  • Funny how at the same time the OCC is trying to push through a change to margin calls that would prevent bankruptcies (and thus shorts closing), Wall Street is trying to convince us that margin debt is decreasing and there’s nothing but continuous gains for the future of our stock market.

    A persistent decline in margin debt suggests that a red flag from the meme-stock mania of 2021 is currently non-existent.

    If that’s the case, then the proposed rule SR-OCC-2024-001 is completely unnecessary and irrelevant. Why would they even propose this if margin debt is so low?

    The fact is they hid all the margin debt in dark pools and swaps, and they are bullshitting us. By all rights these banks and hedge funds should have gone bankrupt already, and they are shitting themselves in fear knowing that a day will come when their debts come due.

    While they are posting bullshit articles like this to compel us to give up, they crawl on hands and knees to the regulatory agencies and beg for leniency. That’s what SR-OCC-2024-001 is. It’s a pathetic cry for help from a self-entitled baby who doesn’t want his pretty little ass spanked by daddy.

    I agree OP. Don’t bow. They lie and lie and lie, and while it is frustrating that they can seemingly refuse to pay their debts indefinitely, they are not all-powerful and the only thing we need to do to win this is hold.



  • The horror aspects were fine. Though I admit it tiptoed along a PG-13 rating. What bothered me was the great fairy scene. You didn’t want your parents walking in when she started screaming and laughing and giggling.

    I swear I remember her spreading her legs during the bless animation when she holds her arms out to you, but I don’t see that on youtube videos. Anyone else remember this? On youtube she just lifts one left at the knee, which isn’t what I remember.




  • The fact that Cohen is personally invested in Gamestop was a contributing factor behind why I decided to go all-in on GME instead of cashing out at a loss.

    That and the fact that Gamestop isn’t in debt, has over a billion cash on hand, is expanding its online storefront and built distribution centers for online sales, and is building a digital games storefront with PLAYR.

    They’re in a good financial position, have great leadership, and are making all the right decisions.

    So why is Gamestop constantly being bashed by the media? Why have all these investor websites who previously didn’t bat an eye when retail lost money, suddenly so concerned about my investment in Gamestop?

    They aren’t half as smart as they think they are. Money has been raining on fools for far too long and it’s time the fools lost their money.



  • Caeser2021 5 hr. ago Your point about the burnout and mods, there was never ever any interaction on mod selection, in fact if my memory serves me, there were instances where it was brought up by the community how the Mod team had grown and how people were selected for it.

    So with all due respect, the community hasn’t asked the mods to do anything, because the community had no knowledge or input on their selection.

    jackofspades123 3 hr. ago I encourage you to read the open transparency threads in the discord. You might find them interesting and eye opening.

    ^ THAT Why should members of a subreddit have to sign up to a discord in order to be involved in the selection of a mod on their subreddit? This is like the Vogons in Hitchiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. “How could you not know that your planet was going to be bulldozed? The relevant form was hung in the Intergalactic Bureau of Space Administration’s office for the past two years!”

    The people running the place have to work for the federal government. Only the feds could set up this level of compartmentalization.
