Re: GME

GME price currently at $213.07. Down significantly since open (and Friday's close). "Funny business" behind-the-scenes or retail buyers selling? When is it supposed to start heading to the moon?

Re: GME

I just type in GME to the search bar and move the slider on the chart, where it opened at 381 then bounced around for a while. At 1430 it was at 256, at 1515 it was at 322 for the 25% gain in an hour, then it finished the day at $328. I guess that’s what Ct-Scott did, looked at the opening but not ...

Well, I'm not seeing any magical boost in the price of GME today. When's it supposed to start lifting off towards the moon?

Re: GME

I think it's interesting that Gill had no desire to "stick it to the man" and was genuinely into Gamestop as early as 2019. But, it didn't hurt him that so many on social media did and do harbor that desire. On that note, that's part of the reason why I haven't (yet, anyway) jumped on AMC, Nokia, N...

Re: GME

A couple of random thoughts... 1) I don't consider myself knowledgeable enough to have any strong opinions pro/con short-sellers (or hedge funds, for that matter). I did find this thread on Twitter by Cory Doctorow pretty informative (if accurate). Here's the specific quote of interest re:short sell...

Re: GME

I wonder when the hedge funds' contracts expire on GME? The WSB people (well, it seems like everyone, at this point) think they're still sticking it to the hedge funds, but from what I understand, it could have already expired. Supposedly sometime Friday I have heard. This is my current problem. Th...

WHAT THIS ANTHONY DENIER: Well, it wasn’t our choice. Our clearing firm gave us a call and said we’re going to have to stop allowing new opening positions in the three names, AMC, GME, and KOSS. Highly volatile, and what happens is this is not a political decision. And unfortunately, it got politic...

Re: GME

Well, I did it. I bought some via TD Ameritrade (via their website). At least I think I did. I'm such a dope when it comes to buying/selling stock (the only stock I ever purchased was AAPL, which I made the mistake of selling around March or so last year), so I'm still a little fuzzy on whether the ...

Re: GME

GME plummeting today as a result Robinhood (and others?) restricting buying, but not selling. Disgusting. But I never got in, so now I'm watching to see if it craters and may try to still buy using TD Ameritrade (which, I *think* might only be restricting certain types of transactions, and not simpl...

Re: So I got married! (Not really)

A few random thoughts... - I envy people who remember their dreams, especially so many details. It's rare that I remember anything about what I dreamed about the night before. Is this perhaps a side-effect of me drinking in the evening and having sleep apnea? I'm pretty sure my inability to remember...

COVID-19 - lack of logic while frustration boils over

More and more news each day of a growing number of people getting fed up with the current lockdown/rules. I see things from both perspectives. My wife has some medical concerns, including asthma. My daughter also has asthma. I've got some issues of my own. So, when I go out (I'm the one who goes out...

Re: Time to replace Macbook Pro?

Yee ha! So - what's the consensus on picking upgrades? Option 1: get a basic configuration and plan on replacing in 4-5 years. Option 2: max out memory and cpu, and count on keeping it for 7 years or more. I did Option 2 in 2013, and the limit I ran into is the battery - performance is otherwise fi...

Re: Every New Car You Can Still Buy with a Manual Transmission

I prefer manual transmission. My first MT was a 1991 Toyota MR2, bought new. When I married my wife she had a 1993 (I think) Nissan Altima that was also MT and a pretty nice car, overall. Quite some time later I bought a 2008 (I think) Mazda RX-8, brand new. That was so much fun to drive, but horrib...

Warren Buffet goes nuts and exposes the fraud that is the USA

Unlike so many in the knuckleheads forum, I'm not a Warren Buffet groupie, but I just read this article and was pretty amazed and impressed by how clearly/simply/casually he expresses his confidence in the US economy based simply on the fact that this country can pay its own debts via their own prin...

Anyway, Scott, here's the quote In fact, based on my very limited understanding of what "patent trolls" are, I actually consider them to be a very good thing. So that's that.

Re: Intellectual Property (IP) & Theft

And I doubt Scott said trolls are a good thing. In any case, the problem is not patent trolls. The problem is really not even other people who hold patents. It's the patent system itself. It's sort of like--for those of us who oppose welfare, the problem is not the people who sign up to get it. If ...

Re: Coronavirus General Discussion

They did close the stores in liquor-monopoly Pennsylvania, announcing the last day or two that they'd be open. They had hoped that people would just buy in moderation and were then shocked, shocked to see a line down the block in what was a record-setting day of purchases. My brother is in PA and h...
