How Redditors Exposed The Stock Market | The Problem With Jon Stewart | Apple TV+ 

@@stschannelt1476 I agree, he's the OG player in all of this and to top it off, he's so very watchable and likable!

How did these guys come up with enough capital to buy enough stock to hurt the hedge funds, can someone please explain?

@@eliakimbenishchayil There's tens or maybe hundreds of thousands of people buying the stock and the price was being pushed artificially low by the hedge funds shorting it. Regular investors bought stocks for a few dollars and by the time they were done they had purchased so much that it drove the stock price up.

The most interestin thing is that there is in fact a way to "shut it off". Pretty incredible the sys has a means for those in pwr to literally just turn it all off so they can control their risks and would-be financial hits.

I doubt there's anyone running the world that would say "oh noes". Just sayin.

Who makes me deeply depressed as he drops truth bombs. Unless things improve in the last minute - I’m 15 mts in and shaking my head and how fucked up all this is.

“Someone should question him publicly” - dude looks so defeated as he says that. Fuck Jim Cramer and his theatrics from when Jon last spoke to him.

Just wait until he starts talking about race. He gets real post modern and Marxist quickly

@@thoughtinvestigation4263 What does that even mean? Like, give me actual examples and not Jordan Peterson word salad.

Yeah, such an edge that literally parrots every everyone else on the left

YES!

Then maybe he can explain how Democrats have let in 10's of millions of illegals over the past 35 yeara while always saying...'"we need imigration reform" instead of simply enforcing standing immigration laws. And at the same time ask Democrats why they did not spend the $$$ billions used on illegals to instead help black Americans.

@@carlfrye1566 Maga hat on too tight? Or you one of those Qanon idiots?

​@Carl Frye work on your spelling and grammar.

@@rudysal1429 Hmm. I'd say it's not all he should work on

In a gold rush, the guy who makes it big isn't the one who mines the most gold. It's the guy who stood outside selling picks.

Jim Cramer was so fucking apologetic in that interview. Crocodile tears.

wish jon would quit being a fkn child and question biden publicly.

@@charlespancamo9771 You were born yesterday, I'm assuming. It's the only (comparatively) logical conclusion I can draw from your inane statement.

@@BornFlunky No I was born in 1982 so I got to see Jon hold everyone on both sides of the aisle feet to the fire. For anyone completely removed from both parties (like myself) that clearly ended before he even left the daily show. Back to right now - He's not doing his job by playing softball with Bidens and democrats. He's not being the authentic Jon we all grew to love at one time.

​@@charlespancamo9771 If you actually saw all those things, you would have also seen the times he has -- in fact -- criticized not only Democrats, but Biden directly. He has done both things in The Problem, even. But you haven't. You've seen RU-vid clips -- maybe -- and not the whole wealth of his work. And are thusly making a hilariously uninformed judgement. But more concerningly, you've been caught in the trap of "both sides," apparently more interested in being biased towards "fairness," than actually taking the scale of the problems within each party, comparing them, and correctly concluding that one party has vastly more issues to correct than the other, and ones with more immediate ramifications. And if you don't currently know what fairness bias is -- which is actually fair, many don't -- then you don't understand a core part of the nature of Jon's work, and I would recommend learning about it.

JON STEWART FOR POTUS. I don't care. He's much more honest and charismatic. He'd fuck Trump right up the ass in an election too. He should pull a Trump with the DNC primary.

He’s achieved nothing. I love Jon and I love what he does but it’s not that comforting because it doesn’t change anything. Everyone in America knows they’re being screwed but it keeps happening brazenly because those in power all know they’ll continue to get away with it.

​@@kiriakoz I can't say he has achieved nothing. He championed the 9/11 responders bill and shamed Congress into doing the right thing, I will give him that. He has joked at least one generation into being one of the most informed ever, even if they haven't used that information at all. But despite his relentless, righteous pillorying of populism and the most batshit crazy elements in both parties he wasn't even a speedbump for the Tea Party or Trump. His most noteworthy moment was calling out Tucker Carlson...and that moronic shit-golum is still on the air with an audience that is bigger than ever. Net loss, sadly.

Tis facts!

Jon Stewart may be the biggest thing to happen to this situation yet!

