The worst part is that those market people are delusional enough to believe what they say.


sort by: page size:

It kinda breaks my mind that the market has been so warped by BS like this.

Technically people are selling financial products they don't understand.

This obsession with stock prices and trying to trade on this kind of stuff puts such a spotlight on how humans suck so bad.

Those people are the fools. And perhaps they even know it. They're just hoping for even greater fools that will buy from them at even higher value.

These people are becoming just as bad as Q-believers. Everything has a hidden meaning if you just peel back the covers a little bit. Everyone is working against the retail investor. etc etc.

Do these guys realize the stupidity of their own comments and still do it to con the public/investors OR do they really genuinely believe in this bullshittery ?

Because if they tell the truth and crash the market the outcomes are even worse for people

Market manipulation isn’t brilliant, it’s gross.

They also published false information about the stocks in order to justify why their followers should buy it.

They make claims that are demonstrably...stupid. I don't know if there's a better, more nuanced word to use here. It's trolling in broad daylight from what I can tell.

Watch the video and see for yourself: http://citronresearch.com/citron-exposes-the-dark-side-of-sh...

That video by itself tanked the stock for many many weeks, until they finally reported quarterly results and it started climbing again.

I'm glad the CEO didn't feed the trolls by acknowledging this report in any depth.

Also shows how irrational the stock market is in the short term.


I think it's mostly a signal to the market that they've heard the ridicule.

WeWork, Valient and many others should dispel any notion of market sanity. There’s an insane amount of hype to the point of it being difficulty sometimes to discern who the bullshitter is (especially since everyone, including the “successful” gamblers, is bullshitting to some degree since there’s a lot of negotiation).

The people still holding AMC are even more deluded given that AMC has already bought back stock multiple times, making plenty of money on the suckers still hanging on.

Agreed. Typical financial market herd psychology BS.

I wonder if these people are just psychopaths remarkably good at showing the right signs, or if there's just a huge supply of moronic investors.

Seriously those guys claim they are holding companies accountable and the market efficient. They are just sleazy stock traders. Grinds my gears people try and defend them through efficient capital markets when you see the garbage reports they put out there to manipulate the market for their positions.

Those traders are wrong because.... there are a bunch of self-centered idiots who can't take responsibility for themselves?

This has to be one of the more obnoxious things people have generated hype over. So much fake outrage over the 'rich' (some bullshit generic enemy) to rally people to buy stocks with hope they can get rich quick (because they heard some success story of the few). Looking forward to this one fizzling out.

Yep, and this is a particularly silly article. One group of investors caught another group making a spectacularly poor decision. It just happens that the first group are retail traders (I'm not sure I would call them "investors").
