> then the wsb crowd needs to set a time and hold the line until they can all sell at once.
This could be exactly why they are shutting down + restarting trading repeatedly throughout the day.
((( Wall Street ))) literally lines everyone up at the starting gate to sell as the trading begins, and then shuts it back down. This is a throttling event and could even prioritize certain levels of traders only. Add to this that AmeriTrade has completely locked out it's users from transactions.
The trading websites/markets are also rigged, so I don't know how this will actually play out.
The hedge fund contract needs to buy whatever number of shares they to in order to satisfy the contract. I don't know the penalty for what happens if the markets are actually shut down.
Supposing more than 100% of the trading shares are being shorted, after first 'buying' every share, I then have no idea how one would 'buy' from themselves. Essentially though, the fund would have to cover the total market share -or more- of the company for the contracts.
At this point, I am thinking there is a substitute for buying all the shares, maybe a direct payment type thing.
Although it would be hilarious to think of that hedge fund actually owning every share of gamestop and becoming the new owner. LOL
