This post is an unedited reproduction of 2 posts made by user u/ayyyybro on Reddit relating to the memestock battle between the Apes and the Hedgies. Apes Army takes absolutely no credit whatsoever for this information. NB: This is not financial advice. DYOR
This is all the FUD the hedgies and their mainstream media shills have been chucking at us throughout 2021
Apes have been through a lot these last few months. There is no end to hedge fuckery.
Below is a list of notable times they tried to FUD Apes out of their positions.
When it comes time to hold past 1K, 10K, 100K, 1M.
Remember this list.

Fake Stock Pumps:
Melvin Capital
- January: Closes out of short position
- February: Posts return of more than 20%
- March: Loses 7%
- April: Extends Q1 Losses to 49%
- This could actually be MSM FUD for a fake squeeze
- Melvin Portfolio DD – Including this here because there is some good data behind their losses.
- Edit: We’re seeing a lot of narratives around a fake squeeze due to the Melvin postings and a lot of warnings about the fake squeeze being FUD. Fake squeeze or not, $1K is nothing and the strategy remains the same. Hold.
- MarketWatch shifting blame to Apes
- This could actually be MSM FUD for a fake squeeze
I****nvestor’s Business Daily
All the FUD April
April 16th Hype – We know better by now than to pin our hopes on specific dates. A large portion of the FUD on this list was spread around target dates (Earnings, and March 19th for example)
Gamestop falls toward 6th straight decline
ACM Analyst – Gamestop will fade as digital downloads take over. New price target: $10
3 Robinhood Stocks with Most Projected Downside – Go ahead and guess
4/13
Organized protests? – As always, be wary of anyone trying to organize us as a group. We just like the stock.
4/14
We are not terrorists, we do not make threats – New FUDers are trying to organize Apes and push violent narratives. Report anyone that does this.
YouTube Live Streamers – Great writeup here. Take each streamer with a grain of salt.
4/15
We’re creating our own FUD – Stay sharp, and don’t get sloppy! Stick to real DD grounded in solid data!
Award Comments as Intimidation
4/16
4/19
Shills saying DFV and Cohen are communicating
4/20
The sub is a bit chaotic. Shill are out in full force. You know their tactics. You know the DD. If you need to, step away and come back.
New floor is… $5K? – Think about this. If $5k is the floor they want you to sell at, how high is the real floor?
4/21
Motley Fool no longer wants you to forget Gamestop
4/25
4/30
Trying to organize Apes behind hashtags
All the FUD May
5/3
Switch brokerages to… Robinhood?!
5/10
Mayo? – Refer back to the Cointelpro forum sliding techniques. Shills are adapting the situation just as we are. Whatever starts to gain traction, it appears the shills ride the wave and add as much as they can to it in order to drown out the useful info.
Stay alert. We are not done yet.
5/15
5/17
Not sure what to make of this, but the whole thing stinks.
5/19-20
Melvin Closed out of short positions… again
5/23
Influx of XXXX holder posts – Careful of anything that attempts to divide apes. The top comment is a good breakdown of how FUD is being adapted.
5/27
STAY READY. A few green days doesn’t mean anything. Expect a wave of BS to hit. The good news is we have their entire playbook going back to January.
Check out u/c-digs DD on what’s likely going on with the price action here
Regardless of what happens with AMC – Nothing changes with GME. If they go up, great, and now shorts are fighting on two fronts, but nothing changes with GME.
Buy. Hold. Vote.
All the FUD June
6/1
- Pinning the price action on Apes – This is not a coordinated effort to pump GME up. We all know that by now. Stay prepared for more articles like this one.
- Pinning the price action on DFV
6/4
- “Short Sellers have lost X amount” – Nothing is a loss until the shorts cover
- On 6/9 and the Annual Shareholder Meeting – 6/9 being the date and 6/9 not being the date can both be seen as FUD. In the end, no date really matters, we know what cards we hold and the MOASS will happen when it happens. Hype is fun, but so was Quadruple Witching (3/19), and Earnings (3/23). Manage your expectations. Buy. Hold. Vote.
- Citadel wants to SUE (Or just another HF who knows) – LOL
A quick warning on WSB. We may have strict posting requirements around gain porn here in r/superstonk, but other subs do not. Prepare yourself to see all kinds of posts of people that sold early on those subs.
The first battle for the HFs is to prevent the MOASS, the next will be to get you to sell early when the MOASS starts. Every single dirty trick on this list can and will be used again once the MOASS starts, and I would expect it to be spread to every single GME related sub.
6/7
- Naked Shorting – It’S iMpOsSiBlE
- “Blame on all sides…” – Melissa Lee.
Uh huh. People don’t forget. Even when you backpedal.
6/9
Lots of forum sliding going on with the shareholder meeting today. Take everything with a grain of salt.
Looks like the play is to spread FUD around the mods – Constructive criticism is ok, just be on the lookout for users posting extremes and being overly aggressive.
6/10
- Gamestop shares are dropping after the game seller said it’s being investigated by the SEC
- Gamestop Lower After Quarterly Loss, Share Sale Plans; SEC Probe Lingers
- Meme stocks stumble after Gamestop discloses SEC probe into the frenzy
6/14
- The Hedgies are Scambling – Post has since been edited to be deleted. Based on the post calling it out here, it seems that shills are trying to spread FUD under the guise of “DD” or organize a group buying effort to pin market manipulation on Apes.
6/15
- “Enlisting an army” and “#AMCDAY” – More tactics by the MSM to portray Apes as an organized group that is manipulating the market.
- Big runups by “Meme stocks” could be a recipe for disaster – Unlike the abusive naked shorting going on with said stocks right? Please.
- FUD surrounding DTC-2021-005
6/16
- “GameStop. Dogecoin. Now AMC. Do meme traders need to be protected from themselves?”
- AMC/GME Crash Looking more likely now – Thanks for the heads up on the upcoming discount MW.
6/21
I almost forgot the most important FUD: The EARLY SELL
- Another example
- Selling on dips to protect gains – $120 is a discount
As we get closer to the MOASS, they will try DESPERATELY to hype a low price point like $1,000 to scare you into paper handing.
All the FUD July
7/1
- Which stock to own in 2021?
- Young adults and YOLO trading
- Shorting the RH IPO? – How did we all get here again?

- New copypasta showing up on Twitter – Running out of creativity huh?
- You could lose EVERYTHING – “I think that the challenge with things like the meme stocks is yeah, if you time it right, you’re going to do great,”
- “On the other hand, you could lose everything.” – Boy thanks for that groundbreaking Double Down
- GameStop NFT Team running a scam

Overwhelming list huh? Be sure to check out the Apes Guide to Counter-FUD
Don’t ever forget how hard they tried to get you to move on.
Think of how much they have spent trying to get you to sell. How much do the paid shills alone cost in total? How much is that worth to you?
“Great moments are born from great opportunity.”
They have the deep pockets.
They have the technology.
They have the experts.
They have the experience.
They have the resources.
And they’re still fucked.
9 out of 10 times, Wall Street wins. But not this time.
