    The evil billionaire hedge funds pay people to go to reddit and say "why are you guys dumping your life savings into a 30 year old department store, that's a bad investment." They do this to stop the reddit investors from investing and getting rich when the price of the stock goes to the moon.

    The good billionaires trying to unload their declining stock on credulous retail traders definitely wouldn't pay people to go on reddit and tell people to buy/hold the stock forever. Nope. Because they're good billionaires who want you to be rich like them. Only bad billionaires tell you not to buy shitty stocks.

      Somehow that screenshot is from r/elonmusk, not superstonk or bbby. What does FUD even mean in the context of a person?

        Same thing because Elon is tesla. It comes primarily from the stonk subs because all those people are stonk and crypto people. You're creating FUD about Elon's brilliant plans to make us all rich by putting doge on twitter and TESLA being the leader in EVs.
