I knew I should have dumped the AMC stuff yesterday, but I had a pretty conservative stop limit so I only lost like 10% this morning. Worth it to get up to speed on this fun jargon.

Mark Cuban is doing an AMA over on wallstreetbets.  It's pretty good, and is encouraging everyone to hold on GME.  Interesting.

So the shorts ultimately feasted on the average retail investor in GME, who could have seen it coming.
