The lambs decided they weren't going to succumb to the wolves and they rose and rose and became lions

... Calls, calls, calls ... long talks on all messaging apps. Direct messages and always encrypted so not to be caught in conspiration acts. Today we have at our disposal all kinds of systems to erase tracks.
Fiction of one of the calls
- Hi there. Have you heard these starving crowd who have proposed to bring us down? But what would these inept morons have thought, if they haven't even finished high school?
- Well, what does that mean. How does it affect us?
- How it affects us? well look, to start your Bahammas resident pension plan, it has fallen by 45% today and if everything goes this way, we are going to lose even our shirt.
This conversation, perfectly, could be between one of the Managers of the hedge funds and one of the body regulators or heads of the largest investment banks in the United States, but in other time, it could be in other countries. Human nature does not understand borders. Once the calls are made, those who have to act are the recipients of the calls. We are talking about people who are in one of the industries that move the most money in the world, if not the one that moves the most, and who are also subjected to a system of incentives and temptations without comparison in other industries. We are talking about the MONEY industry !!!
Fiction of any other call
- Hello, how are you going to solve this Robinhoods problem?
- I dont have anything to do. That has to be solved by the industry without help. We are in an open and free market.
- But have you already forgotten the millions that we have paid from the bank for you to give lectures in your years in the dry dock while the crazy Trump has lasted?
After these fictionalized calls, what's no longer fiction are the public statements and defenses of one side or another. An alarming example is the case of the former SEC Commissioner who compares the Reditt Warriors to the attack on the Capitol. But her assertion could not be more unfortunate, when Trump, what she defends precisely is the elites of Wall Street.
Video of the statements
The lions those small investors, since then have suffered huge losses. We have gone from the high surge of prices and profits of the first days to falls since the last days of January. We are talking about those who entered the beginning of the raises have lost everything they won but did not sell, but sadly, those who were late to the party have lost much more than they could have expected. It is true that they encourage themselves, thinking that what they won left the same as it came, but there are many who have lost much more, given that they have mortgaged, with the aim of being able to redeem part of the losses with other bets.
Those calls made their effect. Since the bans on buy shares by brokers and stock trading platforms used by these lions to operate to total blockage of their accounts. An example is Robinhood that due to its lack of liquidity has had to close part of the operations (those are, at least the company statement). On the other hand, a great communication campaign that has demonized the procedure of the Lions, as we said above. But another fact that has greatly impaired this movement is that in the face of a lack of coordination, many of these lions, in their running after opportunities, unfocused to other targets that have caused the original effect of concentration in few stocks. The success of concentrating all efforts in one direction, It has been followed by a diversification of forces, clearly taken advantage of by the big hedge funds, who after a first lost battle, have joined forces to regain lost their ground.
The leader of the GAMESTOP Lions movement, has lost 19 million in the last days of the listing
There is no doubt that with the Internet era, there have been innumerable changes in our society, some of them have been telluric movements and many of those who believed they were protected by the status quo, achieved in recent decades and did not see the changes arrive. Sure enough, the world of retail, commercial banking and education, book stores and so on has been transformed, but when you look at the great circles of power, the very ones that were at the top, they still occupy the Olympus of the untouchables. Not even with the great crisis of 2008 and the fall of some of the big banks, the rest came to disappear, finally the governments, realized that the unknown scenario on economy that opened before us, with the disappearance of the banks and financial institutions, it could turn into your worst nightmare. Not because it was unmanageable or because it was harmful, but because it was the unknown.
In the same way that we have seen hotel chains falter, because AirBnB, without a single real estate property and of course, or Uber, has become without a single car in the The world's largest taxi company. But now it seems that the Internet and mobile apps have generated a new battle, this time in the financial markets, yes in that market, in which the rich have been rescued so many times with money from the poor. Paradoxes of destiny, the agent that has amalgamated them around him, has been an app called Robinhood. The same as the legendary character who, robbing the rich, distributed it among the poor. This app, which does not charge commissions, is the one that the “insurgents” have used to take up arms against the big players on Wall Street. David has taken his sling to beat Goliath.
If we combine that telluric change with the arrival of the pandemic and that after the 2008 crisis, the macroeconomic recovery has not spread throughout the population, but has rewarded the usual people and has been thanks to the public rescue, the result of Everyone's effort through public aid, it is perfectly understood that the fire encounter all the fuel required to take the pieces that have been taken.
These are the count of the operations in which shorts have lost the most so far this year. As you can see, short operations are not being very profitable lately.
So the events described are described as that small investors, counted by millions of them, have organized as if they were criminals to destroy the “poor” fund managers who are “defenseless” against such warlike power ...
A series of questions opens up to me:
- Really, are you telling me that millions of people are criminals and have committed proactive damage to hedge funds?
- Are there so many predators among the citizens?
- Are you sure that the procedures used are typified in a criminal code? If I'm not mistaken, they are using the means that have been using hedge funds for decades?
- Could it be that the small investor is tired of knowing that the one who always loses is he and that those who always win are the same?
- It will not be that hedge funds are finding the last of their shoe and that as when activist investor funds arose, or the new rules that protect small shareholders even if they do not succeed later, they have to cry to try to protect your interests?
The movements initiated in RobinHood, are or are not predetermined movements and a conspiracy to commit a crime. Big guys said Lions have banded together and organized to hurt hedge funds or, in other words, speculative shorts. As we said in the previous article, these funds operate in a way that they themselves call wolf attacks. In other words, the SEC and other regulators are accusing these little ones united in what they consider to be the opportunity to make quick bucks, of doing something that the "attacked" have been doing with supervision their whole lives.
There is no doubt that there can be a beautiful story to tell your grandchildren when they are told that they were among the first to get on the train that threw the wicked, those who have destroyed their pensions or their savings in hundreds of cases of scam in the capital markets, but what is clear is that they are not organized at all.
In postCOVID Survival Manual, I tell how this type of uprising of the weak is going to take place more and more after the pandemic. Mainly this is due to that bad being that is becoming more palpable. My vision is that in the same way that there has been an attempt, like the one we have witnessed these days, very soon they will improve in their organization and based on a trial / error method, the blows will be more and more successful. Soon we can witness a real shift in the balance of power.
There are two ways to gain power:
- Breaking the rules of the game imposed on us by the powerful. This is what I tried to do with GOWEX. That is a long story that I will go into at another time, but as a summary, I will say that I got GOWEX to become a company of more than $ 2Billion in 2013, starting from nothing and without help from anyone
- Create a new game in which the powerful cannot enter or are late and their access is unlikely. It was the beginning of GOWEX, but it was impossible for me to maintain it, because the powerful were very powerful and I was not able to maintain the strategy. Better is coming out in the case of Shatoshi Nakamoto when he created Bitcoin
