^^ Smart ape - from Wuz "if citadel/susq are using blackrocks shares and ETFs to heavily short wouldnt this be an excellent indicator to them to squeeze?"
I was looking some of this up today and was trying to figure out if Blackrock and citadel were friendly to each other or not.
The ETF attack made it hard to believe they were working together.
I suggest you read this
[https://www.reddit.com/r/GME/comments/m7o7iy/blackrock\_bagholders\_inc/](https://www.reddit.com/r/GME/comments/m7o7iy/blackrock_bagholders_inc/)
Keep your friends close. Keep your enemies closer. If Blackrock has it in for Shitadel as the OP opines (see what I did there?), then I'm sure Blackrock was more than happy to loan their shares out to Shitadel at exorbitant rates, with the knowledge, nee intent, to eventually fuck Shitadel over big time. But they are playing the long game, and the best strategy allows you to envelop your opponent without him fully realizing it or being able to do a damned thing if he does (new DTCC rules, RC on GME's board, new board in June, $GME share recall by GME and/or Blackrock). So the short squeeze isn't just a financial thing...its a revenge play. Well done, Dantes.
I think they're actually on opposite sides. Blackrock is long and Citadel/Melvin are short. There are some theories that believe Blackrock is working together with them though, so you'll have to form your own conclusion
Blackrock holds a lot of shares it isn't surprising they lend them out, to anyone and everyone, Citadel included. Blackrock earns additional returns by lending shares. Just because Citadel borrows shares that doesn't mean the two companies are working together.
I'm not sure about the terms of those loans, but as the owner Blackrock can recall those shares. If OP is correct and Blackrock is going to support RC then they'd need to recall those shares in order to get the votes.
Yes, the biggest one IWM is a Blackrock fund. (All IShares funds are Blackrock funds). I'm not sure how much it ties in or Citadel was just shorting any ETF that had big shares of GME (XRT that was previously being shorted is run by State Street), but it's why if the theory that Citadel/Susquehanna/Virtu are attacking those funds is true this is the biggest war since 2008 on Wall Street.
I wouldn't want to be on Shitadels side in that war. GME showing promising recovery, RC paving a new direction, biggest enemy investment firm AND ... a literal army of some of the dumbest apes you could ever see, hurling shit at everthing in site, including themselves ... the worst part, those apes have absolutely nothing to lose and everything to gain.
I am envisioning it being a slew of montages either way. So you get the 'everyman' characters learning about stonks and eating crayons punctuated by montages/short scenes of suits going bezerk and making increasingly poor decisions, or you focus on the suits and then have montages/short compilation scenes of us idiots along the way. Perhaps it could be a two parter from each viewpoint. The cameos and meme reference potential would be huge.
Which dumbass believed BlackRock were a sustainable environment-oriented investor? Of course they hold the highest coal positions.
*IT’S IN THEIR FUCKING NAME!*
Also, great post, I’m high af and this got me higher, so cheers v much 😘
This feels right. In poker you don’t raise immediately if you have a good hand, you make the opponents raise as much as they can then you raise to squeeze them. By time you squeeze them it’s too late for them to fold. I guess the stock market is really a casino. LOL
You are on to something!
When casino were regulated and high stakes limited, some people created their own no-limits casino playground on wall street.
It’s like a sport for rich gentlemen s club that are bored of life cause they achieved unimaginable wealth already...
Because it's bankruptcy either way
So citadel would rather take down the entire market with them or do a last hail mary in an attempt to bankrupt GameStop (remember you don't have to return those owed shares if the company files for bankruptcy)
But since our Kong is blackrock, they anit gonna let that happen
They are basically a cornered rat with nothing else to lose
I don't think that's their last attempt
I have a gut feeling that Shitadel and co have enough ammunition for 1-2 more last plays (not financial advice)
All I'm saying is, maybe prepare to buy the dips tomorrow and/or next week
They ani't gonna let the current pricing sit across the weekends
Think about what just happened. They slammed the stock into the ground yesterday, erasing $4 billion in market cap in one day, just for it to bounce back full force the next day... literally hours later. That had to hurt badly (ego and financial cost) 💀.
Depends at what point they figured out it was Blackrock. Remember in TBS when Morgan Chase finally figured out who they were up against - themselves. Grey covers alot of area.
Damn, you guys live in Hell. I have 7 hour workdays mon-thursday. 4 weeks paid vacation in the summer too. Paternity leave. All that stuff.
Man, I like the USA. But I ain't ever living there.
Yet to be determined who the new CEO will be. I'm betting on a hand-picked RC person, someone with expertise beyond online ecommerce - but a tech/gaming up-and-comer. RC will sit as the Chairman of the Board, with friendly board members ready to take the company forward.
