Funny enough. WSB actually banned anyone who mentioned GME or BBBY. That ban seemed to have been lifted recently.

They banned GME because more and more people are not doing options on that stock and mention direct registration. WSB maintained that this was a subreddit for option bets and not not term holders of GME.

BBBY was banned because it fell below 500 million in marketcap.

It's a smart policy to ban mentions of companies with market cap under $500 million, easy to manipulate.

The days of company fundamentals being important seem to be over.

For retail investors, absolutely. But it also feels like a whole lot of newer, younger investors are gonna have to learn the hard way that this is not how to make money in the markets. And by hard way I mean absolutely losing their arses gambling on stocks instead of investing.

That's been the case for years, even decades. though.

I sometimes side with the thought process that supply and demand should be what creates stock price valuation.

All of this failure to deliver nonsense and cyclical runs on certain stocks clearly points to some plumbing issues within the entire market structure.

Another moment of truth

Boeing has had a decent run the last 6 months, especially the last month or two.

HEI dipped a while back and is back around 163-164/share.

AMZN really dipped and shot up a bit the last couple weeks. I just didn't want to add more to my position. Wasn't sure of their outlook.

Will the Stock Market react favorably to this?

China tells the world that the Maoist madness is over – we can all make money again

China has extended the olive branch to Western democracies and global capitalists alike, promising a new era of detente after the coercive “wolf warrior” diplomacy of the last five years.

My luck gonna run out soon. But proud of this one. Yolo’d my entire Fidelity ‘fun’ account into BBBY just minutes before close on Friday afternoon. It tanked 30% during Friday.

That $3200 turned into $4,059 this morning. A little over a 25% gain.


Sold at 10:07 am and went cash. Immediately after everything started tanking.

I had $1400 in that account in early November and now it’s 4K.

Absolute luck.

Not a fan of articles that rely on big words and loaded phrases instead of actually talking economics, but overall, yes, I do think China opening up more fully, and allowing people to travel will be a big tail wind.

I'm also very interested in the overall supply chain, especially food. More demand will just fuel more issues. I hope freeing up China also frees up more supply.

Thank you for taking the time to respond.

I find this interesting that a segment like this probably wouldn’t have aired on a major news channel just two years ago.

Really would like to see how it all plays out. This is the 2nd company in two months that have went public with their investigations in illegal market activity designed to artificially deflate valuations. The other being NWBO who claim they have hard proof that Citadel has been “spoofing” their stock.

History doesn’t always repeat itself, but it rhymes.

Revlon and BBBY


Revlon (top) filed paperwork that included bankruptcy talk (blue arrow).

BBBY also took a major dip on January 6th when it also filed paperwork with bankruptcy included.


This is what BBBY did. I find this stuff fascinating. If it keeps up then BBBY should retest it’s recent closing high of $5.25 in the next 3 weeks.

Took that $4059 into GME on Friday.



Now I want to swap back again

I don’t have the guts to lose more money on Xela (it’s a super trash company). But this volume it’s getting is impressive. I wonder how many Failure to Delivers are adding up.
