      It's really not that complex. When you short, a broker lends an electronic asset (shares for example) and buys them back from you later. If the price at the moment you give them back to the broker is lower than when they lended them to you, you make a profit and they take a loss. It's a Contract For (Price) Difference where a trader or investor expects the price of an asset to drop.

    Great video explaining something that was a major public issue in Germany, where I live. Most people didn't understand the background - but they did understand that 1) this was a personal game played by some of Europe's richest men. Partly to try and get richer - but in all honesty it was more about the egos of the guys involved. Everybody wanted to screw the other guy. 2) It was shady as hell and 3) the thousands and thousands of workers at these companies didn't count for jack. EVERYBODY that was a central player in this was involved in scandal again and again - some serving jail time (for other stuff.) Ferdinand Piech finally died some time ago. It was officially from a heart attack. But this - of course - is impossible. He had no heart.

      It's a German thing(and really all people everywhere thing when families start a business together). Adi and Rudi Dassler, the brother's who started Adidas, hated one another every since they where forced to share a plate of Vanillekipferl.... The brotherly battle led to a split in the sneaker giant Adidas. Rudi who had had enough, went on to pimp another sneaker brand that we all know as Puma. Probably because his brothers real first name was Adolf, Adi was the nick name.

The buffer company has 100% of the manufacturer's stakes and the management company has 50.1% of the buffer company. The rest of the buffer company stakes were transferred to Volkswagen.

      @@CategoricalImperative very long story short, with the amount of us holding the stock, if we don't sell our shares then the hedge funds can't pay off their debt from shorting GME. The interest keeps increasing until it gets to the breaking point, then the Mother Of All Short Squeezes(MOASS) will commence, exponentially increasing the stock value because the interest is growing faster than they can pay off their debt. We can literally decide what the stock will reach because as long as we hold, it'll keep going up. This will never happen again.
