Just in case you are not paying attention - Gamestop is over $240 again.

I think you people are crazy. If I'm Houston I want more than Lawrence for him. Watson is a bona fide, proven top 5 NFL QB. Lawrence is a great college player who hasn't played a down in the NFL. Speculate all you want about his future, Watson is a sure thing though.

....so....did someone say that this wasn't over yet or what? Interesting last 2 days, expect more today!

Who knows, but if Top Gun on NES is any indication, its the most difficult thing on the planet to do.

Guess its time to pack one up and reminisce.

Just imagine you're his teammate, maybe special teams player or a defensive player, and you get a random text before the game. All it says is We Will Win, and its from the GOAT of all time. I know if that happens to me, I'm f'n pumped. I'm ready to prove everyone wrong. Having a guy like him goes beyond just what he is doing on the field. Could someone else have thrown 20 for 26 with 3TDs and 0 turnovers through 3 Quarters (can't believe people question his performance with these numbers)? Sure. Could 20 other QBs have their team as prepared and motivated with as much as he contributes to those areas? Get the f' out of here with that crap. The number is probably below 5.

These two are both killer 2000s albums. Rock/stoner rock style that most have no idea exist.

As par for my investment course beyond mutual funds...I had some bitcoin when it was at $3.5k a few years ago. Man, am I dumb sometimes.

I thought this thread was going to be about hard hitting, defenses allowed to defend receivers without getting flags, etc. If it were, I would have agreed with you 100%.

Sure the defense played stellar, but Brady and the offense played just as stellar. 31 points through the first 3 quarters before they went into game management mode. KC wasn't stopping them at all. They very well may have won a shootout too.

Just got 3 more. Now have a whopping 7 total.

I have a sneaking suspicion that this is not over yet.

What I'm saying is that CTE is the major contributor to suicides for former NFL players. CTE has been shown to lead to depressions, confusion, and other brain issues, right? I would like to see a study of suicide rates of former players without CTE damage compared to that of the general population. If it's higher (statistically significantly higher to show a correlation) then I can buy off on the "Oh it's so hard to adjust to normal life" talk track. I would venture to guess, yes guess as I have no idea, that it isn't and the issues of depression, suicide, psychosis, etc. are raised to a statistically significant amount only when CTE is involved as the catalyst. In no way am I an expert on the subject, but from my limited knowledge that is how I understand it. Please inform me otherwise if I'm wrong.

Hum...they won 5 games in 2019 when people thought they'd go 0-16. Last year they almost made the playoffs when most had them finishing last (or 3rd) in division pre-season. Unfortunately I think Flores knows what he is doing and has exceeded expectations each season. I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt here until he proves he doesn't deserve. This is the team we need to be worried about. Can't believe people are disregarding Tua so quickly after 1 season, one in which he probably wasn't 100% recovered from his hip injury. I kinda sorta remember JA not looking that great in a lot of his first seasons games. Yeah, I know, throwing strength yada yada yada, thats why he's compared to Brees a lot and he worked out OK.

He killed himself because of CTE, not because he couldn't adjust after the game but because his brain was so damaged that it was torturing his thoughts to the point he couldn't take it anymore.

In no way encouraged anyone to do anything. In fact, i specifically said I do not recommend getting involved. I'm just discussing the subject and offering my opinions on it same as everyone else.

I cannot lose because I look at it as a whole event. I already sold all my shares and bought back in with only $1k of the profits. I've already pocketed back my investments plus additional profits. So, I can't lose as I see it, only win less.

Except I already cashed out last week at $170 (when they fooled me with their shutting down of robinhood, discord, WSB for a few hours and associated price crash) when I bought in for $40 as I mentioned already in this thread. I just got back in with only $1k of the profits that I am holding. I, sir, cannot lose here at this point.

Hell no I am not sure. But I'm still holding. I'm wondering what the actual float numbers are to see if they changed significantly to alter the percentages or if there are ways to manipulate that data to show what they want. No doubt that if that is the actual number and all other things are the same, then it is not a good sign.

Also, all my Robinhood money settled yesterday and I started the transfer to my other accounts. I'll never again have that app on my phone. F* them and their BS.

To add that, the real mission is to have people buy and hold their stock until the shorts expire and they are required to buy shares that no one is selling causing the price to skyrocket, literally bankrupting the short sellers. They have continued to double down by shorting more and more. Eventually, the shorts won't be available either and, if people hold, they are F'd. Has nothing to do with Pump and Dump. Look at how few shares are actually trading. Retail investors are holding. Hedge funds are manipulating prices amongst themselves to try and drive it down 100 shares at a time. Im perfectly fine holding my shares for the rest of Gamestop's existence...or mine. But if it skyrockets into the 4 figures, we would have won and I'll get out then. Silver is a pump and dump, crypto currency talks are pump and dump, maybe even AMC and Blackberry, but not Gamestop IMO. Probably not. I'm comfortable losing 100% of what i put in. Still super high risk / high reward, but at under $200 right now it is tempting to throw a bit more at it.

No one on WSBs is on silver. False narrative to distract from the real mission at hand. Gamestop. Just more market manipulation through lies by the hedgies and their bought and paid for media stooges.

No, the back-up QB is not the most under-the-radar or enticing off-season story line. I could not care less who our backup QB is. If Josh goes down we are screwed, end of story. Do not waste valuable salary cap money on an expensive backup QB, especially when the Cap is projected to go down.

Because you aren't borrowing any money when you purchase a stock. You own it, you don't owe anything you have to pay back, thus limiting your risk significantly. I can see them being worried with an option that they wouldn't have the money to pay for them if the price crashed. I am not an option expert and if I am wrong please inform me as I like learning. Basically the opposite of shorting except instead of an unlimited ceiling of risk for shorters, there is a limit on floor risk since you can't go lower than $0. I think they are concerned with inability to cover the option losses if it crashes, no?

Restricting purchase of options is WAY different than restricting purchases of stock. I wouldn't have been upset if it was just the options, but it was flat out buying the stocks as well that was shut down which is complete and utter BS. If you are buying Robinhood's excuse that you mentioned and I saw their CEO give and don't think they were concerned with their eventual IPO and the backings of the Hedge funds around that and getting them mad, then I don't know what to tell you. To me, if I smell a rat, it's usually a F'n rat. They colluded with the Shorters to help them get out of it as much as possible. No doubt in my mind. And their business is toast after this clears because of it.
