Yeah but they made it seem like retail started selling when the Volume Went down, never mind the Short interest and Utilization still High and no one Covered, in theory !
Gamestop was never a bubble. It's a short squeeze play. Interesting how there is no mention of naked shorting here or how it's been happening continuously over the past year. Currently there is a movement to remove the shares one by one from the stock market and once there is a critical mass (it's already over %25) GME is going to go parabolic. Notice the insane returns of TSLA? Not a bubble, its a short squeeze.
Disengnuous at best, more like complicent. Of course it was a short squeeze bailed out by the SEC, with new rules last week to protect hedge funds further. The sooner people know it's rigged the better. But with this type of white washing most people will never know how they are getting screwed at every turn.
Agree and disagree. Agree with, that it was a Short Squeeze and also there was illegal naked shorting involved. They 2 go hand in hand. Regarding "it was never a Bubble". Depends on the definition of a "bubble" and on the defintion of "value" and which metrics you use to determine value.

Speculators create bubbles because their actions have a zero sum effect, people who desires the asset because of the value are the ones that stabilizes a market. So if a market has more speculators than value seekers then it is a bubble XD
For sure. How do they conviniently forget to mention the increasing Directly Registered Shares (DRS) by individual retail investors which has only been increasing according to Gamestop's last quarter results, massive short interest, SEC Gamestop report that basically concludes that Jan 2021 price movements were not due to closing of short positions (which were officially about 200%+) etc.
At WSJ, I expected some economic literacy. Comparing GameStop to Bubbles is like comparing apples to oranges. GameStop was never a fundamental story, to begin with. The spike and the later pullback can be owed fully to the short squeeze. I wish at least at respectable institutions they had an ability to filter noise, and an ability to have a basic understanding of economics and stock exchanges.
It can be both, and it was. GameStop was absolutely a bubble. The short squeeze may have started it, but the vast majority of the price movement was because of a bubble
@@Antenox No Gamestop is not a bubble. If that is the case, then every short squeeze is a bubble. Incase of Gamestop, it had more than 100% of its float shorted which made it an extreme case. Bubble refers to mania where the people buying/selling believe that the fundamental story is strong, classic examples are Tulip mania, Railroad investments in the USA in the late 1800s, the 2008 Housing crisis, etc. They are different because it takes longer duration for them to build (i.e. years). First, people believe the story, then more people join in it and fundamentally believe in it and more and more people join. In each of these stories, there is a grain of truth in the story. i.e. House is beneficial ownership, especially in the American taxation system where most middle-class pay tax and take deductions, but they forgot the economic viability part. Gamestop, Sears (out of business), BedBathandBeyond, etc. are all more likely bankruptcy heading stories and people pile on the shorts and from time to time, the market maker and retail investors join in to raid the fundamental legitimate investors who shorted the company because of the lack of profits or any prospects of it in future.
or the downfall has only just begun and has much more space to fall, 3 years later when the Nasdaq is at 4000 they can come back and say: well, we told you so, but you moonboys didn't listen, so it's not our fault
@@cassinitakano5736 Let's see in a few months if we have rallied. Media cycle is short term. People will believe anything the media tells them, it's mob mentality. I do agree with you that in a few years we will probably be in the depths of the bear market, but not in the short term since everyone is bearish. Beautiful trade is working out amazingly right now and will only get better!
how is it hard to spot a bubble? when something worth that much suddenly within a relatively short amount of time rises up in price manifolds, in addition to its economic usefulness staying the same such as a house still a house, a tulip still a tulip, a piece of electronic art an electronic art, a company still the same company and so on, then it is a bubble. It's only hard to tell when you are one of the speculators, staring day and night at its rising price, in another word, being one among the herd, then surely it is hard to tell, for you are blinded by greed and fear (of missing out).
There is NOTHING WRONG with a bubble when it's created by voluntary exchanges without fraud/extortion at play. The issue we have are the bubbles created by government force, using non-voluntary exchanges, in which fraud and extortion are the norm.
First of all there is no such thing as voluntary exchange, people 300 years ago debated this and agreed to this but we still have free market nuts who don't understand econ 101. It's simple, it's not voluntary if you DON'T have the option to select NONE. When I buy anything, do I have the option to not buy it at all? There are few things that meet that criteria, things that don't, like food, cars(you are forced to buy a car because cities are made that way), electricity, a fridge, AC, A house, mostly everything you are FORCED to buy. So they're isn't really anything like voluntary exchange if you HAVE to buy it from atleast one competitor.
Seems now the thing can only go up is Bitcoin and its sort, and promoters of it attacking a lot of people who say negative things about it. But if Bitcoin is really a useful stuff and are trying to reach mainstream application, shouldn't its price going down like what happened in transistors instead of going up?
@@SoCalFreelance Two questions. I don’t understand either. APPL was undervalued for a long long time. During this time, Apple management, were, of course, absolutely right to buy stock. I wouldn’t say APPL has been undervalued for the last two year … but what do I know. Maybe they will release three killer product/services next month.
You can't compare the Tulip with Gamestop. Even when gamestop goes bankgrupt, it won't effect a thing in financial market. Of course lot s of college students will cry. But that's all.
For someone who has no clue about stock market, this explanation isn't all that easy to understand.. I know about market bubble hence i understand it easily
They’re talking about crypto without talking about it so the so the botsdon’t comment that they made $1,000,000 with Mr. Or Mrs. (insert an English common last name here) 😂😂😂😂😂
then you gotta need someone to read record and evaluate the stock price of every single products inside the country to avoid this bubbly situtation or ride the bubble then getout at the right time before it explode LOL this thing reminds me iof a snake and ladder game XD the financial bubble were the ladder and the snakes where pitfall for the wrong investment hehehe
Stocks are really more like tulips than bitcoin is. Since last week, there has been a strong push to imply that bitcoin is not worth anything. Even if it goes to zero, I will buy more of it. I know what the Wall Street is trying to do
From my own understanding, you need to invest wisely, if you need the good things of life. so far i've made over $470k in raw profits from just q4 of the market from my diversified portfolio strategy and i believe anyone can do it you have the right strategy. mutual funds takes a while but investing wisely is the key for short term. Most of us pay more attention to the easy position in the market to the cost of proper diversification.
My first investment with Ms. Lauren Jessica Florence gave Lynne profit of over $ 24,000 US and since then she has never failed to deliver and I can even say that she is the most sincere broker I have ever met.
The Dutch tulip bubble and meme stocks are 2 different types of bubbles.
didn't gamestop stock fall because trading platforms restricted its trading
shhh hedgefunds dont want you to know the insane amount of naked calls and short interest GME had
Yeah but they made it seem like retail started selling when the Volume Went down, never mind the Short interest and Utilization still High and no one Covered, in theory !
Also Total Return Equity Swaps that Bill Hwang of Archegos used. The CFTC postponed mandatory disclosures of swaps until 2023. Huh

GameStop is a short squeeze, the people who don’t want the squeeze to happen had a part in making this slam piece
Moass
Yeah they're just desperate at this point to make people believe the squeeze already came and went.

gamestop is going to $1 or lower
It’s hilarious how a religion can be formed around a dying brick and mortar video game retailer.
