Финансовые разговоры в соцсетях

[ny_quant]

Популярная обзорная заметка на животрепещущую тему. Сегодня даже на Блумберге сразу несколько статей на темы так или иначе связанные с ширнармассовой торговлей вообще и этим геймстопом (которые сегодня опять почти удвоился) в частности.

One of those millions of subreddits is a beautiful and amazing cesspool of intellect and degenerate financial market gambling called r/wallstreetbets. The main screen says: “r/wallstreetbets: Like 4chan found a Bloomberg terminal”. Members of the community are called “degenerates”. The r/wallstreetbets subreddit currently has 1,888,019 members.

Не знаю как занятые люди находят время читать реддит вообще и данный конкретный subreddit с его почти 2 млн. членов в частности. Охотно верю, что там есть много чего умного и интересного, но я не представляю себе каким образом можно за разумное время отделить зерна от плевел.

С одной стороны:

Melvin Capital closed out its short position in GameStop on Tuesday afternoon after taking a huge loss, manager of the fund Gabe Plotkin told CNBC’s Andrew Ross Sorkin.

The brick-and-mortar videogame retailer, hedge funds’ most-hated stock, was targeted by an army of retail investors who marshaled against short sellers in online chat rooms. In the Reddit forum “wallstreetbets” with more than two million subscribers, rookie investors encouraged each other to pile into GameStop’s equity and call options, creating massive short squeezes in the name.

CNBC could not confirm the amount of losses the firm took on the short position.
Plotkin told Sorkin that the speculation that the firm would file for bankruptcy is false.

Amid GameStop’s explosive rally, short sellers have accumulated losses of more than $5 billion year to date in the stock, including a loss of $917 million on Monday and $1.6 billion on Friday, according to data from S3 Partners.

Short seller Andrew Left of Citron Research said Wednesday that he has covered the majority of his short position in GameStop at a loss. He previously said GameStop will fall back to $20 a share “fast” and called out attacks from the “angry mob” that owns the stock.

Social Capital’s Chamath Palihapitiya jumped into the controversial name, saying in a Tuesday tweet that he bought GameStop call options betting the stock will go higher. His tweet seemed to intensify the rally in the previous session. The stock ended the day 92% higher at $147.98.

Elon Musk after the bell Tuesday commented on the mania on Twitter and linked to the “wallstreetbets” Reddit chat room. The Tesla CEO tweeted to his 42 million followers “Gamestonk!!” The comment appeared to help send GameStop shares soaring in extended trading Tuesday.

С другой стороны:

Судя по премаркету на данный момент они уже сделали больше 1000%.

К ним приходят студенты с благодарностью и скриншотами квитанций о закрытии студенческих ссуд.
К ним приходят делегации с коленопреклонными просьбами рассмотреть сток Х, Y или Z.
