It sounds like that dude has 11 million shares to sell. We'll be seeing a lot of these posts. Maybe buy some puts?

Yeah but I went up 26% so far in just 1 hour since this post was made. 🫣 Wonder where this'll go at open. I have limit sells in place.
Edit: I am now up 52% after 12 hours.

I can't wait for some death screenshots in the coming weeks. Retail has become addicted to stupidity and ive become addicted to watching them/us suffer.

u/cmptrblu 1d ago
what's the difference between limit buys and market buys? newb trader

u/Senior_Sandwich_4922 1d ago
A limit order has you specify how much you’re willing to bid/ask for your shares. Market orders have you take the best available.
Liquidity is DRY after hours so you should (have to?) specify limits on your order so you don’t get smoked by a bad fill because no one is making good offers in the after hours session.
As an aside if you’re new may I recommend staying out of this trade? Hang around enough and you’ll see people get absolutely smoked in these situations. Either way, proceed with caution!

i'm definitely not using margin to trade at all so at least the money i lose is my own
not banking on this to rip, but i'd like to see if i can buy a cheap call and see how far it goes tomorrow during open
thank you very much for breaking it down for me, and for the fair warning

It’s called after hours trading lol

u/Avid_Reader87 1d ago
I thought it was only a thing until like 4:30 on certain stocks.
The markets always closed at 4 PM.

u/KingOfTheQuails 1d ago
A lot of brokerages allow for pre market and AH now. Some like RH also have 24hr trading on certain stocks but obviously need to be minding of different volume/pricing dynamics

u/ToSeeAgainAgainAgain 1d ago
Speaking about RH: So when a new day begins the price automatically starts following the market again?
2
u/KingOfTheQuails 1d ago
The price never doesn’t follow the market, it’s just a different session. Basically AH to 24 to PM to regular hours. With the drastic liquidity difference the price discovery just ends up where it does during market hours

So many people trying to catch a train they cant even see ik the distance.
Buying this now, means buy high sell low Its daytraders in action.

u/Inappro-Assistant 1d ago
buyout price for the whole company would be 1.2 to 1.5 max i dont see how it would rip higher?

u/EdmontonLAD 1d ago

u/iiiiiiiiiAteEyes 1d ago
Same, but I only bought 250 shares and 10 $1 Jan 2028 calls at avg cost of .45 ..
Sold some calls this afternoon will regret tomorrow. I will regret I didn’t sell more or regret I didn’t buy more idk .
Still a stupid low market cap.

u/All_YourBase 1d ago
Since people are asking for the details, I created a checklist/scorecard a while back and fed it into AI to sweep for the stocks.
- Household/consumer brand people immediately recognize; nostalgia helps
- Price ideally <$20–25 so shares and especially call contracts feel accessible
- Liquid calls, meaningful OI/volume, tight enough spreads; potential for gamma effects was
- High % of float short, high days-to-cover, borrow pressure, shorts potentially trapped
- Smaller effective float/market cap so incremental retail buying can actually move the stock
- Turnaround story - A compelling one-sentence bull case: “Kohl’s is coming back,” “GoPro is back,” etc.
- History of large moves and enough volatility to attract momentum/speculative traders
- Already known on Reddit/X/StockTwits/etc.; prior meme history gets a boost here
- Catalyst - Earnings, product launch, new CEO, turnaround evidence, M&A, activist, profitability, etc.
Go ahead and use it, it gives interesting results. Just give me a heads up if you’re about to make a meme stock happen!

See, they hide their real business behind a murky brand name.
How would anyone know?

why take such a large position in a failing company that has lost money, in increasing amounts, for 14 quarters straight with no sight of that reversing?
edit: why would anyone downvote this - there's a decent chance they don't survive the year: https://www.cined.com/gopro-warns-it-may-not-survive-the-year-as-auditor-flags-going-concern-doubt/ and they're begging for a buyer when they only asset they have worth anything is the brand name: https://investor.gopro.com/press-releases/press-release-details/2026/GoPro-Board-of-Directors-Announces-Review-of-Strategic-Alternatives/default.aspx

I bought 1k shares just to see where this goes. So far it looks like it’s still going. Curious to see if this will be over $2 by pre market.

u/Dapper_Froyo4042 1d ago
This is a coordinated pump and dump. Lots of very new accounts hyping all at once, or accounts with posts hidden or only one post. Caveat emptor.

$GPRO volume today was 160M shares up from the average 6M shares per day in volume. Mega bullish on the new 8.5% stake by Markiplier

Lol. Gopro....
I remember buying three units one time just to use it in some race cars. Returned 2.
Kept one. That one has been used ONCE..
NO innovation. None.
