Loop Capital's collateral pump, HKD, is up 23% (21BN) on 2,576 shares traded (out of 150M shares outstanding). $1.2M of shares traded gave them 21BN in collateral value. Tell me you need fraudulently derived collateral this week without telling me...

Correct fine sir. Shorting is okay, just be very careful because like you said you can lose and lose and lose again . Shorting off valuation is a terrible idea . Look at HKD for example . You thought it was an easy short . Next week over $2500 off the con game

I think loan underwriters and hedge insurers are running out of money, so these pump and dumps are staying and playing *only* in fake "stock market algo" (criminal) values because nobody is buying at *any* price; instead we're all just watching algorithms execute pump n dumps (under direction of mayo-men, trying to crawl from under the contracts they signed for naked shorting, via their "algos." (Which sounds beyond-suspiciously close to ego.)) There's nobody holding bags on these scams, so there's nobody's pockets to raid. My guess is they're trying to liquidate to gain cash reserves, but because nobody is playing with the fake values, so they're forced to buy back their own offered stock, and they're not raising the capital they need. If more events like HKD occur, then the scam is working. If Wall Street continues to bleed, then the scam is failing while hedge funds bleed the markets in a bear-market free-fall as the everything bubble crashes down, except for the superstonk. I'm just a smoothbrain, though. But this is my smoothbrain TA-opinion.

here’s some needed education: Monkeypox spreads through damaged skin contact. But since the penis head, the vagina and the rectum (if ur into it) have no skin it’s free pass for viruses. Imagine you get monkeypox and everyone including your parents think you had unprotected butt sex when all you did was rub against someone in a crowded elevator. Messed up. The actual disease is also quite the unpleasant nightmare, while you have it.

But doesn't Paramount still own the copyright to Betty Boop? ------ Edit: https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Betty_Boop#/Lawsuits_and_current_ownership > A trademark on the name (but not legitimately the likeness) of Betty Boop is owned by Fleischer Studios, for which the character was created in the 1930s, but which was unable to claim copyright infringement in a 2008 district court case; So basically, Fleischer Studios owns the name but they were unable to even claim infringement in court because of how all of this was chopped up. The name belongs to one party, the rights to the character belong to another, and the comic strip rights belong to a 3rd party. I can't find any information on the xlabel nft site, so either they licensed the name and/or character from these owners, or they are just looking at the precedent of Fleischer Studios not able to protect their own IP and figure it's technically public domain because of that haha. ----- Edit 2: Looks like this site https://www.xlabel.io/ does say they've worked with Fleischer Studios among others.

🤔 I’ve never thought of this but that’s quite the idea. Allow you to access their NFT marketplace from their GME app so when you profit off an NFT and have crypto, you can just buy a new PS5 in the same app with it. I don’t hate this idea.

I’ll tackle the NFT Marketplace and corporate layoffs estimates. First, I’ve taken a keen interest in the NFT Marketplace and post a daily update here. Even with a lot of changes coming down the road, the marketplace is on pace to generate only $5 million revenue annually at this time. In the last few weeks, that average is below $2 million revenue. It is also possible to estimate how the marketplace will ramp up in the coming year or two. The entire NFT market is worth around $3 billion in 2022. That estimate was before the recent downswing in crypto/NFTs. Let’s assume that instead of dropping, the NFT market holds steady for 2023. So that’s $6 billion total over the two years. Let’s also generously assume that GME can capture 20% of that market ($6B x 0.2 = $1.2B). GME charges a 2.25% fee to generate their marketplace revenue. So that’s $1.2B x 0.0225 = $27M. And that’s over the course of two years so an average annual revenue of $13.5M. Now imagine that the GME marketplace was somehow able to capture 100% of the NFT market instead of only 20% - that means their annual revenue is $67.5 million. So will GME make money on this endeavor? I don’t know. They will have to massively pump up the entire NFT market volume while being a new player on the block. Sure, offering video games, TV shows, and movies as NFTs may help. And they have already overtaken CoinBase in NFTs. But this is simply a numbers game when looking at fee-based revenue. We also must factor in how this all is revenue, not profit. My rough estimate of the cost to run the marketplace is $3,800/day or $1.4 million/year. That’s ten developers at $65k salary plus bonuses as well as AWS. It’s rough and could be off by as much as a factor of two depending on the team size and salaries. Second, I’ll look at the corporate layoffs. Let’s run the math on that item. We hired 600 new corporate-level employees in 2021 and the first half of 2022. It has been claimed that most of the layoffs were from this group. Now I don’t know just how many corporate employees are at GME. There are about 12,000 full timers but it’s unspecified the corporate breakdown of that figure. Let’s say that half of the new corporate hires were let go and their average salary was on the high side ($150,000). Diana Jajeh was promoted to replace the outgoing CFO, and she will make $200,000 as a salary comparison. Anyway, we will also assume thirty percent on top of salaries to represent other perks like healthcare and bonuses. So that’s 300x$150,000x1.3 = $58.5 million off the expenses all in one fell swoop. Even taking into account all of the above, we still need more. Cutting expenses with the corporate layoffs and a small (at this juncture) profit with the NFT Marketplace are not enough. Last quarter, GME lost $157 million. All the above means that there’s still $100 million left to go if things were to hold course. And that’s on a quarterly (not annual) basis.