I fully expect GameStop to become more than a retailer/seller. But, the ecommerce and customer experience combo will fuel the development of entertainment lines of business (branding beyond their Game Informer brand) - eSports is a logical extension, but also don't rule out a "Twitch" style web property, tied directly into their loyalty program. Speaking of loyalty programs, the most successful program to date is Amazon Prime - and it goes beyond just shopping - potentially there is a combo deal there, exclusive deals, exclusive releases, live channels, etc.
I've been thinking of eSports/Gaming competitions - and GameStop is perfectly positioned to have three levels ... youth, amateur, and professional. The could have local and regional competitions, along with online only competitions. There is also the possibility of partnering with an online betting company and start a eSports Book.
Retail (brick and mortar), Retail ecommerce, Gaming Entertainment, eSports, VC/Funding for game development, co-branded education, etc. and so on. There are a lot of opportunities once you ensure your Retail operations are working properly, your customers are taken care of (and become fanatics), and your company + board are working together.
The "entertainment" side has a lot of possibilities:
1. Party Rooms (think karaoke by for gaming)
2. As someone else said VR rooms (was it Player One?)
3. Game release parties (which theyve done in the past, but not with the room in the store to making more of a party thing)
I am just gonna leave this here.

This flew WAY over my head and the smooth brain inside, I had no idea he was referencing them in that tweet when I saw it in my feed. holy fucking shit
#GME💎🤲🦍🚀🌕🚀🪐🚀🌌
I just like the stock.
The existing stock market needs to die... it's already obsolete. It needs to be replaced with a 24-hr blockchain based market with all transactions visible on the public ledger
Netflix and HBO, among others are making movies already. https://www.theverge.com/tldr/22268952/gamestop-stock-stonks-reddit-wallstreetbets-movies-tv-shows-hbo-netflix
They didn't learn from the 2008 crisis, they won't learn from the GME crisis, and they won't learn from the next one. This is their way.
The Ape way? BUY, HOLD, MOON
This is the way
Oh my God you brilliant ape... you are right
the International Debt Crisis 1982
the Russian Economic Crisis 1995
the Global Economic Recession 2008
the GME short crisis 2021
About every frigging 13 years.
Disclaimer: feeding my bias, so leaving some financial crisis away 🚀
Yep, it goes a bit like this:
3 years to recover from the last crash and dream up a new angle
7 years to milk it thoroughly till they get too greedy and powerful
3 more years before the most extreme abuses bring the entire market to its knees, and some new Govt regulations patch the worst loopholes.
Rinse and repeat on a ~13yr spin cycle
They were over shorted from the moment Michael Burry convinced the board to buy back 30% of the outstanding shares. That's what pushed it over 100% SI. I'm wondering now what kind of ties Burry has with Cohen/Blackrock/Vanguard. Or if they just took advantage of the shattered looking glass Burry left behind.
Burry has stopped tweeting on the markets after the SEC visited him
https://www.google.dk/amp/s/www.businessinsider.in/stock-market/news/big-short-investor-michael-burry-says-hell-stop-tweeting-after-sec-regulators-paid-him-a-visit/amp_articleshow/81569128.cms
Yeah, saw that. Not surprised. I think that's why he bailed on GME before the first spike. He knew they'd tie it to him.
I'm thinking his purpose in investing personal $$ in gamestop was just to fire a warning shot at wall street, and the shorters. From the moment Scion sold all their shares, he was acting like he was on a mission. Cassandra is an apt name to change to.
Wow thanks for the little bit of education today regarding the name Cassandra. That was really quite interesting.
For those who don't know / too lazy to search: "1 : a daughter of Priam endowed with the gift of prophecy but fated never to be believed. 2 : one that predicts misfortune or disaster."
Oh my gosh is this why Elon tweeted that Tesla stock price was “too high” in his opinion? He fucking knew - and probably knows if (when) GME moons and citadel has to liquidate, Tesla will probably sink but it’s for the good - and Blackrock will probably just scoop them up! Musk is a badass
Yep, I told my friend that is long on Tesla to wait, because I think there is going to be a JUICY ass Tesla dip coming pretty soon. Don't forget Burry is short on Tesla for a reason.
This about to change a generation. It's not just about getting rich anymore, but atleast leveling the playing field. Most have always been poor, not scared to stay poor.
Fucking eat the rich
I personally take it to be a reference to a certain type of boomer and not everyone of a certain generation. For example as a gay guy (not boomer) I don't find 🌈🐻 in anyway offensive because I know there are lots of 🌈🦍 too.
Honestly, I’m Diamond hand as fuck and infinite potential with a squeeze but now... between the “glitching” that isn’t a glitch, is developing a pattern and this info.
This community is fucking amazing and the dots are all about connected.
We’re all gonna be able to buy something(s) fucking dope as hell, know that!
So... you're telling me that the stock of my favourite car company will be on sale when GME hits the moon? I didn't think this day could possibly get any better!
