> Loosing a bet doesn't make you a not-smart investor.

People who never traded in their life and bought GME at $350 because reddit promised them big returns (I know a few in my friend circle) aren't smart investors taking part in a risky venture, they just suffer from fomo and have no idea of the risks

People who bought a few weeks ago may have made a risky calculated move though, I'm not denying that.

People who bought a long time ago and fomented the whole thing for a massive profit are definitely the only one I'd call smart, low risk, perfect execution, comfortable exit.

No one will make me believe that the people who bought at $350 are just as smart and taking the same risks as the people who bought at $5. They're not playing the same "game" you're talking about. Head or tails isn't the same as "guess the number I chose between 1 and 5000"

I don't know if "being the subject of an impending SEC investigation for market manipulation" makes for a low risk, perfectly executed, comfortable exit ;)

That's not to call their position indefensible, but I suspect some of the people who fomented the thing will have to defend it.
