This is not intended to be a poor me story. This is also not a story that will somehow be compensated for if and when the GME squeeze occurs. I’m a small town boy that grew up in west Texas. We didn’t have a lot of money but we were raised with the mentality of dream big, work hard, and the sky’s the limit. My father came from a farming family. The type of work ethic that requires a couple hrs of work before school every morning. Not only were hand outs never ask for if given wouldn’t have been accepted. My father worked an assortment of jobs while we were growing up. Most of which allowed him to be a father. He took up trading commodities in a small over sized closet. I don’t exactly know all details as he doesn’t speak a lot about it. I do know it didn’t go well. Fast forward 20 years and after growing multiple business starting in sales moving up the corporate ladder as a lot of our parents did. In 2005 he took our families life savings and started a company. The company specialized in storm water pollution prevention and primarily worked with new home builders. The details don’t matter but we all know what happened in 2008. At the time of the crash my fathers company was in multiple states around the country. They were by no means rich but the company was growing. His company had over 2 million owed to the company accounts receivable. Working with some of the largest home building companies in the US. Companies like Dr Horton, KB Homes, History Maker Home to name a few. Due to corporate loop holes along with corporate bankruptcy regulations, these companies simply went bankrupt. Within weeks they had started work under another umbrella. The banks that wrote the bad loans that caused the crash in the first place jumped at the chance to make money from these newly debt free companies ON OUR DIME. My father out of his own pocket paid all of the accounts he owed and his vendors. Thankfully they had a small loan of about 30,000 which hopefully be able to use to rebuild. Chase bank after years of corrupt choices and days after receiving a mind boggling bail out by the people of this country, Chase deducted all but $300 out of their checking account. To say the least it was devastating. I worked at a restaurant. Both my brothers were valets at the airport. My sister was about to start college. We all pitched in and at times even bought our parents groceries. After about 9 months, finally Chase did final give the money back with some BS excuse as to why it ever happened in the first place. Hedge funds, Banks (DTCC), and even the SEC all have continued on as if nothing ever happened. I know there are millions of stories each as tear filled as the next. The price your family paid will NEVER have a dollar amount that will somehow compensate. We all paid for it with of blood sweat and tears over the last 10 years. The elites and “1%” will never understand this movement. Don’t get me wrong this IS about the money we can and I believe will make off of GME. The powers at be have made money their god, at the expense of our lives, our future, and the dreams we had worked so hard to obtain. It’s time we take their god from them unmercifully. Tell your neighbors, call your family, take adds out in the paper, get the word out. Buy 1 share, 5 shares what ever you can afford to lose and let’s break this wheel so maybe we can rebuild it. If we band together now my little girls may have a chance to grow up with hope in America and your families can look back and say this was the turning point for real change. Write your story and post it. Let’s finish this revolution! Let’s make it so big, so loud they can hear us from their ivory towers and won’t be able to ignore us any longer. This is not financial advices. I am not an English professor and I’m sure my grammar blows. My parents could not afford college for me. Jk!! I was to busy chasing skirts and skipped my 8am freshman english class one too many times. Hold the line we getting close!
