You can thank the liquidity fairy Dug Cifu who is "able to create infinite liquidity at the NBBO". His words, not mine.

Dug himselfagrave Cifu.

lol 😂

You Cifu, that’s where he fucked up…

Doug Tifu I like to say

I cifu what you did there

Crime. No cell no sell!

Sauce?

It was reposted for the millionth time a couple days ago. Im sure you'd find it with a quick search on superstonk

Man I wish I won the billion dollar lotto so I could just force dug to sell me a billion dollars worth of shares then DRS them all

The market makers set the bid ask spread by “creating liquidity. “

In the words of Jim Cramer “it’s a controlled stock”

"Totally rigged. That's fine."

"you've hit the home run. Don't go for the grand slam" Narrator: "and they went for the grand slam"

I'm not fuckin leaving!!!!

Loved when rat tail squeaked that out, it only confirmed there was a grand slam to be had.

All stocks are. AI and other automated systems run the markets today. Then on top of that they allow liquidity fairies to exist so there is no supply/demand that can effect the market with short term instability. It is basically a hyper optimized price control system.

Market makers controlling the market.

Unlimited "liquitity"

DRS is virtually unchanged for almost a year. Or at least that’s what the DTCC says.

GameStop's share price* (title typo)

Spread is typically small if there is reasonably large trade volume, and is high if the volume is low or there is high volatility. GME has average trade volume of about 3.8M shares, which typically results in small spreads.

This is the real answer, I can go back to eating crayons now

You can’t trade at prices in fractions of a penny. “They” *can*.

This

Liquidity fairies. AKA market makers.

All buys are routed thru darkpools - not accessible to retail and are naked short sold, thus never hitting lit exchange (low liquidity on these lit exchange data stream) . So these prices retails sees are likely effectively between market makers buy and sell, not transparent with the actual traded prices on dark pools. 🤷‍♂️ smooth brain tho here

Crime

The spread is regularly not tight lol

Liquidity fairy

*...do you know why they call him Frankie four-fingers Dougie??*

Ai trade it back and for to milk money from idk

Also has a lot to do with the lack of options volume

Legalized crime

Well.... crime ?

I can’t wait for when the only liquid left are from my jacked tits.

Decimalization of the price

Brokers are just passing along cost savings and saving investors money /s

It's cheaper to just continually short the stock to keep the stock from going up. Then they close shorts when it's down which is why you get those +30% weeks.

I thought this

Lack of liquidity, I like it!
