Who are the AMC apes?

They’re the retail investors fighting for market change in our financial system.

We’re the ones who saved AMC and GameStop from going bankrupt.

Welcome to Franknez.com – the blog that provides you with articles on stock, crypto, and market news. Here are 10 myths about the AMC apes the media has wrong.

Let’s get started!

1. “Apes Have No Education”

Apes Together Strong

Apes actually come from a variety of backgrounds and yes, professions.

Retail investors in the community range from your average 9-5 hustlers to business owners, doctors, and even lawyers.

Though many identities are kept hidden, it’s not difficult to see why.

People from all over the world have become an ape for more reasons than just money.

2. “Apes Want To Overthrow The Government”

apes are exposing financial risks

Apes don’t want to overthrow the government, apes actually just want a fair market.

Contrary to how apes are portrayed in the mainstream media, the community is not made up of hooligans who want to overthrow the government.

Apes simply want government to hear the communities concerns regarding the market.

Hedge funds pose risks to our financial system.

The ape community has made it a mission to create real change for a fair market thus sparking a real movement.

3. Not Everyone Is A New Retail Investor

New Retail Investors

The community attracted many new retail investors.

However, many apes have been investing in the stock market for years.

I’ve actually provided the community with my personal long-term winning stock picks for when they’re ready to diversify.

Other apes in the community show new retail investors how to read chart patterns and even how to day-trade other plays that aren’t AMC or GME.

This is the community where the average person can not only learn how to invest in stocks, but also gain magnitudes of value and knowledge.

#4. We Don’t All Hang Out On Reddit

apes wallstreetbets reddit

Although apes started on Reddit, a lot of apes don’t actually affiliate themselves as a ‘Redditor’ or with r/wallstreetbets.

AMC and GME apes have separated from r/wallstreetbets mainly due to an increase in infiltration from shills, toxic persons who’s mission is to bring down the community.

Subcommunities are now much tighter around a variety of influencers within the community as a whole.

And although we don’t often identify as community leaders, influencers have done a great job at keeping retail investors together.

#5. We’re Not 19 Years Old

AMC Apes Retail Investors

Contrary to what the media might think, the ape community is not made up of 19 year-olds.

In fact, majority of apes are much older than that.

But, I won’t give that information out to marketers.

The community isn’t naΓ―ve, there are a lot of wise and intelligent people with real stories and lots of experience here.

The media often times portrays us as rebellious youngsters.

But I believe many of us will actually be the future leaders of our nation.

#6. We Don’t Actually Eat Crayons, Well Sorta

apes eating crayons

Eating crayons is a taunt and is part of the ape community culture.

It’s a message to smart money that we’re dumb money, yet we’re making money while they lose it by shorting AMC and GME stock.

The meaning of eating crayons originally separated us from formally gathering as a community to buy these stocks.

“Buy and hold, but what do I know, I’m just a crayon eating ape.”

Although I must say, I wouldn’t be surprised if some apes do consume these delicious snacks πŸ˜…πŸ˜‚.

#7. “Apes Just Want To Make Quick Money”

apes don't day trade amc or gamestop

If apes wanted to make quick money, then the community would be day-trading AMC and GME stock.

However, that is not the ape way.

Apes buy and hold the stock.

Seasoned apes who got in early could have cashed out tremendous amounts of gains but continue to hold because it’s not about making a quick buck.

It’s about making life changing money through a short squeeze play.

Apes have a why.

In fact, leave a comment below what your why is.

Why do you hold AMC and/or GME stock?

#8. “Apes Worship Adam Aron and Ryan Cohen”

AMC and GameStop Partnership

The community has a tremendous amount of respect for AMC CEO, Adam Aron and GameStop Chairman, Ryan Cohen.

We support them because they’re running the businesses of America’s two favorite stocks.

We want to see them succeed, but we don’t worship them.

In fact, most apes are willing to continue investing in both companies after MOASS, especially if a dividend is announced.

#9. We’re Actually Not Jim Cramer’s Friend

Jim Cramer AMC Apes

Despite The Street’s Jim Cramer portraying to be close to the ape community, he can’t sit with us.

Few apes actually respect the guy, but he can’t sit with us.

Did I mention that?