The website's FAQ's show a collaboration between XLABEL (xlabel.io) and Fleischer Studios. And the terms call out 3rd party IP rights. So were probably good, unless they are just words.

I have a spreadsheet I have kept over the same period. And just added a few columns to confirm your numbers. Interesting way to look at it. I had always been looking at something similar that I called my volatility index which is the (High-Low)/High. Seems to be cycles where thing will be calm for a few months in the 3-6% daily swings range and then we will have a few blow up weeks in the 10-20+% daily swings range. The highest was 1/28/21 at 76.8% range with few more days around then in the 50+% range. Back on 5/12/22 we got up to 28% and that is the highest it has been since 3/25/21 at 37.7%. Yesterday 8/8/22 was 15.1% which is the highest it has been since back at the beginning of June.

741 = July 41st = August 10th = TOMORROW 3/18/22 (RC buy) + 133 = 7/29 (friday, 8/1 was monday) represents the start of the window of expected extreme activity. 4/4/22 (swap trigger) + 133 = 8/15 this represents the day of the first sneeze. This window, August 1st through August 15th should match the activity from January 12th through 26th, 2021 if my swap theory is correct. The Popcorn FUD and random BBBY weekend pop is all the proof I need.

I think this is a pretty common issue. However a lot of grads have this weird over inflated value of their work. I spend like 12 hours a week rewriting grad reports or analysis. Most are really grateful and learn quickly. However, you get the odd one that thinks they are gods gift to the company when really most of their work gets redone. Without knowing how you are performing it's impossible to give you advice. You might just need to fix your attitude and realise that you have a lot to learn. Don't wish your "grad" time away. It's one of the brief periods in your career where you are given a lot of leeway to make mistakes and learn.

Grad programs are increasingly predatory imo and instead of facing that, it's entitled grads that are the issue? ​ There was an article iirc just the other week about Deloitte's grad program being famously underpaid and overworked to a substantial degree. But it's grad's overvaluing themselves? I'm not sure if you've done a grad program but as someone who yesterday completed theirs and have talked to my peers, the process goes like this. ​ First year low expectations and responsibilities, learning opportunities from paid courses, seminars and sometimes rotations to other teams etc. Nice room to grow. Near the end of that year, that all stops. You are now treated like a junior or even just a regular level of your position but at 30% or less pay than what you could get a years experience instantly. So now you sit around for 12 months or more at a giant pay discrepancy, with expectations and responsibilities substantially higher than your enumeration and very few to no learning opportunities. Mass quitting ensues.

We won’t even have to do that! In laboratory work and later large-scale experiments at Colorado Springs in 1899, Tesla developed his own ideas on how a worldwide wireless system would work. He theorized from these experiments that if he injected electric current into the Earth at just the right frequency he could harness what he believed was the planet's own electrical charge and cause it to resonate at a frequency that would be amplified in "standing waves" that could be tapped anywhere on the planet to run devices or, through modulation, carry a signal.[5] His system was based more on 19th century ideas of electrical conduction and telegraphy instead of the newer theories of air-borne electromagnetic waves, with an electrical charge being conducted through the ground and being returned through the air.[6] Tesla's design used a concept of a charged conductive upper layer in the atmosphere,[6] a theory dating back to an 1872 idea for a proposed wireless power system by Mahlon Loomis.[7] Tesla not only believed that he could use this layer as his return path in his electrical conduction system, but that the power flowing through it would make it glow, providing night time lighting for cities and shipping lanes.[7] In a February 1901 Collier's Weekly article titled "Talking With Planets" Tesla described his "system of energy transmission and of telegraphy without the use of wires" as: (using) the Earth itself as the medium for conducting the currents, thus dispensing with wires and all other artificial conductors ... a machine which, to explain its operation in plain language, resembled a pump in its action, drawing electricity from the Earth and driving it back into the same at an enormous rate, thus creating ripples or disturbances which, spreading through the Earth as through a wire, could be detected at great distances by carefully attuned receiving circuits. In this manner I was able to transmit to a distance, not only feeble effects for the purposes of signaling, but considerable amounts of energy, and later discoveries I made convinced me that I shall ultimately succeed in conveying power without wires, for industrial purposes, with high economy, and to any distance, however great.[8] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wardenclyffe_Tower A lot of truth has been removed from the public as in the case of GME regarding Nicolai Tesla and free energy! Let’s bring it all out after MOASS!

I think the markets rallied largely because jerome powell was a bit too dovish in his press conference. His scripted remarks were hawkish, but his unscripted answers to questions were not > “We’re at the neutral rate guys!!” A claim which larry summers called [“analytically indefensible”](https://youtu.be/P6reu7qppUw). Mohamed el-erian also grilled jpow for this one. How can 2.5% possibly be the neutral rate with the CPI at 9.1%?? > “If we started tightening earlier, it wouldn’t done anything! Other central banks were tightening in mid-2021, and they still have inflation” Yeah, because other central banks don’t control the world’s reserve currency. When they tighten, it doesn’t have much effect. The US federal reserve is basically the world’s central bank, so it’s tightening from the US fed that really does the trick In his unscripted remarks, jpow sounded a lot like arthur burns. Gave the impression that he’d back off if the stock market went down. Hence the rally