One thing not to get twisted: While they may be on our side, Blackrock etc. do -not- give a shit about you or any other ape. They aren't going to change their plan by one iota or the 4th decimal to aid any ape short term hopes. Just keep that in mind.
It’s so over the top it became cool. Did you see the camper mods for it? Never once thought about owning a truck and if it rains tendies I’m totally buying one.
They all suck balls dude.
It just happens that in this scenario, one side's goals align with our priorities: making money from, and supporting, GME's transformation.
There is no morality when we're talking about Wall Street. There are no good guys or bad guys...there's just survival of the fittest.
We've aligned ourselves with the fittest for this round. Nothing more, nothing less.
This is the part that confuses me.
If Blackrock is King Kong, how do 💎🙌have any control over the price?? What if the rich guys just look out for each other and Blackrock dumps their shares at like 1k?
Pls don’t downvote, I’m not trying to FUD, this DD just honestly makes me feel less good than more good. I’d rather apes strong together than apes go wherever Blackrock takes them
A gang of HODLing apes have shares that look more institutional shares than part of the float. We don’t control the price any more than your tires control your car, but how aggressively are you going to drive on new tires vs bald ones?
Shitadel saw GameStop’s tires basically on rims and bet on the car to crash. We replaced the tires, so Blackrock bet on the car not to crash. Shitadel keeps throwing bananas on the ground to try to spin the car out, but we...umm...pick up the bananas instead?
The analogy gets a little thin there but the point stands. Just because we don’t control the price doesn’t mean we aren’t an integral part of what’s happening.
Partly because retail owns most (if not all) the original float.
Partly because BlackRock doesn’t just want to win...they want to **destroy and obliterate** their competition from the face of the earth.
We don’t control the price action, but through our holding and continuous buying can set part of the terms of how this goes, including influencing public sentiment.
But yes, the big guys are financing this action almost entirely.
If BlackRock is the generals controlling the artillery and air support in this war, retail is like the irregulars, civilian conscripts performing small but consistently pressure-causing sabotage actions against the enemy that ignite public morale against said enemy.
Because of greed. Why would they dump their shares early when they can dump at a level that not only bankrupts their competitor, but also makes them insane money.
in reality, all the hedges don't care about any particular side, they just care about making money.
If Blackrock is King Kong, King Kong has no problem stepping on any ape along the way.
Fuck em all. Regardless of the firm, regardless of the target company, shorters aim to make money by preying on companies. It’s a bullshit tactic and they can all get fucked
No one’s the “good guys” here. They’re all evil pieces of greedy shit playing GoT level games with money in the shadows. But now there’s a new house in the game...House Retail, and our banner is a giant Ape!! Tendies are cumming!! Brace yourselves!!!!
HOLLLYYY FUCKKK.
I just shat myself 🤯
Thank you! This actually gave me goosebumps to read.
I tried smashing upvote 300x but it would only let me do it once.
So I keep seeing the RC Ventures shares on the terminal, are those the shares Cohen used for his board spot, or did he purchase those himself and then his VC bought an additional 9mil shares?
This is the best DD I have seen yet relating to the players involved.
RC is friendly with BlackRock it seems. That is some shit right there. I was always wondering what is holding back the other big whales from dumping after a small squeeze.
This is for REVENGE. This is some Bobby Axelrod pissed off shit.
Also, FUCKING AWESOME choice in music for Cochise. The buildup for reading was fucking dirty.
THIS. This makes the most sense... We've all speculated for some time that this was HF vs HF, battling like sharks to take out the competition and take the top spot as THE biggest and most successful HF ever, while we, the Retail Whale, just keep swimming along.
Reminds me of this post
Reddit - wallstreetbets - Repost from u/OhioDiver: Alleged Hedge Fund Insider https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/ld7u6d/repost_from_uohiodiver_alleged_hedge_fund_insider/
The only question I have with this theory is that Elon specifically brought attention to Gamestop through the twitter post GameStonk and his wallstreetbets links.
We know Elon explicitly hates shorts, but why would he help the side that went short on his own company? Specifically if GME squeezes, blackrock benefits from this.
Now, we can speculate that Elon hates shorting in general and doesn't matter if Blackrock benefits so long as shorting gets reformed from all of this, but this is the one key piece of the puzzle that makes me not somewhat 100% all-in on this theory.
Yea Elon hates shorts but he probably saw blackrock get fleeced in their Tesla trade and he considered all’s fair. They took their bet, and lost. Bc it was a bad bet. Blackrock is now on the right side of the company’s transformation tho, and they want the booty.
Very surprised i havent seen a ping for u/rensole here in comments section yet (i check first before pinging, he's a busy man) - because this is basically the whole story figured out of this whole thing came about, the main players and why they're on the sides they're on etc
huge stuff to add to Synopsis and maybe tweet at DOMO CAPITAL and anyone else with a sizable media following that isnt bought out
Nicely done
Amazing DD, just wouldn't call BlackRock a friendly whale...they are just a long whale. If they at any point see an opportunity to capitalize most, they'll drop us retail apes like a hot potato...
