So as someone who knows absolutely nothing about stocks explain if I understand this correctly.
A bunch of people that manage big hedge funds shorted Gamestop.
Some people on Reddit saw this on a public record. They announced this to the subreddit leading to a bunch of people buying stock to drive up the price.
This in turn resulted in the people that shorted the stock to buy back the stock for more money (a loss) further driving up the price.

I'm going to warn you all for the last time. Heed it, go ahead, if not, fine by me, I did my part.
This market is going to have a severe 30% drawdown at minimum soon. Stocks like AMC, GME, etc are completely garbage and will NOT be around in their current capacity in 5-10 years. BB might actually be the only one you could rationalize. If you want to gamble, do you. If you want to trade and have a process and manage risk, profit, do you, that's amazing. If you think you can just blind buy this garbage, wait a day or a week and become rich, you will blow up your entire account. Position size accordingly. Respect stops. DO NOT AVERAGE DOWN ON THIS GARBAGE. Own quality, keep a cash position, gamble with at most 1-5% of your book if you need to gamble. I am under the impression that we topped out, I see all of the euphoric warning signs. I raised cash in my weakest positions to prepare myself for it. I will add to my best stocks at discounts and I will be happy. I want you to be just as happy when that happens, not dead broke and closing your accounts for good. Keep perspective. Stay humble. DO NOT BE A GAMBLER.
All about emotions and staying solvent.
P/E ratios, fibonaccis, none of that matters anymore.
We are in for TROUBLE.
Best of luck.
You were warned.

Use some cash on GME puts. To reiterate, the stock went to ATHs by several magnitudes, and my put option became profitable
The volatility is INSANE and yeah, JRS is right, these Icarus stocks will be the hardest to crash when the time comes.
