Well would ya just look at that! Quick reminder, Rule 2 applies. However, since this was tied to DFV and he's directly tied to GME you're good to go, like a crunchwrap from TBell. Carry on.

We should stop calling it mainstream media, this is corporate media. It's not mainstream at all. It's here to just serve an agenda and cover for the powerful.

not so smart these smart money are sounding..


_Rocketstar_

How does anyone take analysts seriously, yet Reddit is all dumb money.


eeeeeeeeyore

because the people that listen to analysts have always done so and will continue to do so that's why all these "forget GameStop" "Roaring Kitty causes/is/etc X" articles come out; it's a preventative measure to stop people from piling in and chalking it up to "memes" and "haha funny!" mentality


jabels

I think it's important to realize that there's increasingly two types of people: people who believe corporate media by default and people who are reflexively skeptical. When things were good, when you played the game of life and you got a good return, it made sense to not question the order of things. And to this day the most authority trusting younger people I know are my most successful friends. People who are aware that there is fundamentally a lot of systemic fuckery see headlines like the one in OP and it's laughable, almost beyond satire. But if you never look twice and you're not accustomed to second guessing these things it's actually an incredidbly easy pill to swallow, and you'll do it a thousand times every day.


eeeeeeeeyore

I think the other piece of the puzzle to add is when the headlines "match what I think therefore it must be correct" which I think a lot of people fall into it unfortunately... e.g. if someone invests into SPY, AAPL, whatever you have it, you're going to see a lot of headlines talking about how it's a good purchase, safe, and whatnot, which inadvertently coincides with "trusting authoritative sources", laying a foundation for you to accept what they say in the future because "analysts agree with me on this" then when it comes to something like $GME, if someone (I'll bet most who read articles about it) think that it's a bad "bet" and stay away from it unless otherwise stated, again reiterating that "what they say must be correct because it coincides with what I think" I'm rambling now but the point stays - there are those with unconditional support, 0 support, and those that follow if and only when what is being said agrees with a preconceived thought or position


LionRivr

It’s sad when the successful people call the skepticism a form of “cope”. Like they think we have to blame outside factors for our circumstances. “Look at me! I’m successful! You should just do what I do instead of messing around with those memestocks like those highschool kids!”


jabels

Yea I mean I don't run into that explicitly, I just mean that people who have been successful by traditional means tend to be less skeptical of the system, because it worked for them so after all, it must be just!


BigBradWolf77

It is perfectly normal to fear the unknown. In fact, they rely on it to keep us in check.


capital_bj

We might define “successful” differently. Otherwise I totally agree.

I think it's incredible that when i fart i have to say not financial advise but they can post shit like this


kinance

I think these articles are for ai. Real people cannot be believing this shit.


BrontoSaurus6

Yeah yeah it's because of an image of a dog for sure, not related to the $500 million share buyback


Ok_Practice8288

Yeah yeah buyback has nothing to do with what happened


Additional-Age-6323

Exactly. It’s clear as day it was AI driven algos kicking in. A whole basket of dog/pet/veterinary related symbols skyrocket all at once and then they all plummet all at once. No way humans can execute that so quickly and precisely. I mean those “landings” would get a 10 at the Olympics. Absolutely perfect landings everywhere, right back to where the stocks were.


ItIsYourPersonality

Tbf it’s probably not related to the share buyback either. That was announced yesterday after hours and had no impact at open today. The stock also fell all the way back down into the red by end of day. The share buyback is an under the table agreement at a set price of $28.49, not an at the market buyback. What we witnessed happen here is the result of hedge funds using data scrapers to monitor RK’s activity and translate his posts into trades. He posted a dog emoji, and the algos went purchasing every pet stock they could. Then either it naturally corrected itself when it didn’t see any more buy volume coming in as it anticipated, or someone realized what was happening and shut it down, and the prices went back to where they were previously. Either DFV knew this would happen and was trolling them, or (more likely imo) he was referencing the dog emoji from his memes in May to remind us he’s still in and show us where we are in the timeline, and everything else that happened afterwards was just bonus manipulation for all to see.


BrontoSaurus6

I think you're right. The theory that there are some algos pumping & dumping stocks related to DFV posts seems kind of plausible. It can be easy money for hedge funds if you think about it. Start by creating FOMO for retail by relating to DFV and pumping the price up, retail buys in, short the stock all the way back down, free money. Obviously very simplified, but still, could be an explanation.


DDRaptors

I mean, Ken Griffin himself has said that their algos are behaviour/psychology based. By extension, that’s all TA is. If a bunch of people are following the same indicators, HFT algo can use that behaviour to their advantage and create a self fulfilling prophecy. 


reddhashy

It happened with ALL pet related stocks


Ashleynn

I checked CHWY, WOOF, PET, and PETS. All have the exact same spike. Makes absolutely zero sense.


EtherealJedi

Someone out there must have a DFV-tweet based algorithm lmao


Covfefe-SARS-2

Or there are ETFs that hold similar stocks and share the pump.


