If you buy shares, you can only lose whatever money you put in. (or it should be, if you buy with margins I've no idea)Quick question:
If I buy GME Shares, is there a change that I get in debt? Or worst case scenario I loose the money that I invested?
For example:
- Pay 1000€ for GME Shares
- I plummets down to horrible numbers
Do my Shares value 0€? Or will I wake up and see I have -700.000€ in debt lol?
I think you can't lose more than what you pay if that's what you are asking. Buy 1000€, worst case you lose that 1000€.Quick question:

if you buy a share (go long) your maximum exposure is the shareprice when you buy (1000€). this doesnt apply if you borrow money to buy (margin) then your exposure is whatever you have burrowed. The upside is infinite.Quick question:

you mean the hedge funds? nah fuck themThe amount of new and uninformed people wanting to invest in this is absolutely insane. I feel bad for whoever gets stuck buying at the top.
Funny how Ted Cruz wanted Dodd-Frank to be repealed a couple of years ago. And yes, RH should be hauled over the coals for this, with their IPO postponed at a bare minimum.This has to come out of the brokers cash which they didn't have because this is an absurd amount. Thus the dominos fell.
also Robinhood raised a billion dollars today to meet cash requirements.
Will everyone complaining about nefarious plans now admit that this all happened because regulations were put in place to try and prevent having to fully unwind trades as I've been saying.
I can't wait for the Senate hearings when the brokers have to come forward and explain that this happened because of the regulations that the senate put in place to protect the market.
No problem with Binck or Degiro.For our European holders, are you able to trade $GME, $AMC $BB etc on your platforms now? I think Transfer212 imposed restrictions as well, are they okay now?
If you have to ask this question, you definitely should not be involving yourself in this, financially.Quick question:

When the bubble burst out a lot of people are gonna loss a lot of money, not only whatever short seller is there if there's any really relevant there after yesterday.
They doubled down their short positions. And there aren't enough available shares being traded for them to possibly cover before EoD. Their call options are all going to expire today, no one is going to be itm when $GME is already at $469 pre-market.

407.08 as I just refreshed one page I was looking at.
Yeah, at $416 from what I can see. Expecting shenanigans to dip it before the markets open, but will probably rise again.
That is exactly what people said yesterday. No one really knows when this will go to the moon, or what 'going to the moon' looks like.so if I have never invested anything before and dont have any accounts with any online brokers, am I pretty much out of luck if I want to get in on todays trading? Cos that thing is going to the moon when the markets open today.
140% of the free float is shorted. dont fall for the disinformation of the hedgefunds. cnbc etc. are spreading lies.When the bubble burst out a lot of people are gonna loss a lot of money, not only whatever short seller is there if there's any really relevant there after yesterday.
we closed all positions (lies)Citron said they'd have some announcement at the market open. Sheesh.
i understand if that happens the broker has to jump in and after that the bankNot invested in any of this but I have a question, if a hedge fund that shorted a stock goes bankrupt, do the shareholders still get paid? If I understand correctly, this is two parties betting against one another, if Melvin goes under, do they still have to pay the retail investors? Or I misunderstood completely and my question is meaningless?
I reckon that the big HF's will still have access to the money required to buy the stock to pay back the shareholders.Not invested in any of this but I have a question, if a hedge fund that shorted a stock goes bankrupt, do the shareholders still get paid?

Typically true, but nothing about this situation conforms to normal logic.To everyone wanting to buy stock: the general rule is that if you are hearing about a stock, you've missed the wave. If you're not in the loop, people who do this for a living are already a few steps ahead of you. I'm not saying don't buy, I'm just saying that you should be prepared to lose everything you put in. It's not a safe bet because it's seen unprecedented growth in the recent past.
I wouldn't even know where to start if I wanted to buy shares, let alone an app that works in Australia. Someone mentioned Revolut and I grabbed that thinking it's a share market, and it quite possibly could be after being verified, but I'm actually really intrigued by its other features.
It works through my bank (BCEE/Spuerkeess in Luxembourg)Already spiked to $469 (nice) pre-market. I'm holding! The squeeze is on.

they can actually short the stock again and give it back to the shareholder that way. however that just prolongs the problem and the fees are astronomical.Hedgefunds literally have to pay stockholders when the clock runs out. Whatever the asking price is.

With questions like these, you shouldn't buy anything at all.Quick question:

not all but a significant portionThey doubled down their short positions. And there aren't enough available shares being traded for them to possibly cover before EoD. Their call options are all going to expire today, no one is going to be itm when $GME is already at $469 pre-market.

no he should inform himself and start with blue chip stocks (Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Google for example) and just hold em for one year and see if he can handle the ups and downs.
in what scenario does it go 50 when hedgefunds are obligated to buy?At this point, if you're buying in you're taking a spin of the roulette wheel. It could go up to $1000, it could drop to $50. There's a world where it does both today. Who knows where it settles. I think it's more likely to be low and leave a bunch of people holding the bag, but i'm a pessimist.
Only if you're down for some degenerate gambling, join the club. Buy low. (I am not a financial advisor, if I was I would tell you not to buy this stock)
I'm in Spain using eToro and I can place an order to buy "underlying assets" but in my end it shows a price of 197.46€ instead of the 469$ dollars you mention. If I buy now at which rate would I be buying? Sorry if this is common knowledge, I'm very new in all of this.Already spiked to $469 (nice) pre-market. I'm holding! The squeeze is on.

They blocked buying of all meme stocks on one major app-only broker in Germany yesterday, but reversed that today after thousands of account closes probably lol. My boomer bank allows everyhting. They probably don't even know what's going on.Already spiked to $469 (nice) pre-market. I'm holding! The squeeze is on.

They do what they did yesterday, but harder: Engineer a temporary dip in stock price to scare retail investors into selling at the lower price. Just because people mostly held on yesterday doesn't mean the hedge funds won't try again.no he should inform himself and start with blue chip stocks (Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Google for example) and just hold em for one year and see if he can handle the ups and downs.
