Message: [QUOTE="JohnFSilver, post: 3827600, member: 1618"] I don’t think it is manipulation. They saw an opportunity for a short squeeze and recommended people join it. Then it took on a life of its own. I think it is fair play here. What the hell are hedge funds shorting shares of GameStop with more shares than are outstanding ? Also. There was no intent to deceive in what they were doing. You can’t stop fee speech. They didn’t manipulate the market, they moved sentiment out of spite abd then when there was blood in the water the sharks got eaten by the minnows. there has to be moral hazard for shorting. This is a rough lesson, but them the breaks for hedge funds. They got their pockets, literally and legally, picked . [/QUOTE]
