Only one side is very clearly manipulating the stock price.

short sellers that reveal their position with a report outlining their allegations against the company involved are right on the edge of open manipulation.

they may be (in some cases, they definitely have) performing a market service in investigating fraud or other corporate malfeasance, but it's a niche that's very prone to manipulation.

I find it pretty amusing that people are suddenly very concerned about market manipulation, COLUSION, insider trading and talking up SEC regulations once some crap posters from Reddit start squeezing the most shorted stock in the world.

This is blatant.  I don’t think anyone here cares about the hedge funds or is saying bad stuff groups have done in the past is ok.

I do fear for the market collapse. They're bleeding dry investment firms that are tied to most banks. Gonna be bailout city.

billionaire hedge funders.

I think they will be the market based losers in this scenario.

I tried to think about which side I would put my own money on. (1) I don't think these dudes below are going to want to back down at all - especially after already going in for a couple billion. (2) This is what they do. (3) They have billions more at their disposal.

He seemed sad delivering that news. Hilarious they are blaming an online forum for bullying a hedge fund. Its almost like it isn't fair for one side to have a platform to try and pump their investments.  :rolleyes:

It is quite delicious and hilarious IMO. I don't play any of these games but I just find the whole situation really, really funny. Getting owned at their own game and then crying about it.

Can someone explain it like I'm 5? Reddit nerds are mass buying stock just to troll, and then what?

Their game is screwing the hedge funds that are shorted bigly on certain stocks.

They buy and buy to drive the price upward.

This forces the hedge funds to borrow more to fund their shorts.

Eventually, the hedge funds can't get borrow any more and they are bankrupt.

Game over as stock crashes back to reality.
