Yes

While owning stock will give you right for a piece of company profit, people buy and sell them based on "growth potential"

Pure madness.

@thestrongest @orekix
That is only part one

Part two: they will choose a company where they do own a ton of low value stock and warn people that "another short squeeze is comming".

"The right thing"

This is why I hate all of dem Educated idiots. The fact, that someone wrote a book recommending you a risky move does not make it less risky.

Just, because someone wrote in book that inflation is not a tax does not change it's properties.

These people accept everything they're told, and then are genuinely surprised, that gambling can end up by them loosing... :awooREEE:

Stock market is a ridiculous concept to begin with. People are buying/selling companies not based on their earning, but reputation.

That changes an economically-sufficient cell into effectively a trading card.

And all of that, so owner can grow the company faster, while forever giving up his right for company's profit. :alexjonesheadscratch:

I mean, I basically don't see how this strategy doesn't spread. Look at any dying company, invest heavily, watch as the hedgies freak out.

Even now I bet some are hammering a short position on GameStop thinking "it must come down". What if everyone just holds/keeps buying for a year? How many would get sucked in and blown up by their own greed?

Fuck "fundamentals". The stock market has been detached from the actual economy for a long time now. Memes are just as good of a reason to invest as whatever some dipshit is saying their projections for Q3 are.
