You know why right? Silver is also a good play, it would work perfectly along side GME however they can crush the
paper silver market (like SLV) at any time.
See as far as i understand the extremely high volume of shorts makes the squeeze that much easier to achieve. Theoretically if everyone who owns the stocks holds, the prices would skyrocket to infinity as the shorts have to bid higher and higher to coax someone to sell. There is no out, they need to settle with stock.
With paper silver, much bigger fish play in that pool (like JP Morgan) but more importantly it can be settled in cash. That's the trick. They can basically short more than every ounce of silver on this planet in one shot to lower the price and if people take them on that bet, they don't need repay in actual silver ounces, they can claim Force Majeur and settle in cash so there can never be a proper squeeze. This is how they've rigged that market.
So they've already lost what $50+ billion in January on GME and stand to lose more in the coming months, of course they are going to get every MSM outlet they can to shift the momentum into another area where they can control the situation better.
The way silver becomes dangerous, even more so than any stock short squeeze is when it comes out of the system. When people start asking for the real thing, not only has it been suppressed in price for decades, it also eliminate capital circulating in their rigged markets. $10,000 of gold and silver sitting in a privately allocated vault is $10,000 that's not swirling around for them to skim from people. Think the ultimate anti Wolf of Wall Street Fugazi.
Honestly I didn't invest a single cent into any of the short squeeze stocks but I'm probably happier than most who have gained for one reason. People are waking up to yet another fraud that's a cornerstone of modern society. How many people now clearly see that the hedge funds can rig the markets for their gains no problem, while they cry foul when the retail investors formed a makeshift hedge fund via Reddit and outplayed the real criminals. It's a good start but I'd like to see the DTCC become a little bit more known in the mainstream as that is the real scam behind the scenes.
As for the media, that too is a wake up call. I'm sure most have already seen this bias during the Trump administration but now with a neutral topic it reaches people who might not have woken up to this either. Dangerous to to our Democracy can now be replaced with "Dump GME, buy Silver"

Just to end off, George Carlin warned us years ago with scary accuracy. People thought it was a joke, that he was overselling it for comedic purposes. If anything he just scratched the surface of the shit that's going on. Events like this are peeling away the curtain revealing the wizards of fraud.
Listen carefully
