Let's take the idiosyncratic risk of 2008, the housing market, Burry was early and he waited 3 years for the corrupt and fraudulent system to burn, and it did. Why? Because it's all Gladiator Games for the poors to keep them blind to a system of slavery.
There are a few outcomes here as we aren't fighting people, we are fighting algorithms that they can't stop but just control with the help of deregulation.
The things we are doing as investors who love our company, including DRSing, puts pressure on the entire system that they have to continually work to depressurize. If they didn't have to then we wouldn't be seeing everything we are seeing or experiencing the things we are experiencing.
If nothing was happening I would completely agree with you. If they just let it go and said "hey, here is the real reason this is happening, here is information saying why, it's definitely over, here is the proof, all of you go home" I would agree and say you're right, nothing is ever going to happen.
They won't, because there is.
If there were NO rules or laws that mattered, or they just didn't care to play this game anymore, they would have won already and they'd be sharing champagne over our losses, none of them would be going bankrupt, no debt would be counted or measured, no accountability for collateral would exist. It would appear that none of this is true and it would appear to everyone who sees it that they still have to play this game, which means we still have them by the balls.
RC is doing what he can which is to make GameStop a fucking awesome company that makes money which is the absolute most devastating thing he can do, turn a profit. He doesn't win with lawyers, the SEC, the Government, they are all in on it. We get paid because he is full throttle on making this company amazing and making fucking millions of dollars. They cannot hide a $3,000/share company under a $25 dollar/share price tag without blowing the whole thing up.
So they can do one of the following (which any of these don't even need DRS to happen):
They are all betting that Ryan Cohen can't turn a profit and prolonging this as long as possible so that they give him room to either make a mistake or go bankrupt, they are dead wrong.
I'm not DRSing to MAKE something happen, something is ALREADY happening. I am DRSing because when the shit finally hits the fan they will have to pry the shares out of my cold dead ComputerShare account for fucking billions of dollars.
