Imagine showing this to wallstreet bets in the GME era
Hello all, I've recently made posts on WSB and problemgambler documenting a really bad last few days to cap off years of anxiety and losses from the market. The long story short is that I started "investing" in the GME days and chased big wins (and losses) in form of meme stocks and short term options. After losses, I would pivot strategies (like doing thetagang) but it always led me back to losing on buying 0dte options. I tried quitting a few times but never stuck to it, but I'm determined to stop once and for all. I have lost $160,000 of my initial $240,000, leaving roughly $80,000 left after starting in December 2020. I think know the answer but just could use some reinforcement. I still have a lot of shares of high beta companies on margin. I don't think I can keep monitoring them and thus will need to liquidate them for a loss this week to clear the margin. Once done, put those funds into an ETF like VOO/VTI/VT. I'm also transferring my account finally out of Robinhood into Fidelity. And of course, staying out of WSB for good. I'm aware options exist there but I think a change of scenery will do the mind well. I feel like such a failure. I let my parents know and they were reasonably understanding. I know I'm not in debt but it's shameful what I did to set myself back. Here's what I have left as a 35 year old living in a HCOL city making $94k a year. $80k in taxable, $140k in retirement (luckily I always stayed the course there with VOO and a bit of mag7), $25k in my savings and $50k in company stocks. Thank you.
do polymarket instead of this scamming shit brokerage.. how didn't you learn after GME?.
GME is basically just a blue chip stock now with super low IV
I heard about it during GME but didn't really pay much more attention or think about if I could participate in the rally, then I started investing and using CFD. Which was a gateway drug to options. To be fair options are way better CFD spreads are brutal and at the control of the operator, being a derivative of the market.
The most fun I’ve ever had on the stock market was GME. I miss when the sub had live chats during it lol

I miss GME. Lurked WSBs circa 2018-2019, got in on GME, never looked back
Is there a reason why people say the GME short squeeze wasn't stopped by insiders literally removing the buy button? That could not have been "just a coincidence".
nah nothing will ever beat the thread over the weekend of the mass GME hysteria, after it hit the mainstream news, that shit was biblical
What expiration dates are you using for you GME CC and CSPs? The 3/6 27 call shows only .08 right now which is only about .3% for a week. The 3/6 put is around .02 or .03, an even smaller return. I'll give you one thing if you are trading weeklies, it sure is boring. Do you have GME shares that you want to keep and that is why you are doing CCs at 27 which have almost no chance of getting exercised?

DFV is indeed very lucky, perhaps the luckiest retail stock trader ever. But he is not a day trader and his very early thesis of GME still stands correct. IIRC his entry point was at around 2-5 and he believed the stock should be valued above 18. In the past few years the stock has been trading exactly at this level or little higher recently.
GME cultist. Your opinion is worthless
Win is win. Better than losses. Don’t get me started on GME before it explodes.
Yep, gamestock is still reeling people in today as well as Tesla, the single stock cult is strong. That whole time was crazy with ARK, SPACs, GME, AMC, BB. Retail investing took off after that, made people a lot of money. I’ve lost a lot of money to spacs during that time too.
A modern depression will lead to a restructuring of the social contract. The satisfaction felt by the 99% will be harnessed towards something huge. I'm thinking a global GME phenomena
The S&P500 will continue to be associated with AI This will cause blowback amongst the 99% because the growth of the stock market will be at the expense of their livelihoods. The question on the mind of the 99% is "how can we slow this down?" Unfortunately, the incentive structure is such that nobody stops this train. This next sentence will sound insane to people. The Unabomber saw this first. The upcoming political divide will be pro-AI vs pro-Human. Why? Because the jobless expansion is here, and the law has not caught up to defend the rights of people in an age where technology is moving so fast. To those that read this and disagree, that's fine with me. The beautiful thing about investing is that each person has a thesis, and then time will tell. When Occupy Wall Street and $GME arose and were subsequently snuffed out, those animal spirits didn't die; they went into hibernation. The heat of the outrage surrounding AI in the context of a changing world order into multipolarity, as the dollar continues to weaken, will wake these spirits up from their slumber. Few
That last paragraph, goddamn lol. But you're not wrong. I had only just started using this sub in 2019, but you're so right in how much COVID changed things. I earnestly think the whole GME/DeepFuckingValue saga also irreparably poisoned the well in creating a generation of younger investors who unironically think cosplaying as the most lucky day trader in the world is anywhere near the norm lol.
