$WEN a solid value company with 58% of the float shorted as a bonus
NKE Earnings are Today and this is how you'll make money on it.
$DBI has a most interesting consolidation printing this descending wedge pattern, breakout could be really interesting if the trend hold back to previous pocket.

ok but dang KSS volatility is nothing compared to DBI (Designer brands, another retailer, which is 30%). Or LE (Lands End)
I was gonna short DBI and UNFI but decided to just short DBI and did well
Blue are my top watches (not loving much today, honestly. LE, DBI, and AVO used to be tradable; however, spread on options prices and low interest in the names overall make them less viable now... https://preview.redd.it/in57yi5pw26h1.png?width=1013&format=png&auto=webp&s=bada4f4677617e778ef05f3daca178cb4be7abfd
$WEN with 58% of the float short. Looks like a coiled spring like DBI was this week where they had 55% of their float short. Bring the Tendy's! https://preview.redd.it/zff0wccc8s6g1.png?width=320&format=png&auto=webp&s=92ead2349246945171ba1bd7007087aba4b8c216
$WEN Tendys with 58% of float short we saw what happened with $DBI this week which was 55% of float short
$DBI and $IRBT. $DBI is shorted 55.73% and$IRBT is shorted 63.27% with 1.3 days to cover.
Is DBI a good play for calls with an 11% drop today?
anyone playing DBI today? or FCEL?
Change that mindset! You should look into at least DBI, LOVE, RBRK, CGNT, AVAV, CHWY, LAKE, ADBE, SAIL. You have at least one solid potential play a day, but plenty of plays this week! I don't play all of these all the time, but there's some good ones! https://preview.redd.it/94q310kd4ynf1.png?width=1912&format=png&auto=webp&s=1875330a069a649b1414e74d5b2fe85d76af2320
DBI is the next greatest short squeeze
Or DBI. Short interest is high.
$DBI in the retail sector should fly with the tariff news and a huge short position....might be some funds blow up today not expecting this news or have to rush to cover.
$DBI with over 100% of the float short according to Yahoo. Light volume so it could really pressure shorts if it hits a leg up
$DBI with over 100% of the float shorted
$DBI short interest over 100% of the float
$DBI large short interest over 128% of the float according to Yahoo. Low volume today. This one could go BOOM BOOM
$DBI starting to move, large short interest, and any roll back or pause in tariffs will help the stock price, could easily go up 25% on tariff news alone as that is what has pummeled it
$DBI chart looks like it wants to break out.
$DBI starting to see short squeeze momentum pick up
$DBI with the big short interest
$DBI consistently making money, they were buying back a ton of stock, tried to buy back a big chunk at $10, didn't get it in a dutch auction, now the stock sits just above $5, you have to think they would love to keep buying back all while cranking out cash. Massive short interest too, just the stock has been out of favor with the markets, but nothing fundamentally changes about their business or operations.
MTN Calls (Snow came early this szn, website traffic up) BRZE Calls (website traffic up 80% YTD) PLAY Calls (Insider buys, increased website traffic, increased autism rates) UNFI Calls (Whole Food's distributor) CGNT Calls (Insider buys) SFIX Puts (Clothing is trash, website traffic down, but beware there are $6M of inside buys) M Puts (M is middle class Kohls) VRA Puts (Vera Bradley, its not 2006 anymore) DBI Puts (DSW, Footlocker just tanked as per usual)
Nope DBI 86 percent short. AZI is shite.
It’s about creating culture with cult . This is a meme token calls DBI (don’t buy inu) and the main character is The Dev . He created bitcoin and dbi too.
$DBI good short squeeze candidate, company producing earnings and company buy back. It's going to get moving and really pressure the shorts one day like $AMC or $GME
Bad advice! https://youtu.be/DBI4TSbihrE?si=Skokn9tqEUxdmnuL
DBI big short interest and highly profitable company
DBI the pressure on shorts keeps building here, big short interest on a solid company making money
DBI - Massively shorted and company highly profitable, just received a big IRS payment for CARES Act reimbursement this quarter. Tried to buy back a ton of stock last year at $10 a share in modified dutch tender, but didn't get many shares. Company is stronger now, and would not be surprised if they try to reduce number of shares outstanding through another dutch tender or buybacks, pressuring the shorts
DBI The company could really kick off a squeeze by announcing a modified dutch tender, they did that last year and got very few shares, my guess is they might do it again
DBI - Large Short Squeeze Potential, plus company tried to buy back a good chunk with modified dutch tender, didn't get most of it, because stock went up, stock back down, they may pull that again and that would massively squeeze shorts, not to mention current profitability which should help company keep grinding up too
DBI The company could really kick off a squeeze by announcing a modified dutch tender, they did that last year and got very few shares, my guess is they might do it again
DBI generating cash and large short position
DBI massive short interst. Company attempted to buy back a lot of stock last year and didn't get that, because the price was up, my guess is they still want to repurchase. Just received a 47M windfall from the IRS of Cares Act money, they are in a solid position to repurchase and squeeze the shorts, not to mention the business is producing cash too
DBI slow steady burn to the upside as shorts get squeezed
Short interest is one driver. Fundamentals is another. Company is profitable and if you look at SCVL they are at their highs, where DBI has been low DBI also tried to buy back a ton of stock last year in a modified dutch tender at $10 a share, and didn't get that much, so the possibility they do another is probably elevated and I would imagine if they were happy paying 10 last year they'll be happy paying 10 again. Company also received 46 million in CARES ACT money this quarter, so their balance sheet keeps improving too. A couple large shareholders, so shorts can be squeezed hard and fast here.
