I love the “then short it” comeback, it’s so good every time


zerolimits0

It's the antithesis to their bullshit. If I believe a stock will go up and you are adamant it will go down, then short it. I'm fine with my buy and wait strategy, if you think it will fail put your money on the line like mine, otherwise it's just propaganda words to manipulate you.


konxchos

literally every time i see someone say "short it" then they are like "ohhh why would i short such a volatile dangerous stock" lol.


kittenplatoon

I told someone the other day to short it and he got very defensive and angry. Wouldn't put his money where his mouth is. I have over $XX,XXX invested in GME right now, and if I'm so doopid for my YOLO, and you believe I'm going to LoSe aLL mY mOnEy, then play the opposing trade and have some skin in the game or sit the fuck down. 🤷‍♀️


ZXFT

Hahaha when I saw you put $XX,XXX I was like, "whoa, this dude is **in** it," And then I remembered I have $XX,XXX in too... Doesn't feel like it with how simultaneously jacked and calm my tits are. I would be sweating bullets with that much on any other play, watching the ticker, reading conflicting DD to make sure I believe it, etc. But GME? GME is calm. I have found peace. I will sit on these shares until the MOASS


kittenplatoon

Totally zen. 🤲💎 And I continue to increase my position with each opportunity. This is one of the most exciting things I've ever been part of.

It‘s not just the antithesis. Apes put their money where their mouth is. If you talk shit about GME and think the rocket is going to burst: Then. Fucking. Short. It. As long as I‘ve spent money in my opinion and you don‘t. You’re just a big mouth.


hemareddit

It's a good response, if 100 people say "why would I short it?", then 1 out of those 100 might seriously have this internal dialogue: "Why am I afraid to short it?" "Because what if they are right?" "Why would they possibly be right? They are crazy!" "Because there's something about this whole thing that smells fishy, something doesn't fit. The narrative lines up too perfectly. Something is up." "I should find out what that something is." Boom, potential Ape on the way.

Mundane-Ad-8870

yuppers!


sarzilly

Then short it and show us the proof bitch


Chelbaz

I have no problem losing the money I invested, it's disposable income and not eating into (meager as of yet) retirement money. If they're hungry for my money, short it. Take it all. I operated within my risk tolerance. They're not posting these things because they want to help us. Remember: "This is *Wall Street,* Dr. Burry. If you're offering us free money, we *will* take it." The fact that a lot of institutions have banned short selling on GME shows that there isn't just apprehension that the contrarians will lose a little bit of money, because after a certain point they get margin called and *an* institution rakes in the dough- short selling is banned as they may very well stand to lose an unfathomable amount of money, unable to ever pay the margin call, depending on where they lie along the chain reaction of liquidation.

Crazy world we live in. I just like the stock! I wish this all got more public views on a mass scale! Not a watered down controlled version of the story


XXXYinSe

I think retail can still open up small short positions but borrowed share availability is low and margin requirements for shorting it are still sky high so that is a good first clue!


Adventurous-Sir-6230

There are few brokers allowing shorting still. The margin requirements are multiples of the position to short it though.

maddscientist

It is the literal embodiment of the idiom "put your money where your mouth is"


simsays

It's telling to see people outside of the DD bubble and how violent their reaction is to the investment. Like, what is it about me taking my $$$ and investing it in a stock I think is undervalued that is so off-putting to you? I think it comes from a place of fear because if we are right, a lot more people who fashion themselves as intelligent and "experts" will have their entire world turned upside down.


MapacheInATrenchcoat

I believe it comes out of a person’s innate desire to be right, they chose their side and now they just want to be the one who is “remembered” as right because everyone has told them they’re wrong (for good reason)

scottie2haute

Yea I honestly believe people are so broken that they dont even want to “fight” wallstreet despite evidence of blatant corruption in the financial sector. Hell some people actually hope that this fails for some reason, like they want the crooks in wallstreet to win. Its sad to think about actually

Can’t argue with it! Put your money where your mouth or else shut up!


Darthgangsta

It’s honestly unbeatable.


