2021 Stock Market

what i still don't understand is the number of shares purchased to make this happen. GME has a float (available shares) of about 50,000,000 shares. that's a lot of buying to force the price up.

I wonder what role high frequency traders/computers have had on this effect. I am sure one of the criteria that those programs use would be volume.
 
Thanks for that, it helped even more. Can you expand/link on the bold part, and also do you think that may be been the genesis for this?

Goodness that's a great interview. Chamath is so clear and concise in his answers - and the CNBC guy basically responds as if he's saying the sky is green...

then at 8-9 minutes in the CNBC guys decides that the government is the problem because the regulators didn't stop it - when CNBC's whole ******* motive is to destroy regulation.
 
This is actually a great question and one of the first that popped into mind. I'm sure there will be an investigation. "Pump and dump" has been going on for decades across the penny stock world. You take a position, then convince everyone else it's an amazing company, push the stock price up, then you bail before anyone realizes the mistake they've made. This just takes that random chat room and makes it global.
It's actually called being a whale. A lot of super rich Chinese people have been known to do it to the US market on penny stocks
 
it's up 40% today.

so i just got a tax from from ally and guess what? i own 25,000 shares of CPPRQ (the new JCP) at a cost of .216 that i forgot about. so i'm way down and could use come help!
Yea I bought 100 shares slight after it came out that someone had bought JCP and said he was going to bring them back. Got them at like .4 and it hasn't done anything but tank since. Oh well. It's only 40 bucks, but man if they brought that one up, i would be very happy haha

there was mention of an old rich DB that held millions(?) of shares and I suspect it was a way for him to make money off of penny/nickel moves while keeping GameStop alive.

That interviewer couldn’t of looked much worse.

the thing about the questions is that the host was trying to get Chamath to justify that the companies "deserve" to be at a certain stock price. Which is ******** - it's a story they tell themselves, but it's all made up.

this appears to be to tear the mask off the stock market and expose it as a joke. a "game" as the host kept saying.

Agreed. The value is what the market says it is. That interviewer did not leave a good impression

He started noticing this trend in 2019. He took options and stocks and kept rolling into more and more as the price went up. Started at 53k. He might be close to 50mill+ at the end of today.

He was always just posting away on WSB but then Michael Burry (IRL Christian Bale from Big Short) came in and saw the same **** and that was the first big bump to 14. Then Ryan Cohen came in and became a board director and that started the chain reaction back in December until now. Somewhere around the first week of January there was the Melvin Capital group that came out publicly and said GME was a bad investment (after already losing their shorts at the end of December). That riled up the crowd as the methodically moved up. The a quick short squeeze followed by a gamma squeeze followed by this current swell is where we are today.
