This doesn't even make sense. The hedgies have already had their asses handed to them twice this year. One prominent hedgefund had to be bailed out by others to avoid going bankrupt. Nothing happens overnight, the AMC shorts still have to cover eventually. [Reply]

It's all part of their manipulation, I mean retail investors still own the float. The buy to sell ratio has been 2-1. If people hold then we're good if they start selling then it will change things but right now nobody is selling really. [Reply]
Bailed out of virtually all my stocks Friday. Things have been feeling strange lately between inflation, the weird housing market, and Covid still not being over. Feeling okay about it today. [Reply]

I think you may have misunderstood. What this person was almost certainly referring to is the fact that the Fed targets core inflation (actually core PCE which is a bit different from core CPI primarily due to the way it treats at housing costs and medical expenses) and that those core measures exclude food and energy. The rationale is that they’re volatile and subject to supply/demand factors that the Fed can’t easily control and that short term disruptions usually revert.
Classic (error) case is the ECB who targets headline inflation (HICP) and they hiked into the housing crisis in 2008 because energy was spiking. This was not a welcome decision. [Reply]

I must've missed the post where you warned the rest of us. You know, warned us so that we wouldn't get wiped out while you were climbing into your warm lifeboat. [Reply]
