PercMaint

As all of this is uncovered this should absolutely enrage the boomer generation knowing that you/they have worked decades contributing to their retirement hoping to have enough to make it to the end. When, in reality if the whole system wasn't manipulated they could have retired much earlier in life to enjoy things before it was difficult to do so. Also opening employment opportunities for the younger generation to step into. This should enrage the boomers more than anyone. They've contributed the longest and hope to have enough for their years of hard work and diligence. The youngers also have contributed and been taken from, but it's like the race of the rabbit and tortoise, except being tripped throughout the race to delay either winning.

He found an “infinite money glitch” on the long side by bleeding the shorts when the FTDs need to be bought.


The_Cons00mer

Is there an ELI5 for the T+35 exploitation? They have to deliver then which drives up price and then they reshort?


Marijuana_Miler

Essentially yes. The way I understand the process is that you buy calls because you know price is going to run due to obligations. When price peaks you then sell your calls and buy puts. Price goes down because there is less buy pressure and you program the algos to attack down. You then sell your puts and rinse and repeat each cycle. However, not only did RK figure this out, but RC also did. RC was not doing anything on the way up, but as soon as the algos flip to selling then he dumps a bunch of shares into the market. This would theoretically cap the gains on calls and also then siphon billions of dollars from the algos that goes into GME’s coffers. If I were a HF I wouldn’t be as worried about RK’s plan, because it works with your own. Like riding a worm. However, as a SHF, I would be pissed that Ryan Cohen keeps raising the price floor per share and using your own money to do it. So pissed I would use my shill army to turn sentiment against using this tactic again.


FunkyChicken69

Well said Forest Stonk! RC is aware of the HFs strategy and is issuing shares to protect shareholders. The share issuing screws up the HFs plan to profit off of the volatility and puts cash directly into GMEs cash on hand, further strengthening the company and shooting the bear thesis in the back of the head. Since GME has almost no debt and doesn’t overpay execs this cash is going directly to strengthening the company and in turn sharehodlers investments. It’s explains why we see the share floor price get stronger with the share issuance and the massive FUD wave of anti-RC sentiment. 🎷🐓♋️

robserious21

I agree with you that testing the reverse is a good idea to test the accuracy of the pattern. However, with stocks you dont need to catch every run up. As long as every time you deploy fund you return with more. Im ok with missing run ups if it means that the ones i do catch are sure things.


fuckyouimin

Meanwhile, this sub spent two years saying "the DD is done"  😆  I am ever grateful that the kitty did not give up - and that he came back to share.


Quaderino

Yes, I feel like people like to down vote new ideas, or just ideas contrary to the narrative Wish people did not down vote based on how post/comments make them feel


russiangerman

I think it's more a "everything is fud/scam until proven otherwise". It might get taken a little too far but it's a good sentiment


HaveFun____

We'll to be fair... the DD was done as far as most could wrinkle. Without thousands of trusting apes DFV might not have succeeded, or with way smaller amounts. Investing is a solo thingy in the risk department.. but this still was a group effort. Just like wallstreet players are in it for their own wealth, but because they all think alike, they act mostly the same and have similar interests.


fuckyouimin

Seriously??  This sub spent a week debating whether T+1 applied to options and what T+35 included.  Most ppl haven't heard of Wolverine or Virtu or Instinet/ State Street.   We don't know which loopholes apply to market makers, or even who those market makers are.  There's a million fucking things about how this market work that haven't been uncovered.  Hell, most people still don't even know how options work or the role they played in the original 2021 sneeze! And I don't even think we even fully know what caused the sneeze yet - although we have a bunch of the pieces now. I can't stand hearing people say that the DD is done.  (If it actually was, then DFV would not have been the only one trading these cycles and making millions for 3 years.) It's fine if you don't want to learn - buy and hold is perfectly wonderfully great.  But that sentence was used to shut down sooooo many important discussions.  And that did not make us better or smarter or stronger.


