Without looking into it, I'd imagine they got complaints from gay bears.Hedge fund managers are now a protected class.

Do you know much about reddit? Some people on twitter are saying the mods can't get rid of them all due to limits on banning.r/wallstreetbets set to private. Probably cleaning up all the bots trying to get people into BB and NOK.
They submitted a requested to Reddit to increase it, I think taking the sub private gets rid of everyone so that fixes it I think but I could also be making that up. There's a backup r/wallstreetbets2 that people are using in the meantime and the mods of WSB put out a message saying they'll be back. IIRC they also took it private last week.Do you know much about reddit? Some people on twitter are saying the mods can't get rid of them all due to limits on banning.
Cool. Thanks.They submitted a requested to Reddit to increase it, I think taking the sub private gets rid of everyone so that fixes it I think but I could also be making that up.

there are no real limits on banning*, but making new accounts is very easy and mods cannot detect it (admins maybe can). setting to pvt means new accounts cannot post since you need to be scubscribed before posting.Do you know much about reddit?

Yeah these sorts of professions are absolute scum. These people don’t actually contribute anything to society as a whole, they’re little more than parasites, and like you said, they’re as unethical as they come. I enjoy seeing them suffer, and I do hope that as many of them as possible lose everything from this.So am I supposed to feel bad and burn a candle for these short sellung hedgefund dudes or can I just point and laugh at them while they go down in flames?
To me a professional stock trader ranks below used car salesman and mob hitman in the ethical ladder of life, so feck em.
I only get half of what's going on, at best, but it's hilarious to watch. Loads of rich cnuts desperately trying to work out if there's a way they can still leave and take their ball home with them.Watching the ''free'' market in action is really something else.
It's the most radicalising tool on the planet.

Literally this - I'm not selling and I hope others aren't either. What an opportunity for joe public!I only get half of what's going on, at best, but it's hilarious to watch. Loads of rich cnuts desperately trying to work out if there's a way they can still leave and take their ball home with them.
"I still believe in markets. Markets do not fail us. We fail markets.""Get rid of them yee-yee ass stocks and you might get some bitches on your dick."
I've been reading wallstreetbets for a pretty long time, something of an expert I guess. If you ever need advice hit me up with some bread and we can do businessVery grateful for those who have simplified much of the exchanges in communication. I've more capital to invest due to developments so will be starting a portfolio soon. Mind you I'm starting with next to no knowledge about stocks bar minimal practical definitions and the 'intelligent investor' book via Benjamin Graham.

Isn't it just another thing to bet on? Rather than a stock going up you're hoping a stock goes down. Similar to betting on the Don't Pass line in craps.Short selling being a thing is just... bizarre.
Chamath articulating my thoughts better than I could ever do. I don't know how it came be right to short a company out of existence but the opposite is wrong. It's bullshit.
That CNBC dude was literally arguing "why should a hedge fund suffer because of 18 year old traders on a website"Chamath articulating my thoughts better than I could ever do. I don't know how it came be right to short a company out of existence but the opposite is wrong. It's bullshit.
"The wrong people made money"Oh no looks like the free market needs regulations. Who would have though
Feck Wall Street.
r/wsb has gone private at the moment. Would not be surprised if the subreddit ends up getting banned."The wrong people made money"
Yep agreed. The entire system is rigged and this is proving it.Oh no looks like the free market needs regulations. Who would have though
Feck Wall Street.
It's not personal, I just dont see the value in a profession were the only purpose is to generate money.No, you don't have to feel bad. But I don't what I ever did to you to be deserving of your scorn. However if it's the case then I'll be sure to despise you right back.
That Scott Wapner dude isn't wrong though. A lot of retail investors will be the ones getting hurt when this game of musical chairs stops.
They've been back for hours. The sub only went private to deal with the influx of bots who keep trying to shift people out of GME and into other tickers like NOK, AMC, BB so that the shorters don't get fecked so hard.r/wsb has gone private at the moment. Would not be surprised if the subreddit ends up getting banned.
It's a little ironic that hedge funds are the ones who fecked up here and are getting hurt, but somehow it's the retail investors who are going to feel the burn. Retail investors are smart, they can judge risk and they're investing responsibly with money they can afford to lose if need be - something that Melvin and co should probably have thought about doing themselves. This whole thing came about on the back of an enormous look at the situation and the numbers. The molly coddling of the every man by those who think they're privileged, sophisticated and superior whilst shorting a company 140% like fecking morons is on full display. It's really weird to ignore the fact that a hedge fund put themselves in a position of bankruptcy and then talk about how normal people will lose money as if that's somehow the issue. That was the whole point about Chamaths message.That Scott Wapner dude isn't wrong though. A lot of retail investors will be the ones getting hurt when this game of musical chairs stops.
I don't totally agree here. There were people in WSB who were putting everything they had. There was that kid in high school who convinced his parents to put all their 401k (it was roughly 300K) in GME. Countless other examples.It's a little ironic that hedge funds are the ones who fecked up here and are getting hurt, but somehow it's the retail investors who are going to feel the burn.
