Pension fund manager makes $300k Pension fund manager invests $200 million in hedge fund Hedge fund makes $4 million in management fees plus 20% of gross returns (not above benchmark) You can see the incentive for hedge fund manager to bribe pension fund manager ---

If the short sellers aren’t lying and are actually out then I’m not sure this can bust. The stock can’t stay at these levels for more than a shortish period of time and there, by definition, are going to be bagholders, I’m not sure when this is back at $25 that I’d call what happened a bust. Not sure what the end game is actually. For better or worse they just won’t be allowed to do this indefinitely. ---

Maybe. I would lean towards the billion dollar institutions and rich people learning their lessons and preventing anything like this from ever happening again. ---

This actually is one place there are regulations with teeth. Anything of value, including political donations, to anyone with decision power at a pension like that and the hedge fund is barred from taking fees for (I think) five years on that money and it actually is enforced. Obviously I’m sure still some rule breaking, but the can’t take fees part means firms actually don’t fuck around with this much. Traces back to corruption the New York system driving regulation iirc. Pension funds are desperate for returns and forced to chase in a zero rate world driving a lot of it, but that’s a fucking over for another day. ---

My biggest regret is that I got into AMC at $2.05 in my SEP-IRA and not my Roth. Could have had 8x tax free. ![image](https://unstuckpolitics.com/uploads/default/original/3X/4/2/42f8848cab1ab3dfde28e22156bc7fe02d5fcc63.jpeg) @goofyballer I got this to celebrate the big win. It’s very different than the pechuga, which I really grew to like after I got over it being filtered through a chicken breast. This one is filtered through Iberico ham, it’s kind of sweet and syrupy, but very heady. Not sure how I feel yet. ---

Same went for the college/high school kids in the mid-2000s getting rich on online poker when they could put 100% of their winnings back into their bankroll. Not just the $$ boost, but the lack of stress of having to pay rent. ---

I predict they’ll reorganize and pop a few more, but there will never be another GME. Once they get hit in the mouth trying to rally GME on the way down, they’ll be a lot more skittish about the next one. My mom joined a pyramid scheme in the 80s. I’ll never forget it because I got to play with 10 $100 bills and it was the most money I could even imagine ever seeing. It ended badly of course. But the guy who got her into it was nice enough to give her $500 back. Or just look at tulipmania. This is the exact same thing but with internet-level organization and short squeezes. ---
