We don't have much in terms of any kind of robust or highly-watched money show here in Canada. We pretty well just piggyback off of U.S. outlets like CNBC.dualstow wrote: ↑Mon Jan 18, 2021 6:50 pm Me neither. Sorry, SmithersWe must all seem really old to you. But I *am* glad you’re enjoying.
If that’s about Jim Cramer on cnbc i can’t stand him, but not because he’s Gollum. It’s because he talks about his wife’s restaurant and Italy or his dad & baseball or some inside joke that Carl and David have to explain. And maybe a few words about stocks — usually how he met the CEO. Unwatchable. Bloomberg & Fox Biz are better. What do they watch in Canada?
Tell me in another thread if you want.
Huh, I never realized that. Kind of sad.

Three logisticians just finished dinner, and the waitress comes up and asks "do y'all want dessert?"
The first logistician says "I don't know." The second also says "I don't know." The last says "yes, we would."

And even though i think I get it, it doesn’t make sense. EDIT- oh, wait, yes it does. How great.

Smithers, is the basic idea that big Wall Street investors short-sold GameStop stock because they thought the company was about to go bankrupt, but then a group of activist investors on Reddit (r/wallstreetbets) who had fond memories of GameStop and wanted to keep it alive decided to fight back by going long on the stock, thus creating a short squeeze that's now screwing over the Wall Street short-sellers?Kriegsspiel wrote: ↑Fri Jan 22, 2021 3:45 pmThinking of youuuuuuuuu.Smith1776 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 18, 2021 4:50 pm LOL. https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets ... er_is_not/

I'm guessing that Smithers found the rant itself humorous, as I did, rather than whatever it was trying to say but he can speak for himself.pp4me wrote: ↑Fri Jan 22, 2021 4:47 pmTortoise wrote: ↑Fri Jan 22, 2021 4:25 pmSmithers, is the basic idea that big Wall Street investors short-sold GameStop stock because they thought the company was about to go bankrupt, but then a group of activist investors on Reddit (r/wallstreetbets) who had fond memories of GameStop and wanted to keep it alive decided to fight back by going long on the stock, thus creating a short squeeze that's now screwing over the Wall Street short-sellers?Kriegsspiel wrote: ↑Fri Jan 22, 2021 3:45 pmThinking of youuuuuuuuu.Smith1776 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 18, 2021 4:50 pm LOL. https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets ... er_is_not/

That reddit post has now been censored so let that be a lesson to those who post memes providing only links to the original. Better to do what Smithers did and provide the image and/or the gist of a story before somebody takes it down.

Honestly guys, I don't know EXACTLY how Gamestop became the mega meme stock it did. Really, by Wall Street Bets' own admission, they are not a very well coordinated group. I imagine the fervour around the stock rose organically through the subreddit's various discussions.
If I had to guess, it probably started with the user u/deepfuckingvalue sharing with everyone how he made a massive call option bet on the company. When the bet paid off it became the meme-ist of meme stocks.
That said... GME TO THE MOOOOOOOONNNN.

No one believed me. No one. And there was no way to prove it.
These days, you could snap a photo of the crime with your phone and show it to the teacher.
Do students still use paper?
