GameStop at $469/share at 10am, went down to $126/share by 11:20am, then back up to $492/share at 2:10pm. Now at @$247/share. Talk about intraday roller coaster ride, this is batsh*t crazy.

Around these parts, she's known for the high colonic blue plate special at her grill in Rifle.

Well played. I would also have accepted people buying GameStop at $300+/share (unless covering) and those who think CNBC is objective.

I looked at these and they were insanely expensive (like $45 for 100 strike put options expiring in Feb) even when it was at 300 so I passed, never know how long the party can run and options sellers win quite a bit more often than buyers

Whoa. I looked now, the Feb 5 320 puts - currently out of the money by a dollar, with only one week of time value - are at $128

That's insane

you can sell a 250 put ($50 out of the money) with 50 mins left in the market right now for $3

And the Redditors think they are pulling a fast one. A lot of money is being made $3 at a time from these YOLOS
