    If it causes these people even momentary discomfort, which it did, I consider it a win personally. That's how low my standards are at this point because of how depressing things are in America.

      If you read about the Citadel, Melvin and Robinhood connection, you'd see that really this was just a big move to consolidate a smaller hedge fund into a bigger hedge fund, with r/wsb being a front to do all that movement.

              We won't know anything concrete until the dust settles but if Citadel is like 4x bigger by then, it won't be much of a surprise lol

              Also thank you for posting that, I felt like I was going crazy looking for some deeper meaning or explanation to all this other than "hedge fund bad, reddit fight big hedge fund". Spared me my sanity lmao

        I wouldn’t say your first point was the intention, but is certainly a benefit. This is a good thread for anyone interested in getting acquainted with some of the behind the scenes action

      it gave rich shits a moment of worry, but what is more likely to happen is more people will think they can win big too and theyll lose at the Wall Street casino

    The funniest (painful) thing about all of this is that hedge funds will be the ones who benefit from this the most.
