Message: [QUOTE="ClifSpliffy, post: 3824876, member: 9260"] the [I]only[/I] definition for the alchemy known as 'economics,' ie '[I]supply, demand, fear, greed.'[/I] a short squeeze, ie folks needing (demand) stock to fill a trading position, and they all show up at the store at the same to buy, creating a supply shortfall, therefore price rise. think toilet paper insanity of last spring. toss in an educated guess on the fear and greed component for the future price of the thing ('gotta get the tp now, cuz next week it'll be triple the price....[I]i think') [/I]and there u have it. underneath this specific event, methinks many traders thought that the bricks and mortar component of gamestop would eventually crush the stock, hence the shortsellers. i don't know that answer, and i don't care. signed 'not a video game playa,' which, by the way, is kinda how large parts of the market today look to me. '[I]Yo pretty ladies around the world Got a weird thing to show you, So tell all the boys and girls. Tell your brother, your sister And your mama too, cause they're About to go down And you'll know just what to do[/I]' word up. [MEDIA=youtube]-M7vOnlcLbo[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
