in GME out of spite?

Creative_Gur_4097

Short interest being high doesn't automatically mean squeeze potential - need to check the borrow rate and how underwater those shorts actually are. At $2.50 with low options liquidity this feels more like a penny stock pump than the next GME tbh

Niiiiice. I hadn't touched the HSA again until recently, just boring SPY long hold since the GME bet. Until I jumped into space stocks in October. HSA went 70k->96k since then. I'll take it

Some use AI vid generator to make a Elton John Rocket Man ASTS and RKBL meme video to keep them pumping. This is GME again.

I would use the 1970s as reference, if i am correct this is the beginning of multi year bull run. And silver has the potential for a epic short squeeze that make GME gang loos like a kids birthday party.

GPUS isn't a scam, with a partnership with NVIDIA and Vanguard being a huge investor. NVIDIA would have sued GPUS for using their name as a partner, and GPUS went from 3.00 to over 9.00 in a few days. Retail investors are loading into GPUS There will be huge news coming, and that's why insiders and institutions loaded their plates last week. Remember all the shorts that kept saying GME was a scam, and they stood there not believing their own eyes, and lost everything?

GME $20 Puts that expire friday, you'll thank me later (or not).

Nothing’s ever gonna be another GME. This will probably get you around $10, fall until further news, then likely pump a good amount higher hopefully ending in a buyout. Huge potential but not $300.

Crazy_Donkies

Put everything you have on GME weekly calls.

TheKingInTheNorth

Flatline looks like mine. Big pump for GME shenanigans, break up with Robinhood over it. Spend years paying way too many fees out of soite. Realize you’re a peon and paying many thousands in fees isn’t worth the grudge and come back to the hood casino.

I pointed out that meme stocks and $BUZZ are up huge today and got downvoted to death. “meme stock” is just always an insult on here? GME isn’t a meme stock? 

Dextrac1

If it gets that high and stays there till the 16th, after Jan 16 there will be a huge spike in price. A ton of call options are going to expire ITM, forcing the shorters to buy the stock to fulfill their obligation. This could be another GME.
