Reading through Fark and it’s just amazing how many people don’t quite get the motivation of the GS short squeeze. They’re either screaming that it’s a “pump and dump” and the SEC should get involved to shut it down or they’re sneering that the hedge funds will manage to avoid bankruptcy by borrowing enough to cover their losses while all those who participated will be left with “worthless stock.”

These must be the sort of folks who were left practically catatonic by the end of The Dark Knight, totally unable to understand why the Joker burned those pallets of money when he could have invested it all and lived like a king instead.
