yeah. I mean, reality is what it is, and it is up to me to deal with that. That's just how it is. Minivan lady needs to wise up fast, and that's hard truth just like being a Jets fan. But you do clarify part of why I just don't do this stuff. I'm wired soft. Lots of ways not to be a sucker, fortunately.

If you still hold the equity after the short squeeze, you have to sell it to someone or you'll be sitting on it for the crash.

So profit on it and buy some broke ass looking person a tank of gas every so often.
People are happy sticking it to these guys because they live and love taking people like that woman’s money with no remorse and blow it on shit like suits and rolexes. I feel bad for that lady too for being dumb, but odds are her life has been littered with poor choices like investing in meme stocks she has no knowledge about and it’s why she’s driving a beat up van instead of a decent one.

Theoretical question from a pleb like me with no deep understanding of many of these things.
Lets say for whatever fuckery reason, there’s a panic and GME shoots back down to $25 or something like that.
Hedges have lost billions this week. In that kind of event, would the hedges get all their money back and then some, or would it be more or less parity, or would they get some back but still be bigly down.

It's impossible to say because you don't know what they have done with their positions during this week. Some that started out getting hurt 3 days ago won't surprise me at all that they profited bigly off of this.

Yup the clearinghouse (apparently the same one accounts for 75% of the volume for clearinghouses) got really nervous when the volume was getting close to 1 billion. That's a lot of lot of shit to possibly get stuck with.

The short holders can close the position whenever they decide they've had enough. (That may have already happened to a significant degree here, we don't really know. 90% of GME changed hands yesterday.) Then you've got your money tied up in inflated stock no one wants. Race to the bottom as soon as anyone tries to get out, and someone always will.

Someone or something had to bleed out for the funds involved to stay solvent. I fell they just made the decision to let RH go up in flames to save the rest of the fleet. Make no mistake to lose RH to this debacle cost them a shit load but it saved so much more.
EDIT
All these lawsuits won't mean jack when they file for bankruptcy in the next few months.
