"The will to succeed is important, but what's more important is the will to prepare."-- Bobby Knight
"They" are not going through with it. They are actively opposing the idea. At least if you take They to mean the Wallstreetbets folks who started the GameStop thing. The media is saying that silver is the next thing they are promoting, and many people who don't read the Wallstreetbets Reddit forum and just believe the MSM are the ones buying silver right now. Did I mention that the hedge fund that lost the most money from shorting GameStop has some large silver holdings, and stands to profit nicely from a pump and dump of the silver market? But the MSM isn't in bed with the the hedge fund billionaires. Not at all.
I care because the disinformation is so blatant. And because the Main Stream Media propping up the hedge funds at the expense of the small time investor is something that almost everyone opposes, regardless what side of the aisle they are on. I care because it is waking a lot of people up who used to swallow all the BS that the MSM spouts, since this can't be easily dismissed as 'those crazy right-wingers'. Even though they are trying to paint it as 'right wing', anyone who thinks about it for two seconds sees that this whole incident has a lot more in common with Occupy Wall Street.
Agree to disagree, Hedge funds represent everyday Americans who put there money in to win, Wall street bets put there money in to win. To date i have never met anyone who put money in to lose. The hedge funds are the titans, but backed by more then the media. There backed by millions of people who want a retirement, which has only been around since 1889. Its hard enough to find morality in a fallen world, but in this case everyone is out make there gains, as dave ramsey puts you need around 10% returns for a healthy retirement. On Average then the worlds companys need to grow at that unsustainable pace.
