    They do know the point of stonks is to eventually actually sell them, right?

      No they don't. They think you're supposed to hold them forever until they're worth $42069 a share and by that time you don't have to sell because Elon will make you rich with dogecoin, that you also never sell.

      Isn't it weird how these people found the exact strategy that makes fintech companies rich? Buy stocks when nobody wants them so you get extra kickback from wholesalers, then hold them forever so you can lend out their money. Totally a coincidence that internet strangers pushed meme stocks and told a generation of new retail traders how to give away their money.

      The Sage of Omaha has said that his favorite amount of time to hold stocks is "forever".

      You can borrow against their value if you need cash. But wealthy people don't need that much cash. You sure do if you drive a junker like that, though.

        Buffet himself famously drives some shitty old car doesn’t he? At least that’s part of his PR schtick

        The Sage of Omaha has said that his favorite amount of time to hold stocks is “forever”.

        This presumes his analysis at time-of-purchase continues to be correct over an indefinite timeline. Which is sort of like saying "I like to hold stocks that go up". You do, eventually, need to sell the equity in order to re-balance your portfolio (when a stock appears overvalued relative to the market) or simply to spend the money. Also to do shit like pay off your friends in the Senate or send kickbacks to your cronies in the bureaucracy.

      That's why I love GME/AMC/Superstonk so much. They're pyramid scheme cults that only double down on the mechanics of both when they can't psychically manipulate the stock market with one neat trick. They'll become monks in an AMC cinema before they question their faith.

        It's really a when prophesy fails kinda thing. Like it was funny in the two weeks it was happening when hedge fund guy got angry on TV telling people to stop buying the stock, some people made some money at their expense, and then it dumped to a normal value and it was over, then YEARS PASSED and people think there's still anything happening there.

          All the failed prophesy of Millerism and all of the convoluted bible maths to justify why the world is actually ending next month. Like the black death it's one of those neat historical things I didn't think I'd get to see vividly in my lifetime.

        Capitalism is a Lovecraftian horror, economists its priests, and these bazinga brains their acolytes. Nowhere have I seen this phenomenon more perfectly distilled than in that thread.

    https://www.reddit.com/r/amcstock/comments/tapjct/i_just_applied_to_work_for_the_greatest_company/ Here they are doxxing themselves to show that they applied to work the floor at an AMC cinema, where the money stolen from their wages would be funneled to shareholders if it was making a profit. They don't even list crew wages in this state where they're legally required to so it's probably minimum wage or pays less than fast food does.

        Envisions random ape walking in after he's hired and yelling ROBERT*

        Pickle Rick became the funniest shit I've ever seen when that guy was so devoted to a terrible meme that he jumped on a McDonalds counter and started screaming "I'm Pickle Rick." He sincerely thought it was funny in a way that makes it unintentional absurdist fodder.

        The guy who goes into an AMC cinema to scream "Robert!" is going to be so hyped up on reddit energy and desperate to make a successful post out of it. He's not going to stop at screaming "Robert!" once, especially if there is no response. He's going to do something so uniquely cringe-worthy that it gives a whole new way to mock stock cults. His pain will birth the meme that ends all of this.

      For reference, down from $25.46 on 11 August 2022. Peaked at $59.26 on 18 June 2021. Whatever three successive dead cat bounces is called, that's what these dumbasses are thrilled about.

          I'd honestly be surprised if this guy didn't buy at the peak.

    The funny thing is, you could bet anything that Wall Street guys are shorting AMC and GME to make money off these idiots.

    Billy would be fine if the Doctors realize they ALL need to give Billy the APE insulin. If every Doctor gave Billy the APE insulin, then the APE Insulin would save Billy's life.
