I couldn't resist the urge and bought in today. Only 15 shares so not taking too big of a risk

I wanted to, but I decided to not be dumb. “But if I set my sell for 5% more than my buy, it’s basically guaranteed money. In and out quick”. I said that last time. Lost 10%.

1924 - A stock goes up because the value of a company seems to be increasing.
2023 - A stock goes up because a guy named Roaring Kitty gets back on Twitter.

Remind me next time someone tries to convince everyone that the Dow is an accurate barometer of the US Economy.

Unusual whales started tweeting about it on April 24. Right now, the entire options chain is ITM. Last time that happened, it skyrocketed.

Very tempting although I don’t see it going to $480 again. Let’s ride.

It would only have to make it to $120. There was a 4-for-1 stock split a couple years back. Hit $80 in premarket earlier this morning.

Who is pushing it this time?
It looks like it's call options and high short interest just like last time. There's a whole financial services committee report on the first run up. Short interest was and has always been falsely reported. It was up to 226% last time (per the report); speculation is that short positions were still never closed.

I jumped in on AMC at $6 and GME at $30 yesterday after hours.

I sold AMC today between $9 and $10 once it started dropping from its high of $11. I tried to get out of GME at $60, but I didn't execute in time. Now, it's sinking into the $50 range. I may hold onto it for a little while, but if it drops into the $40 range, I'll may drop out while I'm still ahead.

Guilty. I'm not great at investing in stocks. It gives me too much anxiety. I have an old rollover IRA that I play around with, so it's all kind of house money, but every time I throw even a little bit into a risky situation, my brain releases way too much cortisol for me to enjoy it.

I'm sure folks made a killing and that's all well and good. It's better for the economy when speculative assets return a profit than when they fail to do so. One of the best bargains in stocks right now is AT&T with their 6% dividend and ultra low forward PE.

Looks like a mass sell off this morning. Trading halted 4 times already.

I'm still in. Been sitting on it for three years and adding more here and there when it dips down real low. At this point, I'm totally content to continue sitting on it for years longer and betting on a company turnaround. Gamestop has zero debt, $1 billion in cash, and has cut costs and managed to turn a profit last year on a "dying brick and mortar" business model. If they could invest some of that money and be successful in the digital gaming arena I think they'd be priced higher similar to tech stocks instead of being priced as a brick and mortar.