Mr. Cramer has just contradicted himself too much and the community is huge on trust.

We have more trust for FOX’s Charles Payne and CNBC’s Melissa Lee.

#10. Apes Invest In More Than Just ‘Meme Stocks’

Apes invest in more than just meme stocks

The ape community might have a ton of new retail investors only dedicated to AMC or GME stock specifically.

However, many apes are also invested in other assets such as crypto and even NFTs.

Apes are the retail investors who are finding the early plays and putting their money to work for long-term financial gain.

Some popular crypto apes are currently invested in are Dogecoin and Shiba Inu coin.

These Retail Investors Fight For What’s Right

The AMC and GME communities are a beacon for change.

We seek to establish a fair market so that future generations no longer get taken advantage of by corrupt hedge funds and financial institutions.

I’m confident the fight for a fair market will further continue even after AMC and GME MOASS.

What else does mainstream media need to know about the community?

Gensler’s Agenda Violates Investors’ Right for a Fair Market

Gensler's Agenda
Gensler’s Agenda – Falling Further Back

SEC commissioners have released a statement on the SEC’s website regarding Gary Gensler’s Agenda.

Commissioners Hester Pierce and Elad Roisman are disappointed with Gary’s proposals, noting it fails to include proper investor protection.

The retail community’s concerns have fallen upon deaf ears when attempting to reach Gary Gensler.

The SEC’s Chairman has failed to establish a relationship with retail investors and protect them against market injustices.

Is it time to replace the SEC’s Chairman due to negligence of retails rights?

Here’s what commissioners at the SEC are saying.

franknez.com

Welcome to Franknez.com – while Gary Gensler had a real opportunity to win retail, he chose not to take matters seriously. Now he’s under intense scrutiny.

Let’s get started!

No Sign of a Fair Market on Gensler’s Agenda

Falling Further Back SEC Statement

“It fails to include any items intended to facilitate capital formation and misses opportunities to foster fair, orderly, and efficient markets and further investor protection”, says the statement.

Titled, “Falling Further Back“, the commissioners mention Gensler’s agenda plans to redo recently completed rules, and add new regulatory obligations, and constrain investor choice.

This sounds like Gary Gensler is anti-retail investor.

To constrain investor choice is to force a particular course of action.

Recent rules made by the SEC protect retail investors in some form against hedge funds, so why does Gary Gensler want to alter these existing and completed rules?

To impose new regulatory obligations on retail investors sounds rather restricting if you ask me.

Another issue these commissioners encountered in Gensler’s Agenda is the neglection of helping companies raise capital by lowering their thresholds.

Higher thresholds provide a plethora of opportunity to employees, businesses, and small investors.

Abandonment of OTC Trading Regulations

SEC Securities Exchange Commission

The commissioners are disappointed that the agency is no longer considering the approval of regulating the quality of OTC transactions.

OTC, or over the counter markets is where trading occurs outside a centralized exchange such as the NYSE.

OTC trading provides hedge funds with a loophole to commit fraud since there is less regulation and wider bid-ask spreads to manipulate the market.

Keep in mind commissioners over at the SEC are disappointed with these choices.

It is not common for colleagues to speak out against one another.

But their hands are tied behind their back.

It’s going to take the community to raise awareness surrounding these alarming concerns that allow financial institutions to manipulate the market.

Low CAT Data Security Leaves Investors’ Data Vulnerable

Cyber security is massively important in today’s world and commissioners over at the SEC say Gensler’s agenda fails to prioritize action on data security.

The CAT system, also known as consolidated audit trail, is the current computer system used to record orders, quotes, and trades and identifies the brokers dealing them.

They fear that slowing down the protections around the CAT system leaves investors’ data vulnerable.

Measures were supposed to have taken place last spring but have now been put off.

The end of the statement reads, “We urge the Commission to apply our scarce resources toward better uses than undermining recent precedent and depriving the markets and investors of these rules’ benefits.”

If the SEC is not properly funded by our government to take appropriate measures in the market, then this too causes systemic risk.

There’s no question the SEC Chairman must be replaced but that is only my opinion.

How To Solve Issues Within The Retail Community

AMC Retail Community

There has been a massive boom of new investors within the retail community.

