A bunch of online people pumping a stock to fuck with hedge fund corps sounds super cyberpunk. 

The key thing to keep in mind is that, regardless of the wackiness of what’s going on on the /r/WSB board, the strategy here is ironclad-solid: Short-sellers got overexposed, over-bet on a struggling company to go bust faster than they naturally would, got surprised by good news, and are being pantsed as they’re…

I’ve read that some of the firms/corps that were shorting Gamestop and getting fucked over now are the ones we bailed out back in ‘08. The funds that bankroll some sports teams are involved too. I say good. Just another crack/hole exposed in this stupid system where the “economy” is booming, but people have no money

Josh Hawley. The list really goes on and on.

“I cannot think of a sorrier excuse for a candidate for anything. Except maybe Ted Cruz.”

Oh, Ted Cruz is an infinitely superior candidate. I mean, yes, he’s odious, reprehensible, and willing to sacrifice lives and peace and freedom for the sake of his own personal hollow vanity and ambition. But he’s also smart and experienced: Princeton (national debating champion); Harvard (law review editor); Supreme…

Lauren Boebert, Marjorie Taylor-Greene, Madison Cawthorne. Republican voters seem to really want to elect incompetent, hateful, lying a-holes these days. It truly is the Trump party now.

I cannot think of a sorrier excuse for a candidate for anything. Except maybe Ted Cruz.

I’d love to believe there was some justice involved in Trump sycophants all trying to kickstart their political careers and having them burn to ashes because they sucked up so hard to Trump, but with Arkansas voting for Trump in both 2016 and 2020, the latter despite fully knowing what he was like, the odds of a Trump…

This is a great story to start my day. Glad he is doing well and I hope he continues down this path.

Shit. You can all pay me to talk with you. I have a PhD in Child development and 25 years experience working with young children including infants ( my actual specialty).

Market cap is not the same as “the amount of money the stock market has put into it(tesla)”. Market cap is the current combined valuation of all shares based on current price. But the vast majority of those shares were purchased at an earlier date/lower price, or were even given for $0 cash as equity awards to Musk…

Investors aren’t looking at anything with Tesla, it’s just pure delusion.

The P/E ratio is currently over 1,600. Investors would have to legitimately believe that Tesla’s future market cap will be $32 trillion? 15x more than the current most valuable company?

I remember when the big fear were the so-called “Michigan Militias” and the next Timothy McVeigh. Funny how we swept all that down the memory hole when we found an excuse to bomb brown people.

This is where I normally urge the Root to FOLLOW UP ON THE STORY... and once in a while they do actually, but most of the time it’s like “nah, go back to the greys!”

Except the 20 cops standing by would have dropped her in a heartbeat. You’re only allowed to carry a gun in public if you’re a white guy with a camo fetish.

You know, I never liked Mark Cuban from watching Mavs games. Always seemed like a “look at me” kind of owner. But the more I read about him off the court...guy seems like a solid dude. This is a great story and I’m glad I was wrong about him. Two big thumbs up here!
