Thats funny, sure going to Gtech for an American as an undergrad doesn't scream privilege but seeing that today the total cost of going to such school will run you around 400k as an international student, while millions of people graduate high school in Nigeria and have to go through the hunger games of Jamb for extremely limited spots due to the lack of investment in education lead by his dad and cohorts tells a different tale.

Someone like him not born to such father in Nigeria, will likely be an high school teacher getting paid $100 every 4 months.

The level of downvotes on a Bjarne Stroustrup C++ programming language book joke[1]2] shows how much people are really familiar with the C++ ecosystem when they complain about how tedious it is. Have you really took time to learn the langauge?

Right, can’t short sale and 100% margin requirements. How is that newsworthy or anything to Wimp about.

Continuously issuing shares leads to dilution(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stock_dilution). This has a ramifications for board members like Ryan Cohen who wants to change the company trajectory and also tend to have a downward effect on the share price.

Then they bail out the shorts who have been driving done the price for ages. GameStop also file some form for a shelf offering for 100M with the SEC recently. Note the 100M is dollar amount, so you want to sell when you know the stock is at peak, you will get the 100M but less stock unit.

And I pretty sure most these are tech money. Amazed at the amount of enthusiasm at team blind.

People still don't get this. BLM protests, Capitol riots and now GameStop short squeeze. Social Media orchestrated historical events works and will continue to in the future. Dismissing or betting against them is asking for pain.

Yeah, its funny how people think they can understand the nuance of other people situation by just spending 45 minutes "digging" into it.

I see this same thing everywhere. From race issues to out of touch boomer tech managers and PM's.

Very spotty is different from non-existent.