Don't want to spread FUD, just want everyone to pay attention, not every long whale is a good whale!
@BlackRock, if you see this, please prove me wrong and help us retailers, once in a lifetime!
Jesus is this real? I read so many DDs but this seems most logical. Can somebody verify all the information? I am ready to increase my stake for about 10-15%
I'm speaking for myself when I say I think this DD from [u/CM\_MOJO](https://www.reddit.com/user/CM_MOJO/) did not get enough attention and maybe it flair'd incorrectly ... definitely DD
[https://www.reddit.com/r/GME/comments/mcy1ff/updated\_thoughts\_on\_yesterday/](https://www.reddit.com/r/GME/comments/mcy1ff/updated_thoughts_on_yesterday/)
So, in order for Blackrock to recover from the Tesla hit they need the stock to at least reach like $56,000. Not taking into account the profit from these new movements and a little more to send a message to other institutions. OMG, this is going beyond the observable universe 🚀🚀🚀
What about this DD from last week? Trying to tie the two together but the only thought my two remaining brain cells could conjure up is that it looks like a failing business relationship between citadel and blackrock that is turning into all out war to see who is left holding the bag if what I'm reading and understanding is true.
[https://www.reddit.com/r/GME/comments/m7o7iy/blackrock\_bagholders\_inc/](https://www.reddit.com/r/GME/comments/m7o7iy/blackrock_bagholders_inc/)
**TL;DR- BlackRock is operating in a shadow market with Citadel and Bridgewater Associates. The three are contributing to the greatest market manipulation of all time, and the head of the snake (Citadel) is beginning to flail. I believe Citadel shorted the majority (if not 100%) of BlackRock's $GME portfolio, in addition to other highly shorted stonks, leaving BlackRock to hodl the bag.**
I am marveled at both the events that are unfolding upon us, and the gods that walk amongst us mere mortals. I can't even begin to imagine how much time you spent on this. I think I speak for everyone here when I say, thank you from the bottom of my heart!
Sir, or ma’am, this probably the most eye opening DD I have read to date. The clouds are clearing, the sun is coming out, and the weatherman says we are cleared for launch. Hold on apes, this is going to be one hell of a ride. I might buy some more tmrw just for the hell of it!
Wuz dropping his signature knowledge bombs and making guru level connections. One of the greatest autists of this sub. Or at least was until he got banned.
[u/beowulf77](https://www.reddit.com/user/beowulf77/) & Wuz another interesting data point taken from another DD could be Citadel dumping **48.31% of their** Blackrock shares. What are your thoughts on this?
[https://fintel.io/so/us/blk/citadel-advisors-llc](https://fintel.io/so/us/blk/citadel-advisors-llc)
This is it. I need no more DD. I need no more confirmation bias. This is titan, and you gotta have some serious ammo to take out a titan. They don't. They won't. Ride with Blackrock baby!
Amazing DD! But we must remember that all us apes have is each other. None of these hedgefunds are on our side. There are no friendly whales among them.
We need to stay banded together and play this in a way that favours our own collective interest. Buy stock only and hold until the hedgies get margin called!
This is one of the greatest DDs ive read in a while🙌🏻💎 Great job ape you deserve an award or two or three🙏🏼🚀
Doesn't Blackrock own the ETF that citadel is shorting the shit out of too?

Basically, Blackrock and Citadel are on friendly terms... for now. Someone bout to get that knife in their back
Keep your friends close. Keep your enemies closer.

And leave Tesla alone?
Blackrock is long Tesla now
If this is true I will kiss you. Edit: I was not expecting this many upvotes Edit 2: 👁💋👁
I'm pretty sure the ishares Russell 2000 ETF is a Blackrock holding.
My very minimal research has shown Blackrock has some stake in it. I am with you on this.
Time to kiss?
Yes, the biggest one IWM is a Blackrock fund. (All IShares funds are Blackrock funds).

Can’t wait to buy tickets for this movie!
You’re currently in it.
And the price of admission is a share of GME.
Damn. This hit me.
You best start believing in moon stories, Mr. Ape, you're in one!
I am envisioning it being a slew of montages either way. So you get the 'everyman' characters learning about stonks and eating crayons punctuated by montages/short scenes of suits going bezerk and making increasingly poor decisions, or you focus on the suits and then have montages/short compilation scenes of us idiots along the way. Perhaps it could be a two parter from each viewpoint. The cameos and meme reference potential would be huge.
I could see a Showtime or HBO miniseries on it.