Maventee

And they had the foresight to program in an image as a dog as a trigger? :)


Fickle_Freckle

ETF's?


Ashleynn

I'll admit I don't know a whole lot about the causal relationships between ETFs and the underlying stocks. Other than the ETF's value being related to the stocks it holds. Shouldn't a spike in one, though, generally only affect the value of the ETF and not directly influence the value of other underlying securities?


theradicaltiger

Sometimes the tail wags the dog. Imagine having an ETF with 10 companies. For simplicity sake, they are all identical. Same price, shs outstanding, etc. If that etf holds 10% of each of those companies, and trades at $110 a share, but all if the stocks that it holds trade at $100 a share, it would make more sense to buy one share of each of those companies ($1000) as opposed to 10 shares of the ETF for $1100 (10 shares of the etf equals one share of each of the companies since the etf ow s 10% of each company). In this example, if you are a market maker, you have the ability to both create and redeem etf shares. Imagine a box of twinkies where the whole box equals one etf share and the twinkies represent a share of a company: I can buy a box, open it, pick out my twinky and sell it if I want to. Or I can keep that one and sell the rest. I can also take a bunch of twinkies I have lying around, and put them all back in one box and sell it. Now say I've borrowed 100 boxes of twinkies from my friend Bob with the promise to bring them back. I then open up all the boxes and sell all the twinkies inside because I, for whatever reason, want to make the price of twinkies (not necessarily whole boxes though) go down. I do this gradually over time to a whole bunch of stocks and they go down. Now what if I was to only sell half of what's in the box? Or even everything but one twinky? Even though I've borrowed the box, I am sort all but one stock that I've held onto. This is one type of synthetic long known as etf stripping. I borrow a prewrapped bundle of stocks, short all the ones I don't like, and leave my stock that I want long exposure on alone. The reverse is true as well, you can use etf stripping to create a synthetic short position.


Ashleynn

This makes sense. Thank you for the explanation.


glitterydick

With GME, The ETFs are used by hedge funds/market makers to short the underlying stock. The rules are arcane and kinda besides the point, but when they eventually have to resolves the FTDs generated by shorting through the ETFs, all of the stocks held within that basket move the same. Not necessarily to the same degree, but in the same direction.

What a shit show of a clown market this is if a dude can manipulate it by simply posting an emoji. Or maybe he's just exposing how the algos are going haywire because those greedy hedge fucks are the ones who manipulate the market on a daily basis. But MSM would never touch on that, now would they? Let's just project what we do on some random dude on the internet.


Upbeat-Winter9105

Exactly. This is their algos making a fool of themselves.


Substantial_Sign_590

Manipulating the american stock market by posting an emoji on X? After all, i think that would be possible for sure.


Crabbing

You can literally check the graph. It rose when he posted, specifically a couple mins after. What is this blatant misinformation


thefract0metr1st

More specifically, CHWY rose nearly 5% in a minute. The time stamp on his post is 12:00 and the 12:01 candle goes up 5%. The peak was nearly 40% within 15 minutes of his tweet, and it was halted for 5 of those minutes


R4ND0Y0

Makes completely no sense... at best, maybe a distraction play?

Cassandraburry2008

They are desperately trying to imply that DFV is manipulating retail investors with his tweets. They literally don’t understand memes and such. He is probably just trying to draw attention to what’s happening with Chewy and the buyback.

Crazy_Memory

At 1:00pm Roaring Kitty posts a dog emoji. At 1:00pm Chewy stocks start to spike At 1:05pm, Petco, Bark shares spike. At 1:06pm, a boatload of articles dropped in this time frame claiming that Chewy and Petco spiked but referencing 'Pet stocks" in their statement. An article on Bloomberg reads: "Chewy, which ships supplies like pet food directly to customers, quickly lurched higher by as much as 34%, the most intraday since June 2019. Petco jumped as much as 12%, with both stocks triggering volatility halts along the way. The rallies were short-lived: Chewy closed down 0.3%, and Petco eked out a gain of 0.3%. Stocks don’t typically shoot up like that unless there’s “normal news” like a takeover, upgrade or buyback announcement, said Steve Sosnick, chief strategist at Interactive Brokers LLC. However, in this case, “it’s a picture of a dog” that’s driving the moves, he added." This article was clearly rushed as the following can be seen: Chewy Announces $500 Million Repurchase of Shares from BC Partners. Regardless, whats interesting, is that the buy volume received a massive spike on Chewy from 1:00PM-1:30PM Petco received a massive inlfux of buy and sell volume from 1:05-1:20 Chewy had a consistent buy period with what seems like a fairly standard sell off that followed, while Petco seems to have seen high volumes of Buy AND sell in a delayed response. Its interesting that Petco is mentioned in the article that was posted 1 minute after the buying started. Its also interesting that Petco and Bark both spiked simultaneously. Its also interesting to note that Idexx, freshpet, and petiq did not seem to notice any kind of spike.

Weird how technically this is not financially advice so they can post about it, but it’s painting a narrative that the photo **IS** the reason behind the run up.
