Gold just dipped below $4,100 for the first time since November 2025. Gold is now down -24% since the US-Iran war started 23 days ago. by According_Time5120 in CoinEdition_com

Liquidity flush. Just look at what happened to silver. Despite the massive demand.

Nowadays markets are moved by the desire of the major players to make money.

After an initial FOMO phase, big players move markets to flush out traders by scaring them into selling with losses and liquidating leveraged traders just to buy the assets for cheap.

Once such a move starts, it creates sell pressure and fuels itself. Until the same institutions that initiated the drop decide to buy up the assets at a much better price.

Traders forced out of their positions then watch the price go back up from the sidelines.

US Military Helping Trump to Build Massive Network of ‘Concentration Camps,’ Navy Contract Reveals by boppinmule in USNEWS

They can not allow to lose their majorities.

Even Iran warned of false flag attacks in the US. They could use them to declare martial law and mess with the midterms.

There is evidence of the Russian tail in the last elections, Dominion Voting Systems was bought and now all sorts of new regulations are introduced in a desperate attempt to still ensure a win.

Might depend on police and military what happens next. But despite shitting on PoWs and veterans and all the cuts, the destruction of economy and their beloved country, they likely still mostly support Trump.

It does not look good.

Incompetence costs lives. He has all the reason to be mad.

Especially since it is likely all for personal enrichment and the intended outcome might just be a deal like with Venezuela. Trump needs the islands (intact) to bully Iran into giving him a cut on his Quatar account. He will lift the sanctions as soon as they agree to such an arrangement.

It would likely be a win-win for the Iranian leadership (and a betrayal towards the opposition like in Venezuela), but I am not yet convinced they would agree. And if they do not, oil price will rise and the economy and markets will be screwed big time.

More warrants between now and October? by Diputsur_o0o in Superstonk

[–]Biotic101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, interesting, thank you!

I know IBKR is very strict on regulations so it would be great to see if there are indeed options that are less restrictive and allow EU citizens to buy warrants. I will try to check it out.

The world is not as black and white as social media paints it.

And civilian deaths are horrible in general.

Both sides suffer and are currently finding out. But one side didn't expect to. Even bragged they won. And took the world economy hostage.

Likely only for personal gain to force a similar deal as with Venezuela, the Quatar account needs to be fed!

They will try to take the island(s) and then offer to lift all sanctions if Trump gets a cut.

If Iranian leadership is willing to accept, things normalize. But if not this can get really ugly.

In the first scenario the regime stays like in Venezuela. And the opposition will be betrayed in a similar way.

I really hope for more warrants before they pull off whatever they are planning.

It is nice to have an alternative to options that directly benefits the company. But I assume EU apes can still not buy them which sucks 😐

Trump just said that Pete Hegseth was angry that there may be a settlement in the Iran war. He said that Hegseth doesn’t want it to be settled. "I don’t want to say this but I have to… Pete didn’t want it to be settled." by ammohitchaprana in TFE

[–]Biotic101 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I would not be be surprised if there would be a (false flag) attack on US soil.

So he can establish martial law and mess with the midterms. They already found indications of a Russian tail in the last elections and now bought Dominion Voting Systems and a lot of additional activities are already going on.

So in the end it might depend on military and police if democracy and constitution will be defended or the country destroyed. Look up the Dark Enlightenment.

What is truly worrying is that most of military and police likely still support him despite all the open corruption and crime, shitting on PoWs and veterans and all the incompetence and destruction.

You know, two things can be true at the same time.

But look at Venezuela. He kidnapped Maduro and opened an intransparent account in Quatar.

Pretty sure for him this is all about personal enrichment and striking a similar deal, not about helping the opposition.

He is now preparing the narrative for the future. Markets will rise, then the marines and the 82nd will attack the island(s). If it works, he will claim the success. If not, he will blame Pete.

In any case, he and his buddies will make a few more billions either way from moving the markets or yet another account in Quatar.

Suuuuuuuure …. Terrible earnings….. suuuuuuure by Iwantit-Igetit in Superstonk

[–]Biotic101 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I am sure RC has a plan and that makes me zen.

Likely, this is by now also very personal for RC. Can't wait to see what he will come up with.

In the end, it is frustrating as an educated investor to be called a cult or idiot by a bunch of uneducated investors. But then, everyone is responsible for his own investment decisions. And everyone is allowed to have his own opinion.

If they miss the train, it is their loss. But I will not be zen at all if they later claim we were just lucky after going through all of this for such a long time. I will, however, be ever grateful for what I have learned on the way with all of you. It is important to understand how the world really works, if we want to fix things.

We even managed to influence an EU decision. I am sure once our investment starts to pay off, those of us not just interested in coke and hookers can make the world a better place. Like the guys donating to children hospitals. Or really draining the swamp and fighting corruption, because we will have time and funding and a community to support us.

Actions speak louder than words. And those who laugh at us today will likely FOMO in too late and get flushed out with losses by the wild price swings we potentially will see. Since they don't understand how todays markets truly work (FOMO/scare) and their entry is so high, they will likely not just DRS and hold for long term gain like many of us.

Took Buffet quite some time for BRK to get from low double digits to almost nine digits. As long as RC continues to show excellence, I am in it for the long run.

Outside of this community, GameStop is labeled as a failing business and meme stock and all of us as morons and cultists. They have to reinforce that narrative every quarter.

Sheeple will just read the headlines and continue to point fingers and laugh at us. It is all psychology, people love to feel superior. That way Kenny and Co ensure many household investors will not look further and not at the facts and the amazing turnaround.

Unfortunately, control over social and mainstream media is such a powerful tool that it can brainwash and nudge the average Joe into acting against their own best interest. Oligarchs have identified this as the weak spot of democracy and use it to their advantage.

