Decolonise colons!
And in this case you're borrowing to buy a house that was only worth £100k last week and is likely to be worth even less then that next week.
I think I'm missing a big point of what's going on here. What's the end game, lose a load of personal money in order to make some hedge funds lose some of their clients money? Is there some mechanism I'm don't know of where the short sellers will be forced to buy the shares at a higher price in order to fulfil their position? Even then surely people will start to sell at that point bringing the price down.
As far as I can see the only people who will win are those who got in early (and probably the people pumping the stock on WSB). The underlying stock is still a shitty old game store that's running on limited time.
Yeah, it's very bizarre. I think once the ball started rolling it just became a "greater fool" game with a side dish of Trump-logic revolutionary LARPism.
