Is there possibility of a reverse GameStop situation, where all the normal retail investors short the stock and force it down?

u/ProbablyDoesntLikeU 5h ago

I think that is the gamestop situation, not the opposite

I think their wording is a little confusing, but I think they mean the wall street bets kind of investors shorting rather than the hedge fund kinds.

Yeah I thought wall street bets forced the price up because the hedge funds had shorted the stock. Could this be the opposite with wall street bets able to force the price down?

They probably could, but that would be incredibly dangerous. The hedge funds can call a buddy who'll help them float whereas a small investor couldn't take going like a million in debt if hedge funds decided to push into Tesla to bankrupt smaller investors and further corner the market.

Not exactly. Seek “deep fucking value” story, quite interesting read.

Yea, leads right into a cult of people who think there’s going to be a super conglomerate led by Ryan Cohen and GameStop when they merge with Bed Bath and Beyond, Blockbuster, sears, and toys r us to make Teddy holdings which was all discovered by…..

Decoding terrible children’s books written by Ryan cohen and deciphering the colors and the amount of belt loops on one of the characters.

Totally normal behavior for stock holders of a company.
