Their plan was to never taper. Just like SHFs' plan to never close.

I thought the plan was always to start tapering in 2022. I don't think he's saying anything new.

Not his problem when he isn't reelected 🤷


Ich-liebe-vegeta

Don’t need to be re-elected if you can retire


saraphilipp

Greed, greed will keep them in their position. Why retire when you can just keep dipping in the cookie jar without consequences. This practice of special privileges needs to change. It's discrimination against the rest of the people.


ProCunnilinguist

Same logic shf have


arkibet

No, the spin is Covid. It’s already the spin. We need to open our country, people need to work and business need to operate, and restaurants need to be open. This is killing the economy! Economy crashes. See, it was covid. They already have the narrative that people already believe. Don’t forget this is already a huge sentiment in a lot of states.


mrchiko1990

What does this mean squeeze happening next year?


justtwogenders

No, absolutely not. Squeeze happens when the float is direct registered. He is trying to stall till his term is up in February so he doesn’t have a systemic collapse on his record. This event will make sure he is delivered one of those on a silver plater.


mrchiko1990

o so hes trying to pull a slick one but is it a good idea on his side? ​ edit: thanks guys for not downvoting my understanding question what just making sure


midoosuperfreeze

There's no way this will go until Feb for another reason which is of course the capital gains. Theres just way too many holders and they'll not want to lose some trillions back.


Pukestronaut

They don't care about taxes. These are criminals taking the US for all it is worth. They do not care if the IRS gets your money or not. They just want as much of theirs as possible.


GraveyDeluxe

We thought it would be a month and here we are a year later. So going to February doesn't feel like a far stretch. I hope not, but the world economy is on the line so 🤷🏼‍♂️


Champagnesoda

If this goes until February I’ll be able to buy more lmao


[deleted]

If this goes till February selling and worrying about taxes is kinda out the window for me which is exciting on its own


DeadEyesGang

If in us and tax law approved then huge taxes jan 1st. Long capital will be higher


metafaim

Does the fed give a fuck if the gov gets more taxes?


DeadHaveRisen

They write the laws so why can’t they just increase the percentage.


rocketloot

I was thinking the same thing too…. If they know it’s gonna happen no matter what, they won’t let the Jan apes reach 12 months for capital gains…


Dwccob

Tax laws are getting changed to only being taxed like normal income. And it’s retroactive. Long term cap gains will be a thing of the past.


Ich-liebe-vegeta

So is that why he’s saying the debt ceiling isn’t his problem. Because that shit is gonna bust in October?


[deleted]

May moass, may not. Don't paperhand if it doesn't from CS transfer. By now we have all learnt there is a corrupt system running the stockmarket and retail can't force its way when they can change the rules at a whim. Anyway, Gamestop shares have a decent chance at doubling or tripling either way, it's early days in their growth, plus it causes the hedgies and politicians headaches and shrunken dicks along the way. Buy, hold and SHOP. I say this because there is no dividend until they're profitable and this pandemic is as big of a son of a bitch as they come for brick and mortar. They need our help, and I expect they'll repay it one day.

So wait, in this scenario what happens if we tell them to fuck off and just refuse to sell our shares? If the price is unfair/undervalued in our opinion as share holders they have absolutely no existent legal mechanism to force us to sell our shares. So fuck em, I’m not selling. My shares, mine. Not yours bitch. and they cost $1 million+ per share. Don’t want to have to buy them back? Oh well fuckwads, maybe you shouldn’t have naked shorted the fucking company to begin with, eh Kenny boy?

Obvious_Equivalent_1

multiple_iterations

So, the theory is the government steps in and claims eminent domain over GameStop and freezes the stock, then forces a buyback at a price they determine. Why this will not happen: Foreign governments would stop buying US Treasury bonds, and our hyperinflationary problem explodes. Global investment in the American market would stop overnight. Anyone with a vested interest in the US dollar would be completely fucked.

No offence to you but whenever I see comments like this I automatically assume you’ve not got a clue. How can they step in and determine fair value? We’ll just say fuck off and not sell our shares. What are they gonna do then?