The community has grown on Twitter, Facebook, and Reddit ever since the rise of GameStop, AMC, and other ‘meme stocks’.

What is keeping this new wave of retail investors alive?

For most it’s the drive to make a life changing trade.

For others, it’s more than just the money.

It’s about fighting against market corruption.

As the community grows, we’re beginning to see a little bit of division.

While not everyone in the retail community might see eye to eye, there are certainly ways to solve common issues.

franknez.com

Welcome to Franknez.com – if you’re a retail investor you’re going to gain so much value from this article. I hope you enjoy.

Let’s get started!

Finding Common Ground

retail community

It’s important to identify the common ground when facing issues within the retail community.

Whether you agree with someone or not, are their actions going to affect your money?

Your trade or your investment?

And if so, is it positive or negative?

The retail community, but most specifically the ape community, has a common goal to squeeze short sellers from their positions.

The common ground here is the retail community wants a mother of all short squeezes.

The retail community as a whole isn’t divided, we’re simply beginning to understand our differences.

We’re beginning to identify a variety of scenarios and ideas that may cause a short squeeze within AMC for example, and not everyone agrees.

Or, some retail investors are inclined to think there is only one short squeeze play, whether it’s AMC or GameStop.

What’s the common ground here?

Retail investors are saving companies they believe in from hedge fund culprits.

Eliminate Cheap Influencers

If you’re growing restless from Twitter drama, it’s more than likely because you’re following influencers projecting drama energy.

I’ve mentioned this in the past.

The retail community needs to look out for their well-being and identify which influencers are actually providing valuable information and content.

AMC was clout for the online personalities you see now that don’t provide real value to you.

It’s never been easier to identify these people than it is now.

Solve these headaches by eliminating influencers from your timeline that provide no true value to you.

Some issues within the retail community are much simpler to solve.

The type of energy you follow is what the AMC community will mean to you.

And to the influencers reading this, what you say matters.

You have the power to shun all negativity, don’t feed it.

Respect Valuable Influencers

The reason many retail investors have been able to make a massive amount of money on paper is primarily due to a number of valuable influencers.

At one point you read, or watched a video on what was happening with GameStop or AMC earlier this year.

Whether you hold now because of that influencer or not is 100% up to you.

But you cannot deny, disrespect, or attack a valuable influencer for simply being an influencer.

While yes, I agree that some personalities have more influence than they should, you have the power to exclusively follow those who bring real value to the table.

So what’s a valuable influencer?

These are the influencers that have been providing you with value nonstop, year round.

Drama-free, just giving.

They’re the ones fighting for a fair market and look out for the community as a whole.

The ones who actually care about you making tons of money.

The Content You Consume Matters

Reddit, Facebook, Twitter, Discord, there are so many ways to consume content from the community.

This content can be a simple Reddit post or a tweet.

I believe most issues the retail community is facing at the moment is due to consuming content that manifests mental exhaustion.

Because you already know how easy it is to HODL.

The content you consume matters, community.

The Data Hasn’t Changed

amc retail community

An issue the retail community is battling against in the macro is that of overleveraged hedge funds.

The financial system is polluted.

These momentum stocks continue to be heavily shorted.

And hedge funds will eventually have to cover.

The way we can solve these issues surrounding hedge funds is by being consistent about the message.

A proper short squeeze will require either serious buying pressure or honest regulation.

But it’s up to each and every one of us as individuals to make a ruckus and make each day count.

Final Thoughts

franknez.com

Disagreeing with a fellow community member does not mean it should be the end of the world.

We must shift our focus towards squeezing shorts from their positions.

Because in the end, when a short squeeze happens, no one will argue the point in how it happened.

Stick to your convictions, respect one another, and enjoy the awesome and positive things about this rare retail community.

I’m in the middle of publishing some market news for you, stay tuned.

Citadel And Virtu Are Creating Massive Systemic Risk

Citadel and Virtue Systemic Risk

The system almost failed earlier this year due to the systemic risks in the hands of the two biggest market makers.

Citadel and Virtu CEO’s Ken Griffin and Douglas Cifu continue to argue that retail investors have never had it better.

Although the SEC has been observing for quite some time, they are finally looking into both of their business models.

But is that enough?

What can be done in order to avoid the collapse of an entire system?

The SEC has taken a stance against high frequency trading and is currently supporting the D-Limit order from IEX.

It’s time for retail investors to speak up and let our government leaders know our needs in the market.

Franknez.com

Welcome to Franknez.com – the blog that fights for retail investors and for a fair market. Today’s topic is extremely important so let’s dive right into it.

Let’s get started!

System of Checks and Balances

checks and balances

In the United States, the system of checks and balances provides each branch of government with individual powers to check the other branches and prevent one branch from becoming too powerful.

However, there seems to be a massive concentration of power between market makers Citadel and Virtu in the finance world.

These two market makers are responsible for processing majority of retail investor orders.

This creates massive systemic risks since there is so much power concentrated just within these two key players.

Should one or both fail, the entire system could collapse.

This almost happened in January during the ‘meme stock’ rallies.

Citadel claims they were the only market maker processing orders from Robinhood and this is a big problem.

There needs to be a separation of power.

It’s extremely important that retail investors voice their needs from government leaders regarding this matter.

PFOF Takes More Than It Gives

Citadel, Virtu, and Robinhood continue to stand by payment for order flow.

The issue with PFOF is that it takes more than it actually gives.

Market makers argue that it saves retail investors billions of dollars annually but fail to mention that they also make money from retail through high frequency trading.

In this documentary you will find Citadel makes their money shorting stock.

The Story of Citadel

Retail investors don’t want their orders processed by a company that is a market maker, hedge fund, and dark pool all at the same time.

Not only is Citadel profiting from retail money through high frequency trading, but they are also shorting the stock retail investors are buying through various means.

Dark pool trading and naked short selling are some other ways we’ve seen hedge funds suppress the rise of a stocks share price.

More so in ‘meme stocks’ such as GameStop and AMC, which are heavily shorted.

But there’s another issue that has yet to be addressed and that is OTC, or what’s also known as off-exchange trading.

The Rise of Off-Exchange Trading

Recession

Over-the-counter (OTC), or off-exchange trading is when trading occurs between two parties instead of through an exchange, such as the NYSE (New York Stock Exchange).

Market makers essentially negotiate with one another through dealer quotation services such as FINRA’s OTC Bulletin Board.

Yes, that is the same FINRA that is supposed to be protecting retail investors and safeguarding market integrity.

Off exchange trading is not as regulated as the NYSE nor does it require prices to be publicly disclosed.

Market makers can short a stock in these off exchange trading platforms and also create a ‘perfect hedge’, allowing them to offset or eliminate all risk on their position(s).

Retail investors go long on stocks.

So when market makers such as Citadel and Virtu are using tools to make money from shorting stocks, retail investors are at a massive disadvantage.

Market Makers Are a Threat to Our Economy

Market makers pose a serious risk to our economy and the businesses that provide massive value to our society.

As long as this concentration of power isn’t broken, the United States economy will always face systemic risk.

And when the entire country is economically on its knees, financial institutions who shorted on the way down will be the only ones compensated for it.

This is when integrity is buried by greed.

So what’s going to be done about it?

Our community now has a voice.

We must continue to fight against market corruption, and we must fight for a fair market.

Only then will we be able to mitigate systemic risk and make a positive impact in our economy.

Retail Investors Can Grow Our Economy

retail investors can grow our economy

With more people now learning about the markets more than ever, this could greatly benefit our economy.

Not only does the average person get to invest in the stock market, but we get to support the ideas and innovations of the companies in our country.

People don’t need to make a lot of money to invest.

But fair investing could improve the quality of life for millions of people.

The average person could provide more for their family, the government would collect capital gain taxes, and our businesses would excel much more rapidly.

Our government must look at solutions for economic prosperity and growth.

Market makers such as Citadel and Virtu suppress economic growth for their selfish gain.

They do not contribute to society.

This is why we’re seeing a power like China catch up to the United States with such an intense and exponential growth.

They’ve eliminated a lot of the issues in their markets that we have in ours today.

Institutional investors play a dominant role in the U.S markets, while Chinese markets are dominated by retail investors.

This, ladies and gentlemen is why there are now more wealthier Chinese than there are Americans.

Our government must look at market structure and identify what is going to spur growth in our nation.
