Well, there’s nothing really to argue about: You can’t trust/study the fundamentals because they are all entirely disconnected from reality, everyone who got burned the first time needs to be willing to invest again and they also need to be at home during trading hours instead of back at work like they are now, and you’d need GameStop to not issue $1billion in new shares like they are talking about doing.

I’m not saying you can’t make money trading it. I’ve made plenty of money trading junk stocks. What I’m saying is that any investment into $GME rn is pure speculation and 100% risk.

There’s no “reading the charts” on this one because that wasn’t entirely what drove it up in the first place. In fact, there’s more misinformation out now than there was at the start of the mess so reading and research means zip.

If he’s comfortable and you’re comfortable with carrying a trade that is straight up risk I wish y’all all the best. But no, from every angle $GME is over and is going to slowly slide back to the $40s. You can most certainly nickle and dime some profit as it slides (which I would assume is actually what he’s doing) but I don’t get why anyone would want to carry that risk where there are an infinite number of better stocks to play. And from a time perspective the time spent nickle and diming could be time spent compounding interest on something solid.

And I take issue with you throwing age around. It means jack in the current market. Same for securities licenses. You know who also had securities licenses? The guys who lost billions.

I’m all for fun discussions about this stuff but if you’re going to throw elbows around I’m not going to hold punches.

But seriously, best of luck! You’re going to need it.
Not gonna argue this with you, since it's the hubby who's the smart one in this case. But I'm sure he would disagree with you that conditions are no longer in play.

But do trust me: he's been in the financial analysis world for longer than you've been alive. And he's doing a lot more research and reading on this (from all sides) than I'm sure you or I are.

It took him a while to convince me, and a lot of long conversations, but I'm willing to patiently wait for this to play out. And it hasn't yet played out.

But yeah, time will tell, either way. We're in no hurry.
Conditions are no longer in play for squeezers to squeeze. That’s how squeezes work. But sure, maybe I’m wrong and the retail investors left holding the bag will short themselves into another squeeze.

Actually, no, the squeezers are NOT long gone. Not by a long shot. Trust me. Hubby has had securities licenses in his semi-recent past, and this has been his only focus outside of work and sleep for months now. But whatever.

We’ve talked about you airing our conversations in public! Don’t come knocking at my bunker when the solar siZZles!
It’s all good. I got my mechanical watch all ready for when the quartz go belly up. Then again, I’ll probably have bigger problems than what time is lunch.

Yup, I don’t answer phones until they have rung precisely four times.
So you're not this guy, then:
I love it when users think we keep extra MacBooks just lying around.