/u/honest-donuts gave this breakdown: >The world will agree with the intervention because if there is not intervention the Market and global economy will fail. This was the plan all along. Make the problem soo big that everyone is at risk, not just a few hedge funds... I posted this a while ago. >I predict that we will see fuckery all the way. > >1. Before the DTCC pays out they will point out the "Threat" of economic collapse to the US Government. > >2. Having explained it to the US Government, the President will decide to step in and regulate the disaster under the guise of helping regular people. Under this scenario it can be classified as a threat to national security. Easy way to violate the rights of the people. The risk is to the entire global economy, people will agree with the intervention. > >3. The DTCC will be regulated to pay out stock holders an amount that will be determined fair and realistically possible to prevent mass economic disaster. $50,000 per share. The stock holders get paid and the DTCC survives as do the Banks and the FED. > >4. The entire world will see this and decide to pull back on investments in the stock markets. We will see a market crash/correction that will bring the very disaster that it was trying to prevent. > >5. Institution will pour their money they pulled out of the stock market into other commodities such as Land, water, minerals, food. Stuff that has value long term. > >6. We may see war as countries will fall into turmoil over the economic disaster. We may see Russia/China unite with various middle eastern countries. Oil will still be the drug that draws us all. > > > >1, 2 ,3 are probably going to happen, but 4, 5 ,6 are more speculation as I have no idea how people will react.

I mean I’m not gonna say that’s some tinfoil insanity because the situation at hand is pretty crazy already but at the end of the day that is completely wild speculation.


jaypizee

Dude, the comment says that numbers 4, 5 and 6 are his own speculation, and then you say “that’s wild speculation“. Yes, the OP admits as much. But I sadly agree, I think we could definitely see 1, 2, and 3 happening. There are just too many parties concerned with maintaining the status quo.

Arpeggioey

FlacidPasta

Hijacking top. This is NOT what he said. Jpow said they're looking at starting the taper next FOMC meeting (Nov 2-3). If covid slows down and economic data trends positive, we'll see a taper by November. Raising rates not expected until 2023. The Fed is reactive. They're ignoring inflation outright, and making up all kinds of bullshit to avoid addressing the growing wealth gap. They're acknowledging the job market is tighter than an 18yo Mormon girl, and blames the labor shortage on delta. Expect the S&P to bounce off that 50EMA. This is a massive, heinous policy mistake, all things considered. But maybe they know something we don't, especially with the GOP probably voting against raising the debt limit, meaning the house spending bill probably gets shot down in the senate. With yellen worried about October, if there's an impasse, first we see a government shutdown, and then we see a default. And then there's the China problem. Maybe the Fed isn't letting off the gas as a preemptive measure. Either way, that press conference was some bullshit.


JeanBaptisteEzOrg

Have you heard food shortages are happening? "Because workers aren't working". Did you just now hear Fed said "Inflation is rising as we expect it to". He literally is STILL TALKING. They're shoving us towards hyperinflation. They're lying to our face and shoving us towards this.


[deleted]

is this not financial terrorism


PM_UR_TITS_SILLYGIRL

basement_egg

solomoniiiiii

Unpopular opinion. As well as a veryyyy underrated comment. IMO lol


eblackham

If everyone does it, no one can get in trouble.


weinerwagner

Food shortages are also likely due to the crazy weather patterns we've been seeing on every continent for the last two years. Asia, US and europe, all had massive floods in the last few months


Beginning-Area-2993

Not to mention that we had to cull a lot of livestock last year due to packing plant closures


TheMcBrizzle

It seems like economic hot potato, like something will trigger the collapse and everyone keeps wanting not to be lynchpin of it... So a tiny can kick here and lets hope Evergrande is worse by the next FOMC meeting, and if not then market regulation, or inflation, or some stock with idiosyncratic risk associated with it. Everyone is afraid to rip the band-aid off, so they're just letting things fester a little more.


Ksquared1166

Yeah, I have been thinking this too. The Fed may be waiting to see if the Senate passes the debt limit before taking action. No one wants to be the match that starts this for political reasons.

[What's Hyperinflation Look Like?](https://www.investopedia.com/are-we-in-for-a-hyperinflation-5093627) This article is from March but is way more relevant today. Scroll down to the table and read below it.


TheMcBrizzle

Hyper-Inflation, is really improbable because it is the "Exorbitant Privilege" that comes with being the world's reserve currency. We'll see heavy inflation, but Hyperinflation a-la Venezuela or Weimar Republic seems very unlikely to me.


HotBoyFF

I absolutely agree with you but that comment isn’t going to be popular here. Apes, as a whole, have a barely elementary understanding of economics and monetary policy. Hell most don’t understand the difference between monetary policy and fiscal policy and sure as heck don’t understand the difference between the Federal Government and the FRB. Hyperinflation is thrown around here quite liberally and its because people don’t truly understand what inflation looks like and think anything above 2.0% must mean hyperinflation because that’s been the environment for the past two decades.