I was laughing so much I forgot the topic of the video

The audience was asleep this whole segment

IKR, I was laughing for like a solid minute before I realised I lost track of the plot and had to rewind

I don't think the crowd for this show was very big. Jon's back to getting massive laughs on The Daily Show now!

@@McShag420 Supposedly, he backed out because Apple wasn't gonna let him rip into China, or AI. This is why he mentioned both of those like first thing on the first episode he hosted when he came back to the Daily Show.

and, yet, it's part of the government, which is SUPPOSED to be working for the people. Newsflash: It's not, and has not been for a LONG, LONG, LONG, LONG, time

Not only is it not over but the shorts for gme still didn't cover or at least there is a ton of evidence that points to them still short gme. That's part of the problem btw because hedge funds aren't required to disclose their short positions. Ain't that a mother fucker?!

The FED...

DRS

The SEC and the FDA seem to have a ton of stuff in common

I'd say that it's less that people don't care and more that people are too physically ill to do anything. Those who are healthy enough are able to muster the energy to do something. The rest have fallen so chronically ill that they're mentally incapable of much more than perpetual pain management.

allot of people do care but just not the ones that can actually make a difference because they are already rich as fuck!

Yea, he dragged Cramer over the coals years ago. I was a little shocked he agreed to be on the show. Cramer actually did disappear for a brief period of time, but I guess he's back at the buffoonery again.

@@youtubesucksforforcingthis He can't live without it

@@youtubesucksforforcingthis he probably needs the money.

He didn't spit fire on The Daily Show about his brother Larry who was COO of the NYSE during the 2008 Meltdown. Larry toasted Occupy Wall Street from on high while laughing at your pain. Jon is gaslighting his audience.

@@TheKitchenerLeslie Translation: "CHANGE THE SUBJECT! CHANGE THE SUBJECT!"

@@elbruces From lies to facts. Can't deal with it? He's not a good guy.

@@TheKitchenerLeslie So you ever see that video where Jon Stewart utterly destroyed Jim Kramer, to the point where even if you didn't like Jim Kramer it started getting uncomfortable AF? Let's hear what you have to say about that. Because that is the topic of this thread. Not whatever else you wanted us to talk about instead.

@@elbruces Jim Cramer is Andre the Giant, Jon Stuart Leibowitz is Hulk Hogan. See how it works?

Unfortunately he still has a job being a cocaine fueled clown on the air. Till MOASS and all their lies are forever exposed

He's still got a job on TV so I'd say it probably didn't have a huge impact unfortunately

holy shit you made it all the way to the end without losing it?

Yes if the general public or people actually get this concept they would be buying gme in droves. It's really a hidden gem in plain sight. Once in a lifetime opportunity and last January was only a glimpse of it.

DRS 💜

So this means it‘s a good idea to buy a few gamestop shares?

@@alexanderlang7691 I've always tried to buy a few shares when I can and then DRS them as soon as possible. That's something I do for myself; feel free to do what you want. But IMO, the price action of GME is completely separated from the fundamentals of stock trading. Its movement is ridiculous and has been for a year now. We see occasional run-ups and then dips back down to below $100 with low volume on the day, which makes no sense if you subscribe to how the stock market is traditionally discussed (high volume of buys/sells = price swings, but isn't true in GME's case, because we see large swings with very little movement; this, to me, strengthens the argument that there's some weird shit going down). I have a few shares here and there just for security purposes. I made some money on the first run-up back in Jan '21 and then bough the dips a few times since then to hold. When this thing blows, $100/share will be a bargain. As always, only spend what you can afford to lose.

@@alexanderlang7691 no it really isn't unless you are ok with not seeing roi, because gme is a hold only stock there is no underlying value much like bitcoin and all blockchain services. investing in a speculitive market is as bad as what these people do on a day to day basis.

Everyone needs a Margin of Safety in their portfolios and just remember, It's time in the market versus timing the market.

De-risk your portfolios, shore up your core holdings, and take some profits while balancing your portfolio allocations. I’d also suggest you go with a managed portfolio, but even those don’t perform so well, so it’s best you reach out to a proper fiduciary to guide you, that’s what works for my spouse and I. We've made over 80% capital growth minus dividends.

this is all new to me, where do I find a fiduciary, can you recommend any?

