View submission: /r/wallstreetbets is making international news for counter-investing Wall Street firms that want to see GameStop's stock collapse. The palpable excitement is off the charts.

GME is eventually going to drop back down to reality. The short sellers managed to undervalue it and WSB is now overvaluing it.

$GME will moon but it won't be for long and it's going to come crashing back down in a couple of weeks.

So they will both lose, but WSB will take it as a win because to them at this point it's not about the money, it's about sending a message.

So what you’re saying is that anyone on WSB who pulls out at the right time could make a fuckton of money but most people won’t?

I don't think there's ever a doubt, seems like people are hanging on for the potential short squeeze like it was with VW.

Couple of weeks? Don’t bet on the timeline, the market can stay irrational longer than you can remain solvent. Couple years, sure no contest.

Everyone knows this. It just has to be overvalued long enough to force the hedge funds to cover and close their positions. That could be by the end of this week. At that point, the original goal of bankrupting Melvin Capital is achieved.

Not really. The retail investors who bought into the hype can't afford to lose.

The professionals will have hedged their investments, and they're not even investing their own money. They can afford to lose what they'll lose.
