stock market was up today...


Okay, now that you are clear on the facts, understand this: The market ran out of liquidity today, or was threatening to get close enough that they killed it. What does that mean? It means they ran out of shares and/or capital. They wouldn't let you buy new shares because we were burning through all the shares on the market.

I saw an unsubstantiated post from a user (u/zshub) who said a market sell order executed at $2600 for him. Also, someone else for over $5,000 per share. Do you get the severity of the situation, if that's true? It means the buying was getting to the point where it was just about to put INFINITE pressure on the price of the shares. It means virtually any ask was getting bid.

How do you get infinite upwards pressure? A gamma squeeze triggering the mother of all short squeezes, just like we predicted. The call writers need shares to hedge. Retail is still buying more. The short sellers need over 100% of the float back. Add these together. There were more shares needed than existed on the open market. That's what a liquidity crisis is.

Everyone does realize that this will crash hard right? Yes you screwed some hedge funds over. A ton of stupid people will lose their ass.
Their theory atm is if they hold the line and refuse to sell the hedge funds attempting to cover hit a wall of basically infinite price and die. I have zero dogs in this fight but I'm really looking forward to seeing what happens.
 
This is bad no matter who wins.

No matter what, I see public filings of shorting being nixed in the future to protect the hedge funds. Otherwise, this will happen again and be even bigger.

Too bad they won’t likely do the logical thing and establish limits on shorting or at least severely punish those that ignore the existing rules.

I made a quick $250 last night off of Dogecoin. Jumped from 4 cents to 8 cents in less than 2 hours. Just threw a little at it mainly because I was entertained by the crazy Redditors and dipped out.
 
I can't wait for the Biden brain trust to address this. He better toe the line or his mob will get pointed back at him.
