US journalists are more likely to be insulated in liberal political bubbles in big cities that are growing “bluer” (Shafer & Doherty, 2017).

A large number of subs have been hacked and had their css changed to display pro-Trump messages. Apparently in some cases, moderators were removed from their subs by the hackers.

Is this basically the social media-ization of trading and are the populist forces thereby unleashed going to pretty much polarize and destroy the market? Asking for a friend.

I don't know what you mean, buying shares of companies you like and going long is the most endorsed and low risk investment advice they give to people wanting to invest in a forward looking market.

I haven't been following the GME story moment by moment, but my understanding (could be wrong) was that the "rationale" for GME surge purchasing was less belief in GME fundamentals and future and more "stick it to the man" punishing institutions/institutional investors, which I am analogizing (maybe stupidly) to "owning the libs" type social media shitposting.

no. It's a really underundervalued company, with a turnaround story and activist investors, that was being shorted into the ground/hoping for their bankruptcy.

I can't find the thread again this morning, but I saw a fairly compelling (for someone like me, who is not at all well versed in how these things work) thing on Twitter yesterday about how there is still a good chance that the reddit people could lose all their money on this. His basic approach was, "of course fuck the hedge funds and they get what they want, but it makes me sad to see folks on reddit posting about throwing their life savings behind this and potentially losing it all". I get how this move fucks over the funds that shorted Gamestop, but I'm not sure I understand how this could backfire on the redditors. If they just fail to pay attention and don't sell their stocks before the inevitable stabilization of the price?

I certainly take your word for it as I've not paid much attention until the last week and not much even then. I just have a hard time understanding how any mall retailer in 2021 that is not a luxury brand could be undervalued at any price.
― Smokahontas and John Spliff (PBKR), Wednesday, 27 January 2021 15:18 (three years ago) link
I probably know as much about the company as anyone, and it's a bad company in many ways but also is undervaluedI mean I don't know what stock values even mean like with stuff like Tesla etcthey do e-commerce as well I'm not saying it's a great company long term but it was always undervalued because it sells actual stuff that actual people buy not some grand vision of the future or w/ehttps://news.gamestop.com/news-releases/news-release-details/gamestop-reports-2020-holiday-sales-results

what r/wsb is doing is really funny to me, especially since you've got all these high-paid analysts on CNBC who are trying to understand what's going on but can't wrap their heads around the concept of shitposting. the fact that any online rando can trade without having to pay $8/transaction anymore lifts the barrier to stock trading and IMO kinda invites things like this to happen. obviously it's insane to see it so nakedly demonstrated that the thing we're sacrificing our lives and the future of our planet for is based on absolutely nothing but still, lmao
― frogbs, Wednesday, 27 January 2021 15:23 (three years ago) link
Xp Doesn't the price stabilizing (in this case completely crashing back down to reality) by definition mean that a lot of investors will lose a lot of money?
Idk much about it but it feels like bitcoin in 2017, when a bunch of early adopters made big profits and a boat load of late adopters lost money due to FOMO. Probably a lot of broke people right now who don't really know what they're doing downloading robinhood and looking at this stock like a lottery ticket when it might have already peaked

fuck I ordered a share when it was $200 last night, then this morning the order was rejected, so I put another 200 in when it was $273/share and now I'm up 4 bucks instead of $80
I also put $69 on a $8 call option (I learned all these words last night) and that one's up about 200% today, nice

xp to frogbs: It's been a while since I've fucked around with stocks. I was actually not terrible at it as a hobby, but was way too broke at the time I was most interested in it and kept having to sell my holdings to pay bills and shit. What do you mean by "any online rando can trade without having to pay $8/transaction anymore"?
― peace, man, Wednesday, 27 January 2021 15:27 (three years ago) link
isn't there another problem where a big part of this price surge is fueled by people buying options, not the stock itself? everything i've read about it gives me vague recollections of the "buying on margin" craze that crashed the market in '29
― tiwa-nty one savage (voodoo chili), Wednesday, 27 January 2021 15:29 (three years ago) link
this shit is fun as hell but seems like you have to be a total degen to want to do this all the time without some sort of expertise, the adrenaline is insane tho I'm extremely tilted that I had to buy 273 and not 200,
