He didn’t have any answer as to the fate of new bag holders he created with his tweet. That was irresponsible. His plan to make hedge funds disclose their positions daily as some kind of a solution to overleverage makes no sense whatsoever. And he’s delusional about research skills of WSB posters as compared to Wall Street analysts.

>He didn’t have any answer as to fate of new bag holders he created with his tweet. Perhaps, but like his response to this question pointed out: neither did wallstreet when they left the US population as bag holders for all their damage in the past (ie, 2008). Additionally, the only people left being bag holders here so far are the hedge fund (and their copycats) taking such an absurd short position.

Exactly, the way that I understand it, the only bag holders are the hedge funds and other shorters. At 140%, the risk is minimal.

Ah thanks. I've replaced it with another link that's still working, which I don't remember how I found.

Gone as well :(

This new "feature" is very much appreciated. It would have been great during the deplatforming storm, as well. Hopefully it will be infrequently necessary. But I suspect that we're living in "interesting times".

Which new feature? I should probably know what people are appreciating :)

Manually aggregating the onslaught of related links. Very useful

You didn't think that you'd be able to avoid this in the future, now did you? You've established a precedent (at least for huge, fast moving (disruptive) events) :)

Please don't post like this—it's against the site guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html If you feel that another comment is wrong, the way to respond is to show how it's wrong, include additional relevant information, and avoid name-calling.

These comments are groundless libel. Why your rules would protect them is beyond any explanation. I have never once been the person shoveling BS on this forum. But you treat your posters like a bunch of thin-skinned babies. Some deep self-reflection would do these passive-aggressive egomanics some good. I've been around the engineering community long enough to know how these self-important trolls work. You should kno…

We can all use some deep self-reflection.

If you know a better way to do that, I'm all ears. There are a lot of constraints on this problem.

Best interview on boomer network ever. $AMC

I thought it was incredible. At one point Palihapitiya criticized CNBC host Scott Wopner for defending the way things have always been done on Wall Street at the expense of the Robinhood investment crowd. Palihapitiya argues that the Robinhood crowd, the /r/wallstreetbets subscribers, should win and the institutional investment community should lose when the "smart money" gets the trade this wrong. I agree with him.

> "I thought it was incredible. [...] ...the "smart money" gets the trade this wrong."

I assume you're referring to the ' '. Whether GME is worth $5 or $30, the stock rose to $500, and that's not fundamentally a misunderstanding of value. funds cooked the grenade too long (to use another ), and and the crowd slapped it out of their hand before they could throw it. Boom.

No?