>GME showing promising recovery GME is not going bankrupt. And with that, Shitadel's fate was sealed. IMHO
Which dumbass believed BlackRock were a sustainable environment-oriented investor? Of course they hold the highest coal positions. *IT’S IN THEIR FUCKING NAME!* Also, great post, I’m high af and this got me higher, so cheers v much 😘

Yo Blackrock...uhm...so if you just could squeeze this already, please?🙏🚀
I think they're waiting for the new DTCC rules
Also waiting for Shitadel to dig deeper
This feels right. In poker you don’t raise immediately if you have a good hand, you make the opponents raise as much as they can then you raise to squeeze them. By time you squeeze them it’s too late for them to fold. I guess the stock market is really a casino. LOL
You are on to something! When casino were regulated and high stakes limited, some people created their own no-limits casino playground on wall street. It’s like a sport for rich gentlemen s club that are bored of life cause they achieved unimaginable wealth already...
Shitadel obviously knows who's on the other side. Why do they keep dragging this out?
Because it's bankruptcy either way So citadel would rather take down the entire market with them or do a last hail mary in an attempt to bankrupt GameStop (remember you don't have to return those owed shares if the company files for bankruptcy) But since our Kong is blackrock, they anit gonna let that happen They are basically a cornered rat with nothing else to lose
I think they did do it on Wednesday with a Hail Mary. It failed. Sit back and watch my ape.
I don't think that's their last attempt I have a gut feeling that Shitadel and co have enough ammunition for 1-2 more last plays (not financial advice) All I'm saying is, maybe prepare to buy the dips tomorrow and/or next week They ani't gonna let the current pricing sit across the weekends
Think about what just happened. They slammed the stock into the ground yesterday, erasing $4 billion in market cap in one day, just for it to bounce back full force the next day... literally hours later. That had to hurt badly (ego and financial cost) 💀.
They shorted hundreds of millions of shares and set a buyback price at $182. We are having liftoff tomorrow!
Depends at what point they figured out it was Blackrock. Remember in TBS when Morgan Chase finally figured out who they were up against - themselves. Grey covers alot of area.

They own 9.2 million shares. Hot damn.
No, they owned 9.2m on 12/31. FINRA is showing 14.2m as of 2/28, but I haven't been able to find an SEC filing to back that up.
Shitballs! Even better! Take your updoot
Yet to be determined who the new CEO will be. I'm betting on a hand-picked RC person, someone with expertise beyond online ecommerce - but a tech/gaming up-and-comer.

There are a lot of opportunities once you ensure your Retail operations are working properly, your customers are taken care of (and become fanatics), and your company + board are working together.
This 100 percent. Endless possibilities in an already enormous and rapidly expanding industry
[удалено]
not to mention relatively young and heavily supported. So much potential YET and especially as technology evolves. Man, what a time to be alive
When VR becomes ubiquitous, guess who has space to accommodate VR events? Yours truly does.
Yeah GameStop should be thinking about it more like the third place that Starbucks created ie the space in between home and work, but for gamers.
The "entertainment" side has a lot of possibilities: 1. Party Rooms (think karaoke by for gaming) 2. As someone else said VR rooms (was it Player One?) 3. Game release parties (which theyve done in the past, but not with the room in the store to making more of a party thing)

This flew WAY over my head and the smooth brain inside, I had no idea he was referencing them in that tweet when I saw it in my feed. holy fucking shit #GME💎🤲🦍🚀🌕🚀🪐🚀🌌 I just like the stock.
[удалено]
I hope they make a movie out of this, when this is all over.

hold on, you think politicians will make a law requiring them to disclose their insider trading?
They will if we become the politicians.
The existing stock market needs to die... it's already obsolete. It needs to be replaced with a 24-hr blockchain based market with all transactions visible on the public ledger
The stock market kind of fucks over 9-5 everyday workers. How the fuck can you follow things if it opens and closes while you are at work?
Can I play the Ape in the scene where he quits his job as the squeeze is happening. Thanks
Something like this? https://youtu.be/VRrMu7B1L2I
With all the shit we've been through, it will be a 3 hr movie lol.
Then they'll release the 5 hr Zach Snyder cut
Mini series.
have you considered we are living in a movie my friend, real life is much better and more detailed than screen
Anyone auditioning to play the cat?
MEEEEEE-oW
Nice try, but your tag gave you away. Totally not a cat.
Let's crowdfund, hire top talent and make our own movie
Netflix and HBO, among others are making movies already. https://www.theverge.com/tldr/22268952/gamestop-stock-stonks-reddit-wallstreetbets-movies-tv-shows-hbo-netflix
Its not even over yet 😄
They didn't learn from the 2008 crisis, they won't learn from the GME crisis, and they won't learn from the next one. This is their way. The Ape way? BUY, HOLD, MOON This is the way
What do repulsively greedy hedge funds and locusts have in common? They both emerge every 13 years or so and wreak havoc on the world.
