u/DeepFuckingValue shits all over the writers narrative. Watch the video linked below if you disagree with me. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZTr1-Gp74U&t=49m0s I guess if you are not used to interacting with people who have a sense of humour about everything and don’t take life too seriously then you are going to struggle to understand what’s going on in WSB. How can a gambler be nihilistic? Don’t you need hope to…

Case in point... The reddit user (u/DEEPFUCKINGVALUE) with the largest (publicly proven) gains in the recent GME episode seeded their position with over $750,000. They first showed up on r/WSB in March of 2019 when they first publicized their position.
He started off with $50k, but the cost basis is $750k now because he's cashed out some of the position.

I posted a quarter million GME YOLO on WSB over a week ago and it was real (ended up making around $300k and I only have 1000 shares left, so even if it went to $0 right now I'd still have a nice profit)
I saw posts yesterday asking if it's still worth buying GME at market open. I was sure these people are crazy and about to lose their asses. I just checked price action a few minutes ago and it went from $60 to $144 before selling off back to $70s. Crazy.

They say selling call options is "picking up pennies in front of a steamroller": most of the time you collect premium, and then occasionally you get run over by a steamroller. This is the steamroller.
I think you misunderstood. It was meant for those who bought the GME calls, not for those who wrote the calls.

Unsuccessful or incompetent coup attempt is still a coup.
I guess I'll be pedantic for a moment. A coup, by definition, is a seizure of power from government. If they are not successful at seizing power, then it was not a coup.

It's an insurrection (non-government/military attacking government property/people). A coup would be if it was another wing of the government or the military doing the attacking.

It was an attempted coup.
