GameStop short squeeze

Could you provide details on that?
I only know Kreisschreiben Nr. 36 and it states when you aren’t a professional trader, but it also states even if you don’t fulfill every criteria they can still classify you as professional.
So for example here somebody had GME stocks for less than 6 month and made 130k profit. Professional or not?
I agree if I fulfill every criteria I can be sure I won’t be classified as a professional trader, but if I don’t fulfill every criteria I’m not able to tell.

Sorry but that’s not clearly laid out for me.
“Frequency of transactions” sounds subjective to me. Why not more than x transactions per year?

I’m not going to argue here and I admit I don’t know a lot about this classification. Please just tell me I’m wrong and its crystal clear that nobody of us poor mustachians is a professional trader. :slight_smile:
