Think I saw the 10 yr at 1.13%.

Feel this has to be Covid related, Covid's effect on inlation being included here. And if it is, and we peak in cases in the next couple weeks, as some are suggesting,(as well as the enhanced unemployment benefits ending) that might be a good time swoop in. At least on those sectors that are struggling with covid and inflation issues.

The Delta surge in other countries (India and UK) has been quick up and then quick down. US cases may start decreasing big time within a few weeks.

May be a nice buying opportunity for those reopening sectors.

1.129 is the low from July 20th.

Apparently an important technical level.

HOOD going full meme.
ARK has started buying HOOD for their Fintech ETF (at least). Bought a lot at the end of day 1, but then really slowed. Yesterday they only bought a little. They normally go all in when they want to add a new stock to the portfolio. Gotta imagine they saw what was happening with the WSB crew.

Wonder if they sell and take a nice quick profit when it get's crazy like this.

Yes. I keep reminding myself that you can never criticize someone for taking profits. Bought it at 145, sold at 302 and I need to get rid of any emotional regret .
I was 130ish and 220. and it dipped just after 220 and I was very close to buying back, but did not.

Sounds like a big hedge fund or two may go under. We can all agree that shorters are the bottom feeders of the market. Funny to watch.

The ones that put out false or misleading information are. The ones who analyze and discover insanity or a pump and dump scheme before the dumping begins not so.

I like the shorters, they are necessary. HF, by nature, are different than the reddit crowd fundamentally speaking. All for it, bring risk back

The chinese virus narrative needs to die. It's absurd to carry on for something with over 99.6 survivability. World is not crashing so buy accordingly

But the Chinese government's hand has become much heavier. Caveat emptor

GME @ 147.30.

AMC @ 30.40 (bet all those who snapped up the new stock issued at 72 must be thrilled).

What happens to HOOD if/when the meme craze ends and most people go back to their offices?

Shorters may be necessary, but I still love it when they get crushed.

30% return in a month, hell yeah. Need to find more crumbs.

LOL. 30% of crumbs is still crumbs.

You two need to take this petty fight onto your own private chat room. of course short sellers are very important for the market. They help figure out the companies that are scams and make money off their research. They also allow to floor to the stock market. Without short sellers we would see much more violent movements in the stocks markets (bot up and down).

My bad. We should make way for all the other insightful posts.

Don't buy it. People whine about pump and dump, well, hedge funds play the exact same game in the opposite direction. Happy to see WSB take some of them out.

As you saw with the GME and Robinhood debacle, hedge funds always win

Not always. Question is, is the "smart money" along with the insiders to the extent they are legally allowed getting out of HOOD this morning. As far as GME and AMC are concerned it's "Oaoooga, dive, dive."

VIAC up on a beat and expanding streaming.

Does this finally get it moving again? Been stuck around $40 since April.

Strange day for me on the market, though things are going well with a lot more up than down stocks.

Strongly up: MELI, SE, SQ
Strongly down: ETSY, ROKU
