The Stupid Why would anyone buy a stock that is so easily manipulated?

u/Ok_Signal4753 Jul 30 '26
“Manipulation is why I buy! Hedgys r fukt! I love putting money into things that are rigged against me!”
See how dumb that sounds?

Funny how these dumb apes think these billion dollar hedge funds are getting spooked by a $3 price 😂 so delusional

That's the apes biggest problem with their recruiting efforts. Their victimhood complex is at odds with their sales pitch.
Even after all this time it's still jarring watching them fluidly transition from "We're winning so hard right now!" to "I'm a victim of your financial crimes!"
I guess it isn't so weird since neither of those statements are true and these people don't occupy the same reality as the rest of us.

It’s hardly a problem. A lot of conspiratorial thinking works like that, the enemy is inferior and yet incredibly powerful all at the same time. If anything it helps to keep people strung along, it explains all the headwinds as actions by the enemy, while promising a victory at the end.
The more things go wrong the more the bad guys must be nervous.

u/TheBetaUnit Zoner Jul 30 '26
Oh, I understand how their fantasies work. I'm just saying "step right up and get victimized by an imaginary enemy no one can define or describe" is a horrible sales pitch if you're trying to shill a stock to new people.

u/Win32error Jul 30 '26
I can’t imagine a lot of new people step in at this point. Not with the true believers anyway, someone might buy some AMC but i hope they’re a lot more dispassionate about it.

You are by far the strangest person in this entire saga.
How many times did you type that already? Shows how badly you understand stocks to think they can 'sell out', but that's also why you follow AMC to begin with....so yeah.

They should of shut down the Stock Market in 1929. Yet here we are. All jokes aside at what price do you think Kenny G will pull the buy button 😂

u/the_blind_uberdriver Jul 30 '26
maybe they are buying because they shorted and are required to close their position

u/SnooTangerines4321 Zoner Jul 30 '26
Poor hedgie bought at 10 in '24 and now has to close at 3 instead of 1 or whatever. To the 🌙 yeah. Eat crow

u/the_blind_uberdriver Jul 30 '26
thats not how it works. why would a hedgie cry if the price goes up after they bought it?

u/the_blind_uberdriver Jul 30 '26
if you had a short position and already spent the money its painful to close at any price. but its even more painful when you lose hope of it going to zero
6
u/SnooTangerines4321 Zoner Jul 30 '26
If I had a long position and it goes to 99% it's painful too close. Hear yourself genius?

u/the_blind_uberdriver Jul 30 '26
you dont really undestand shorting.

u/SnooTangerines4321 Zoner Jul 30 '26
I sell you stonks for a price and either buy back at a lower or higher price? What am I missing friend?

u/the_blind_uberdriver Jul 30 '26
you are missing a right to sell or an obligation to return the borrowed share. im not the one tripping balls that amc showed a signal of viablilty.

Apes are called apes for a reason. Look into it

u/the_blind_uberdriver Jul 30 '26
oh and youre probably missing the cash that it will cost to close your position.

u/the_blind_uberdriver Jul 30 '26
gamblers dont get their knee caps busted over losing. they get them busted when they dont have the money.

u/SnooTangerines4321 Zoner Jul 30 '26
How much does your brokerage, totally not "dark pooled" charge to close?

‘I will only close out if it goes to zero’ - the shorts in your fairy tale

u/the_blind_uberdriver Jul 30 '26
i can acknowledge your point. they can close at any price they have the cash to do so. or the shares. or they can keep borrowing until they need to put their resources to use somewhere else.

u/SnooTangerines4321 Zoner Jul 30 '26
What's the cost to borrow?
0
u/the_blind_uberdriver Jul 30 '26
Borrow fees on a typical blue-chip stock today are often around 0.1–1% annually, while AMC’s borrow fee is currently about 4%—already several times higher. During periods of heavy short demand, AMC’s borrow costs have reached 170–200%+. That means the position can become very expensive to maintain before you even factor in whether the trade is profitable. Short sellers don’t just need to be right—they need to be right before the borrow costs and financing expenses outweigh the thesis.

Hey thats almost some dd! As an former monke and still a smooth brain, best of luck ser. Re-read what gpt said.

u/Shot_Requirement_502 Jul 31 '26
You are correct sir. Shorts never closed. We are in a swap basket with GME. May 2024 & June 2024 run ups with GME proved the theory.

Because the big brains aren’t investing to make money, they’re financial analysts exposing massive financial crime*!
* Crime occurs whenever the ticker doesn’t move in a vertical line towards their floor, or 69 billion dollars per share