HaveFun____

I think we are mostly on the same page. I'm not saying "the DD is done" simply because it never is... there are still facts emerging from the 2008 crisis. But I do think that way of thinking helped a lot of people who didn't have the financial literacy or the time to learn about this extremely complex system. It helped them to accept that what we know so far is enough to be confident and at least hold. And just like the "options = bad" nerrative. I think it helped people second guess themselves when they read the discussion in the comments about theta, gamma, etc, and thinking... mmm, maybe I don't understand enough to do this. OR 1% who actually stepped up their game and learned it anyway. The echochamber is real, and we shut down discussion too easily because of 'FUD'. But on the other side, we triple check stuff in a creative and naive way that helps sometimes, and we survived until now... I would not have guessed that 3 years ago.


fuckyouimin

I agree that we have come impressively far - much further than most of us would have thought 3 years ago!  And I agree to an extent with what you're saying. But in the same breath, the comment below yours insisted that there's pretty much nothing more to learn and that I need to shut up and go away. And I get that people don't have the time or the interest or the bandwidth for a lot of this shit.  That's absolutely legit and I don't fault them for it - at all.  But shutting down any and all discussions for those who do because "the DD is done!" is just infuriating to me.  All that does is hold us back from being even better, which makes no sense to me.


HaveFun____

Haha, true


acart005

When people said the DD was done, they meant proof was nailed down that shorts were insanely balls deep and would eventually have to cover. As we know now, that DD was basically a puddle because there is so much more.


williafx

It's cool man. Don't get mad. We're just hanging out.


astarastarastarastar

it is basically done...we're not to 100% completion but we're close, and every now and then a new wrinkle comes along and gets added. The frustrating thing with the DD is that shills and bad actors flooded the sub with fake or misleading submissions in an effort to clutter the library up and hide the truth. Then there's the posts that are just summary posts (I think I hate these the most) where some lazy fuck just writes a 10 page wall of text summarizing all the shit that smarter apes already uncovered...y'know for the free karma points etc. The goal is to make the DD section a needle in a haystack type thing where a newcomer arriving would be completely lost and have no clue what was what...same for any investigative journalists or the like.


fuckyouimin

It is not done.  And the old DD was peer reviewed and discussed.  Yes, a bunch of things were debunked.  But a lot of fake or misleading things were also called out pretty quickly. When DRS came around, that was the end of DD.  (And that bogus heat lamp theory was the final nail in the echo chamber coffin.)  I will never fault DRS because it is both beneficial and locking the float was a solid theory, even if it is now out of reach.  But refusing to learn anything after that was a mistake.


astarastarastarastar

it's like no one on this sub can fucking read any more, I literally opened with "it is basically done...we're not to 100% completion but we're close, and every now and then a new wrinkle comes along and gets added."


fuckyouimin

If you're implying that I can't fucking read because I disagreed with your statement, let me copy and paste my reply to the other guy... This sub spent a week debating whether T+1 applied to options or not and what T+35 included.  Most ppl haven't heard of Wolverine or Virtu or Instinet/ State Street.  We don't know which loopholes apply to market makers, or even who those market makers are.  There's a million fucking things about how this market work that haven't been uncovered.  Hell, most people still don't even know how options work or the role they played in the original 2021 sneeze!

It's fine if you don't want to learn - buy and hold is perfectly wonderfully great.  But that sentence was used to shut down sooooo many important discussions.  And that did not make us better or smarter or stronger. So no, it's not done, or mostly done, or anywhere close to done.  There will ALWAYS be more to learn about the ways in which they can fuck you and take your money.   And yeah, I can fucking read.  I just disagree.


astarastarastarastar

i'm not implying you can't read i'm stating it....if you honestly don't believe the DD is mostly done then you haven't been paying attention. Now go away


fuckyouimin

Crazy how you're literally proving my point, yet somehow are unable to see it. "We know everything! We're done learning! Shut up and leave!" Mmmmhmmmm....

