Insiders and the rich have been selling at record pace throughout the end of 2020 and 2021. So this certainly is not a circumstance where they're just moseying about and suddenly got hit by surprise. It's more like they want a catalyst that would justify either crashing or collapsing the market. My point is they know exactly what is going on with forums like WSB and 4chan, they have people they pay to operate on these venues. They can quite easily manipulate perception or encourage the masses to behave in certain ways. Suddenly they have justification not only to end the boom and start the bust, but also smear independent investors as hazardous and dangerous to everyone's well-being. This will result in further subjugation/control and give them an excuse to lock us out of wealth generating opportunities. I would LIKE to believe this is just the masses sticking it to the man but it feels like an incredibly nieve narrative. A little bit too picture perfect, when we're talking about people who built their entire careers on fooling and subjugating the masses. They literally have people who are paid to sit around and think about these scenarios, create contingency plans, keep themselves safe. But we're supposed to believe they never considered the possibility of being short squeezed when shorting 130% of the stock? Eh.... That's pretty much putting a neon sign outside of your building with giant arrows pointing to the door. It's traders jobs to look for these opportunities. I review short/long ratios and put/call ratios every single day.