I can probably count on one hand how many times I check my ROTH Ira in a year. That should have been me when it came to general investing. I came in at the worst times during the GME and it messed up my perception of money.
Started "investing" Dec 2020, the big bumps were GME where I didn't take profit. I added funds through the years. I had 180k yesterday, down to what you see here now.
Is this the new $GME without the war on the rich people?
Short squeeze which will rival GME
Imagine not buying BYND calls earlier today for the GME-like squeeze
Rich people have basically figured out an infinite money glitch. If valuations keep going up they can keep going to banks to get loans for cash based on the value of their stock. Value that keeps going up. Stock market valuations are mostly vibes these days. It takes a huge amount of effort to disrupt the plans of market makers and if you're able to pull it off they will come after you (see:GME). It's just rich people trading bags, getting money from one bank to fund buying more stock and pay off other loans, and eventually the whole thing will be someone else's problem. No, really, that's the plan. The older rich plan to just die and make it their heirs problem. The younger rich are leaning into oligarchy because they are going to increasingly use the state and OUR money to protect their wealth. I know it sounds fantastical, but this is what's happening. They aren't being secretive about it
Don’t feel so bad. There are people on r/GME still waiting for a squeeze.
i was on board the DFV/GME/AMC wagon but didnt sell nearly enough
“Fk NVDA, all in on GME”, prob most of this board back then
GME to the moon. Apes strong
This guys average cost was 5 bucks so taking the splits into account you wouldn't have even thought about it. There were two stocks I wanted to go heavy on in 2020-2021. Tesla and then GME as I was following it. Tesla I was ready to buy like 50k of. I was all set to buy it and then I didn't and second guessed myself. Then when GameStop came I didn't have much cash. Still made some off it. The last one I was heavily considering was ASTS. I.
i remember just starting my interest in stocks when GME happened, nobody could explain it well enough to me to open an account but i definitely got lucky with putting 25% of my salary into gold from 2024-2025
Holy shit $IBTA is squeezing, it’s the next GME, HODL bitches!!
Exactly, that's the difference. You mentioned GME. Currency only has value if others have confidence in it. Equity has value because there are underlying assets. Have you ever taken an econ class? God damn.
are you still holding GME stock?
“it is set by whatever the next buyer agrees to pay.” Isn’t that how everything works? Sure all the other factors contribute to that action, but in the end… isn’t that what happened to GME?
