It's funny though, on my run this morning I was thinking how I hope the next week is rather boring, for my monthly financial check-up.  So much for that.

 
Reckoning is only beginning.  I'm reduced to 50% equities.  Probably should have gone to zero based on my gut having seen this movie play out 4 times in my life.  Rampant speculation and greed without fundamentals leaves many holding the bag when it crashes.  I was already there with the ridiculous valuations, rush to IPOs, acquisitions left and right.  Everyone rushing to cash in now for good reason. They know it's ending. This GameStop and AMC lunacy is the exclamation point.  Good luck all.  Gonna be some big winners and some big losers.  Make a ton and remember us little guys!

 
Once this casino rush ends, where are the new millionaires going to ultimately park their money or will they gamble it away before it can get into a safer place.  Feel like we need to get ahead of this transfer of wealth and pick some winners.

What are the stocks they love on that subreddit.

They seem to have a hard on for Lisa Siu so AMD is a good bet. TSLA seems to have an army on that site.  PLTR has been the flavor for a few weeks now.

 
Long: 

Was waiting for the market to dip after the inogeration hype before plowing in yearly back door Roth money. 7K each after they both dropped +5% today.  

NEE - top 50 S&P company to try and take advantage of green energy under the new admin. 

ARKG - healthcare and genetics ETF that should benefit from years of viruses and vaccines. 

 
This was honestly a top 5 exciting day for me, over the last 10 months. Pretty ####### sad but I'm appreciative. 
Same and honestly a big reason why I’m in for  more tomorrow. Let’s get it. 
 

BTW Barstool is starting to pump this now too. I think we will see the hype train make at least 1 more big run at AMC. If it can’t get there though, we may be in trouble holding all these “next up” stocks. We’ll see. I think it could go either way, but we will know the winner of this battle soon. 

 
Here's my take. After hours, wallstreet bets was taken down and it caused panic. Media outrage ensued. The site was restored and the rise began. Tommorrow blood will be in the air. You can't stop the shorts 
Here is DD explanation from the reddit thread. 

WHY GME IS DOWN AFTERHOURS: Hedge fund managers, Short sellers, and Market Makers are using their extended hour trading to scare retail traders (You) off. Most retail traders (You) lack the ability to trade before and after the market opens/closes. This is why it is currently down. Once retail traders (You) are able to get back in at market open tomorrow, this will again go up. This is an attempt to scare ppl away from the stock. It will happen every single evening for the next several days so be prepared for this. If it is to stressful for you, please put away your phone/computer and check again in the morning.

 
Everyone getting rich off GameStop?

sound fundamentals, lots of folks these days needing to go buy their super Mario brothers in person  
In fairness to GameStop, they have more cash on hand than they have debt and disc based systems in the new generation of consoles seem to be more popular than the all digital versions despite being more expensive. I think their current business model is ultimately doomed, but I also don’t think that the company itself was in danger of going under imminently unless the shorting hedge funds forced them under. 
Now would be a great time to issue a lot of new shares and maybe buy something with a bit more a future. But, yeah, physical games still have a lot of appeal.

I’m with you. I’m old enough to remember this movie. 

 
Here's a snippet from a WSB postL

people are looking at the other most shorted stocks aside from $GME. And that's $AMC, $SPCE, etc. See how much they're up right now.

Now. SPCE is a really interesting one. A short attack with Musk as the general? I'll be buying  SPCE tomorrow

ETA

Oops. Musk is SpaceX. Richard Branson is the SPCE founder and get this, Chamath Palihapitiya is the chairman. If you saw or read the Chamath interview on CNBC, you know he would love to go to war on the shorts. I'm going in big tomorrow

Tempting, I wanted to get in this one when it was in the 20s but never pulled the trigger.

I think I'll just wait for the crash back into the 20s and then buy and hold.

Just making a mental note to do a deeper dive in the near future into:

ARNC

EVOP

EVTC

PRG

HEI

...considering buys if there are further, significant drops from today's levels.

 
Funding for rural internet is running out quickly here in Texas and with no infrastructure in place, they'll have to turn to the skies

 
Every dollar in the American economy must be plunged into GME

YOLO! 
That's what it feels like though, right? Like people are selling legit companies to pile into this meme stock short attack chase. I just sent more cash to TDA, I'll just keep buying. 

I was reading an article the other day (chrome on my phone crashed and now I can't find it) talking about how right now is similar to WW2 with record high savings, record low debt, increased income (for white collar workers) and pent up demand. Similar conditions resulted in a boom era in the 50s and 60s. 

 
They shut it down because they repeatedly violated the TOS with pron and hate speech. Nothing to do with buying and selling stocks. 
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂.  That’s completely bull crap and you and everyone else knows it.  THE MAN lost and swung his big stick in a hissy fit.  I bet WSB and others swing back hard tomorrow.  Chamath, Barstool Sports, Elon Musk, and millions of others think so.

Maybe.

Then again there's been 10 of these dumb events in the last 2 months and every time everyone thought it was the top and the bubble was about to pop.  If you'd sold then you'd probably have missed out on 60% gains over the last two months to try and avoid a 10% drop.

Eventually people will be right about the pullback but so far anyone that has bet on it has lost hugely in opportunity cost.

:goodposting: . We're printing money right now and mailing it out to every American. We're on guard to not let the economy fall.  We wont pull back until the dust settles with the virus which might be years, or never.

Ah my specialty.  

So, I've been following WSB for a long time.  It used to be a place where people put everything they had on 1 bet (roughly) and posted their gains and or losses.  losses are upvoted just as much as gains.  Like a casino brag.

Before GME hit front page news, I saw that WSB was all over it, and I didnt understand exactly how the GME infinite short squeeze worked,..etc.  SO I passed.   

BUT.  I figured all these guys would want to invest in the next big thing after they pulled out the gains.  SO I bet on 

BB

and NOK

I've been in PLTR (My number 3 for awhile)

I didnt expect any to start to boom untill GME hit $420 or $1000, or Friday.  Then I think all these dudes put thier money into the next big thing.

AMC was also on my list.  The fact is, it's blowing up because ELon Musk went onto a discord server (WSB?) and said it's where to go to next.  So, it jumped to the top.

These are all momentum plays IMO.

I'm also an idiot, so take it for what its worth.

HOLDING and keeping PLTR, BB, and NOK until at least Friday.

If you want to see what is popular on WSB.  Look here.  IMO, get in before the run up

I do not think I recovered from the euphoria of having almost a 50% trading day and owning a stock that had the performance of KOSS in less than 24 hours.  What a day.  Buying another 1K shares of NOK at 7AM.  Still holding AMC KOSS BB GME but trimmed back those positions and will not be adding to them.  Also sold GEVO today.

I’m with you. I’m old enough to remember this movie. 
What movie did you guys see where interest rates were at all time lows and the gov't was flooding us with money and a pandemic took away our ability to blow money on vacations and bars?  While I agree with you that there are segments that are high, but their are hundreds of companies with solid valuations at historical norms.  On top of that, the giants are delivering earnings above expectations.  Personally I'm up 10% on the year 2021 after today and the SP500 sits where it did on Jan 1.  Too risky to be sitting out waiting for a pullback.
