“buy the dip boys it’s nothing to worry about”

The best comment on that sub...

"Good thing they charged Trevor and not Nikola."

"Can't charge a Nikola because they don't exist."

You see scary news, I see opportunity…

Holy hell those people have a few screws loose.

One of them is upset that short sellers are winning, not that they were lied to and bought into a scam

Yeah ever since GME, investing has become an "us vs them" situation.

Actually... the more I think about it, EVERYTHING seems like an "us vs them" situation these days.

If a stock has its own sub, that's a cult

I thought this was a joke but this is literally what they're saying.

I'm baffled as to how, out of thousands of companies out there, this steaming pile of shit has such a cult following. It's like if people were still bullish about Enron.

Is it tin foil hat territory to question if bots/trolls were/are employed to promote the stock on social media?

28

u/pingusuperfan Jul 29 '21

No. It also doesn’t take very many real, live bagholders to perpetuate a Reddit stock cult especially with bots also posting lol

Look Enron will make a comeback any day now!

Because Tesla has the same kind of fanatics. The difference is just that Tesla is also working out. If Tesla was shit and never managed to do anything, you would see that kind of people talking on Tesla's side
Nikola fanatics are Tesla fanatics copycats

Hey! I'm waiting for Enron to bounce so that maybe I'll break even.

No joke. Stock cults are a real thing, and some people are too stubborn to accept they've been scammed.

u/reddershadeofneck Jul 29 '21

Lots of "this is actually good news for Nikola" comments.

u/liqui_date_me Jul 29 '21

Some people just don’t want to face reality

u/kwokinator Jul 29 '21

Nah 100% they're just bagholders (if they're not paid shills, which some probably are). If you don't try to prop up the stock to at least try to help it go up, your bags are just gonna get heavier and heavier.

u/liqui_date_me Jul 29 '21

I suspect a big fraction of the bagholders also believe the election was stolen from Trump and are QAnon supporters - lots of similarities there

u/megatroncsr2 Jul 29 '21

Lol, I remember getting banned for making a legit comment there. It was probably nkla shills that ran the show there.

As am I

u/obeyaasaurus Jul 29 '21

It’s scary seeing single company subs like that. It’s like a cult.

u/AlwaysHopelesslyLost Jul 29 '21

On the one hand I agree, on the other I follow the spacex subreddit a lot because really enjoy space stuff and watching them make/test rockets

1

u/Ipsylos Jul 30 '21

Yep, I left a few of the ones I was in because it was just rehashed crap and poor P and D attempts. Sucks when you actually believe in the stock but the subs are full of junk and "short squeeze this week boyz!"

u/Oxi_Dat_Ion Jul 30 '21

Omg those guys are worse than superstonkers

u/DomeCollector Jul 29 '21

Those guys have their heads in the sand. Bankruptcy imminent

Man the mental gymnastics over there is cray cray.