this one? Copy pasta'd it. \--- Hand waved explanation\*\*\* \*\*\*may contain errors **> I know enough to know that robinhood and others earn their money through routing purchases of shares through a MM** That's payment for orderflow (PFOF) you're talking about. Yes MM's pay for orderflow. But that's because retail flow is considered "non-toxic", ie: non market moving, whereas institutions flow is often market moving. Retail is "noise" that doesn't move the price, so MM's can offer spreads / better prices than best bid/ask. The MM can only offer a better price than you'd get without PFOF. Retail actually gets better prices than institutions in most cases (surprisingly) because of this. They also pay lower fees. It's because retail is "noise" and isn't "we're dumping $100m" and the MM is left holding a bag. The MM holds retails inventory and just waits for someone else to come along and buy it. They know they can probably sell it for a profit (ie: the spread) since retail flow isn't market moving on average. **> even if its going to and through, they immediately buy another put contract sold from someone else who is the respective direct counterpart to my bet, right?** No. MM's often don't hedge immediately, they assume the risk. They model the risks around things such as options and often hedge after certain risk thresholds are broken. MM's often hold huge (multi billion dollar) inventories (ie: they're exposed to billions in market risk). What your describing is what is known as a "market neutral" strategy. Some MM's employ it - many don't. Every MM is different tho (there is no universal "mm's always do this!"). After all - MM's are basically just proprietary trading systems owned by hedge funds / prop firms. They all have different rules / do different things. Many firms hold onto the contract and wait for someone else to come along and buy it, assuming all the risks in the meantime. They often get lopsided positions, and they CAN get run over. Look at what happened to the MM's shorting GME during 2021. They lost over a BILLION dollars. So no, MM's are not always perfectly hedged. **> So now its me against that random other guy, even if its technically against the MM?** The MM writes the contract & often buys shares to hedge it (incase of things like exercise / delivery). Not always tho. Everyone is different -- see above. If they turn around and "dump it to someone else" - it's almost always another market maker. No single buyer is sitting there waiting to buy at the drop of a pin (they'd be a MM themselves if that was the case). It really often is "you vs the MM". If someone else comes and buys something (even with an opposing position) - it's now both of you vs the MM. Think of a MM like a bookmaker in a betting house. You go in and bet on horse A winning. Someone else comes in and bets on B. The house takes both bets. It isn't "you vs the other bettor". It's "both of you vs the house, but the house is gonna win one of those bets". One of you loses, the other wins, and the house will always win (because they have odds in their favor when they sell the bets. IE: 95:100 payout in both directions). So they'll pay out $95 to one guy, pocket $100 from the other and profit $5 irregardless of the outcome. The spread in the market replicates this function (roughly). Very handwaved analogy. **> But what I just described makes no sense if its just only interacting with the MM and not the broader market** It's often you interact with a MM. When someone else wants to make a trade, they'll ALSO interact with a MM. In the meantime, the MM holds onto the inventory. They have spreads which is how they make their money for assuming the risks. It's quite rare you interact with a non mm player on the other end. The "other end" (if a person were to take it) reduces down to the case above in almost all cases.
Sup nerds. Let me tell you why PayPal might be the most interesting trade sitting in front of us right now, and why I think a lot of people are sleeping on it. PayPal just had its GameStop moment, except this time it’s in reverse. Instead of a bunch of retail traders pumping a dead company to spite hedge funds, this is a genuinely dominant business that got absolutely demolished by the market until it looked so cheap that the big players started circling it like sharks. The stock peaked at $309 in 2021. It just bottomed somewhere around $38. That’s nearly an 88% drawdown on a company that processes $1.8 trillion in payment volume annually and has 439 million active users. Remember when GME was at $4 before the squeeze and people were like “this company is worthless”? The market has a tendency to overshoot in both directions, and right now PayPal is getting the same “this thing is dead” treatment that GameStop got, except PayPal’s business actually works and generates real money. Three weeks ago the company dropped a disaster earnings call, missed on revenue, missed on EPS, guided to a mid-single-digit earnings decline for 2026, pulled their long-term targets entirely, and fired the CEO all in the same breath. The stock dropped 19% in a single day on 135 million shares of volume. Pure capitulation. Everyone who was on the fence panic-sold, every algo that had a stop loss triggered, and the stock just got gutted. That kind of selling is almost always overdone, and the data backs it up. After that kind of volume event you typically see a flush and then stabilization. The people who are left holding after a 19% single-day drop aren’t weak hands anymore. Now here’s where it gets acutally interesting. Two days ago Bloomberg reported that PayPal has attracted unsolicited takeover