The more I read about this Reddit squeeze the more I realize how much it benefited the corporate suits. Certainly some of them got squeezed for shorting the stocks but the vast majority of shares in these companies were owned by suits. People with the experience and knowledge to profit heavily when the prices skyrocketed.

No question some of the Reddit crowd profited (my son made $2500 and a kid at work made $32K). But they took it from each other not from corporate America.

I'm pretty sure the OP is joking (I laughed). Either way, maybe mods oughta consider deleting this thread, because, given all that's happening at the moment, it could lead to some unwanted attention/maybe even litigation for the site.

I'm very long SMPS but diversified between carbon and steel rails. I'm a bit young to be all-in on them though. See how it plays out.

Disclaimer: if you take stock advise from me you are an idiot. But no, really, short TSLA. Let's see if the Reddit crowd has the cash to squeeze that.

The "suits" are laughing at how easily they deflected the 'credit' for the squeeze to Reddit, and how big money is not behind it, but the $600 stimulus checks.
Squeezes don't last too long, GME, KOSS, etc, should be over this week.

So, will the Reddit guys say when to sell, or will they be buying to the bottom?
I think the GME squeeze will end soon.
