When he played in 2017?
-
They picked off Brady 3 times, should have been 4 and held Tampa in check in the second half. Seems very reactionary to me.

You don't think the other brokerage houses weren't effected by 1,000% volatility in GME? People who know how clearing houses work say capital requirements but Twitter and AOC say RobinHood conspired with hedge funds to slap the tendies out of your hands. https://www.barrons.com/articles/gamestop-stock-short-squeeze-robinhood-51611930375?mod=hp_LEAD_2

If you're buying stock on margin you're borrowing money. Buying on margin in the most volatile stock on the market could easily amount in substantial losses that individuals cannot cover. The stoppage in trading is because RobinHood has to have sufficient capital on hand or the clearinghouse won't process the trades. The amount of capital the clearing house will require the broker to hold is a direct function of the volatility as I understand it. This is hardly the first time that brokers have stopped out trading certain equities with crazy volatility and absurd trading activity.

Art Panera Bread's goal was a lucky bounce. That was a bull#### hit on Okposo. That hit should be reviewed and someone needs to go after him next time we play NYR. Linus stood on his head and made some incredible saves yesterday. I can't recall the last time we saw a Sabres goalie commit robbery like that. The Power Play continues to click. Skinner can't buy a goal. I saw a stat that Skinner, Montour, and Dahlin lead the league in shots without a goal. Dahlin flipped a guy. Showing some toughness. We stole a point even though after tying the game at 2 the Sabres sat back as if they were leading by 2 in the 3rd. Eichel's turnovers were the start of two goals against. Absolutely terrible giveaways by the captain. I thought Olofsson looked good with Staal. Not sure about moving Hall to second line and Olofsson up to first.

Looks like the skate comes up because Skinner tried to trip him.

In what way is it different and how does that change the scenario I described above?

The explanation I got on brokerages shutting down yesterday from a close friend who works in the industry and knows his stuff: The real reason RobinHood shut off yesterday is because they ran out of money. They have to post capital to the clearinghouse. The amount of capital they have to post is a function of volatility [insert Bloomberg screen shot showing GME's volatility which is off the charts like in the 1,000%]. When you over index to this type of garbage AND you offer cheap margin to customers, you get stopped out. That is completely backwards. The most a short seller can make is the amount of the Strike Price - $0, theoretically. Its actually even less upside because you need to buy back shares before delisting or bankruptcy. Their downside risk is unlimited as price per share is uncapped. Also, don't believe everything you read on twitter and check out the explanation I just posted for RH suspending certain trades. Remember RobinHood offers margin accounts and there are a ton of people playing a dangerous game with borrowed money.

Well that was an interesting ride. Looks like all these diamond handed warriors have cashed in their shares and are running for the exits. Will there be another rally and attempt at a squeeze around $150 or is this thing coming all the way back down to $40 before a long slow grind to $20?

So theorizing that this stock can still triple and hit 4 figures is a caution to the people on this board to stay away? Because that sounds like encouraging people to buy. This whole strategy is based on the amount of short interest. Bidding up the price is designed to force shorts to cover or get margin called thus forcing them to buy shares to cover their positions. If no one is selling then the shorts have to sweeten the deal further bidding up prices, forcing more margin calls, bidding up prices, forcing more margin calls, etc. Shying away from GME now because of the amount of short interest makes little sense. The huge short interest and plan to squeeze them out is where these wild figures like $5,000 are coming from. No one "investing" in GME right now is doing so because they believe in the fundamentals.
-
That is whats happening and that couldn't be farther from any principle besides pure greed. Post like OPs and thousands of others are designed only to convince other people to drive up the price high enough to make a better exit. The stock market is still a zero sum game. Short sellers and hedge funds are not the only ones who will be on the hook when the music stops. Every stock with significant short interest is now a target in this scheme.
-
What do you think is motivating the people who saw an opportunity to engineer a short squeeze by bidding up the price of GME to levels that are completely irrational? Altruism? Its all fun and games for now but a bunch of retail investors are going to get wiped out buying into GME and AMC. Like any pump and dump, your gains are predicated on selling to a greater fool. When GME starts plummeting there will be a race to the exits and you'll need people willing to scoop up shares. The people with big enough positions to actually move the needle in GME know when the music is going to stop, the rest of this army of HODLers are useful idiots to them.

Was that our easiest playoff loss to take?
Jauronimo replied to Success's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
This year was '88. 2019 was the Ronnie Harmon drop again and again and again: Brown can't tap his toes on the sidelines, Knox and Ford can't pick up a block, Bills give up 3rd and 18 to Taiwan Jones, then Milano and Neal can't wrap up Watson. We are moving in proper sequence this time around. -

Jauronimo replied to Success's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
This one was much easier to swallow than last year. Buffalo just blew it in 2019. They had every opportunity to win and didn't seize victory. They made so many mistakes. This compounded by the officiating and I was in a state of disgust and anger for days afterward. Sunday, we got completely outplayed on both sides of the ball. Just no answers. Offense was struggling to put points on the board and defense got no stops. There is nothing to look back on and ask what might have been. Maybe if our WRs aren't all hurt we lose by one score since we only forced one defensive stop. That game plan needs to be burned. -
I think you're in denial.

Bilechick heritage after this season
Jauronimo replied to Artem Lipatov's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
All hail Brady who "made it work" despite the best skill position talent in the game and a nasty run stuffing defense. His 3 INTs (should have been at least 4) were truly inspiring. -
That goal line stand against San Fran was pretty nice.
-
Because that is a terrible idea and the people who keep proposing that idea are just throwing @#$% against the wall to see if it sticks.

I am 99% sure that is not true. -

A few days ago you were all chummy with the Chefs fans. What changed? Is this because ChiefsPlanet declined your invite to come here and vote on which man is sexier? -
Thanks, everyone!
