In reply to the discussion: Last week's GameStop buyers feeling the burn [View all]Decoy of Fenris
(1,954 posts)46. No one involved in the GME squeeze is buying silver.
You're seeing a huge, well-coordinated and well-financed PR push from Hedgies to try to get GME retail traders to buy silver as if it's the 'next big thing' but the Reddit side was warned against this as early as Tuesday of last week; Citadel and a few other Hedgies bank heavy into the commodities, so buying those goes directly against the objectives of the Reddit WSB crews.
Lots of money and lots of social media pushing this narrative, but the GMEers aren't buying it. Tragically, some people not directly involved may buy in and end up getting burned because of it.

Don't think so, many of them actually intended to risk money to stick it to the hedge funds.

Are you new to trading? Seems like it, since the WSB crowd are holding steady.
