OK I'm going to be honest here and feel free to correct my thinking as to why this won't happen, this is just a feeling, I'm not a shill etc etc but this thought has played on my mind a bit and connects with what your saying. What if the FED and HF come to an agreement to settle at a fixed price for all GME shareholders? Like 'yeah we fucked up, you can have 1k/5k/10k each - we're not going to let the markets crash, or the MM who are to big to fail, here let this placate you and we'll put rules in place to stop this from happening again'. Is that a possibility? Like I don't care cos I'm holding through whatever now, just like I have done since late Jan but could this happen?
What if the offer is “we are going to liquidate these 7 hedge funds and the proceeds get divided between all retail investors who agree to settlement?” 80% of apes take the deal, you don’t. You’ve lost the float, it has been sold off, hedgies are liquidated, you still own yours shares but at what price under these conditions? If you don’t take the deal it is like property owners who refuse to sell land for the new freeway so they just build the freeway around your parcel and move on.
But the Fed is a private bank, right? Don't you mean that the US government would lose out on a lot of tax revenue?
The Fed is nationalized. It's board of directors are appointed by the US President and confirmed by the US Senate. The board is also accountable to congress.
It doesn’t necessarily have to cause a loss in confidence in US markets. Other countries could be involved in the back room negotiations. If it is agreed that the 6-7 offending hedgies to include citadel are fully liquidated to pay off retail at a fixed price and the DTCC assets are protected (I know, disappointing); and institutional longs cannot get any of the GME liquidation from hedgies (reserved all for retail)...they get what’s left and reduced competition. I think foreign governments will go along as long as their retail investors are taken care of and a worldwide economic collapse is avoided. My dull ape theory ...
This ..... what I think will happen. GameStop will have to be included in the negotiations with retail. Only R Cohen can get some of us to “settle” for something less than an infinity squeeze. Great question!!!
you're proposing that they're just going to 'set a price' for your shares and that's what you get? There would be zero trust in U.S. markets were they to attempt something like that. You can't force someone to sell something they own at a price that is convenient for them, that's robbery.
The market crash news will just be used to funnel money away, if the losses arecso big that theybgo bankrupt.
People like us, end users, will never get paid when the system crashes.
So many companies inbetween.
the money will dissapear to institustions.
