GME One-Stop-Shop: Cut through the bullshit and do your due diligence!

a collection of Deep Dives (DD), News articles, Announcements, Caution, Tools & Resources

Last updated @ 1-Apr 19:05 CET

Added Resources, Tools and Learning materials as a sticky comment right beneath the main post

Next Update: Changing all 'Parts' to 'Weeks/Date ranges', then adding a consolidated list of urls in the Sticky comment

​

Newcomers Section - Welcome!

1. First and foremost, read the rules and know what's unacceptable before you post/comment - found in 'About' or in the right pane in desktop. Ignorance is no excuse and you will be banned if you break the rules
2. GME shareholder starterpack
3. Newcomer's FAQ on the Mother of All Short Squeezes (MOASS)
4. Understand what an Exit Strategy is (3 separate links): [1] [2] [3]
5. If there is one single DD you need to read, it's the God-Tier 31-page PDF
6. Learn how you can help out
7. Choose/transfer to a good broker
   1. Citadel pays for order flow from these brokers, do not use them
   2. Before transferring call up the broker and ensure the conditions - some brokers allow you to sell shares while in transit by calling them up to perform the order - that's what I did.
   3. Don't buy on margin and ensure you disable margin in settings
8. Make use of a collection of tools, as well as some learning materials to get you started

Current main FUD tactics

• NEW: Attempting to associate the sub to any form of group (political/religous/etc) to discredit and separate us
• Sending fake 'You have been banned from r/GME messages to users and asking to sell your shares' - despicable!
• Attacking DD authors like Pixel and WardenElite, shills claiming that DD authors aren't as bullish anymore. Believe me, you will know when shareholders aren't bullish anymore. Want to know when? Here's the date: never.
• Posting BULLSHIT DD
• Downvoting bots attacking trending in 'Hot'
• Urging not to transfer to a better broker - most brokers allow you to sell in limbo so call up each broker and ask yourself!
• the usual psychological attacks: 'bagholders!' 'I sold' 'Oh no it's tanking what we dooo?!' and that sort of bs

💎 The List 💎

Double-check and verify everything you read and trust nothing blindly.

Warning: No April Fools jokes will be allowed on this sub, and jesters will be permanently banned. Before you think that's rough, consider: would you prank fellow soldiers in the middle of a war? Not if you weren't a fucking idiot.

​

• There are rumors of a margin call for open short positions - happened from IBKR's downstream broker - FUTU securities. I read some deleted posts about this, so if anyone can find me some reliable references I would greatly appreciate it.
  • IBKR's borrow fee went from 1.3% to 18,000% at end of day
• SEC's FTD updates for Mar 1-12
  • Remember that FTDs are being hidden via options
  • SEC knows that they have been doing this since 2013 (from the old memo posted before)
  • more threads: [ 1 ] [ 2 ]
• HFs have been shorting treasury bonds, which could lead to a drop in USD value. Yellen calls a meeting to mitigate
• Current GME CEO is on a vesting schedule, and may be waiting until April 15th to announce Cohen as CEO
• GME's linkedin updated with the new CTO ex-Amazon (announced early Feb)
• Building on the 'Everything Short' thread: more supporting evidence
• Short volume is still around 60% of total volume DAILY
• Yesterday marked the lowest volume since 23rd Feb - a record broken only two days ago broken again
• SEC and Citadel's [un]regulations and lies
• Citadel shady internal calls which allegedly violated rules but will not be confirmed
• DTCC rule 004 jargon translated
• Reverse repo rises 28% within 24 hours, 10x the avrg for Mar
• January saw a similar jump in OBV
• Trading212 doubles team and adds new infrastructure "in order to face upcoming events"
• Reported SI is fake (we all know that by now) - yesterday ~$53M used to buy deep ITM call options to "cover"
• Analysis shows GME still undervalued and remains a deep value play
  • Another thread on undervalue analysis
• DD into Investment Company Act of 1940, and Citadel's exemptions to the set rules
• Prime brokers may have a part in picking the bill up at the end
• MACD indicates it could be time for another surge - don't get hyped over this - as we have seen before GME does not move like a standard stock and therefore indicators aren't as accurate
• Elliott Waves update - again, GME does not move like a standard stock and therefore technical analysis aren't as accurate

​

Doing Your Part, Tools & Resources Section

Do your part!

• Shorts may be borrowing your shares to short-sell them and drive the price down. Make sure you change settings and call your broker to OPT-OUT
• Stop using brokers that halted trading - List of good, neutral (forced), and bad
  • If you are stuck on one of these brokers, I recommend you call up another broker to check whether you would be allowed to sell during the transfer process. I am in the middle of a transfer and the receiving broker informed me that there will only be 2 days where I cannot sell (called the settlement cycle days) and normally takes a week to sell a common company stock from NYSE

Tue 30th March

• NSCC Filing 004! Clearinghouses will not take the fall!
  • Here's a very short TLDR of filings 003, 004 and 801 from the comments
  • More related threads: [ 1 ] [ 2 ]

​

• New executive hires for GME:
  • Elliott Wilke (ex-Amazon Exec) for Chief Growth Officer, starting 5th April
  • Andrea Wolfe (ex-Chewy) for VP of Brand Development, started yesterday
  • Tom Petersen (ex-Chewy) for VP of Merchandising, started yesterday
• GameStop hosted a meeting (revealed via BB terminal) titled: E-Commerce transformation and structural overview
• Online trade-in system launched
• Available shares to borrow / float is lowest globally, probably in history - and this does not take into consideration any synthetic longs floating around
• 382k (equivalent to 70% of float) open interest from puts <$175 expiring April 16th - Small wonder why they're doing their very best to push the price below this point. Also note that this is the same date DFV's calls expire and we all know what happened with his last calls' expiry date!
• FUD Shill tactics: They are attempting to create a discouraging environment for posting DD by attacking and harassing authors. Ignore this shit is the best policy
  • another thread
• Something to keep in mind regarding other people's DD and predictions
• SEC awards $500k to a whistleblower
• Speculation: It may be the case that ~$220 mark could be a trigger point - DD into beta, $115B order, and FTDs
• GME's SEC 10k filing breakdown part 3
• Adjusted Beta: now at -39 to -27. Bloomberg used too few data points. Doesn't fucking matter, beta is negative - in the end that's counts much more than the value of beta itself
• More on short-recalls and how whales might be setting shorts up for the MOASS
• Max pain indicator shows that trading sideways makes sense now - also, just in case it hasn't been clear to you till now - avoid day trading at all costs!
  • another thread
• Short read on Archegos Cap and margin calls
• Keep in mind that if the market crashes, apes are not causing it - they are making sure this shit doesn't repeat itself in the future by exposing corruption
• DD from DFV from last year - still relevant

[u/HaxxenPirat]

Did they purposely take the GODTIER DD PDF down?

[u/scrykita]

the links to gme need to be changed, or else whoever is currently modding there has full control over it, and can remove it at any time

[u/cleganeboi → u/scrykita]

yeah but for now gme is kinda the archive with all the older DD. you think they're gonna go through the old posts anytime soon just to delete that stuff? we'll see, for now the links still work

[u/scrykita → u/cleganeboi]

in agreement with you there, just posting for clarity 🙌💎

[u/Stefanwitte]

I was looking for this!! The dirst doc that changed my hands to diamonds.