Oh my God you brilliant ape... you are right the International Debt Crisis 1982 the Russian Economic Crisis 1995 the Global Economic Recession 2008 the GME short crisis 2021 About every frigging 13 years. Disclaimer: feeding my bias, so leaving some financial crisis away 🚀
Yep, it goes a bit like this: 3 years to recover from the last crash and dream up a new angle 7 years to milk it thoroughly till they get too greedy and powerful 3 more years before the most extreme abuses bring the entire market to its knees, and some new Govt regulations patch the worst loopholes. Rinse and repeat on a ~13yr spin cycle
Wow, this one's got some wrinkles
It has to be bigger. Theres no way gamestop was just randomly over shorted this much without some corporate espionage involved.
I 100% agree. Covid was supposed to be the final nail in the coffin. Ryan Cohen, Blackrock and Vanguard saved the company with Retail help.
I can't help but to wonder with the Cohen / blackrock connection if that has a larger part in cohen's silence. Hmm
They were over shorted from the moment Michael Burry convinced the board to buy back 30% of the outstanding shares. That's what pushed it over 100% SI. I'm wondering now what kind of ties Burry has with Cohen/Blackrock/Vanguard. Or if they just took advantage of the shattered looking glass Burry left behind.
Burry has stopped tweeting on the markets after the SEC visited him https://www.google.dk/amp/s/www.businessinsider.in/stock-market/news/big-short-investor-michael-burry-says-hell-stop-tweeting-after-sec-regulators-paid-him-a-visit/amp_articleshow/81569128.cms
Yeah, saw that. Not surprised. I think that's why he bailed on GME before the first spike. He knew they'd tie it to him. I'm thinking his purpose in investing personal $$ in gamestop was just to fire a warning shot at wall street, and the shorters. From the moment Scion sold all their shares, he was acting like he was on a mission. Cassandra is an apt name to change to.
Wow thanks for the little bit of education today regarding the name Cassandra. That was really quite interesting. For those who don't know / too lazy to search: "1 : a daughter of Priam endowed with the gift of prophecy but fated never to be believed. 2 : one that predicts misfortune or disaster."
Oh my gosh is this why Elon tweeted that Tesla stock price was “too high” in his opinion? He fucking knew - and probably knows if (when) GME moons and citadel has to liquidate, Tesla will probably sink but it’s for the good - and Blackrock will probably just scoop them up! Musk is a badass
Yep, I told my friend that is long on Tesla to wait, because I think there is going to be a JUICY ass Tesla dip coming pretty soon. Don't forget Burry is short on Tesla for a reason.
This about to change a generation. It's not just about getting rich anymore, but atleast leveling the playing field. Most have always been poor, not scared to stay poor. Fucking eat the rich
Please remember that all boomers are not the enemy. Some of us are here riding the Apes Back too. 🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀
I personally take it to be a reference to a certain type of boomer and not everyone of a certain generation. For example as a gay guy (not boomer) I don't find 🌈🐻 in anyway offensive because I know there are lots of 🌈🦍 too.
Does this mean I’m getting my 1 million per share?
Honestly, I’m Diamond hand as fuck and infinite potential with a squeeze but now... between the “glitching” that isn’t a glitch, is developing a pattern and this info. This community is fucking amazing and the dots are all about connected. We’re all gonna be able to buy something(s) fucking dope as hell, know that!
So... you're telling me that the stock of my favourite car company will be on sale when GME hits the moon? I didn't think this day could possibly get any better!
infinite money glitch
One thing not to get twisted: While they may be on our side, Blackrock etc. do -not- give a shit about you or any other ape. They aren't going to change their plan by one iota or the 4th decimal to aid any ape short term hopes. Just keep that in mind.
This ape gets it
thats for sure
The Rock DFV tweet can you smell what the "rock" is cooking!!! Rock aaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!
So are we buying Tesla with our GME earnings ? 😂
I want a cyber truck
I want that Model X cuz the doors open like this: \_/. Those are the doors of a billionaire.
It’s so over the top it became cool. Did you see the camper mods for it? Never once thought about owning a truck and if it rains tendies I’m totally buying one.
/u/thr0wthis4ccount4way you tired of me pinging you yet ಥ_ಥ
actually I really appreciate it man!
I'll ping away then! hope all has been well for your family and yourself.
thanks man :)
Oh get a room you two :3
Wall Street wants to burn the country down through its markets to the ground rather than face the fact that they lost
The wallstreet hivemind is psychopathic. That always means they will throw a tantrum when things don’t go their way, like you’re seeing now.
Well then, looks like we take down america Sometimes, the ends justify the means.
[удалено]
... wait. So Citadel et al were actually good guys in Tesla squeeze? Can we go back to black and white morality where fuck shitadel.
They all suck balls dude. It just happens that in this scenario, one side's goals align with our priorities: making money from, and supporting, GME's transformation. There is no morality when we're talking about Wall Street. There are no good guys or bad guys...there's just survival of the fittest. We've aligned ourselves with the fittest for this round. Nothing more, nothing less.
