Everything You Thought You Knew About GameStop Was Wrong!

  • The SEC published its report on GameStop $GME this Monday, which focuses on the January 2021 trading activity of GameStop Corp (GME), the most famous of the "meme stocks." Because the meme stock episode raised several questions about market structure, the staff report also provides an overview of the equity and options market structure for individual investors.

      Patrick, what is the likelyhood of SEC being corrupt and these short sellers getting out at unrealistically low prices?
      I'm not saying that just because of this report, but I was assuming that would happen during the "short squeeze".
      My assumption is based on the fact that government agencies have proven to be corrupt, and the more money is on the line, the more likely such intervention would be.
      I don't know everything about mechanisms according to which prices are established and orders are filled, but I would assume that there are private bookies and a regulatory body like the SEC watching if they're calculating their prices according to supply and demand, and that they are executing trades where people who order are placed in exact time.
      I am, however, personally familiar with corruption in my country (Croatia), and our stock market, and no normal person would ever invest into our stock market unless they're insiders, politicians or crooks (which are all insiders).
      If I were a bookie, I would help my friend by changing the time stamp on his short cover. It would put him before the next buyer and everyone else would keep gambling.
      From what I understand, there is a 1-2 day period before the actual transaction happens. In that period, market makers can do whatever they want.

    I remember following GameStop discussion very closely on wallstreetbets at the time.
    I remember everyone was pretty much flying blind, however, this news is actually even better than what everyone expected. Because what it shows to me, is that the retail investors had much more influence on moving the market than what anyone expected, I think that is very important to consider when things like this happen in the future.

    Regarding NSCC & margin requirements. You were explaining that the NSCC were waiving margin requirements, and only increased it from Robinhood - so no conspiracy there. Yet, brokers kept restricting buying, not just Robinhood. What about Trading 212, WeBull, TDA, ..., and even boomer broker Interactive Brokers? CEO of IBKR even stated on CNBC that he will keep GME in PCO until it's reaching "reasonable value" again. He said that if they did not restrict buying, the share price would have gone into the thousands. So if there was no issue due to margin requirements, why did the brokers still keep the limitation up? And exactly this question should be answered as well, and hopefully getting prosecuted as well.
    The SEC report tries to be non-judgemental and tries to convey facts on what happened. Just saying that there was no conspiracy or market manipulation maybe a little early.

    • @pascalladal8125
      @pascalladal8125 2 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      First, they were not waiving margin requirements lol, margin requirements are.. a requirement. It's the ECP addtional charge it waived, for all brokers. Second, how having to add 6.9 billion collectively in margin requirement a definition of "no issue due to margin requirement"? "NSCC made intraday margin calls from 36...totalling 6.9 billion, bringing the total... to 25.5 billion". Third, I have to say I like how your logic work; Since Robinhood was treated differently, there is probably a conspiracy (you never wrote this but you made it pretty obvious it was your point through sarcasm). Totally ignoring the fact that a different treatment might be warranted due to its different exposure. Nah just throw that possibility in the garbage, it clashes with your opinion...

      The real thing to note is that they tiptoed around things that would lead to litigation. On purpose. Whatever the reason is, one should realize that that they're very aware of that line in the sand and that they know a lot more than they're letting on in the report.
      Whether they actually start dropping rules and fines is a different matter entirely. But pretending that everything is fine because they left that stuff out of the report is either fooling themselves, or trying to fool you.

    Also why did Robinhood and citadel lie to congress. Email leaks showed they spoke prior to the halting, and they said they didn't.
    Why allow to only sell but not buy, why not stop all trading. And why did other platforms outside if robinhood also stop the ability to buy?

      Burry also updated later with a negative sentiment on meme stocks. RH and Citadel didn't lie, Griffin specifically said they spoke. What he said was they did not instruct RH to shut down trading. It wasn't just buying that was disabled, some brokers moved to position close only which means no new positions could be opened.

      @@thomaslgregoryjr its not that the SEC doesnt know, its that by stating there were naked shorts the SEC would be complicit in not enforcing reguations on the market maker. Its a nothing burger of a report. Only thing it confirms is shorts did not cover evidened by the volume vs the maximum "reported" short interst of 140% of the float. Compair this to the legal documents agaist Robinhood of 226% short and what you have is a confirmation short could not have closed and the market maker has joined in clearing these short positions. The graph shows it. Also reguardless of the volatility you cannot halt trading on a public stock unless under investigation by the SEC, and thats your opening to a conspiracy right there.

    so wait, if over 140% of the shares were sold short and then the price spiked up, not because of shorts buying back what they borrowed, but instead due to a bunch of people buying and holding it because they like the stock, and there was never a short squeeze or a gamma squeeze... then how could that many shorts possibly close out and get more shares than exist without buying them? and what made the price go down to $40 right afterwards?
    unless most of the short positions still exist unreported that is, and now there are even more of them, naked shorts, yeah.

      before the spike up in price, most shares were held by institutions, after the stock price spiked most of the gme shares are held by individuals.

      @@menamgamg yeah, what Alex is trying to say is that institutions had no desire to short squeeze and were happy to just make their money. The short sellers would then have stock to cover some of their positions. But after that happens, where does the stock go? Back to whomever they borrowed it from in the first place. And if that was those same institutional investors, they’d be selling that same stock again at an even higher price. Unraveling a 140% short squeeze situation doesn’t always mean that the price goes to infinity. Doing that requires that the stock can’t be bought at any price because there are no sellers willing to sell. But if the majority of the stock was still held by normal institutional investors who have no desire to “hold no matter what” and will just sell, the position can be unraveled without the short sellers being completely destroyed. Just… lightly toasted.

    Thank you for your insight here. I find it odd though how this investigation didn't include conflict of interest
    One of my complaints regarding the Gamestop fiasco was how Citadel, a market maker, had financial ties with these companies such as Melvin Capital holding short positions. It was in their interest that Melvin Capital made back their money. I can't see how that's not a conflict of interest.
    Of course people were going to speculate that the difficulties surrounding the buying (but not selling) of gamestop shares had ulterior motives. Citadel as a market maker should not have financial incentives towards any one player in the market. This needs to be looked into much more thoroughly.
