It would be good if an official response could be give by Adam Dodds (@adam) via Twitter as I can only see these questions escalating as we approach the vote date. Even if we cannot vote, just a message to confirm that our holdings will be accounted for will put a lot of people’s minds at rest (and save the poor customer service reps a lot of time!)

Let us know
I got exactly the same response as you, RE drivewealth being able to confirm the number of GME stocks they hold.
When pressed to clarify I got this
Basically they don’t know
Ask if they can ask someone higher up
Or drivewalth themselves

Tbh I think people get more riled up when you refer to the people you are trying to stop from “losing their hard earned money” as “lemmings”. Seems a bit disingenuous.
I get that it may be annoying in the way that newcomers may post to the forum but there is an undertone, at least to some, in your posts.
TBH I couldn’t really care that much, but I do think people have a point.

That’s good, the main thing is that we have the number of votes

For clarification, the people I’m worried about losing their dosh are those taken in by the hype. The lemmings are the ones peddling the hype.

Sorry what hype? The hype from 4usd to 40usd. The hype from 40usd to 470usd… the net hype of 4usd to 170usd seems to make the same sense.

Ok, I hear ya. Have you heard of Dave Lauer, Lucy Komisar, Wes Christian, etc? These are the experts now critiquing and sharing DD on Reddit.
The community there is 300,000+ strong. Anything written there is pulled apart and disseminated by thousands of ‘Apes’ and several experts.
Watching the change from r/WSB to r/GME then r/SuperStonk has been fascinating. It’s been described as one of the biggest social experiments ever and I for one am very interested to see how the group as a whole reacts if this does take off.

I’m sure there are some investors who have done some useful DD but I’m also sure there are many more that haven’t.
I think the biggest questions are when is the short squeeze going to happen and what is going to trigger it? The background being that we’re what 4 months since all this started?
One possible catalyst would be over 100% voter turnout in the current board vote. This was the main reason why people were anxious to know if their votes were counted as ‘non votes’ therefore adding to the pool or if ours were just left out. Another would be a dividend offering. A merger/possible new ticker. Basically anything that confirms without a doubt the existence of naked shorts.
Yes for sure there are loads that haven’t researched jack spit*. There are loads that do that as a norm on FT anyway. It’s just that a higher proportion of serious investors use the forum. Don’t worry about other people’s money, especially if they aren’t

Front page of Google. I’d say they’re all experts in their fields. Obviously I’ve read a little more though…

the end of the road is approaching from GME lovers:
WallStreetBets isn’t the go to for GME related reddit posts. The newest home is r/Superstonk. This is again media FUD. Crypto loses 50% of it’s value, bound to cause massive discussion. This in no way reflects the Redditors sentiment toward GME.

is r/superstonk the one where the guy faked death threats from hedge funds?
Not seen that, could have been r/GME in between!
An odd transition from useful information to people trying to create online platforms for themselves.
Maybe a potential squeeze isn’t the only way people are looking to make money on this.
