One year. Millions of memories. Share yours here.

MSM: “Take the home run.” APES: Fuck you, I won’t do what you tell me! Ook ook. We Are NOT Fucking Leaving

This has been an amazing year, I've learned more about the markets in this year than I have my entire life. While its hard to pin point a specific memory, I am most fond of the community that we have built, that wants reform in the financial industry.

My favorite Moment was probably the second GME run. I was sitting there and saw GME raising from 30€ to 80€ to 100€. At this moment I knew I had to do some research about the market, how it works and how I get involved.

When the realisation set in that we’re in for the long haul. Taught me a lot about patience and not caring about paper losses. Game changer.

My favorite memory is back in the end of May beginning of June when AMC ran up then being on Matt korhs channel and being part of the St Jude's super chat donation it was fun times always a blast on Matt's channel

When RH robbed us

“I’m about to fuck some shit up just FYI” -chamath

My favorite memory was the day RobinHood disabled the buy button, and posts kept coming up on WSB about buying options and immediately exercising them to get around the restrictions. I was floored. Once it became more known, the stock kept going back up. Then, it got patched. Once the lawsuits showed what happened behind the scenes, we learnt that Citadel/Robinhood knew about the exact post I'm referring to, and had their departments looking into it so they could patch that and refuse option holders' rights to exercise their options. It's not necessarily a good memory, but I'm so happy to be a part of this. I'm currently at a big loss, which is a great reason to keep averaging down. LFG!

Slamming market orders every Friday!

DFV positivity even when he was invited to congress

When I took away the sell button! 🤷‍♂️

They took away the buy button and I'm ashamed to say I fell for it. Sold everything I had for a very small profit. I, along with hundreds of thousands of others have since learnt way more about the way the corrupt market mechanics work. Best lesson I've ever had. Now I'm back with 20 times the amount of shares I had before and I'm never going away

Finding out that the whole financial system is rigged by a cabal of fuckers and that we may have a chance to end their reign of terror!

When RH turned off the buy button...

I was sitting on the sidelines thinking about buying in and seeing the madness afterwards. I knew I had to join the movement for change. Own both GME and AMC. Proudly.

Catching that citadel employee doing coke in the office after hours with the drone

I have 2 favorite Memories over the past year. 1) The fact that a bunch of individual retail investors in GME came together to raise over 100,000 USD for kids to celebrate the Christmas season, through a fundraiser dedicated to Toys For Tots was AWESOME to see. 2) I engaged with the Reddit forum of The Terminal, asking for skepticisms towards the GME saga. I heard back from The Terminal's CEO Dave Lauer, who has experience working in the industry, and for a minor period the hedge fund that is at the center of the naked shorting, Citadel. From his perspective the sentiment was a 'its possible but unlikely' outlook due to the amount of power that is held by these big firms. A few months later, he made a post to the GME forum. This time his sentiment has completely changed. After just a few months of reading the Due Diligences created by individual retail investors, he seemed completely on board. With his expertise, seeing his sentiment of retail being able to take on wall street's corruption change from a 'Low probability event' to "Thrilled to be in the fight with you' was a great moment for me. It is time that Retail gets access to the same information that Institutions have when making investment decisions. Thank you to the Urvin Finance Team for working on getting us there.

The excitement I had when I saw GameStop shoot up was like being a kid at Christmas morning. I did not know what was happening at the time so I jumped in, made a quick 4k and when I got out, everyone was talking about AMC. I did not have knowledge at the time of the squeeze but AMC provided me with valuable memories and the price was cheap but climbing fast as well. I got in at $19, got out at $21. Price was still going up and I felt as if it truly was the next GameStop. I jumped back in at $23 afterhours, at the absolute top when all of a sudden they took away the buy button. I had no fucking clue what the hell was going on. I have never experienced something like that before and I was in a state of shock. Shock turned to anger and I saw my account quickly lose extreme value. I didn't sell. Ever since that day I have dedicated a great deal in learning about what was going on. I lived and breathed any DD I could get my hands on and developed conviction that this play was the play of a lifetime. I kept throwing money at it like my life depended on it. I became very aquatinted with the different flavors of Ramen noodles. Every bonus I have received I have bought shares. Every amount of overtime when into AMC. As time went on, I developed a black heart and no level of manipulation can affect me. I am only 1 out of MILLIONS who feel the same way. We are here to stay until all shorts close. We are all in this together and we are not fucking leaving!