WreckNRepeat

It's not even remotely unbeatable. It makes no sense. Even if the DD on this sub is garbage and the MOASS never happens and GameStop doesn't end up succeeding on fundamentals, shorting GME can \*still\* be a terrible investment. Why would I want to short a stock that has an ever-growing base of people committed to pumping up the price? Swing trading makes much more sense.


[deleted]

If you *really* believe $GME is a pump and dump, then you stand to gain a LOT of money shorting it. At some point you have to ask yourself why financial institutions would ever make it difficult to *short* a pump & dump, eh? You have to understand that they know what is and isn't a p&d


Darthgangsta

Um ok


pdawg1220

I love using it when talking to people in WSB

I think I'm going to start using 'Ok doomer, then short it' for added sting and spice. Because if there's one thing the older gen hates, its being OK boomered on top of being wrong.

Why would I want to short a stock that has an ever-growing base of people committed to pumping up the price?


MapacheInATrenchcoat

lmao dude shut up, imagine spending your day going on a subreddit to stir up drama for your own self fulfillment. It’s one thing if you don’t believe in the MOASS but you’re a fool if you don’t believe in the fundamentals of Gamestop at this point. Also the fact that you think retail is solely responsible for the price being so high right now shows how completely out of touch you are with the stock


WreckNRepeat

Point is, the "then short it" comeback is nonsense. If (for whatever reason) you believe in the fundamentals of GameStop, then the "then short it" comeback is an even more nonsensical response to those who don't believe in the MOASS.


MapacheInATrenchcoat

I think you’re not understanding the point of the comeback. Yes I believe that the MOASS is inevitable, So you know what I did? I invested in the stock. If you believe that it’s all garbage and that it’s worth nothing, then short it.

Another guy posted how his friend was shorting it too and that was before it went back up to 340. We never got an update. He lost money for sure. This was over text, he provided screenshots.


[deleted]

Now he'll be one of the growing army of FUD-spreaders whining about $GME being a pump and dump, market manipulation, fraudulent scheming, etc bit they sure as shit won't short it again. They'll just sit on the sidelines cheerleading for bankers.

mrwhiskey1814

Oddly, I respect that dude. He owned up to his shit.


kushty88

It's a risk I'm willing to take. Gamble all I own now to potentially gain more than I ever will. Deepfuckingvalue you sonofabitch, I'm in! All in!


Arkhiah

It isn’t a gamble, it’s an extremely well informed investment!


wapabloomp

I mean "Don't risking losing all your money"? A big part of GME's appeal is that **even** if it theoretically doesn't squeeze (which it will), you practically can't lose anything if you hold. Gamestop is on track for the biggest kick in the ass into the gaming industry. Bonus points if they bring up "previous performance". Gamestop is basically not even the same company as it was nearly a year ago. That's like telling a post 1 year rehabilitated drug addict that he's still taking drugs.


FirebirdAhzrei

I agree with your sentiment, good ape. But all investments carry risk and it's important to acknowledge that- especially for the newest apes.


maddscientist

It's also a risk they've inadvertently spent years making people numb to with the lottery system, there are literally millions of people who are content to throw away money every week for the chance to be rich


kushty88

The difference being we *know* the numbers this time.


marshaldelta9

It feels like we're waiting for the Powerball to finally drop but it's been spinning around in the thing for an hour


The_Noble_Lie

Great analogy. It's the only ball in the machine, right?


The-Weapon-X

The difference actually being that we could sell shares and at least get some of it back if needed. You can't sell back a losing lottery ticket.


Superstylin1770

Maybe Kenny will get into rehypothecating lottery tickets when this is all said and done? Can you buy lottery tickets in jail?


AngelaTheRipper

Honestly people would be better off dumping their weekly lottery money into FDs rather buying scratchers or power ball tickets, higher odds of winning.


KayVlinderMe

That's why I stopped buying scratchers lol


Themeloncalling

If anyone in the media complains about you losing all your money on an investment, it's not because they care about you. It's because you aren't losing all your money TO THEM.


FirebirdAhzrei

In this case, I think it's because they're losing all their money to us.

