Here is my DD:
They have the larger (combined) force, $$, they have better weapons (technology, psy-ops, paid minnions, media FUD). But what they don't have is ❤.
Great underdog victories in History:
216bc- The Carthaginian army (45,000) defeat the Romans (86,000) Cont. (1/7)
1565ad- the Knights Hospitaller (8000) defeat Ottoman soldiers (30,000)
202?ad- an army of "Dumb Money" individual retail investors (APES) realized that companies they loved were maliciously being attacked by a bunch of "Bad Actors" on Wall Street. These APES decided enough was enough! (3/7)
They had no leader, no fancy computer algos, no paid shills, or fake media stories. What they did have was an ever increasing legion of people who were tired of giving their blood, sweat, and tears to earn a $ only to have it taken from them be these "bad actors". (4/7)
These APES found each other from across the globe and shared their hopes, dreams, thoughts, ideas, love and compassion. Each APE did there own DD and made their own decisions but supported each other however they could. (5/7)
Some APES brought laughter, some brought tears some, some helped fire everyone up, and some helped everyone relax. Some APES helped breakdown regulations, some provided technical analysis, and some shared business experience. Every APE brought value in their own way. (6/7)
While the end of this story is yet to be told, there is one thing for sure. These APES will change the game forever. These APES are "NOT FKN LEAVING". As for this APE, well "I just like the Stock" and I ❤ you all. #AMC#GME#DOGE (7/7)
Ok all my #AMCAPES out there. I want to give my thoughts on what I have been seeing with our current price action. This will be in multiple parts so please follow in the comments. I have a dual major in business and psychology and many years experience in the business world. Cont
(1/8) There are many Battle hardened apes out there who understand the mind games but there are also at least a million new apes out there. I have seen these tactics employed on very intelligent people because $$$ causes lots of emotions.
Like Sun Tzu said "Know your enemy"
(2/8) My time with many large-scale business dealings one of the biggest lessons learned: Fear of loss is the single most driving force in human decision-making. Research states: A loss stings twice as much as an equivalent gain, i.e., losing $5 actually feels like losing $10+
After reading @Joshuajammes
Tweet I started looking into this and it really makes me think if they (citadel) got busted for this in 2020 what makes us think that they didn't just change up their tactics. They got busted because it was for large (institutional) orders.
But if they, who admittedly handle a majority of retail transactions, were to shift to doing this to retail orders that they handle by the millions it could be harder for us to spot and call out.
Now I have NO PROOF of any wrong doing and am not making any accusations but...
You have to be kidding me. I refuse to believe the #AMC shareholders decided to all sell after hours at the same time after we were told there were 4.1m shareholders
And #GME selling after they beat earnings by $.38?????
I mean really almost identical price action, but it is not coordinated #MarketManipulation
