GME might be the greatest stock ever.

I hope Game Stop created a trading department. Probably make more from playing the swings on their own stock than selling games this year.

It is like winning a lottery and missing the deadline to claim your earnings multiple times on the same day.

It is too rich for me. Oh well, I still have a couple of long term call options for AMC, so let’s go AMC

I know this was likely a joke but there are a significant amount of securities regulations that restrict the trading of ones own stock. Unfortunately for the company this kind of volatility is not a good thing.

It was a joke, but in truth the SEC is probably too busy going after retail traders for GME for the 8 people that work there to bother looking at the companies themselves.

Bought 1 at 40, 1 at 170, sold one at 335 today and bought it back at 250. Going to hold on to at least 420 now but it is a fun roller coaster.

Well give credit to anyone left bag holding over $300 on the first run, if they held they are golden. Now hopefully they learned a good lesson on when not to buy.

That was a wild tank on $GME earlier today; heard their was a large buy of ours one hour before. Wouldn’t be surprised if the hedge funds are behind the dump and rise, cashing out both ways.

Is the available float that small that a hedge fund can make it move like that?

It's absolutely fascinating to watch the price action. Defies any sort of conventional logic.

Finviz is showing a float of 54.16M, seems easily doable for a large hedge fund and yes it is pretty fascinating to watch. It looks like $AMC and $GME basically tanked around the same time.

Questrade is down this morning. Not ideal. Even their main webpage. Somebody probably broke DNS. Somebody probably getting fired.

I've been logged in all morning, no issues; maybe it's your ISP? I'm with Telus.

Huh, I can access it on my office machine which is on Shaw. At home I'm using Google DNS, so maybe it's a Google problem.
