Something from Reddit about the stonk.

@sullybiker i don't mind the part where no one cares in 6 months, but i don't necessarily like the part where people like me who didn't even know how to buy a stocks until 2 days ago don't get to keep all this free money.

@mlg If you ensure you've only spent what you're willing to lose and get out at the right time, it;ll be fine.

@mlg Nobody is going to take what's already been cashed out.

@sullybiker
Okay, let's see if I got this right.

The WSB investors who bought early are the top 10% of the pyramid.

The rest are the latecomers who will buy shares for support and to stick it to the man.

Sooner or later the top of the pyramid will cash out around 50% to 90% of the stocks.

At that moment, the stock price is going to drop like a block of cement.

The rest of the pyramid will end up losing most of their money

But it'll be worth it because "we showed them".

Did I get it right?

@mlg

@yuki @sullybiker You are probably right overall but there's a little detail that gives delusional people like me hope: other rich people first shorted the stock - they borrowed shares and sold them, but still owe shares back to the lenders. they HOPE the prices goes down so they can get shares for less than they paid. If it doesn't, they eventually have to pay a high price and lose money. So its not the bottom of the pyramid who loses, its the rich guys. but i dunno what im talking about.

@sullybiker If I didn't know any better, I'd swear this is a twist on the classic pump 'n' dump scheme. Someone's making out like a bandit and they aren't on Reddit.

@PeteMoss Absolutely. Do you know, I actuually wonder who is playing who with this. I don't think it's as simple as 'for the memes'.

@sullybiker Hell no, the memes are just bait to bring in the small fry and all their dollars.

I'm willing to bet some very smart person or group of people are playing both sides of this game and being extremely quiet about it. Anyone mentioned in the news is just a convenient decoy.
