M1 Money Stock (DISCONTINUED

EXACTLY. Not sure how this, gme skyrocketing again, along with the federal reserve financial system crash are correlated, but fuckery seems obvious at this point. Inb4 retail traders get blamed for the crash

Random question, anybody have access to m1 money stock for the past week?

Don't try looking for M2, the fed just stopped reporting it. There was a treasury Auction yesterday for 7 year notes, and NO foreign buyers. It looks like the fed (debt buyer of last resort) will be buying more USG debt, and it would show up in M2.

Get ready, our currency is being destroyed. Those stimilis checks are your blue pill to serfdom.

looks like the commoners best cash in real quick
premarket price of gamestop has lost over half its value in the last 2 days

And this is the reason smooth brains/ limp wrists need not apply... absolutely thrilled tho if completely honest, thanks to the limp wrists I was able to 3x my positions. Thanks useful idiots, my account appreciates your losses

edit: I would also like to give a huge shout out to all of the bootlickers who swallowed the la rona hoax hook line and sinker. EVERY dollar spent/made came from the suckers needing a stimulus check. I appreciate you fools too

another amazing article shitting on retail investors. Interesting how a $10.5mm position is such a huge talking point. Meanwhile HF managers lose $10Billion over a weekend of other people’s retirement but that’s AOK?

Not that you need me telling you, but this is obvious FUD to gin up support that it was all the evil retail traders, not the benevolent hedge funds. It's all about controlling the narrative for future support for regulations or legislation that hurts us and benefits them.

On wed, gme took a dip (can argue the cause of the ‘dip’, but that’s another convo). In less than 20 mins, CNBC had an article written, edited and approved to be shown on website and used in segments.... almost like the fear porn was written ahead of time...

Hedge funds are just insurance policies against the collapse in value of assets held. I accept that some misuse them, but people misuse everything in life looking for an advantage.
those who use them as they should are laughing at the dumb money flooding into hype. They first make a killing on their investment, then take their profits and move them over to top up their hedge holdings. When the dumb money moves out they make a killing on the hedge
Its not that whales are losing money, its that they are manipulating small investors into giving them amplified profits on two fronts. Double bubble.

With all due respect you have absolutely no idea what is going on. To summarize for you... hedge funds massively shorted a stock. People outside of the ‘elite’ wall street caught the hedge funds with their dick, along with YOUR retirement funds, in the cookie jar. Hedge funds needed billions in floats to prevent the collapse of Melvin. Melvin combined with citron had to call MSM parrots and RH to shed blame to the retail investor. IF ‘whales’ weren’t losing money, care to explain the billions of injections to stay afloat? But yeah you watched CNBC today and got all their talking points in. A for effort

Lol, I don't know what CNBC is, I'm not a yank. I am however a British accountant, or at least I used to be. I know more than you realise about how financial instruments, hype, and illusion works. Do you know about how Porsche almost bought their parent company vw a few years back lol. This is the same game being played by bitcoin investors right now, and that will be played with Tesla later in the year. If you think you're in the loop, you're the one being played. No one is in the loop, its warfare, you either understand the art of war, or you're a victim of it. If someone tells you they will make you money, maybe they will, but it will be a fraction of what they make.

Oh and before you weight in, yes I know you're not talking about bitcoin right now, but you'll see the parallels.

You have never and will never catch me shilling Bitcoin or any ‘crypto currency’. But IF you were in finance as you claim, you would know the economy along with the Chinese navy are nothing more than a paper tiger. ‘Finance’ is a fucking joke top to bottom. Some of us, myself included don’t really give a fuck about a few shekels, we just want to see it burn down. ACCELERATION FTW. Yes, I’m not in the loop and I have admitted that from the get go. But difference to between myself and Melvin (in the loop) is I have gains while Melvin took billions in losses? Not really sure being ‘in the loop’ is a badge of honor anymore

Of course I know that. There's an international war to devalue the currency more than the next guy going on though. The next big guy that is. Imports are being priced out of the commoners reach to support domestic suppliers in order to bring the balance of payments down. Once that's been achieved, you'll see the economy return to a manufacturing base instead of a service base. But always sitting on top of a bank debt system though.
we rely on a pantomime to maintain our way of life. New money is created by the interest on new debt in most cases, printing new cash is a tiny fraction of it. People saving cash makes a nation poorer, only by going further into debt can you stimulate recovery. Its a joke, and most lives are the but of that joke. I get it, I watch it happening, I used to watch the flow of money from the poor to the rich all day everyday, and I know that stopping it breaks the system. I also know its not sustainable. What can you do though? I just try to point out a few upcoming car crashes to people that I see driving too fast to survive.

Since Nov before the wuflu hit, America has juiced the sconomy by about $9T, maybe 40+% of GDP. People are screaming for their stimilis checks, AOC is crying for free rent, back rent forgiveness. student loans are being forgiven and the taxes on that free money are being forgiven. And still the economy is tanking. Hyper-inflation and a failed currency is a bitch. America is very close.

and if it doesn't go down in say the next 4 years?
then Biden has done the miracle and deserves recognition for such
not saying I have illusions or love for him
but results are what count, if you're honest you have to consider this point without bias
the stakes are too high

what can you do though? Lol add fuel... glad you can at least admit a debt based economy is unsustainable! Yes money flows upwards. A fucked up economy should be expected for a fucked up society tho. As long as society as a whole focuses on being the firSt to own the newest ‘X’ because celebrity ‘Y’ has it over education and values, the cycle remains the same.

Failing currency is good for america, so long as it doesn't fail altogether, coupled with quantitive easing ( printing money from thin air), it generates strong inflation. Inflation with flat incomes controls what people spend and increases borrowing. This is the principle of monetary policy, it increases the cost of importing goods, and reduces the price of american made overseas.
i don't support it, I'm a Keynesian myself. But I see that after the poorest have starved, those left get a brighter future.

Mr.GMT, as a Keynesian, that is the modern version where guv spends freely to jack up the economy, you should be in hawg heaven.

Me, I want something useful that people want. Having gone through the soil adventure, I have a plan. Make compost and raise worms. Turns out I may be in a good place to do that.

Oh, I’m just a simp with no financial industry background out day trading my wife’s boyfriend’s stimuli checks. As a matter of fact, I only really know 3 things in life... how to catch a fish, how to twist some wires together and make some ‘tricity happen, and adding the gubbament into any equation concerning money is a bad thing... very bad thing. That being said, I like the stock