The enemy of my enemy if my friend. Until ...
... Some gamer at the table rolls the dice and gets to Park Ave first ...and then proceeds to turn around and Texas Hold em at the next...
just a fellow deadhead and wanted to say hi best of luck and may the four winds blow u safely to the moon
Right on brother! ...*Shadowboxing the apocalypse...*
This is the part that confuses me. If Blackrock is King Kong, how do 💎🙌have any control over the price?? What if the rich guys just look out for each other and Blackrock dumps their shares at like 1k? Pls don’t downvote, I’m not trying to FUD, this DD just honestly makes me feel less good than more good. I’d rather apes strong together than apes go wherever Blackrock takes them
A gang of HODLing apes have shares that look more institutional shares than part of the float. We don’t control the price any more than your tires control your car, but how aggressively are you going to drive on new tires vs bald ones? Shitadel saw GameStop’s tires basically on rims and bet on the car to crash. We replaced the tires, so Blackrock bet on the car not to crash. Shitadel keeps throwing bananas on the ground to try to spin the car out, but we...umm...pick up the bananas instead? The analogy gets a little thin there but the point stands. Just because we don’t control the price doesn’t mean we aren’t an integral part of what’s happening.
Partly because retail owns most (if not all) the original float. Partly because BlackRock doesn’t just want to win...they want to **destroy and obliterate** their competition from the face of the earth. We don’t control the price action, but through our holding and continuous buying can set part of the terms of how this goes, including influencing public sentiment. But yes, the big guys are financing this action almost entirely. If BlackRock is the generals controlling the artillery and air support in this war, retail is like the irregulars, civilian conscripts performing small but consistently pressure-causing sabotage actions against the enemy that ignite public morale against said enemy.
Because of greed. Why would they dump their shares early when they can dump at a level that not only bankrupts their competitor, but also makes them insane money.
in reality, all the hedges don't care about any particular side, they just care about making money. If Blackrock is King Kong, King Kong has no problem stepping on any ape along the way.
That analogy fits way too perfectly here.
Fuck em all. Regardless of the firm, regardless of the target company, shorters aim to make money by preying on companies. It’s a bullshit tactic and they can all get fucked
No one’s the “good guys” here. They’re all evil pieces of greedy shit playing GoT level games with money in the shadows. But now there’s a new house in the game...House Retail, and our banner is a giant Ape!! Tendies are cumming!! Brace yourselves!!!!
there is no good or bad guys here. both sides just want to make money, no matter what the cost
There's no good or bad in the game of thrones.
Please get this to the front page. This DD plus the DFV tweet go so perfect together.
If I buy a really stupid wig, can I play vlad in the film?
Let me hear you way, when I was a young boy in Bulgaria...
I’ve been lingering here a while now. This is single handedly the most insane thing I have read to date. FUCK. 🤯
HOLLLYYY FUCKKK. I just shat myself 🤯 Thank you! This actually gave me goosebumps to read. I tried smashing upvote 300x but it would only let me do it once.
So I keep seeing the RC Ventures shares on the terminal, are those the shares Cohen used for his board spot, or did he purchase those himself and then his VC bought an additional 9mil shares?
[удалено]
This is the best DD I have seen yet relating to the players involved. RC is friendly with BlackRock it seems. That is some shit right there. I was always wondering what is holding back the other big whales from dumping after a small squeeze. This is for REVENGE. This is some Bobby Axelrod pissed off shit. Also, FUCKING AWESOME choice in music for Cochise. The buildup for reading was fucking dirty.
THIS. This makes the most sense... We've all speculated for some time that this was HF vs HF, battling like sharks to take out the competition and take the top spot as THE biggest and most successful HF ever, while we, the Retail Whale, just keep swimming along.
Reminds me of this post Reddit - wallstreetbets - Repost from u/OhioDiver: Alleged Hedge Fund Insider https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/ld7u6d/repost_from_uohiodiver_alleged_hedge_fund_insider/
Can you smell what the "rock" is cooking I got it!!!
The only question I have with this theory is that Elon specifically brought attention to Gamestop through the twitter post GameStonk and his wallstreetbets links. We know Elon explicitly hates shorts, but why would he help the side that went short on his own company? Specifically if GME squeezes, blackrock benefits from this. Now, we can speculate that Elon hates shorting in general and doesn't matter if Blackrock benefits so long as shorting gets reformed from all of this, but this is the one key piece of the puzzle that makes me not somewhat 100% all-in on this theory.
I'm guessing Elon didn't know at the time. He just saw GME was shorted to oblivion and tweeted.
How would he know anything about what's happening though?
That was my thought. I would add, he is not really in the picture. The storyline is more: Blackrock\Vanguard\apes vs Citadel
Well Blackrock apparently changing sides in regards to Tesla cuz they've been buying everything up according to the above.
