So what is the end game for all these Gamestop theatrics? Are they waiting for the short sellers to go bankrupt or something? Is Gamestop that likeable of a company? I don't play video games so this all seems like a lot of fuss over an ailing retailer with mediocre turnaround prospects.

Monkeys are horrible creatures. Why do people care more about this than sweatshops or inhumane labor practices? Plus, the allegations are ridiculous and false given the scale of production involved, but whatever...

As others have pointed out here, the minute you're dealing with a short squeezed meme stock that has media attention, you're going to be in a desperate race not to be the bagholder.

Iron Crowned posted:I always said that the original OWS didn't go far enough. It was just a bunch of broke millennials hanging out making things unseemly to the wealthy until they got the cops to clear them out on horseback. I don't know if it needed to get violent, but it was easily ignored, which is the worst fate for a protest movement. I worked in the area and OWS wasn't that disruptive after the first couple of weeks. I heard various bankers/traders kind of whining about how they didn't get it and how OWS participators would use the public spaces of the buildings of the very institutions they were protesting against for chilling out, but that was it. Sometimes you'd have to walk around a bunch of teenagers chanting silly stuff like "poo poo's hosed up and bullshit!" but you'd get to the Starbucks or wherever eventually and then it was back to a normal corporate drone day. It turned into background noise after a while. I felt bad for a lot of people who were trying to camp out there because it was looking very dirty and unpleasant. And it sounds like various reports about safety and sexual assaults were overblown, but it didn't look very safe at Zuccotti Park. https://www.businessinsider.com/truth-about-crime-at-occupy-wall-street-2011-11 And another issue with protesting near Wall Street is that most of the big banks, financial institutions and law firms work in midtown...

Agean90 posted:because the point is a make a bit of money quickly and spite a hedge fund at the same time. you can do that with just 50 dollars, where as doing long term poo poo with it gets you jack. I was just thinking even some individual stock picking could fun thrills for people. And it doesn't necessarily have to be super long term or in obscure stocks. If you got into something like NVIDIA or AMD this time last year, I think you'd be up more than 100%, but I'm sure if you sold earlier you could at least get, like, some marginal gain and then you'd just churn like that for shits and giggles. And there's always other forms of YOLO day trading like penny stocks.

SPACs seem like a good hustle if you have the time, but from that thread and other places I've read, you basically have to stay on your toes to make sure you aren't the last bag holder. And the whole allure of SPACs for many businesses is the fact that they are less transparent and prone to inconvenient questions by knowledgeable investors than IPOs, so you basically have great soil for fraud (or at least extremely misleading puffery). I don't think I have the energy for it.

I like the Silver Surfer. Honest Thief posted:dumb question but with all speculative bubbles where does the money come from? ..i dunno is it all just credit, there's no actual liquidity running this is it? To a certain level, I think it's just people in a cycle of selling at eye-catching prices that then lead more people to buy in with the hope of selling on quickly to someoen else. The 90s comics bubble wasn't fueled by anything crazy from a financing standpoint. You just had a lot of people thinking they were making "investments" by padding their collections, which in turn led to them being willing to accept higher prices or otherwise buy stuff they wouldn't have normally because they were sure they'd get a profit later on. The assumption was that someone else was always going to be the bag holder and you were going to get out in time. Poco posted:Wasn't a huge part of the bubble starting a couple of estate sales/private auctions where someone WAY overpaid for some older comics (Action #1/Detective #28) that weren't in particularly good condition? And speculators were looking for the next "first appearence of Superman" comic? Those sales might have had something to do with it, but I also think the 90s was when a certain age of collector finally had them money to indulge in their own nostalgia for late silver age and bronze age comics. It was more like getting big money for the first appearance of Wolverine or going on a rampage to buy up all of Jim Lee's or Tom McFarlane's runs with a certain title. And comics were also finally getting printed on great paper and you had a whole generation of artists (who were overblown in retrospect) who fit the zeitgeist and were willing to make a big publicity splash to sell their stuff.

net work error posted:I appreciate the goon's youth comic book stories. An interesting look at being inside the bubble and managing to kind of make it out. I think much of what you're seeing is a generational shift. Silents and boomers are slowly dwindling away and now it's Gen Xers who get to chase their memories on the auction block. And as far as the Civics go, I think that's definitely nostalgia for 90s Japanese cars. Think of guys like the Regular Car Reviews guy, but with more money to spend. He just came out with this and I've noticed more people hankering for these cars, at least in enthusiast circles. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Gwd6EqHfsc Auto enthusiast culture is changing. Maybe that's due in big part to decent muscle cars inflating beyond any degree of affordability. People are moving on to other things both due to price and having different memories and upbringings. The scene around old Mercedes wagons is mindblowing. I've also read some commentary that older people are realizing that they can't deal without certain modern conveniences anymore (like better suspensions and EFI) and it's leading people either to spend lots of money for restomodding or getting into more recent 80s and 90s cars. Anyway, at the risk of getting all E/N, I'm seeing my own dream of a Jaguar XJS slipping beyond my reach now. It's probably for the best. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZzDbkQohigY

BornAPoorBlkChild posted:come again? That wasn’t directed at you. I’ve just noticed that a lot of the “FIRE” gurus (especially the “lean FIRE” people) get very touchy when people point out how sparse the lifestyle they advocate has to be in order to make “retiring early” a reality. They often start saying their idea of “retirement” is “working at a job you like” as opposed to what many people would assume retirement is, which is, you know, not working at all.