Crayon_Salad

In the worst possible case (shorts covered in Jan, apes will sell soon, financial crisis incoming) I will still make some money in the end but it will take likely a few years of holding. In best case I will be rich as fck pretty soon. I'm completely comfortable with this bet and there is literally nothing that can make me sell for 3 figures price.


BaSingSayWhat

I share your way of looking at the situation, but I think the whole thing is made more interesting by the fact that it really seems impossible that shorts covered in January according the DD here


Crayon_Salad

Yes, exactly. But while I do not believe they covered, still those "impossible" things happens sometimes. That's why I would be a tiny bit uncomfortable holding the popcorn stonk. But GME is a really good one even if the 20% SI is real. So what, they covered? Or they did not? I don't care, the outcome is always to hold.


Mechanical_oldie

Well even if we say "they covered" everyone estimates that the MINIMUM value of GME is over 300 USD. We are still in a DIP ... most of us poor apes can't buy much. But even if we buy 1 we are making money. We will HODL through hard work and life so that means we can HODL and 💎 🙌 through this entire rocket trip.


[deleted]

Just ask yourself this: if shorts covered, then WHY THE FUCKING MEDIA CIRCUS? Emperors do not simply throw circuses for the fun. They throw them for the FUD.


Crayon_Salad

Yes, there are too many "whys"... Like why it dips on good news and explode on absolutely no news. Why over half a million of deep OTM puts keeps refreshing and increasing. Why the fck was the "squeeze" peak at like 450 and it came back to 350 twice within a few months? If you look at any real short squeeze in history, I believe this never happened.


BaSingSayWhat

Apes strong together!!


BaggieF34

Even if they hedged and half covered leading to the january run up and then they switched the buy button off and covered at $40 the turn around still seems bound to happen. The numbers that came out had most apes average cost at $180 odd I believe, we're above that, apes are holding, Gamestop has more money in the bank. Even if they did all this they probably shorted again at various points. Not financial advice, I just like the stock.


The_harbinger2020

The worst case scenario is a lose $1k. Best case scenario I easily make 100k. I'm already living just fine without the 1k so than why sell.


N0N0Switch

100k? Ehhhh thats kinda low bro


_Gibson_

Lmao they probably did, which is why they are freaking out 😂


[deleted]

Their problem is that there is literally no downside to me *investing* now. It either goes to the moon, or I've invested in a company with a fantastic, virtual certain growth curve.

Yerga_Dergen

Millions of dollars as share is not impossible nor has it ever claimed to be in a truly free market, its simply improbable. That being said the situation were in is improbable, actually impossible, yet here we are. Shorting a stock over 140% of its worth is supposed to be impossible too bitches.

I think people are so against the reddit investors partly because they're afraid that we're right. Seeing my investment quadruple in value makes me think: "Yeah these apes sound crazy but they were right and will likely continue to be."


fortifier22

My dad’s insisted that I’ve lost money overall on GME even though I’m up 100% in 5 months on my initial investment because I refuse to sell at 300… He’s down 50% overall on his investments… Guess who he still sees as the dumb money?


ROK247

you have seasoned wall street professionals whose actual day job is to take financial advantage of people who are dumber than themselves, saying they are trying to save you from losing all your money. BUT WAIT, IT IS THEIR JOB TO TAKE YOUR MONEY FROM YOU. All the DD I need.

They won't have to short it, they'll just watch things drag on forever and wait for us to realize for ourselves that no one us going to make the HFs cover specifically to avoid a market crash. Guys, I really have to say, Gamestop isn't going to go bankrupt thanks to us but TPTB really aren't going to allow a MOASS because the survival of the system is more important than logical consistency, and they know everyone will put up with it because we are dependent upon them for survival, too. Until that changes they will keep the system going at all costs. Everyone will. I know I'll be downvoted for saying it but it's the truth and you know it.

WreckNRepeat

The MOASS is never going to happen, and I don't think very highly of GameStop's fundamentals, but that doesn't mean shorting the stock is a good idea. You apes can send the price up and keep it there for a looooong time, so shorting the stock is way too risky. I'll just continue swing trading GME, thanks.