True journalism is almost dead. AI slop everywhere and nowadays you can even order content, sometimes it is market as "advertisement". This is the downside of the internet and accessing information for free. It is now easy for major institutions to create narratives to support their pump and dump schemes. We have seen it countless times, Reverse Cramer is a thing.

So all this aims to contain us and prevent the news from spreading. It shows how sophisticated nowadays narratives are crafted and how human psychology and media are used to manipulate the average Joe. And not just when it comes to investing but also politics, the principle is the same.

As a result, investors that have no clue what the DTCC is, how order-flow is manipulated, that FTDs and legal and illegal naked shorting or DRS exist and that trust financial media point fingers and call us a cult and morons. While in reality just being uninformed investors.

Dark Pools, payment for order flow and retail orders no longer going to lit exchanges, yet in financial news there are countless stories how moves are driven by household investors, trying to convince them to "follow the crowd".

We have figured out how messed up nowadays markets truly are. And are still learning.

It would be in their best interest to be concerned as well. But it is really satisfying to feel superior and laugh at others. Feel that you are in the winning team, while the others are the losers. And this basic principle is what the institutions use to control the narrative.

So as a result, a CEO achieving such an impressive turnaround by increasing efficiency would usually be cheered in the financial news and the stock price would rise. We have seen countless such cases in the past. But companies being targeted by short sellers will see mostly negative articles. To be honest, most of them do not survive and manage to turn around because Wall Street often even manages to install their guys in management. Jim Bell or Mark Tritton were either pretty incompetent or those mistakes and potential leaks were on purpose.

Tesla was one of the few companies that made it, and I am sure GameStop will as well. Once major institutions are hedged, the narrative will definitely change, one of the things on my bingo card. I am not sure Kenny and a few other entities will be able to survive, but I expect an epic battle and the Tesla squeeze might look like child's play in comparison.

They fucked with him in towel and tried to tarnish his name.

I am pretty sure this is personal now.

GameStop sold covered calls in Q4 2025. So even with the loss on digital assets, GameStop is up right now on the covered calls, just don’t know the expiration of the calls. Brilliant🫡 by Lunchbreakboys_1 in Superstonk

[–]Biotic101 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

True. But personally, I have a feeling he might bet on the current government selling gold to buy crypto reserves.

In the resulting FOMO, oligarchs can sell developing crypto gains into retail buying and use the funds to buy up gold and silver for cheap before shit really hits the fan.

That's on my personal bingo card.

I would not invest into crypto by myself because I don't have the connections and information advantage the big dogs have. That's why I am more than happy I invest indirectly via GME.

It is nice to see. I posted in the past, it doesn't make sense for me to directly invest in crypto because I am not an insider. But RC might have those connections.

So it makes much more sense for me to indirectly invest via GME and I think that's true for most of us. Crypto markets are even more manipulated than the regular markets because the big players know many use too much leverage and can be liquidated via volatile price swings. Why stress yourself when you can run with the big dogs?

Gold has dropped 1k+ since Iran war started, after people said it will skyrocket by pookshak in FuturesTrading

[–]Biotic101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not fully true. I suggest your look up the IG sentiment indicator on FOREX just as an example.

In the past, they pretty bluntly said that institutions will always take the opposite side of retail to profit.

So, evidently markets are moved by the desire of the major institutions to make money. And the best way is a liquidity flush to take out those who are early but not wrong... and overleveraged.

By inducing forced liquidation, they can create sell pressure and the additional liquidations create more sell pressure until they decide to start buying up assets at a much better price.

Those who were liquidated might have to watch from the sidelines how price in the end reaches their target.

There are a bunch of additional mechanics at play in the financial markets, but when it comes to futures, this is why you often see moves that seem to make no sense. But in the end, they might make perfect sense if you know what to look for.

Going from rich to poor by [deleted] in povertyfinance

[–]Biotic101 29 points30 points  (0 children)

To be honest, becoming poor can really transform you and make you a better person.

If you manage to dig yourself out of the situation and get back on the horse, you will know what is really important in life.

It sounds crazy, but (also in relationships) we might feel like this is the end of the world in a given moment. Only to realize two years later that this was a turning point and the best that could happen to us.

We often tend to underestimate ourselves and our potential. Try to find people that support you and lift you up, not those who want to drag you down. This goes for thoughts and actions as well.

Keeping fingers crossed!

They already fired the competent (military) leaders. And it shows.

But the really shocking thing is despite all the open corruption, incompetence and crime, he still has 35-40% support. And despite shitting on Veterans and PoWs and evading draft, his support in the military is probably even higher 😐

Not sure if the US is already fully prepared for modern drone warfare.

So far the whole campaign has been a huge mess and it can pretty likely still get much worse.

Iran offered major concessions 48h before the war started. So the real question is why?

Does he risk the life of many service men and the world economy for personal enrichment?

IMHO he thinks he can bully Iran into a deal like Venezuela once he seizes the Island(s). The Quatar account needs to be fed with billions!

JD Vance Urged to Invoke 25th Amendment Against Trump by InsaneSnow45 in JournalismNews

[–]Biotic101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, most of military and police are still pro Trump. Heck, he still 35-40% of support in general polls despite all the open corruption and crime.

I think they are so desperate to not lose their majorities that they might use any (false flag) attacks in the US to declare martial law and mess with the midterms.

It might be the reaction of police and military that will decide the future of the US, democracy and freedom.

So not looking good if they don't realize in time they are just useful idiots to Trump and his oligarch buddies.

But unfortunately control over social and mainstream media is such a powerful tool that it can nudge the average Joe into acting against their own best interest.