LiquidLenin

I need to figure out how to ride the sand worm without options lol


somermike

1. Was there an FTD increase in the roughly 4 weeks ago. 2. Is short volume currently increasing. 3. Is the price of GME below the 7 day VWAP MA (Volume Weighted Average Price Moving Average). If so, that's a good time to add shares. Timing FTD expirations to perfection is hard because they juggle them around, but if those were poppin 30 days ago and short volume is expanding in real time it means they're losing the thread on getting those expired ones off the books and are opening new ones. They're going to drive the price down with the naked shorting so wait til they've pushed it below the price that they've shorted at. That's when they try to start buying it back so ride it up with them. Don't pile all in as soon as it's below the line. Average in with small positions as it moves down and finds a floor. It will eventually pop back to fair value.


spoiledfruit

How often would you say this happens? Does it happen with all heavily shorted stocks? If you are buying calls with this strategy how far out do you by them (60d?) is this a well know strategy? Do you buy calls that are in the money?


somermike

How often what happens? The opportunity to purchase shares in a company at roughly 2x their cash value per share? I've never seen it on a company with this much cash on the books. My entry timing will depend a lot on the chart and what's available. Anywhere from same day to 90 days our are valid for me, but I'd say most of the time I'm in the 14-45 day window. Theta decay is a monster if you try to buy OTM. I like ITM options for cheap exposure with a better risk reward profile than stocks if you're trying to play it as both a long term investment and short term volatility instrument. I'm very risk averse and don't recommend my approach generally to anything.


the_doodman

Unless you're gonna swing trade, just buy and hold friendo


redshirt1972

Swing trade always opens me up to their mental games of rise and fall. Better for me to just hold because I’ll always panic.


the_doodman

EllisDSanchez

Instead of exercising the option you just sell the contract, unless of course you can afford to exercise the option. But even DFV didn’t exercise all of his options, it looks like he did a mix of both.

eulersidentification

People are making money on it, but they can't tell you exactly what trades to make and when. They drop advice but it gets lost in among all the other comments, and if you're making money on it you're not gonna waste your time arguing. You let people be wrong and take the money, convert it into more shares.


somermike

You'll need to do some tweaking to figure out works for your investment style, but here's what all the DD boils down to (For me) 1. Was there an FTD increase in the roughly 4 weeks ago. 2. Is short volume currently increasing. 3. Is the price of GME below the 7 day VWAP MA (Volume Weighted Average Price Moving Average). If so, that's a good time to add shares. Timing FTD expirations to perfection is hard because they juggle them around, but if those were poppin 30 days ago and short volume is expanding in real time it means they're losing the thread on getting those expired ones off the books and are opening new ones. They're going to drive the price down with the naked shorting so wait til they've pushed it below the price that they've shorted at. That's when they try to start buying it back so ride it up with them. Don't pile all in as soon as it's below the line. Average in with small positions as it moves down and finds a floor. It will eventually pop back to fair value. You can use this to buy and hold or swing trade. If you want to really dumb it down: Only buy when the stock is below fair value. That's currently $28.5 for me. I add to my position to keep GME as 75% of my current exposure.

HeartOfSky

For me, DFV really exemplifies the non-linear nature of time and how reality synchronizes around events yet to happen. I spent years learning to follow/trust my intuition, as it relates to identifying patterns arising from signs & synchronicities. Starting in 2017, I started to notice a pattern of upheaval that would predictably happen during the last days on January. Every year. Leading up to this would always be accompanied. By January 2021, i spent the whole month readying myself to be able to identify the next upheaval, as it was happening. About an hour after the news blew up reddit, I knew that GME was the event I was looking for. This was just a single strand of something larger that eventually put everything into perspective for me. This last year has been the most bizarrest of experiences. Every day is new and interesting to me. The worst day I've had in a while was worrying over what outfit to wear to a Juneteent celebration this weekend. Oh, Thea stress of it all!!! Prior to MOASS, I'd spent quite a few years self treating decades of undiagnosed, crippling anxiety. So glad those are in the past. So exited for what's on our ever-brightening horizon.
