looking back at the volume and price chart now. 

gapped from 20 to 30 on january 12th and volume jumped.  ramped steadily towards 40 on friday, and on monday jan 25 the ultramadness really kicked off. 

 

is it not possible this timeline:

1.  they got really spooked on the 12th , and started discreetly buying back to cover. 

2.  towards friday things were heating up and pricing, public sentiment, went rapidly up, they continued covering.

3.  they probably realized , after having written off the loss of the original short, that there is a huge exploit to be made here...by stoking a short squeeze!

4.  farm out groundroots support ("fuck those hedge guys!"), get them to buy in a frenzy, and open new short positions at  300, 350, 500, etc.  [daddy Cohen and Griffin is bankrolling you after all]

5.  play out the fear scenario, drive the stock to 200.  you've just netted $300 (500-200) per short. 

6.  retail resist and think #5 was orchestrated (it was)... sell them the top again, and collect at the bottom

 

 

okay i guess im going full-on Pepe Silvia at that point, and the SI chart tracked over #1-2-3-4 should be able to disprove this easily

no.  the escalation was caused by options market makers having to cover their gamma.  unless you're saying part of the plan was to buy loads of calls to force that gamma play.  it's possible but improbable as the amount of capital committed vs probability of the trade materializing in that time frame would have made for a really bad risk/reward trade.  and you just didn't see the volume rolling over from one week to the next you would expect to see.  i will say someone last friday was extremely interested in keeping the price right at the $65 level which incidentally had a huge # of options.

if you're talking about the cohen/griffin capital it was to meet margin calls above $100.

for sure, the risk/reward is outlandish to go double up on the original tenuous position at this price level.  this answer is 99.95% likelihood scenario.

Why are people hot on AMC besides meme hype? It's not super shorted like GME right? Right?!?!

I literally forgot why after dropping almost 1k into it. Ride or Die..... but I want to know why 🤣

If AMC get's a bump tomorrow I'm likely to sell it and have that cash handy to continue the GME insanity. 

 

How do we know those GME shorts are coming due and not already sold then repurposed like @52-80 hypothesized?

I don't remember the number last I saw but AMC had high SI% - but not that extreme. 

Theres a combination of short squeeze attacks following the lead of GME; their shorters covering to get out ahead of time; tendency for memesphere to pile on low-priced companies with name-recognition (like Hertz last summer)

 

But the reason you shouldnt fuck around with AMC is they might issue new shares soon and put the needle through the balloon

The only thing for certain, some serious people were going to lose a shitload of money in the last week. There is zero explanation for all the fuckery and disinformation beyond this. This is a wakeup to rethink the game for Wallstreet. They will get rid of retail imo. They don't want this sort of thing to ever happen again. Now that the masses know how easy it is to break the system, they will not relent until it either happens or more likely, is stopped by new rules.

meme hype.  This is #stonks, not investing.  I trust that the retards will focus on AMC next, or simultaneously.  AMC getting shut out today with GME probably works in its favor.  

 

And at this point, I'm so pissed at Wall St, I want to help make a point.

I dunno, maybe they should reign in the hedge funds and their short selling?  Maybe they should have to suffer the consequences for stupid ass trades?  Maybe everyone should play by the same rules instead of one group getting cut off while the other can continue to trade?  At this point it's not really about GME anymore, although fortunes are going to be made and lost tomorrow.

Right, totally get that. I haven't invested a penny in years. Still haven't. This is gambling trying to take down the house with a zombie mob and possibly a better hand dealt than we'll ever see again. The time is now.

 

GME has an actual underlying fundamental stock position vs valuation / risk / opportunity thing going on. Ride this fucker to the moon.

AMC just has name recognition and twitter hashtags as far as I know. That's enough, twitter crowd source funding can clearly move the needle. I'm in it just not to the moon lol.

it's going to come out funds and firms got margin called over this leading to them liquidating their positions.  look at all of the names that had an accompanying move.  GME, FIZZ, DDS, M, LGND, AMCX, SPWR, AXDX, SRG, MAC, SKT, AXDX.  every single one of the top 10 % of float shorted russell 3,000 stocks.  look at how the charts correspond almost perfectly by time and movement.

correct, AMCX is one of the top 10 R3000.  i listed those as examples of the breadth of the short covering-  along with those 10 names there were probably a dozen, maybe two dozen, other names (along with AMC) that went parabolic at the same time of the trading day (as in they started going up and peaked around the same time) and many of them continued to follow each other over the course of a couple days.  one big move starting at the same time and peaking at the same time is usually a sign of a portfolio being closed.  this many moves of this magnitude of price range and share size is indicative of a trading firm or hedge fund being blown up and liquidating.

Treat me like I'm econ 050 not even 101. So AMC (or this aggregate of companies, I'm in on the grouping explanation) got liquidated (sold right?) at the same time as some other stocks? Stocks would drop.... so that's not it.

The redditers are thinking there's going to be a need for lots of shares to be bought tomorrow due to options expiring at the close. Mainly in GME but also for these other names who have been in play.

I'm absolutely convinced that BlackRock just gobbled up a couple hedge funds. They had some 9 figure positions in companies that were being heavily shorted by those funds and I have no doubt that they waited until the funds were overextended and then lit the match. Retail doesn't have the volume or the liquidity to send that many companies parabolic. AMC had over a billion in volume on Wednesday while GME and other stocks were cranking out hundreds of millions in volume. Retail can't do that. Additionally, $91 billion was wiped off of short books this month, per CNBC. That is $11 billion more than what Citigroup, JPMorgan Chase, and Bank of America were going to pool together to stave off the damage created by the subprime mortgage fiasco in 2008. If $91 billion actually left Wall Street and into the hands of retailers, we'd already be seeing more than just the brokers freezing up the buying of shares. It would be absolute calamity. I think the bulk of that $91 billion when to BlackRock and any pilot fish funds that caught on and positioned themselves to pick up the crumbs. The money is still on Wall Street, and therefore, funneling back into the big banks.

If RH halted GME and AMC because of cash problems, how does that explain why Merrill also halted new buys?

every CEO that halted trading should be called out, under oath, to explain. Was Merrill or another part of BoA heavy with GME shorts and needed to unwind their positions?

all trades everywhere route through clearinghouses and DTCC.  (matt levine wrote a very nice column about the full actual deep mechanics of a person buying a stock)

there are settlement contracts in place for this facilitation, and more or less, the lopsided trading was incurring high structural costs to one or more of these parties.

so either the brokers didnt want to incur the cost, or couldnt afford it.  thats why the more "reputable" brokerages like vanguard and others allowed the full trade.

 

even if it wasnt some nefarious collusion of people on the wrong side of the GME trade, this will still stain on companies like merrill.  and maybe the above will be a part of the regulatory cleanup as a consequence of this ordeal.

new short shares were and still are widely available and for relatively cheap.  friday they were 15c/sh.  mon and wed they were $1.35 / sh.  tue they were 95c/sh.  today they're 82c/sh.  there are LOTS of new shorts, which is good if you're looking for a short squeeze.

Citron Research Will Stop Publishing Short-Seller Reports

BY Dow Jones & Company, Inc.
— 9:56 AM ET 01/29/2021
 

A famed short seller is calling it quits.

Andrew Left, founder of Citron Research, on Friday said his firm will no longer be publishing short-seller reports, on the heels of backlash to his recent public skepticism about shares of GameStop Corp. (GME) Instead, the firm will pivot to providing insight into companies the firm thinks investors should buy, Mr. Left said.