"Heather Ann Christensen" is the licensed advisor I use. Just research the name. You’d find necessary details to work with to set up an appointment

Thank you for sharing, I must say, Heather appears to be quite knowledgeable. After coming across her web page, I went through her resume and it was quite impressive. I reached out and scheduled a call

That's insane, I don't mean to be rash, but we should eat the rich.

Nowadays a financial planner at the bank will talk you into investing in one of their actively managed trust funds, where they can charge you for high commission while consistently underperform the market. If you want exposure to the stock market, just buy index funds.

@@gingerbread_GB Yes, we’ve just learned exactly this…25 years later

Good thing there's a streaming service for every channel and cell phone company now...Thanks Jon...

Cokerat Cramer's balls shrank three sizes that day.

Jon would need to be on some serious Sativa strain weed to keep up with that coke rats nonsensical ramblings

Thanks I'll check them out!.

Actually, to me, it's one of the Great Signs of his utter failure. His & American society's. You guys are quite the collection of infantile cowards, aint'cha? He's begging congress to stop blocking heroic first responders from getting needed medical aid. Why? We _have laws_ that make it illegal for members of congress to 1) interfere in business one way or another, & 2) it's _ALSO_ 100% illegal for them to use their public office for personal gain, as the articles of impeachment against Trump made very clear. Politicians are Private Citizens. Wtf does Mitch McConnell _do_ exactly that you're so afraid of removing his playing piece out of fear the whole structure of government will come crashing down? The answer is that only your infantile idealism of politicians will suffer. That's it. That's entirely it. You all would much rather gladly sacrifice your *Own Children* to a fantasy; To _retain_ a fantasy that retaining it doesn't make real. Capitalism isn't the end result of laws of physics or nature. But acknowledging this would again force people to recognize that again, their beloved Daddy-Protectors are failing them. So, Mitch has to act immorally because capitalism is holding a gun to his head. Even by infant's standards, this is pathetic. The main difference between you cowardly adults & actual infants is this: infants _can't sustain lying to themselves this way._ It harms their psyche. & you all _KNOW_ this! But just as a drunk's only priority is their drink, a coward's one is making up excuses as to why they can't take action. You didn't even ask to see where the missing 16 trillion disappeared from, didn't lift a finger to help the First Responders, never questioned anything that might lead to you having to deal with one iota of adult-level responsibility. "♪ It's The American Waaaayyy... ♫" Now go bomb some innocent Brown children overseas because you feel blameless when you accept commands.

Love this man.

It’s not fair. Not even close. It was designed for these institutions, not for retail. Needs major major reform

@@stillpaints The chocolate cake packing person is referring to the New York Fire Department and the veterans from the 9/11 attacks. There was a law in Congress to give them compensation and at one point the law was not gonna pass - that's when Jon Stewart invited some of those veterans who have lost limbs and health helping people during the attacks to be on his old Comedy Central show - and the law was approved. Now, about inequality (in relation to stock ownership) has increased because of the asymmetric information distribution. The Stock Exchange does not create wealth - it just transfers from one investor to another and the investor with more information will win more often (I'm talking legal information and not insider trading). Stocks are a way for people who want to create companies that create wealth to get the money they need. Once the stock exchange became a game it stopped fulfilling it's purpose and became a important cause of the deindustrialization process in several western developed countries. If I'm not buying a stock because I want the dividends that regularly I earn from it but because I want to sell when their price is high, then I'm ok with things that will kill the company that issues the stock as long as I can sell when it's high. There's a country in the middle of Europe where less than 50% of it's industry is open capital (traded in the stock exchanged): Germany. Some German companies, like Carl Zeiss, have stocks but they are all in the hands of the Carl Zeiss Foundation and are not traded. Stock prices drive CEOs to see into the future as far as groundhogs see in front of their noses. Anyway, NYFD is New York Fire Dept.

Bitcoin trading is just like any other business but in this case more sophisticated and advanced.

A career in Bitcoin offers you the opportunity to earn a lot of money if you have the patience to learn the process and strategies involved or better still get yourself a professional broker.

Investing in Bitcoin may seem scary but know that it takes time and effort today understand how bitcoin works. If you understand the potential impact of bitcoin it won't be hard to understand why investing in Bitcoin may be a good idea

Earning 500k per year on salary job is just $50 per day trading Bitcoin.

Bitcoin is a global safe heaven for investors.

Thank you Jon for using your platform to talk about a ridiculous problem with our financial systems

Can't say that today.

THIS IS ENTERTAINMENT!!! PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS AS NEWS! The Daily Show gives you the validation and emotional strength, the sense of righteousness to continue doing the right thing. Do not get news and entertainment confused!

Well...I wouldn't say that is entirely correct. Shows like this DO share facts about events. But it does have a bias...although most reasonable people would agree the bias is toward anti-corruption and therefore acceptable.

We got our news from Jon on the Daily Show and it never drove me crazy like CNN and MSNBC. It's not really their fault though, they have to repeat the same stuff every hour on the hour. We shouldn't have a 24 hour news cycle.

It was dumb to get your news from daily show back then and it's even dumber now.

Right? Let's go!

This is what happens when media organizations get bought by hedge funds/market makers..

and yet, he throws shade at joe rogan….the guy who made a name for himself addressing exactly those uncomfortable topics….really strange tomes

Yup, Yellen and the SEC buried that shit real quick.

covered it a year later

But you do have a voice. If you buy a stock and direct register under your name it won’t be able to be manipulated by brokers. People in GME have been doing it.

The stock market exists to extract wealth from normal people. You may make money nominally, but you are in the minority. The system is set up so you lose purchasing power over time unless you're actively managing your investments. Brokers and traders call 401k and ETF investors "dumb money" for a reason. They are taking advantage of you.

If you watch other media, they were shaming the Redditor, when I said media I mean even the New York Times was on all this madness, and to top it up they also do everything in their power to not give them access to continuing. What that application (Robinhood) did was criminal and they should take them to court.

You know 80-90% of people (or whatever the number is) that lose money in the stock market don’t lose money because the stock market is rigged. They lose money because they make incredibly stupid moves in the stock market. They lose money because they buy GameStop stock at all time highs because it’s going up and they want in on the action despite the lack of fundamentals to justify such a price increase. They lose money because most of them day trade. An investing strategy which will put you directly up against quants like Jim Simons who have better and faster equipment than you, and are smarter than you. Yet most people are attracted to this style of “investing” despite the odds being stacked against you. Can the stock market be rigged sometimes? Well kinda but not really. Nancy Pelosi is a good example of a “rigged” stock market. Do people lose money because the stock market is rigged against them? No. Do the top 10% of people hold 80-90% of the stock market because it’s rigged against the bottom 90%? No. The stock market isn’t an example of inequality. The stock market isn’t a tool to transfer wealth from the poor to the wealthy. The stock market is just that, a market, just like any other market. There will be winners and there will be losers but in the end, the majority of people benefit. A small minority will get almost everything and that’s just how it is and how it always has been and always will be as per the Pareto distribution. People will keep losing money in the stock market as long as people make stupid decisions. The stock market isn’t what’s rigged. What’s rigged are the games that they play in the stock market. You wanna make money in the stock market? Don’t day trade, and you won’t lose to quants. Don’t ape into meme or overhyped stocks and you won’t lose to hedge funds. Don’t buy into overpriced assets and you won’t lose to your own stupidity. Don’t leverage to the tits and you won’t lose to banks. Don’t use RobinHood and you won’t be caught in the crossfire when their market maker gets squeezed into a position forcing them to take action to save their own asses at your own expense. Don’t play their games and you’ll do just fine. All that being said, Nancy Pelosi is still an insider trading criminal b*tch and needs to be fired and lawmakers can’t be allowed to trade. “Oh but it’s a free market” Stfu Nancy, there are people in positions granting them with less information than you that you forbid from participating in the stock market because they’d be insider trading. You can’t have your cake and eat it too. Pick a lane. B*tch. Edit: Typos.

"Duck's Guts", as we sometimes say down here in Australia, when we really enjoyed something, or appreciate someone's performance, or perhaps just like being in their company.

I don't think that most Americans truly appreciate just how much Australian, and I suppose, the English speaking World's Media is (and has been for decades) permeated by the American News items, T.V show's, T.V Commercials, Music, Arts, Clothing, Social Movements etc, etc, etc. Add nausea.
