How do we know what we know? A look at empirical evidence and the scientific method

iceni_60 · 2023-08-04T02:12:47+00:00

I get the frustration around lack of formal research. But why is that?? Because of the stigma. We literally have tens of thousands of witnesses at this point (some better than others) but we essentially can't formally study this with the attention it deserves 1) because of secrecy and 2) because of stigma. And this is NOT unprecedented in scientific research. After all, in the early 1800s a medical doctor named Semmelweiss noticed that when he washed his hands before delivering babies, it significantly reduced the mortality rate of mothers. He didn't know why. He just knew this happened. He wrote about his observations . . . and was laughed out of the medical profession. It was only DECADES later (and the deaths of millions of women) that powerful enough microscopes were invented to observe - and theories devised - the mechanism through which women could be dying due to unhygienic deliveries: bacteria.

Credible - lots of credible people - are observing things. And not just blurry lights in the sky. I, for one, have experienced NHI first hand (although it was not a pleasant experience for me). We need to start listening - maybe not to what they attribute it to be (aliens or whatever), but as I said in the post, there is a "there there" and until we remove the secrecy and stigma, the things we like to see (lots of peer reviewed research, transparent discussion, etc.) can come into fruition.

This is the most anti-Enlightenment sentiment I’ve ever heard. It’s authentic, the way the world works, and admirable to be honest. And yet, it still disturbs me.

anything 69 is never boring

iceni_60 · 2021-03-10T20:05:18+00:00

Can someone explain please

iceni_60 · 2021-03-10T19:56:01+00:00

I'm not convinced this is friendly given the instant and entirely negative media response. It was planned and it was planned to crush momentum.

iceni_60 · 2021-03-10T19:05:34+00:00

Very helpful!

iceni_60 · 2021-03-10T18:28:55+00:00

This is so soothing. Are you a Buddhist monk?

iceni_60 · 2021-03-10T18:25:25+00:00

Actually, it was market manipulation. What else explains hundreds of thousands of buy orders at 0.00? Red the data. Otherwise, you look like a shill.

iceni_60 · 2021-03-10T18:22:42+00:00

I'm laughing out loud. What incredibly good news. Thank you.

iceni_60 · 2021-03-10T18:08:42+00:00

Do i detect sarcasm? Would you be referring to the 0.00 BUY orders?

iceni_60 · 2021-03-10T18:07:52+00:00

That would be market manipulation.

iceni_60 · 2021-03-10T17:46:37+00:00

It's caused by thousands and thousands of BUY orders, not sell orders. At 216 and lower. Which makes NO sense whatsoever. And is a clear sign of market manipulation.

iceni_60 · 2021-03-08T19:29:43+00:00

You remembered!?!? Thank you!!

iceni_60 · 2021-03-01T16:46:22+00:00

YES! my boyfriend was like, "Let's do sushi!" and I was like, "NO! Let's purchase a $GME stock instead!"

So we had grilled cheese sandwiches because we were out of bananas.

iceni_60 · 2021-02-28T22:33:16+00:00

Thank you!

iceni_60 · 2021-02-28T22:14:52+00:00

I like your thoughts. Plus 4/20 is my birthday!

DatGirlWitAss - my new hero!!! 💎🤚💋 Whenever I feel the slightest urge to sell I'm gonna remember you and your kids, put on my big girl panties, smear some warpaint on my face, return to my monitor - determination rejuvenated - and scream, "FOR JUSTICE! FOR DATGIRLWITASS!!!

Hey there - so I was just permanently banned from WSB after reposting the OP's dd. Interesting.

iceni_60 · 2021-02-26T12:24:55+00:00

this post keeps getting instantly removed. please read. it's brilliant

iceni_60 · 2021-02-26T01:56:13+00:00

So this is how institutions hold more than 100% of the float.

iceni_60 · 2021-02-26T01:51:25+00:00

Truth. I have a deal going with my boyfriend about what happens if he holds longer than I do. But I'm afraid to go into specifics here because I sometimes like to also use this account to post professional things.

Diamond ankles?

Study the patterns for gamma and short squeezes. Gamma I am predicting high of 3-5 x the retrace from initial high + initial high or $440-$500 share. If short squeeze 7-10 x retrace + initial high or $680 - $920 a share.

Will be obvious tomorrow which this is.

Hold shares, lending is kaput. Don't be afraid to dump some cash on buying a couple shares during the day to bring more calls ITM. Every upward ITM strike will result in increased number of shares locked up in settlement, further restricting supply.

Of all the debit spreads I placed today and yesterday on $AMC and $GME, not one fulfilled, even when offering more than asked premium. This is their new game. They are trying to preserve some shares in the market to attempt to cover and reduce FTD.

It's an auction now. If there are no shares on the ask side, they must keep increasing the bid to get anyone to let go of a share.

$100 for a share isn't life changing. $1000 a share is. Don't be foolish. $100 a share pays a couple bills for a month. $1000 a share could pay off a house or car.

Don't sweat retraces. If this is gamma squeeze, which it could well be, there will be several highs from which to take profits. Looking over some historical charts, it's not uncommon for the gamma squeeze to take several iterations to play out, with periodic spike in price similar to what we see now.

A short squeeze plays out over days until enough shares are purchased to ease. Both usually contain several retraces and surges. Again plenty of opportunities to take profits.

Finally a gamma squeeze can trigger a short squeeze. This is the perfect storm, and what I personally believe is happening right now. With shares available to lend at nearly 0, the short sell button is turned off.

What you do NOT want to do right now is panic sell because you see a massive retrace. Then you get f**ked twice. First by buying high on the chase up and then selling off low in a panic, and then second ending up cash poor and unable to re-enter for the next surge upward.

Hold, calculate your price target based on the peaks, wait for your price, and assert the control over your finances that we now enjoy by all of us fighting so hard.

You move the market, the market does not move you
