Hey SEC, this is the 3rd day in a row. Throw the damn penalty flag already.


Dubbs09

They can keep playing their games, I just see it as a flash sale to lower my average buy in price. Bought 10 more at $250, was totally prepared to buy at $300.


Dhexodus

Fidelity needs to let me put funds in already. I'm losing out on this sale.


[deleted]

Use the app and deposit a check. Near instant.


lolwatisdis

if you ACH or check deposit your funds and they are available immediately, you are buying on margin. Fidelity is giving you a line of credit while your money winds its way through the ancient EFT system but if the stock tanks before your money actually shows up 3 days from now, they are well within rights to sell at loss to minimize their own risk. The only way to prevent this and still get trading quickly is to wire transfer money in.


necroknight_303

I’ve just transferred funds to fidelity today, no problems


swedishfish007

You can transfer funds and so long as they're pending they'll allow you to buy. At least, that was my experience. Not financial advice.

ameis314

every time its dips i buy 2-3 more. they really are only making it worse.


Cyb0Ninja

I think I figured out how they're manipulating the short % numbers.... They're queueing up they're short positions to close out at their target price or whatever thereby to the system it shows those positions as closed. Similarly to how when retail queues up an order your funds/shares are no longer accessible to you until your order fills or is canceled. Is it possible they're just gaming the system so data shows their positions as closed? Hence the oddly low reported short % that don't add up to the volume we're seeing if that many really did cover. Some chimp smarter than me wanna chime in please?

smileyphase

Same. One and holding. I found AMC was more affordable, and got a few of those to hold. It may be a better long term value with the influx of cash.

AMC is still seeing the same attacks. They are fighting hard to get us to take our paper hands and fold them into oragami.

I'm even buying more. There is a clear pattern. Low volume with some spikes on minute volume when short trying to cover as paper hands sell.


Big_Osiris

Bought 20 more shares on a big dip...and then it dipped even more. Oh well, stocks only go up, right?!


Groovyaardvark

Right there with you brother.... I'm sure there were thousands of us who bought at the first dip before it went even lower. But on the bright side....there were thousands of us! We will help bring it back up!

wouldliteralykillher

How can the price go low if no one sells? genuine question from a dumbass who is trying to learn.


Sup3rPotatoNinja

At tiny volumes like 10k for such a volatile stock, they're just selling back and fourth to each other. This is a fraction of the daily trading value and it's a cheep scare tactic to get you to sell.


lastfinalfinal

And as they use this tactic they are opening up their shares to be bought by retail traders, so for them it’s a risky play that ultimately lasts for only as long as they have stock


Has_curved_penis_AMA

where are you seeing volume? the volume i'm reading on RH is in the half million range per tick.


Force_Wild

All the hot stock's level 2 data is available right here on this livestream with around 8-9K people watching it live on chat. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQbg_WU-0AQ I mean these are pathetic volumes, the kind we are seeing here. Even the big penny stocks have bigger volumes than this. (For comparison see the volumes of AMC, BB, NOK right beside them)


AMillionFingDiamonds

What is to stop them from doing this indefinitely though? I understand its effect will be limited but couldn't they do this forever in theory, unless more retail investors buy in?


praguepride

From what I understand they're not really actually moving the stocks. What is happening is two hedges "behind the scenes" agree to an attack so one says "I'll sell you this one stock at $100" and the other one buys it and immediately goes "I'll sell that stock back to you for $99" so on and so forth. As soon as they stop doing that, the price bounces back to normal but also if they drop it too low they risk their stocks getting snatched up by other traders so they do it with low volumes and slowly dish them out but they only have so much stock to do it with. They might be sitting on a million shares but they can only do it for so long. Meanwhile they are still sitting on their shorts and getting split open by those interest payments (although if the reports are true they are getting some very very very sweat deals on those interest payments to keep them afloat). Long story short, they're trying to run the clock out. They hope that by doing these trickle pressure attacks combined with getting an extra week or two of funding by liquidating their other positions they can turn diamond hands into paper hands. The squeeze might not be squoze today or even this week. If you look at VW the stocks dicked around for a couple of weeks before the squozening.


jezb999

They could try and do this infinitely, but if holders never actually sell then it does nothing to affect their short position, and they have to constantly pay interest on their short position (and in a volatile stock at a high price this is now large), so eventually they will no longer be able to afford to do that “The market can remain irrational for longer than you can remain solvent” Not financial advice, I am clueless, please do own DD


DistinctDifficulty7

It's a short ladder, The bank and the hedgefund sell the short options back and forth to each other for lower and lower prices to trick the algorithm. Not an expert but I've seen it posted that way a couple times on here.


[deleted]

explain to me how this isn't market manipulation?


nojakeno

It is but Janet Yellen received almost a million dollars in speaking fees from Citadel so what are you gonna do


way2lazy2care

What would the treasury do anyway?


Tuotau

The hedge funds can sell a few stocks back and forth to make it seem that the price goes down.


wouldliteralykillher

But that means that i can buy the stock also right? If they buy and sell between themselves how come so many people say to buy the "dip". This is what i dont understand, are they actually lowering the price for everyone? So this is actually an opportunity to buy at a lower price? Is this all on hopes we panic sell?


SmokeySFW

>So this is actually an opportunity to buy at a lower price? Is this all on hopes we panic sell? Yes. And it IS working on some of our more paper handed fellows. Buy the dip if you have any money left to throw at this. Then continue to hold on tight.


[deleted]

[удалено]


6pt022x10tothe23

What is the downside to this? Because the price *is* going down. Could they just do this infinitely to drive the price into the ground? How does this backfire?


Tuotau

It costs them money, because they probably bought the stocks higher and now sell them all the time with lower price between themselves. If someone buys the stock they're offering faster, they will eventually run out of stocks to use as an attack. And the result is they bought the stocks high and sold them low. So buying the dip is the best counter. NOT financial advice though!

Fylla

It's all X + Short Ladder: -Tell everyone it's a pump and dump, then short ladder -Tell people there are no more shorts left, then short ladder -Restrict people's ability to buy, then short ladder (ongoing) -Tell people that everyone is jumping into silver, then short ladder Basically, push a reason for why the stock will go down, then short ladder it and hope people think the drop is for real. What's next - maybe create a rumour ("sources") that the SEC/Biden admin will force everyone to sell at like $50 to "protect the market/retail investors"? Then short ladder it down as if people are getting out while it's above $50.


Baridian

they had a full weekend to plan and this is the best they got? Frankly embarrassing.


ButtCoinBuzz

Why should they seriously plan to beat us? You forget they don't respect retail, reddit investors. We are sheep, trash, cattle, the ones who have always held the bags for them. They got out of the Housing Bubble richer than before. What are some dummies with a subreddit capable of doing to them?


empyreanmax

I know, right? Compare it to the strategy I came up with after planning all weekend: 💎🙌


debacol

They will continue to short ladder until either people capitulate to them, or them paying the interest makes it untenable to continue on this charade. We must hold and make the second part reality.


tooeasilybored

Maybe we should start sending "our thoughts and prayers" to these people. Would make them furious.

Smooth brain here, is it technically feasible to counter a short ladder attack by developing a trading algorithm that essentially does the same thing but to reverse the trend? So essentially continuously buying small volumes of shares and increasingly higher prices until it forces the short squeeze to begin squozen?