My favorite memory is DFVs appearance in front of Congress and the subsequent doubling down on his position. That's probably the most legendary thing to happen during all of this. I wish I could shake that man's hand and share a beer with him.

My favorite memory is ongoing! Whichever is the freshest incarnation of the APES. Few can challenge the apes for their powers of great courtesy and humanity (ape-manity?), empathy and humor, qualities absent -- spectacularly absent -- from centralized authority regimes. Whereas the past decades have whispered of the potential for a decentralized humanity in the rise of decentralized technologies, apes have SHOWN the incredible actuality of a decentralized humanity. All under a hail of insults and financial manipulation. Where apes have succeeded, others will follow. The future just became brighter. POWER TO THE PLAYERS. APES TOGETHER STRONG

My first baby.

Watching people constructively come together after the squeeze and the buy button got taken away. I bought my first shares on the way down and I watched people be strong, and collaborative rather than tearing at each other’s throats even as the price dropped

The feeling when we made it the first time, and the second, and the third... And the fourth? THIS IS THE END

Walking with my best friend the night of the 28th discussing how we are going to the moon 🌙🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀👨‍🚀👩‍🚀

I remember watching the run-up from the side lines. Watching the buy button get turned off and the immediate aftermath was one of the things that convinced me that MOASS is inevitable and to get onboard.

Robinhood setting restrictions on GME on Jan 28, 2021 :(

My first GME shares arriving into my ComputerShare account from IBKR. A sigh of relief.

Parking the AMC We’re still not leaving van in front of the Citadel Headquarters in Chicago was pretty funny in addition to all the airplanes with messages was very fun!

Had to be when DFV confirmed he wasn’t a cat and then doubled down. By far the most wrinkled being in the entire hearing. Fuck Robinhood. Gme forever. I like the stock, and I always will.

My favorite memory are all the late nights, end of December 2020, trying to figure out who this Deepfuckingvalue guy was, laughing at fantastic GME memes (my favorite being the starcraft one from TangerIl) and seeing the WSB subreddit just blow up. So much energy, so much confusion, so much speculation and excitement. So much fun!

I remember seeing a stock’s price start rising fairly rapidly over the course of a few days so I decided to place a buy order. The platform had chosen to restrict trading on that stock. Within the next few days we saw billionaires on TV complaining that this volatility of pricing was an ‘attack on wealthy people’. That’s when I realized the ‘fair’ market wasn’t quite so fair when those who are losing money can change the rules.

🙂😲🥳😁🤔🤮🤬

Financial freedom taken away 1/28/21.

Gamestop posting this photo was the best thing they could do, besides sharing Ryan Cohens pitch to the mass of top level executives he has acquired to join our cause. Can't Stop. Won't Stop.

This has been an amazing learning experience. A year ago I bought my very first share on the US market. This month I wrote a 15 page submission to the SEC on Securities Lending, which the legendary Susanne Trimbath PhD quoted on Twitter.

Weird stuff going on

My favorite memory is oddly enough March 10th, 2021 (Mario Day). Gamestop was ripping and I decided to go out and get a party sized chicken tenders from Raising Cane's to share with my neighbor who is a fellow ape. No sooner did I have my tendies in hand when I check the price and see it tanking. GME dropped 40% in 25 minutes. That moment solidified my conviction of how broken the system is and steeled my resolve to work towards a better, more equitable market.

Extremely weird stuff going on...

I had been in for a couple of months, and the thesis was being proven correct. Then they changed the rules to benefit themselves. No issues if the price had gone down organically, but it was an artificial drop caused by turning off the buy button. Terribly unfair.

Seeing the conviction of the Apes built throughout the course of the year to mend diamond hearted warriors

My favorite memory was just getting into the stock market, and the first time i bought a stock i was fucked, but it all ended up turning me into a whole different animal. So I learned everything i needed to, did all the DD, and kept my belief’s and the family close to me.

I remember a few days before last year, i was researching on GME and all the hype that was building up to. I was hesitant to buy it until the 28th came around. It was increasing quickly and I jumped at 350. I've never experienced FOMO before but that event was wild. It was exhilarating. A bit after, they turned off the buy button. I wanted to sell, to not lose money, but something told me to keep holding and I still hold to this day.
