HERE'S HOW THE HEDGE FUNDS ARE FIGHTING BACK

Since this movement has started to cool down a bit, there has been a massive influx of stories about what stock(s) r/wallstreetbets is going to target next and about how the movement for GameStop is dead. Nearly all of these articles point to silver being the next target.

​

However, regulars on r/wallstreetbets are adamant that they have not decided to target silver. Redditors have even explicitly told reporters that this is not the case, and that they still have their sights set on GameStop. They have gone so far as to remove posts from suspected infiltrators on the forum that claim silver is next.

​

Still, though, the web is full of fake news about Reddit targeting silver. Hedge funds have an interest in population such fake news because they desperately need the retail investors' attention to shift away from GameStop so that its stock price will drop once again. This would allow the hedge funds to minimize their losses on their short positions. Therefore, it is suspected that certain web users are infiltrating r/wallstreetbets in the interests of the hedge funds so that they may divert attention away from GameStop. But many retail investors are adamant that they will keep their attention fixed on GameStop, and that they will hold their shares, no matter the cost.
