After reading this article I sold about 2 percent of my Tesla holdings today. Fortunately, that's about 25 percent of my total cost for my holdings. Bwahahaha.

Are they just letting the gov/hedge funds be the only ones allowed to buy it back?
I didn't know u could only sell a stock if there was no one to buy it :-)
People buy and sell stocks through many brokers other than Robinhood. [Reply]

You say that as if weed hasn't been getting legalized left and right through multiple administrations. As far as I can tell, pot is one of the few issues that isn't terribly politicized. [Reply]
Great podcast on what's really going on with all this. Strassa was a big time poker pro, then moved into stonks.
Key Takeaways:
1) WSB hit the jackpot with GME shot squeeze. But with other stuff like NOK and AMC, WSB is losing because big hedge funds have been waiting forever to convert/sell.
2) Options are stupidly priced right now due to retail investors like WSB having no price sensitivity. [Reply]

I don't know for sure about stocks, but in the futures, options are strictly a function of volatility.
Let's be real here, those WSB jackasses are fucking PSYCHOS. I'm going to guess the total volume of those jackasses is fairly low. Now, in their meme stocks, there is more volume, but on the whole, volatility is moving option prices, not WSB jackasses. [Reply]

Strasser is saying it's not just volatility but how much people are willing to pay, and the WSB guys aren't being price-sensitive at all. So even with volatility factored in, options prices are ridiculous right now.
I have no idea if that's true or not. But I think the guy has been pretty successful in the market and was really good at poker. [Reply]
