I bought a tiny bit of BB and NOK following five minutes of Reddit due diligence. Was going to have a punt on AMC but my Nokia phone didn't like it. Neither did I really as that company really does look like trash.

I bought it through the NYSE.

I have to say, I think these reddit kids are magnificent bastards. 

 

To paraphrase the French Marshall at the charge of the light brigade:

 

"It is magnificent, but it is not investing. It is madness."

Number of hedge funds in serious trouble. 

 

Black swan and BK all at once? Would be hilarious. 

 

🙏🙏🙏

Yeah my hedge fund is in trouble. If I go down it is probably global doom. Might even lead to nuclear war. You'd best bung me a few billion to tide me over to next month. The Cayman Islands account will do.

The US one is the one I got, this is quality japes. I finally get to be down with the cool kids. 

I still believe a lot of retail will get trashed on the return trip

[CVG]

Can any of you cool kids start something on Anglo-American for me?

Nokia is going vertical. I'm 33% up in 2 hours. Should have gone all in.

I think they'll spread too thin soon. Obviously attracting hangers on like me for now. Attacking too many stocks will reduce impact.

Will be very funny if Congress goes into bat for hedge funds with some bizarre law.

Anyone short of anything should be closing out unless they really know what they're doing.

Will it be net neutral for the wider market if hedge funds sell their longs to close their shorts? All good fun.

I'll stretch to a lager.

Don't forget to watch the live stream of the FOMC Q&A later today (7:30pm UK) where Mr Powell tries to say with a straight face that there are no bubbles...

The US Nokia is now showing up 80% but looks suspended for trading

WHAT DID I SAY???  This shizzle only getting started baby, is that the noise of rotor blades I can hear approaching?

I created an HL watchlist and it seems the NOK in $ is doing better in % increase than the NOK1V in €

[Hardhat]

This is all pretty funny and also makes me incredibly nervous, especially as the oilies and PMs are currently taking a hammering.

If this triggers the BK it will be a hilarious moment of hubris for the USA and capitalism in general...

[Heart's Ease]

Been trying to pick a couple of things up. No joy. Took me right back to March 2020. The exits and entrances are very narrow.

Bouncing around at 80% up on my screen.

 

Oops, I had it set to a week. Over 50% today.

80% or 80pts? On IG it's +80pts & +20%

[leonardratso]

10 year yield heading back towards 1%, all is not well...

On NOK I had a weekly percentage. T212 has fallen over again so I can't see it live without stopping work even more than I have. It was 50% for the day at the time.

Yahoo finance has it up 45% currently down a lot from the highs. Bouncing manically by the second.

On IG I think Nok was closed so stuck at 20%, after posting, on HL I could see your +80% on the day.

Made a bit by buying on a dip, didn't have the balls to hold on. 

TBH I can see the instis just banning these things from sale; it can be easily spun like it's for your own protection.
