WannaBe: Another not important thing that I noticed, as a premium member when I visit ChessGames.com Statistics Page page, I see ads. Not that a big deal. Sure CG.com have more important things to fix.

  WannaBe: This is just freakin' nuts. N.U.T.S.

https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/27/inve...

I hope these buyers of GME and AMC don't get burned... Seriously. Or rather semi-seriously, because a lesson needs to be taught here.

GME is going through the roof because of someone's tweet? C'mon!!

Are we going back to the days of getting your stock tips from barber shop and shoeshiner?

  WannaBe: People on Reddit call it the poor vs the rich:

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/game...

GME (GameStop) today went up almost 200 dollars (stock closed at 347.51) or 134.84% increase, <ONE DAY>.

A lot of poor people are gonna get hurt, badly hurt when GME or BBBY or AMC comes back to earth. It will be like that short trader on Robinhood who committed suicide after realizing he was 6 figures in debt.

  WannaBe: Robinhood and other brokers have disabled buying option for GME and other stocks:

  WannaBe: Trying to "sneak" in a buy to open put on GME, $155 for Jan 2023 at $0.05

But I see trading for GME and all options have been halted...

See what happens. It will only cost me $5.65 if it goes through

Jan-28-21
Premium Chessgames Member
  WannaBe: Have trading of GME resumed? Because the latest number I see is that it crashed $194 dollars...

Opened at $344 and change, now at $155 and change

  WannaBe: Someone or bodies got rich, and its not Robinhood or other small retail investors; errrrr gamblers, or idiots.

https://finance.yahoo.com/m/7622e6a...

It's a South Korean Fund!!

Hope those gambling/reddit/idiots who bought GME late don't lose <TOO MUCH> money.

The stock is down about $120.00 to $230.00 a share. Which is still about $220.00 over-priced.

  WannaBe: This have become totally freakin' beyond crazy:

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/tiny...

So, these reddit readers, who probably drive eco friendly EVs and now pumping up (pardon the expression) an oil company?!!??!?!

Personal opinion, I hope these retail gambler a.k.a. idiots, lose all their money, and be in debt if they are borrowing on margin.

This is crazier/worse than .com boom or the housing boom (Y'all know how those turned out)

It is also my opinion, that these people have no idea who made post on reddit (MBA? Someone who is doing a pump and dump? Accredited CPA?) and like a bunch herded animal, they <WILL> end up in the slaughter house or over a cliff. Like a bunch of lemmings.

It's not "Maybe" they will, or "This can happen", or "potentially". This is <WILL> happen.

  WannaBe: So, what is WallStreetBet? Besides betting and gambling?

https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/29/inve...

<"I went from a rational investor to some sick irrational desperate gambler."

Weeks after their "farewell," they were back on the site. 

"No emergency fund. No retirement," they wrote. "And lost my last check on a credit spread.">

Credit Spread?! How stupid can someone be?

  WannaBe: So, who really have made money with GME stock?

https://www.investors.com/etfs-and-...

Mutual Funds (read Wall Street Institution Investors) and one individual, who is on the GameStop board.

The people on Reddit or Robinhood are excited about making a few hundred thou since the beginning of the week, the people they are going up again (Wall Street) made <BILLIONS>.

Who is really winning?

And those late comers who bought GME at $300+ a share, (like buying a house at the very height of the housing bubble) once reality sets in and the stock goes back to what it should be priced at <$10.00 a lot of people are going to be out of a sheet load of money.

  WannaBe: <TD>'s forum is closed, did his membership run out or he closed it?!!? Ugh!!
Jan-30-21  Z4all: Likely he closed his own forum. Normally, when your premium ends you also lose your avatar too, but TD still has his.

  WannaBe: <Z4all> Right, right, the avatar. Forgot about that little detail.
Jan-31-21  Alien Math: hello I was browsing through the forums and saw your <WannaBe: Not sure if those were photoshopped, but man, they don't even come close to the real words.>

for the one that says <I can't find on google but it's delicious> i'm glad they recommend the fried water lotus

<MannBee>

As a student of internet acronyms (AASPOIA), I believe I can parse your challenging <RFLMFAS>:

"Roll Fleecy Llama, my Fleecy Alpaca Sweetheart."

This is a popular acronym over on the <South American Wild Animal Love Society> thread on Reddit.

<GME>

Another easy one!

"Genetically Modified Elves"

This one is popular over on the <Santa Claus Labor Relations for the New Millennium> thread on Reddit.

  WannaBe: You decided to buy GME, why are you mad at RobinHood?

https://www.yahoo.com/news/barstool...

Apps like RobinHood and Facebook, Twitter, bringing "Power" to the masses...

Yeah right, my furry wabbit rear-end. They brought chaos, dissent, false info/news, and nothing but time-wasting CRAP!
