The game of GameStop is one big game of poker with two players. The longs versus the shorts.
Investors in GameStop are holding, they know they have a great hand.
The shorts however, are still in the game. They know their hand is not as good as the longs, yet they keep on playing.
The longs keep raising and raising and the shorts are calling the raises, raising themselves as well, but it's only bleeding them dry, as they pay interest on their borrowing.
The shorts have millions upon millions to use for shorting, but they are against a long opponent that has a ton of cash received from people in countries all over the world, who even put the chips in their names making them purple.
The longs know the shorts are bluffing. They have shouted, called the longs names, used media and social media to distract and discourage them, and even turned off the rebuy option, meaning the longs had to be very economical with their plays.
The game has been taking years and isn't over, but the stack of chips at both sides of the table is shrinking while the amount chips in the pot is enormous.
It all comes down to who can hold the longest. No one is going to fold and it will all come down to the dealer asking the players to show their cards and the game comes to a stop.
It's all a game of hold 'em, in a company with its headquarters in Texas.