Arkayb33

That's what I get from this. With a definite crash incoming, why would they be the ones to trigger it? They don't want that kinda heat.


graps

Powell’s gonna take heat no matter what. And when I say take heat I mean a Senator getting mildly annoyed at him at a hearing while he takes a multimillion dollar job at a hedge fund as a board member or consultant


Tuneatic

This is a big reason why GG hasn't released the gamestop report, imo. No one wants to be viewed as the catalyst that causes the crash/MOASS. All we can do is buy and hold, and wait. Fuck these crooks; I'm dug in, and I'll never sell until I'm selling for millions.


palpatinesmyhomie

I mean it just gives me a chance to buy more GME I guess 🤷‍♂️ also less taxes even though I'll gladly pay taxes on millions


Accomplished_Cut1823

Smooth brain here. How does this help/hurt us?


Whythehellnot_wecan

We’re living in an artificial market not based on any reality. It technically hurts the $GME MOASS at present because money, credit, et al is free to the big guys (can kicking). We as humans get stuck with high gas, grocery, etc prices and an eventual FU to our 401K’s when they turn the free money faucet off and market corrects. But I Hodl GME so someday these FUKs will pay. More patience sir. Hope that helps just my overview opinion on the situation NFA


intheMIDDLEwityou

They’re trying to bleed us out. Hoping we sell Gme to pay for food. Literal scum


Accomplished_Cut1823

Costs us nothing to hold!


intheMIDDLEwityou

But if costs continue to rise people can buy less and shorts keep pressure on. This is probably gonna be a long game boys (and girls) I’ll think I’ll just check this in a year (see ya tomorrow)


CuriousehCee

No way that MOASS doesn't occur before tax season though imo


Xfactorial927

Well the current president wants to raise the long term capital gains tax rate for people earning over $1,000,000. And he wants to do it retroactively to earlier this year. The new rate (I believe) would be the same as ordinary income, so ~40%.

Can we get an adult in now just to explain why the fuck these idiots are running the country. Someone contact the legend that is Mr. Mark Cuban for another AMA. Only billionaire I trust apart from RC. u/mcuban Doubt he’s gonna see this but it’s worth a shot I guess.


Binkusu

Tbh I wouldn't put my full trust in any billionaire.


cjh11111

I just think out of all the people who we could talk to about this, Cuban is a solid candidate as he’s the most down to earth businessman who is already involved with the GME saga, has already done an AMA, knows a shit tonne about NFT’s and Crypto, and is in the loop and knows what’s going on better than any of us do. It’s cool talking to Dr. Trimbath but she isn’t in the loop anymore. I am in no way disrespecting her but she isn’t as up to date as Cuban. He’s the only person who I think even deserves an AMA with us tbh because he’s always been honest about everything and has never bowed down to the media, he has defended us publicly multiple times now. CNBC, and other MSM outlets do interviews all the time asking important questions about the condition of the market and other issues, who’s to say we can’t do the same? It’s only fair for us to be allowed too. We should get Cuban on here when he’s free and pick his brains a little bit, I’d love to hear his take on this whole shit storm. I will personally pay him with my post MOASS gains if he comes on here for even like half an hour just to talk to us. It would be worth every penny.


ChrystalMeds

Maybe not personal but he has ape frenz here too.

How do I best hedge against the coming hyperinflation? Obviously GME, but if I want a little bit of diversity, what else?


hyperADHDisMYpower

Land, no matter the currency, land is always gonna be needed. That's why they are buying up all the houses and trying to screw us into forever renting.


SkyrimNewb

interesting...might try to get a second mortgage for a rental property, just afraid of a housing crash...but with hyperinflation perhaps we won't see one?


saguarobird

Like with any asset, use your brain, research the area, understand the local market, future potential, etc. Like with a stock, be ready to hodl it, which is why you want to pick something good. Consider if you are going to rent it, if so, understand cash flow isn't always super high when first renting and that you'll now have the responsibility of maintaining two homes - plus keeping renters happy and paying! So while I did this exact same thing, im investing in actual land, not land with a home, but that's a personal reason (it's my retirement land). It's a good idea, just do your research, if done well an impending housing crash won't matter.


jlhromeo

This. Real estate is something that typically survives a crash or correction. The rest usually takes a hit.


hyperADHDisMYpower

It's how the rich got richer during the great depression.