interest from major rivals. Then yesterday it came out that Stripe, which is privately valued at around $150 billion, is among the parties looking to potentially acquire all or parts of the company. That means Stripe, a private company, is valued at roughly four times what PayPal’s public market cap currently is. Let that sink in for a second. The scrappy challenger is worth four times the established pioneer that built the entire consumer digital payments infrastructure. Either Stripe is massively overvalued, or PayPal is massively undervalued. Probably some of both, but the gap is absurd. When Stripe starts sniffing around, you know the institutional money has figured out there’s value here that the public market hasn’t priced in yet. The fundamental case was already there before any of this acquisition noise, too. PayPal is trading at roughly 8x forward earnings right now. To put that in context, Visa trades at around 25x, Mastercard trades at a similar multiple, and the broader financial sector averages about 21x. PayPal is one of only four globally recognized payment network brands in the world alongside those two and Amex, and it’s priced like a struggling regional bank. The company generated over $5 billion in net income last year, up 26% year-over-year. It has $14.4 billion in cash and investments on the balance sheet. Venmo alone grew 14% for four consecutive quarters and brought in $1.7 billion in revenue. The business isn’t broken. The execution was bad and the guideance is ugly, but there’s a massive difference between a bad quarter and a broken company. The new CEO angle also matters more than people are giving it credit for. Enrique Lores, who took over March 1st, is the guy who turned HP around, cut costs, rebuilt margins, refocused the product lineup. That is literally the exact playbook PayPal needs right now. The prior CEO got fired because the board thought he was moving too slow on restructuring. So they went out and found someone with a verifiable track record of doing exactly this. Markets hate transition uncertainty, and that uncertainty is already priced into the current stock price. What’s not priced in is the possibility that Lores actually executes. If you’re thinking about options instead of just the stock, the setup has real asymmetry to it but you have to be thoughtful about structure. Implied volatility is elevated right now after a 15% two-day move, which means you’re paying a premium for optionality. A short-dated call is dangerous here, if the acquisition rumor cools down for a few weeks you’ll bleed theta while waiting for the next catalyst. The smarter structure is probably a call spread out to May or later: buy the $50 call, sell the $65 call, something in that range. You’re capping your upside but also dramatically reducing your cost basis and the IV drag. You’re essentially betting the stock gets back to analyst consensus price targets, not that it squeezes to $200 like GME. Analyst median price target right now sits at $67 with the bull case around $70-80, and that’s without any acquisition premium baked in. A formal takeover offer typically comes with a 30-50% premium over current price, which could push the deal value north of $60-65 per share from where we are now. The risks are real though and I’m not going to just wave them away. The acquisition might not happen, “preliminary interest” is Wall Street code for “some banker made a call and someone else didn’t hang up immediately.” If Stripe walks, or if the rumor just fades with no follow-through, this stock gives back those gains fast. There’s also a class-action securities fraud lawsuit filed on February 22nd alleging material misstatements about growth outlook under prior leadership, with a lead plaintiff deadline of April 20th. Legal overhang at exaclty the moment the company is trying to reset its story is not ideal. And the core structural problem, Apple Pay and Google Pay eating into branded checkout with younger users, is real. That’s not an execution problem Lores can fix with cost cuts. Branded checkout grew just 1% last quarter. That’s the kind of slow bleed that eventually matters if they don’t find an answer for it. But here’s the thing about the GameStop comparison that actually holds up: the best trades aren’t the ones where everything is perfect, they’re the ones where the market has overcorrected and the asymmetry between downside and upside is skewed in your favor. GME at $4 wasn’t a good company, it was an oversold one with a specific catalyst coming. PayPal at $47 is actually a good company, and it has multiple potential catalysts converging at the same time, acquisition interest from Stripe and others, a new CEO with a restructuring mandate, a valuation that makes no sense relative to cash flow, and a stock that just had a historic capitulation event. The downside from here is probably $35-38 at the worst case if everything falls apart. The upside if a deal gets done or Lores executes is $65-85. That’s the kind of setup worth paying attention to. Size it right, don’t bet the house, but don’t sleep on this one either.

Thanks for your submission! If your post essentially boils down to trying to recruit others to buy into your stock so that it can squeeze, then your post is not welcome here. The truth is, we get a lot of "squeeze plays" or "the next GME" type threads, and honestly, they never pan out. If you really have an interesting play, it should be able to stand on its own merits, without necessitating a whole bunch of retailers (kek) to buy in after you and pump up the price. Look, this isn't a pump and dump forum. For that, try r/ponzischemes.

