https://www.cnbc.com/2021/01/28/gamestop-republicans-warn-of-trump-style-populist-revolution.html There are scores of similarities between former President Donald Trump’s “Make America Great Again” movement and the GameStop surge. There is a sense of fighting back against disrespect of the elites, b...

People are dumb, they don't understand complicated things. They think complicated stuff is just the man screwing them. They are getting convinced that these stock bubbles is some sort of david / goliath thing. And you have choads like Barstool Sports guy telling them this story, and of course all th...

I also have no problem screwing the short sellers. I do think it's problematic how this train is seeming to focus on trying to get more people in on the charade though.

No, I'm against irresponsibly giving people the idea that : a. they are entitled to this imaginary money b. This is a healthy and sustainable idea to manipulate the market like this Michael, my beef is not with you. I've followed this thread enough to know that speculating on the market is one of y...

yeah, troy

I could also see Reddit having to pull the plug on the forum. If it provided a forum for investors to manipulate the market, I don't see how that is any different from a handful of large investment funds coordinating market activity.

It's defininitely market manipulation, but I have no idea how anyone could apply the current rules to this sort of clan of retail investors. But if I were one of those folks making a big bet early, I'd be expecting some investigators to come knocking

I would take the money at get out of that position.

This gamestop thing is weird.

Is it some internet campaign to try and counter the short sellers or something? Seems like this wont end well.

How convenient.

Also interesting how all the people commenting on this have no clue what being an “informer” is. He is not ratting out other proud boys.

For me to be condescending I'd have to be smart first.

It's condescending to think everyone else is there with you.

Because it's "dumb" that a minority of the body can use it to prevent anything they don't like from passing. I don't think we really need to recite the history of the filibuster in the 20th century to block the government from passing civil rights legislations. But, we can glorify our heroes like Ri...

If you're a democrat and "against" the filibuster, you should be "cancelled" or just criticized for exercising poor judgement. The filibuster is idiotic.

Also sounds like the players are very much against a delay. they see any shortening of the season as a way to cut pay.

(sorta serious) Elijah Green, OF, TNXL Academy (HS) Green is about as good as they come amongst draft prospects. Quite literally the prime example of a perfectly optimized p...

Another short season likely.

I think there’s an equity bubble

Did no one watch Uncut Gems?

IMO anyone ignoring the Superb Owl because of Brown/Bell is shortsighted. Bell is a nonfactor. Did anyone during the broadcast even mention him? Brown is a bad hombre, but is he bad enough an hombre to keep people from watching a Brady/Mahomes matchup? It is the biggest stage for sports in America,...

https://blogs.fangraphs.com/scouting-the-prospects-acquired-for-jameson-taillon/ Fangraphs likes the return, Yankees have a deep system, none of these guys were throw ins. I was thinking about it this morning, the timing of these 3 trades is a bit confusing. For these three trades to have been made ...

Not that this really has any bearing on anything, but if you're a WS or bust kind of fan, this is probably the time for a team to just tank for picks. I don't think any team is getting through the NL until this Dodgers' core is broken up, https://blogs.fangraphs.com/2021-zips-projections-los-angeles...

I feel bad for the marketing folks running the twitter account this season

They basically have Hayes. Cruz is the only high profile prospect that could conceivably get promoted to the majors this season, so they wont even have those "future" guys to sell MLB tickets.

Not that it really matters. But, what's our rotation this year? Lol

Keller-Kuhl-Brault... Brubaker? And? Idk

Cody Ponce or that dude they got from the Nationals?
