so there are 25.6m shares of GME apparently, which means at $300 a share the market cap is $7.7B. That's not even that much! Apparently this dipship hedgefund that started this all was worth twice that, and GameStop employs something like 60k people and has hundreds of stores all over the nation.

How have hedge funds lost $70B? Looking at just the number of shares this should have just been a $7B windfall for a bunch of internet posters, but now it looks like it is going to drag down the entire financial system.

I love that being locked out of meme stocks made all that money spill into dumb poo poo like silver plays and 3rd rate crypto

The best is that at first they kept locking whichever stock the meme money moved to which resulted in like American Airlines being halted. We've somehow gone from what should have been the failure and redistribution of a single hedge fund that made a really bad bet out to the masses into the concept of stocks themselves being destroyed.

leverage. they took out loans for a bet with infinite risk (losses arent capped with shorting). their losses arent linear down to 0, they're exponential and can go very very negative

as for how these people got billions of dollars in low interest loans for their stupid stupid bet :capitalism:

losses on a short squeeze are exponential the closer your short position was to zero relative to how high the current stock price is

$6 short for a $240 stock is a 4000% loss while a $120 short on a $240 stock is only a 200% loss

combine that with the 140% short stake at that almost zero price and math just exponentially hosed them by an exponential factor

If I want to get in on the class war, what platforms are no-fees (or whatever particular advantage it was that made this accessible to the little people) like Robinhood but not shadily defending hedge funds?

A friend says Vanguard is no-fee, but I know there are different kinds of fees and I'm not sure if he comprehensively knows what he's talking about.

does it matter? the fees are like a buck or something per trade and youre trying to get in on something thats supposedly a rocketship.
