Grandy Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 It's satisfying watching wall street bozos sh*t their pants when a bunch of normal people decide to invest en masse and use a "free market" to their advantage. Especially after watching some of those guys at the top treat our Economy like a casino which landed us in economic turmoil many times before. Example being 08 which wrecked the lives of millions. This all Highlights a greater issue, and its fascinating to see it arise from redditors thinking it would be cool to invest in archaic companies. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily, I caught a twitter alert right when it was announceded that RobinHood was pulling AMC etc. from the platform. Sold my AMC pre-market at about $17/share for a nice little profit. Last time I looked it was sub $10. They really really try to **** over the little guy. This tweet just about sums the whole situation up. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took my NY unemployment money from this week and sunk it into GME. Someone tell me what to do next. Ride the wave if you want, or just flip ASAP. Its not an investment strategy, its a way to tell Hedge fund MF'ers to go to hell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxman Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 At 3:54 today I bought into the dip. I took a few thousand out of a mutual fund and said let's have a little fun. AMC and GME. Immediately they started climbing. That is the percentage increase after they stopped updating with the after hours trading. I will watch it in the morning and don't plan on riding anything to the moon. If I can get 50% on a retail store that is going out of business with in 5 years, I will be happy and call it a day. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guys on reddit have been talking about holding GME and AMC stocks until they increase greatly, with GME going in the thousands. Sounds far fetched, but with the resolve these guys have had so far I wouldn't be shocked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same, been hodling LTC for years and doing a bit of trading in XRP/XLM but got the tip last night from discord and chucked a few hundred on Doge. Big early gains but seems to be up and down now, hoping for another push today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The buy will be at the close today. I do think we are likely to see a recession and earnings shrinking. I also think the markets will be significantly higher 5 years out than they are today. There are so many more middle class and highly educated people across the globe I just can't believe we will go backwards for very long. I did the same .... Good to see others are thinking similar.... Now hopefully we are thinking correctly ?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They own a ton of factory outlet and regular plazas. They had a 98% occupancy rate and things were looking up. Paid a decent dividend too. We'll it was down to $6 in October before it's recent bounce back to $16 which still has me puzzled. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having worked in Finance for a retailer that went bankrupt in 2018, there is no way that I am investing in Retail, although Wal-Mart is probably an exception. I am not a day trader, have no interest in getting into that game. I tend to invest long term (which has worked well for me over the past 30 years) and Retail is not a segment I want any part of right now. There may be short-term profits to be made, but I am just going to sit on the sideline and watch as this drama plays out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IndianaJet Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 It will be interesting to see if GME and AMC have a late Friday afternoon dump from profit takers. I scooped up a little more APP today on this sell off, but have stayed out of the fray and am just holding stocks that I like long now.

I tried buying it but couldn't on TD Ameritrade. Ended up selling the GME and AMC that I bought yesterday. I think I bought GME at $190 and sold for $313 this morning. AMC was at $8.83 and I sold it at $13.15. Funny stuff. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
