Gamestop ain't over

Gamestop ain’t over:

‍

Gamestop ain’t over.

‍

The story isn’t done.

‍

Ken Griffin and Wall Street aren’t out of the woods.

‍

Just finished ‘Dumb Money.’

‍

As someone who’s followed this for years, it was actually decent.

‍

Presented characters in good lights.

‍

The sentiment of the movie around Wall Street still remains.

‍

People hate them.

‍

They’ve ruined the global economy in the past.

‍

And are about to do it again.

‍

Millions of peoples lives ruined forever.

‍

All in the name of greed.

‍

Problem is those Wall Street folks haven’t stopped shorting.

‍

Meanwhile, the Internet hasn’t stopped buying.

‍

Every day you see more and more shares being directly registered.

‍

DRS baby.

‍

The glitch in the infinite money hack that Wall Street runs.

‍

Let me explain.

‍

Market makers like Citadel, State Street and Susquehana allow stock markets to work.

‍

They provide liquidity or shares for people to buy.

‍

If there aren’t any shares to buy, they’ll supply those shares and wait till they can fill the void.

‍

However, many times they may not find the shares to give to you.

‍

They therefore fail to deliver shares.

‍

They can decide to just not find them.

‍

And add non-existent liquidity to the system.

‍

If a company has 100 shares and no one wants to sell, the market maker will create more than 100 shares.

‍

The problem happens when people go short without owning the shares.

‍

Like we found out in 2021, Gamestop was shorted 140%.

‍

More shares were short on the stock than shares total.

‍

Many people since 2021 believe the situation was over.

‍

That shorts closed.

‍

Not covered, but closed.

‍

Wrong.

‍

They just kept shorting.

‍

With shares they don’t have.

‍

How?

‍

Derivatives.

‍

ETFs.

‍

Market makers providing ‘liquidity.’

‍

How screwed up is it that Ken Griffin can own and operate the largest market-making firm in the US AND have a hedge fund?

‍

He front runs the market through payment for order flow, then makes money with his hedge fund betting on those trades.

‍

Welcome to America.

‍

Where the ultra-wealthy rig the market.

‍

Where billionaires like Steve Cohen and Ken Griffin bail out their friends like Gabe Plotkin while millions suffer.

‍

Gamestop provided a beacon of hope.

‍

A reason to get up in the morning and believe in the good in the world.

‍

It still does.

‍

Millions of people haven’t left.

‍

They’ve bought more.

‍

And they’re taking them out of the market.

‍

Buckle up.

‍

This situation ain’t over.