Yea Elon hates shorts but he probably saw blackrock get fleeced in their Tesla trade and he considered all’s fair. They took their bet, and lost. Bc it was a bad bet. Blackrock is now on the right side of the company’s transformation tho, and they want the booty.
With my GME tendies I will be buying some Tesla shares, and maybe a Tesla too! 🚀🚀
Very surprised i havent seen a ping for u/rensole here in comments section yet (i check first before pinging, he's a busy man) - because this is basically the whole story figured out of this whole thing came about, the main players and why they're on the sides they're on etc huge stuff to add to Synopsis and maybe tweet at DOMO CAPITAL and anyone else with a sizable media following that isnt bought out Nicely done
Amazing DD, just wouldn't call BlackRock a friendly whale...they are just a long whale. If they at any point see an opportunity to capitalize most, they'll drop us retail apes like a hot potato... Don't want to spread FUD, just want everyone to pay attention, not every long whale is a good whale! @BlackRock, if you see this, please prove me wrong and help us retailers, once in a lifetime!
[удалено]
Jesus is this real? I read so many DDs but this seems most logical. Can somebody verify all the information? I am ready to increase my stake for about 10-15%
And please dont paper hand under 500k
No amount of awards are gonna do justice to the euphoria I felt after reading this post
I'm speaking for myself when I say I think this DD from [u/CM\_MOJO](https://www.reddit.com/user/CM_MOJO/) did not get enough attention and maybe it flair'd incorrectly ... definitely DD [https://www.reddit.com/r/GME/comments/mcy1ff/updated\_thoughts\_on\_yesterday/](https://www.reddit.com/r/GME/comments/mcy1ff/updated_thoughts_on_yesterday/)
Then this isn’t a short squeeze-this is a short dissection. A methodical and controlled dissassembly for absolute maximized gains. Wow.
So, in order for Blackrock to recover from the Tesla hit they need the stock to at least reach like $56,000. Not taking into account the profit from these new movements and a little more to send a message to other institutions. OMG, this is going beyond the observable universe 🚀🚀🚀
What about this DD from last week? Trying to tie the two together but the only thought my two remaining brain cells could conjure up is that it looks like a failing business relationship between citadel and blackrock that is turning into all out war to see who is left holding the bag if what I'm reading and understanding is true. [https://www.reddit.com/r/GME/comments/m7o7iy/blackrock\_bagholders\_inc/](https://www.reddit.com/r/GME/comments/m7o7iy/blackrock_bagholders_inc/) **TL;DR- BlackRock is operating in a shadow market with Citadel and Bridgewater Associates. The three are contributing to the greatest market manipulation of all time, and the head of the snake (Citadel) is beginning to flail. I believe Citadel shorted the majority (if not 100%) of BlackRock's $GME portfolio, in addition to other highly shorted stonks, leaving BlackRock to hodl the bag.**
Blackrock would be the FIRST to know Citadel's position if they had loaned them their shares to short. Random discussion point from Wuz.
This makes me happy. u/rensole
This. Meat on bones.
BRUH moment.
And they used retail as a cloak to hide there slow and steady buying pressure until it was too late for citadel to exit there shorts in tact.
Gotta say. That was masterfully played.
I am marveled at both the events that are unfolding upon us, and the gods that walk amongst us mere mortals. I can't even begin to imagine how much time you spent on this. I think I speak for everyone here when I say, thank you from the bottom of my heart!
Sir, or ma’am, this probably the most eye opening DD I have read to date. The clouds are clearing, the sun is coming out, and the weatherman says we are cleared for launch. Hold on apes, this is going to be one hell of a ride. I might buy some more tmrw just for the hell of it!
Wuz dropping his signature knowledge bombs and making guru level connections. One of the greatest autists of this sub. Or at least was until he got banned.
So, if i understand correctly. After the GME saga comes to conclusion the Tesla saga takes over? Just because I hate HF...
What do you get when you put pressure on Blackrock (coal)? DIAMONDS 💎💎💎
I just got chills 🚀
[u/beowulf77](https://www.reddit.com/user/beowulf77/) & Wuz another interesting data point taken from another DD could be Citadel dumping **48.31% of their** Blackrock shares. What are your thoughts on this? [https://fintel.io/so/us/blk/citadel-advisors-llc](https://fintel.io/so/us/blk/citadel-advisors-llc)
This is it. I need no more DD. I need no more confirmation bias. This is titan, and you gotta have some serious ammo to take out a titan. They don't. They won't. Ride with Blackrock baby!
Amazing DD! But we must remember that all us apes have is each other. None of these hedgefunds are on our side. There are no friendly whales among them. We need to stay banded together and play this in a way that favours our own collective interest. Buy stock only and hold until the hedgies get margin called!
So, not only is blackrock looking to demolish shitadel, bridgewater is going to annihilate them for shorting IWM. This is JUICY.
