*DD FOR DUMMIES: What's beta? Beta is a measure of risk commonly used to compare the volatility of stocks, mutual funds, or ETFs to that of the overall market. The S&P 500 Index is the base for calculating beta with a value of 1.0.
Securities with betas below 1 have historically been less volatile than the market. While securities with betas above 1, have historically been more volatile than the market. The beta is calculated using data over a 5-year period.
GameStop Corp. Class A Report has a negative beta of -6.8, according to Infront. Roughly speaking, the negative coefficient means that the stock often moves opposite the general market trend. See below the comparison of GameStop's beta with its main segment peers. Image
AMC's negative beta is -4.2. The table below shows that this is a feature of AMC specifically, probably due to its popularity and the unique forces (you know what I'm talking about) that move the share price, this is not something that is shared across the entertainment sector. Image
It is reasonable to expect that, in a market correction caused by macroeconomic factors, investors would seek alternative forms of investment. In the case of AMC and GME, price action has been largely determined by supply and demand dynamics, not so much by business fundamentals
Then, why not park some money in these two stocks when the market and the economy weaken? Investing in AMC and GME stocks might be one way to ride “positive ape sentiment” and sidestep a fundamentals-driven market pullback. Not financial advice, of course. $AMC $GME #APEstrong

WHAT IS PAYMENT FOR ORDER FLOW?
Payment for order flow is essentially the practice of a PFOF broker routing orders through a series of market-making firms, instead of directly to a stock exchange.
The broker gets paid by these firms for redirecting trades to a particular market maker for completion. These companies pay a small amount to participating brokers and complete the order.
1/11
The market makers gain from this flow of trades in two ways. First, as market makers, they are typically able to sell at the (higher) ask and buy at the (lower) bid.

**DD FOR DUMMIES** Morning, STONKERS! If you’re a bag HODLER, and have no idea why you’re in the red, this tweet is for you!! I want to talk about Cost Basis Per Share or “Average Price”.
Your Cost Basis Per Share or Average Price Per Share (depending on your brokerage) is just that. The average price that you bought your shares at. If the price goes up, from there, then obviously you’re gaining money in your investment, and if it goes down, then the VALUE of
your investment is going down. You still own your shares, so the VALUE of your shares goes up, and it goes down on a daily basis.

A good way to ensure that you get ROI or “Return on Investment” sooner is to do something called “Averaging Down”. So say I buy 2 shares of $STNK

Ok lets talk AMC and the big morning drop yesterday. A few interesting notes on this. In my opinion there was a coordinated short attack and it was intentionally covered up. Let me explain how I reach that conclusion. @cvpayne @SEC_News @SEC_Enforcement #AMC $AMC 1/10
1)At 10:02 est. A tweet goes out from some obscure company called Iceberg Research, of whom no one ever heard of claiming they had a short position in AMC. Now how obscure is Iceberg? Well they hardly even made a dent on Twitter. 2/10
2)After that tweet if you all look at the chart below, you are going to see this massive selloff begin at almost the same time this tweet came out. 3/10
