Shorting is basically a strategy that bets a stock (or bond) or commodity will drop in price. Its the opposite approach to buying a stock and hoping it goes up in price.

Syrmax Posted January 26 Gamestop Explodes Higher As Stock Is Now Trapped In Gamma Vortex This is the greatest thing I've seen in a while. CNBC Buffoons all aghast. Can't wait till tomorrow as my cash trading account has a lot of money settling. Gonna be tempting to join the festivities....and there are many other targets to short squeeze. It's almost a daily ATM at this point. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's incredible. Have never seen anything like it. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

champy Posted January 26 WSB told me to hold my 12.25 shares until they are worth least 1K each. Even now has been a healthy profit from an initial $200 investment. They're pimping BB and NOK now too. It's like 1998 all over again... 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This whole Gamestop episode (and others like it that have been going on recently) make me think this is going to unwind violently sooner than later. We may be calling this the Gamestop Top. Watch the Fed statement tomorrow. They may try to play with language to scare the markets a bit. Even though their policy have a hand in this bubble, they have to be looking for ways to vent some pressure here. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I see stocks going up for awhile as we recover from covid. I think the real correction is 2-3 years from now minimum. 2020/1st half of 2021 featured lockdowns that severely impacted businesses and their reporting/numbers. Those numbers will likely skyrocket with gov't money and people leaving homes again. Lots of good data will be coming out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Those numbers will likely skyrocket with gov't money and people leaving homes again. Lots of good data will be coming out. It's more complex than that I suspect. But what you state, broadly, is the current conventional wisdom that has been fueling the "reflation" trade. And its largely predicated on the idea that the covid tunnel will be ending soon. And that's probably too optimistic. I could be wrong but the key i-m watching is the USD reversing higher with an increase in 2s&10s bond yields. More immediately, there is a slew of market technical indicators starting to flash real warning signs. One example is that the Put/Call ratio is at historic lows in an overheated market. Don't know when this happens but I suspect February will be rough (its seasonality sucks also), so I am beginning to take profits and keep my trade durations on a tight leash. In fact, the best thing working is day trading large short squeezes. Noone's ever seen this magnitude and raw number of them. Which is another indication somethings really getting whacky. Also, by Feb the big cap earnings reports will be done with...leaving the smaller end of the market remaining to roll out to probably disappointing results as that's where the covid recession is happening. Coupled with Buyer exhaustion and possible Fed jawboning...could be catalysts for a correction. Sideways correction would be good but conditions are too extreme for that so i suspect a fast violent move is more likely. Followed by more stimulus and Fed action to pump markets back up again. That's my thinking anyway. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Syrmax Posted January 27 @BuffaloWeather (and anyone else) here's An interesting youtube video on Bitcoin if you have 30 minutes to kill, from somebody who i have followed for years. Raoul Pal veered off the conventional high finance world for the most part and is now concentrating on Bitcoin. He got me interested in getting into Etherium and Bitcoin last year. It's an interesting perspective on the future of finance and money...recorded last October so relatively recent. Very easy listen, more a macro case for BTC. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There’s no way the fundamentals of GameStop can support the price it’s at. At some point the party will be over and it could get ugly in a hurry. We are probably near the top of this market. Other than a few small stock positions the extent of my market involvement is in a 454b plan that has done quite well over the past 5 years. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The bigger bubble to be concerned about is due to Congress spending and Fed policy. CNBC and pols don't want to talk about that. If markets were a true reflection of the economy everyone's 401k's would be 201k's.. again. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
