This may be an old man yells at clouds moment, but Nicknames are historically a big part of the sport and it seems like no one really gets a nickname anymore.
If I can wear my homer hat for a minute. Ja Morant is a player than needs a real nickname.
Hailing from Dalzell, SC (home also of Ray Allen), Ja Morant has so many opportunities for a really iconic nickname.
You could go with the Dalzell Dash or even the nickname of Dalzell fits him well. Ja "Razzle Dazzle" Morant.
What player on your team deserves an iconic nickname and what's your submission?
Positive options talk has been suppressed and FUDded for a year now.
DFV held Far dated calls, was he wrong? FUCK NO.
A wall street veteran saying how POWERFUL that RETAIL BUYING CALL OPTIONS is and was last January would and has set off massive alarm bells for the SHFs
Multiple highly awarded comments on the orginal video post about options were deleted. Upvotes squashed and reddit outages all day. Sucks for the SHFs though, this just made the vid spread further.
Call options are the number one thing they've tried to bury for the last year.
They use ITM Put options to shit on the price for every big dip and retail can use smart Calls to raise the price and then EXERCISE those calls to squeeze the life out of them once and for all.
They've been pretty successful at burying any positive options talk but still the truth has slowly been leaking out and apes are waking up. Apes will not be kept in the dark any longer RE options.
u/gherkinit in particular has been fighting against this FUD for months and his posts and in particular the MOASS Trilogy DD are a must read for any apes wanting to understand options and how they have affected and will affect our beloved stock.
Buy, hold, Drs & buy further dated call options if you know how and then EXERCISE them. (Cashless exercise, sell one call exercise another etc.)
PS.
Great info from u/ CunilDingus: "Call options with major expirations are important to price action. Don’t lose money on weeklies. The next major expiration dates are Jan 21, Feb 18, Mar 18
Research. Buy. Buy Calls. Hodl. DRS."
PPS.
I made similar comments in a few of the posts about this video today and they got a lot of awards and upvotes so I made a post. So you may have read something like this already.
This is the #1 piece of FUD I’ve seen for the last 12 months and it’s just been blown to bits. I’ve been all-in on GME since Jan 20, 2021 and every week I see a post or comment either begging for or asking why not has a long whale just come in and blown up the hedgies positions (implying that because it hasn’t happened, the squeeze isn’t real).
It’s because they’re not allowed to do so by the SEC due to mArKeT mAniPuLaTioN.
Charles Gradante in his awesome tirade explains that retail, since we’re all just individual investors, were (and are) able to just keep buying and buying more shares and calls, which Melvin and other hedgies hedged by buying more shares, hoping the buying would eventually stop, but retail just kept buying more and more as the hedging raised the price more and more, death spiral infinity loop to Oort Cloud.
We were allowed to do it because the SEC can’t act unilaterally on millions of people simply buying a stock and options on that stock, it’s completely legal and normal market activity. So instead, the market makers, Shitadel especially, used their influence and power to get brokers to turn off the buy button.
Then the SEC and Congressional Finance Committee launched BS investigations that completely avoided talking about the real issues and instead talked about RETAIL needing to be regulated, rather than rightly pointing the finger at the market makers who abuse their privileges to swing the market to their whim and advantage.
So, at least from all this, we can finally put to bed the FUD idea that the squeeze isn’t going to happen because otherwise long hedge funds would just have blown up the whole situation by now. We now know they’re not allowed to and we simply have to continue holding, buying, DRSing, and also playing smart options (far-dated near the money or in the money calls) because THAT is the exact recipe that led to last year’s sneeze, and will ultimately lead us to the short squeeze.
This January, the end of this month, we’re heading into the same conditions as last year but with a fraction of the liquidity, which means the price is WAY more volatile on MINISCULE volume. We’re seeing 10% upswings and downswings on less than 5 million volume. Do you not realize how fucking insane this is?
Last year, that 10% price swing would take 50 million volume or more. If you were around last February, you remember that we used to forecast “slow days” by measuring if we got less than a million volume in the FIRST M

Assuming Charles becomes King before Andrew's problems are resolved, what do you think he will do?
Are his principles for fairness and equality so strong that he will not protect Andrew?
Is his belief in the position of the monarchy so strong that he will protect Andrew?
It might be Charles's biggest test as the monarch. It might damage the monarchy itself. Do you think that will influence what he does?
Thanks!
I'm not going to pretend to be an expert in options, but I know that the topic has been taboo in this sub... And for no good reason as well. There are safe options strategies that can and should be discussed in our fight for the MOASS. Every path should be sought out. Charles Gradante in the post recently suppressed on Reddit pretty much validates that it was Call options on GME that mooned the price. Go watch it if you haven't... It gives me chills.
If you want MOASS as bad as I do, you'll seek out all paths to it. Price is extremely low right now which means options are VERY cheap. With the upcoming price action in January (FTDs due), we could very much see a squeeze in January. I know enough about options that you'd want to buy expiration dates after the expected price movement so maybe Feb or March expiration dates might be worth noting.
I am in no way against DRS... But I'm not against call options either. Heck DFV was all about calls and exercising options when they went in the money. I think it's an absolute shame call options aren't being talked about as openly as it should. I'd like to change that here in this sub.

Title sums up my rant.
Starting next week, I will be refinancing my home too pay off all the debt I’ve incurred over the last year and selling my car. The substantial remainder of funds from these transactions will go straight to $GME shares, no matter what the price is, and I will DRS 100%. I will continue to buy on a bi-weekly basis through Computershare.
I will confidently and faithfully leave the ball in the capable hands of Ryan, Matt, and the exceptional top tier leadership guiding our beloved GameStop. Once they secure control of the ball in their court, may they represent the 76.49M shares owned and directly registered to their rightful owners in the best interest of the company and its shareholders and slam dunk that shit.
I believe in Web 3.0 and I have invested in a company that shows a promising and equally vested interest in its fruitful future. As an early adopter and a long investor, I don’t have to worry about what is going on now because I’m interested in what will be happening 10 years from now after I have backed this company through its transition into the future.
I love this community and love my fellow apes no matter your preference in stock. I implore you to directly register your shares if you feel as confident in the leadership as I do. This is the only way the leadership can protect you as a bonafide shareholder and fight in your best interest. The leadership is obligated to act in the best interest of the company and its shareholders and it behooves you to be named as the shareholder as opposed to your broker, for the interest of your broker does not reflect your own.
Thank you all for the memes and unforgettable moments. Thank you all you exceptionally wrinkle brained apes for all the amazing DD that led me here. Thank you u/deepfuckingvalue for being an inspiration to us all, staring directly in the face of the opposition in the name of apes everywhere without so much as stuttering, slapping them all in the face with the double down of the century, and most of all, for opening the door to the greatest opportunity of a lifetime. The opportunity to change the world…one brick at a time.

Edit 1: A special thanks goes out to our silverbacks fighting the good fight like Lauer and Trimbath. Didn't get a mention in the main body, but I certainly appreciate everything you do. That goes to everyone else fighting to expose the ugly sides of this market and standing for change.
