To clarify for you, the market maker won't be hurt this is just math to them. The people you think are making out are the ones who are going to get hurt. None of the gains you are seeing are real yet until they sell. Some will actually get out and make bank the vast majority of them will not. It's an impossibility. Nobody is going to hold the equity at these levels, people are jerking off over paper gains that will not survive. The first few out the door will make bank, the massive hoard will get slaughtered. It's basic supply/demand and it's inevitable.

LachiusTZ LachiusTZ last post felt mean. Sorry. Market Maker is not the party in this you are thinking. I don't give a shit about Citrone and Andrew left or any other Wallstreet player in this. I love watching them get hurt at the hands of retail. You are just missing the role market making plays in the options market, they provide liquidity that is their job this is done to generate healthy and free flowing markets, and currently in this environment it is doing the exact opposite of its intended role.

Badly.

You’ll have a few smart winners that are selling very soon. The rest...WSB loss porn.

Lol, and I'm ok with that too.

No you don't get it, Jesus. Please just stop talking about it, your hurting my head trying to figure out how you think that makes sense. You are 100% wrong which is good news because its not far off from being right just start thinking the exact opposite and you're there.

Its no worry, I kind of enjoy slinging shit as long as ppl dont stay pussy hurt about it too long.

I just love the spectacle, and if a few hundred ppl go completely broke and a financial institution takes a mild ass kicking, I'm ok with that. Sounds like its all working as intended.

With the big losers being the ppl that are shorting, right? The buzzard fucks that are betting on ppl to lose. Because they are being required to lay out the capital to purchase their short position b/c of liability and inability to cover.

But honestly, if I am not understanding some facet of this, I'd love to actually know what I have wrong.

By the time I got out of the shower and opened my screen the AMC train had left the station. I might try to super out of the money options at the open.

I thought about it last Friday and didnt pull the trigger.

Someone get those idiots that short squeeze list and lets all hope they go through them 1 by 1.

Also was going to do the option play at open.

The move has nothing to do with the company, they could be a lemonade stand, it's gone viral nobody participating cares one hoot about Gamestop, so I wouldn't waste anytime trying to have it make sense in that context. They are interested because they have the short side trapped.

I am conflicted on this. One one hand I am concerned about the stability of the over-all market. On the other hand this thing got to 138% of the float shorted. If we remove the moral hazard then that creates the shit we saw in 2006-8. Sometimes you have to let people pay the piper. Even if its the autists blowing the pipe.

The smart winners have already closed their positions. This is like the stock version of the USO debacle back in April with crude futures.

The shorts have been annihilated. Rightly so. That being said, legitimate short players do the market a service. They dig through the minutia and find the companies who aren't playing on the up and up. Think Heisenberg and NKLA. Heisenberg figured out the bullshit with the demo. The Citrons on the world need to burn for what they do is just market manipulation for their own gain.

Key is to remember that options are a derivative not the actual thing. The system works very well under normal circumstances at the extremes the absurdity of it bubbles up. Imagine GME has 1000 share of common stock total. Selling one 1 option contract represents 100 shares. Now what if Lach goes to the market and says I want to buy 100 call contracts on GME. So you are entering a contract to buy 10x the number of shares than even exist. How then does the market maker balance the risk of your trade to provide you the ability to make it?

This applies to shorting that caused this in the first place. We allow more shares to be borrowed (this is what a short is) than there are shares available. When shares are shorted brokerages have to have the shares for you to borrow against, but derivates cloud this balance and allow it to grow beyond the actual market for that stock. As humorous as this event is, it is a result of system flaws not the normal course of markets.

Same shit as took us down in 09 derivates without proper regulatory control will blow up a system whether it's mortgages, vix products, or even GME. The market sniffs out these imbalances and exploits them until it blows up or is corrected.

AAPL, MSFT, and the rest of big tech pushing higher into this week's earnings. Unless some crazy even happens, this week should be green sailing.
