So let’s say I never have invested in a stock, and am completely green.
if I wanted to throw around $500 today (is that a laughable number?) can anyone give me a super-simple guide to do such and who to go with? Like, let’s say I don’t even know how to buy shares or whatever.

? I sold a call at 6.50. I’m only on the hook for the 100 shares selling for 650 instead of the actual price of 2000 or whatever it ends up being. Also I sold all my Bitcoin at 11,000 I’m out like $4000 this year.

Absolutely, complete with carefully placed loopholes that only the big players will be able to take advantage of.

You have negative equity i'm seeing there. Maybe i'm wrong and you're balance is positive. Just letting you know be careful you don't get called for a margin call.

I have no idea what is involved with buying/selling "calls." Such a foreign concept to me.
I feel like every time I get my head wrapped around one investing concept, I discover 10 more that make zero sense, or use confusing language.

What are they going to do? Make it illegal for people to discuss buying stocks together unless they are some giant legal entity?

Because the wrong people are making the money.

That’s the difference between my contract to sell 100 shares at 6.50 and the actual price of the stock 100 x 16.50. I hope, now you got me freaked out.

GameStop’s Short Squeeze Has Consequences. These Popular Stocks Are Falling.
Efforts to close out short positions have lifted the videogame retailer’s market capitalization to more than $23 billion from less than $300 million six months ago.

I’m not really a populist, but it’s amazing how this whole thing proves that the rules only apply for the little guy.
Hedge funds involve themselves in all sorts of shenanigans in the interest of making a buck. If they ruin companies along the way, nobody cares.
Now that a hoard of “normal people” are giving it to hedge funds, who made a risky play to begin with, all the talking heads in the media are yelling and screaming about rules and regulation.
I bet we see regulation against retail investors and potentially limiting or straight up banning of speech on places like Reddit regarding stock trades over this incident.

If they did that, it will just go to the dark web. It would be against the 1st Amendment anyway.

WallStreetBets is getting hammered. There are a million more people, err... Degenerates than when I first visited it yesterday.

I'd probably get in on this madness for the lulz, but I literally just funded my first trading account and the money isn't settled yet. I can buy but can't sell. And I don't have any market money in my Vanguard account. I was going to buy some iRobot yesterday unironically, but surprise-surprise, it had been meme'd too.

I wouldn’t go anywhere near GameStop if you can’t sell.

Cant take it. I'm out NOK at $7.50. Made 50% in one day thanks to Cranky teasing me with the WSB tip.
Cranky, I'll send you a PM soon.

I'm not, I'll probably buy some of those other stocks that are now on sale as a result of the hedge funds selling them off. But I'll probably wait on those too. It's earnings season, and people who bought in early on high expectations will sell off today / tomorrow, so prices will keep going down.

Ya. These GME and AMCs will fizzle out at some point but as long as the reddit community keeps it going rotating stocks and were all in the know, this can go on for a while.
My bro just told me KOSS is up big. It is. Crazy.
He gave me some penny stock tips. SNDL and NAKD.

Yea I’ve decided to keep a close eye on wsb. Bastards
Also never play with the misery of others again. I think the real fucked up think is to speculate which ones are going down and get money from it....

I'd donate $50,000 too if that was 0.001% of my portfolio!
