I like how the MMs totally cater to the hedge funds w/naked shorts and who knows all
but when the tide turns they turn into whinny little bitches.

I was somewhat oblivious to GameStopGate until I saw this segment on Rising this morning. Hilarious, especially the rant by Jim "man of the people" Cramer. (see 4:50 below).

And this guy could be the next Governor of California if total recall happens.
Chamath Palihapitiya closes GameStop position, but defends investors’ right to sway stocks like pros
Wednesday on CNBC’s “Fast Money: Halftime Report,” Palihapitiya said, “I ended up closing out my position this morning, and I wanted to announce that I’m taking all the profits that I made plus my original position — I’m going to take $500,000 and I’m going to donate it.
Palihapitiya dismissed Wall Street criticism about how individual investors are banding together on social media — particularly the wallstreetbets Reddit message board, and short-squeezing GameStop and a handful of other stocks like pros — as hypocritical. He said hedge funds try to push stocks around all the time.

Well, this is true.
It's illegal - but it's true.
SEC are about as useful as tits on a bull. I've not seen enforcement in years in commodity markets, even when proof of malfeasance.

GameStop’s short interest stands steadily at 139%, unchanged from a week
Interesting read on how a messageboard found a stock shorted at > 100% of the stock, so they decided to collectively buy the stock, hoping to make money off a short squeeze.
IMO, gambling, not investing, but I should add it to my watch list to see what happens.
