Ok, so, let's quickly get some glossary terms out of the way:
Normal Trading Hours and Extended Trading Hours (aka After Hours, Pre-Market, Post-Market, etc.) for GME (which natively trades on the New York Stock Exchange) are as follows:

Extended trading is conducted by electronic networks either before or after the regular trading hours of the listing exchange, such as the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). The U.S. stock exchanges are open from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. EST. (Per U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. "Investor Bulletin: After-Hours Trading.")
Pre-market stock trading in the United States commonly runs between 4:00 a.m. and 9:30 a.m. EST and after-hours trading occurs from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. EST.

I'll give you one more quick note to set the stage. According to the SEC's own alert bulletin about After-Hours Trading. There are several points the SEC makes, but the last one is pertinent to this discussion:

Competition with Professional Traders. Investors should note that many of the extended-hours traders are professional traders who, by nature of their profession, generally have access to more information than individual investors.

Ok, so, what I understand from this is that this is where the "big boy" professional trades come in, and the small individual household investors are not really present due to brokerage limitations.

ok ok ok
So take a look at the GME chart for May.
<5min time frame> $GME from May 1st through today.
Notice all the giant gaps in the candles? That's because the above chart does not have "Extended Trading Hours" displayed. One other IMPORTANT thing to note - the "High" on this above chart is only $64.83.
Here's what it looks like with the Extended Trading Hours displayed:
I could only fit the last 3 weeks, but it's just fine for the purpose. I have my Night hours tinted \"red\" and Morning hours are \"blue\" tinted.
Wow, there's a lot more going on here, during these Extended Hours - and notably the "High" on this Extended Hours chart is WAY higher, and precisely $80.0000 (here's a discussion on that strangely precise number btw).
So I got to thinking, I wonder what the price action would look like with ONLY regular hours, or ONLY extended hours? After all, there are some good articles about all the gains in the stock market taking place when the plebs go home.

• Study Finds Best Stock Gains Are Made Overnight - PlanAdvisor
• The Stock Market Works by Day, but It Loves the Night - New York Times
• Since 1993 the S&P is up 600% in after hours trading and completely flat during regular trading. - Our very own SuperStonk

Now for GME, for May, I can use the Bars Pattern tool in TradingView to copy some candles and move and stretch them to effectively ignore either part of the day I want. Since the "retail meme daytrader" is typically accessing regular hours, what would the chart look like if we took ONLY the regular hours candles and stretched them to cover all the hours. If there is price action in Extended Hours, we're going to ignore that, and therefore I will start each morning at precisely where the price was at the Closing Bell:
Simulated candles in RED. Whaddya know? If only the regular 'ol apes are to blame, well jeez, $GME's price would be in the shitter.
Hilariously, if there were no trades taking place in Extended Hours, apparently there would be so much selling that the price would actually be NEGATIVE $4. 🤣🤡
It's so weird, because I'm told by the common media that this huge RUN-UP is all because of DFV, all because of retail.
So what if we ignored all the regular hours trading - and ONLY showed Extended Hours Trading, when the brokerages and banks are supposed to be closed...
Citadel HQ, btw
...and the army of retail meme traders can't access the markets? What would the chart look like then?
Simulated Candles in BLUE.
So this is interesting. Look how much higher the price action gets and stays, when taking into account ONLY the Extended Hours Trading.
The media can suck it.
Here's both versions on one picture:
Blue = Extended Hours Trading ONLY, RED = Regular Hours Trading ONLY
We talk a lot about Lit Markets and Dark Pools, and we talk a lot about how Sell orders (including shorts) are routed during Regular Hours in order to put downward pressure on the price. We hear a lot about how institutional trades, block trades, and potential margin calls and/or short closing taking place in after hours when possible. We speculate about how it affects the price. I can't say what it really would be if GME traded on a true fair exchange, fully lit, with no naked shorting, no cellar boxing, etc., but I can show you these simple photos, and the story doesn't seem right to me.
There is a $43.12 difference between the Blue and Red lines in the image below, which is meaningless to really get into because the red line goes into negative price... for a company that now has $2 BILLION in cash on hand.
I'm gonna go eat some more candles.

I'm about to graduate from university and I don't know what I'm going to do after that. I'm not sure if my major suits me and when I think about it, I can't think of any field I'd like to work in. It's not that I don't want to work or anything. I'm basically lost at this point.

Mu ex and I broke up years ago but had friendly relationship until about 10 months ago. I really miss him and I hope that we will at least be friends again. I just want to know if we’re over for good this time

Always love finding cleaners though 😂

Cloudy pool that won’t clear.
New house and first time pool owner. I’ve been trying to get my salt water pool clear for over a week now. Everytime I go to the pool store, they sell me something else. It’s a salt water pool. All the chemicals measure OK. I added sparkle clarifier yesterday and again today. I’m out of ideas. Possible filter issue? I see lots of floaters in the water. Pool store says it’s just blowing in and only on the surface. I have a Haywood sand filter.