This idiot can just say anything...like its true....think if he was a regard....glad to see AMC and GME hit all time highs today!
Congrats I need that on GME lol
The same retards that shorted GME right before it went parabolic? This should be fun.
$GME calls aren’t lookin to bad
I feel like GME has been stuck at 24-25 for the past 5 years
2026...it's up another 2% today...up 4% over the last 5 days...up 5% over the last month...and up 20% since Jan 1. 2026 has been a good year for $GME so far. But, continue to parrot Wall St talking points.

I bought my car with GME. What a time to be alive.
calling it a meme stock is honestly just as intellectually lazy as calling it "not a car company." it does $97B in revenue. meme stocks don't have revenue. GME was a meme stock. AMC was a meme stock. tesla is a real company with a real cult premium baked into the valuation. the actual uncomfortable truth is that tesla is a car company trading at a tech multiple because the market is pricing in optionality on like 6 different businesses that don't meaningfully exist yet. which is fine if you're into that, but let's at least be honest about what we're buying instead of hand-waving it as "lol meme stock" like that explains a $900B market cap
lol GME. What year do you think it is?

There is a rumour that GME is going to buy PYPL.

They learned from what happened in 2021 with GME
It's where all the GME people went.
GME squeez going to bring the whole thing down
> GME wow I really thought this was a banned word in this subreddit.
$GME only shimmer of green in my port. thanks burry i guess
Yeah, actually I wasn't buying GME shares either but selling puts like you (which is basically the same thing as buying shares where both are opening GME positions). I originally had long calls or shares on GME starting many years back (since 2012 or so), but unfortunately I also all had short calls against all of them and so I didn't get the big runup (had to close the positions) but still made decent money (nothing close to what I could have if there weren't any short calls on them). After I had to close the positions I was communicating to someone online how it was a bummer I had to get out and couldn't take advantage of the volatility because the price was just too high to get back in. Then someone replied I need to take a look at selling puts at very low strikes. It was insane the amount of premium you could get on the short puts. On 11/03/2022 I sold Puts at a $18.75 strike with a 1/20/2023 expiration (78 DTE) and received $1.90/shr for those when GME stock price was over $100/shr. TDAmeritrade wouldn't let me do it, but Vanguard did.
Yeah, I seem to recall it being half and half. E-Trade shut me out selling puts on GME at the time, so did RH. Schwab had issues as well if i recall, but I didn't use it for GME.
This is correct. I am not a Robinhood fan at all (actually do not like Robinhood), but TDAmeritrade also halted opening positions on GME as well. Interestingly Vanguard did still allow it.
To make this deal happen, Cohen would likely need: 1. The $9B "Down Payment": GameStop uses its entire war chest to buy a ~20% stake in PayPal on the open market or via a private deal. 2. Stock-for-Stock Merger: GameStop issues new shares to PayPal shareholders at a ratio (e.g., 2 shares of "New GME" for every 1 share of PYPL). This would be highly dilutive but would immediately create a $50B+ Market Cap entity. 3. The "Gmerica" Bank Rebrand: By merging, GameStop gains PayPal’s infrastructure and its pending Bank Charter application. This pivots the business from "selling games" to "the plumbing of the digital economy."
Maybe a vertical line of product, services and payment processing. I could see a GME, PSA and PayPal merger/take over making sense.
I wonder if this is what Ryan Cohen and $GME are going to buy? They're eyeing a major purchase.
PayPal is 4X the market cap of GME...
Fo shizzle, it's like when RH showed GME at a milli a share back in the day. Heart skips a beat, then reality kicks in, lol.
GME holding $9B in cash right now with little to no debt🤷♂️
I think he discovered an opportunity (large short interest heading into a console cycle) and then capitalized on it. He certainly created a lot of hype around GME, but I’m not convinced that the hype was the edge there; it seems more to me like the initial realization (i.e., discovery) of the asymmetrical opportunity was the edge ‘engine’, and the subsequent hype was just fuel that kept it going.
What about Roaring Kitty in 2021 on GME frenzy?