DBI A lot of call volume just hit this morning in the 8 strike for this month. It keeps creeping up, and there's a lot of short interest that is probably starting to feel the pain or get burned.
DBI - Large Short Interest and now starting to creep up. Back to school should help them too.
$DBI Starting to squeeze, heavily shorted and good fundamentals. Back to school shoe buying should also help as that gets into full swing.
Looks to be a lot of call volume picking up on DBI today
DBI Owner of DSW Shoes, large short interest and profitable They also just received $47M in Cares Act money this quarter too. They've been buying back stock too
DBI, if SCVL can be near highs DBI should be too, plus massive short interest in DBI
DBI Heavily shorted. They just got 46M in Cares Act money in during the new quarter. They tried to buy back 100M of stock last, stock went up and they only got about 15M, I would speculate they are eager to repurchase shares especially since they are a lot lower than they tried to repurchase them at last year which was $10 per share. SCVL another heavily shorted stock in the same sector is near 52 week highs.
DBI the owner of DSW Shoes has a large short interest. If you look at insider holdings and institutional holdings, you can see where it can be problematic for the shorts should the stock take off Last year the company did exactly that, they announced a modified Dutch tender offering, and the stock rocketed up, then they had to increase their offer price. Unfortunately the they didn't get many shares because the stock remained above their offer price of $10 a share. It's likely they still want to retire shares and shares trade at $7.45 now. They also received $47 million in CARES Act reimbursements this new quarter, which could go a long way in helping their liquidity and their ability to repurchase shares.
DBI has a decent short interest. A lot of the float is held by mutual funds too and the Shottenstein family, so a squeeze could really take hold
Anyone buy DBI at close?
This company is just a spinoff of Xperi technologies, which was was a conglomerate of a bunch of acquisitions, including of TiVo. It seems like basically as a tax loophole, Xperi put ownership of all of its IP(e.g. here's the DBI tech mentioned in the Adeia 10-K [https://www.allaboutcircuits.com/news/moores-law-xperi-new-die-to-wafer-bonding-technology-ic-package/](https://www.allaboutcircuits.com/news/moores-law-xperi-new-die-to-wafer-bonding-technology-ic-package/)) under Adeia and split into two companies. It basically lets them return capital to shareholders without them paying taxes on it as a dividend or distribution. Adeia consists of 130 employees total, so I highly doubt they have enough people to actually be performing any sort of R&D on semiconductors. A large part of their revenue appears to come from patents for internet based television outside of the US, which probably originally came from their merger with TiVo. IMO stay away
They have a lot. It’s a meme token dude. Called DBI (don’t buy inu) funniest videos I ever saw lol they made videos with a lot of Crypto people like CEO of kraken, CZ from Binance and so on. There Telegram group and community are based af too.
Yeah it’s DBI - Don’t buy Inu xD
What is DBI? Is that his coin or what?
Probably 2000000 DBI? Idk
@heyitsmethedev on X he made BTC and DBI.
Last bull run? $DBI was built in the bear and had an original pump to 20m mc early. This next top will dwarf that. He has been pumping out content this whole time. @heyitsmethedev on X his connections are incredible he’s the godfather of crypto. Literally!
Geniuses at work. Long live DBI

So these guys are only making this content to promote their token Don't Buy Inu (DBI). Is it allowed to promote pump and dump schemes on wallstreetbets?
Cost basis on DBI only available, rumours are he is still buying
This is The Dev! He created Bitcoin and DBI.
Beanshooter knows- DBI to the sky
Damn there is even a token calls DBI (Don’t buy Inu) and I saw on twitter a video together with CZ. Wtf is going on ?  bullish
Holy shit never expected to see $DBI in this subreddit
DBI team has released hours and hours of content since October 2022. Best meme coin ever!
yeah it happens man. they probably take MetaMask by now USDT or DBI (Don’t buy Inu). it’s like asking a Dog to stop jumping your leg. They are just horny and the girls need the cash or crypto
you will on DBI with metamask. watch the Dev on Youtube
$DBI %25 stock buyback $horts %15 before the buybacks 
Question for the accountants here Arn't Valuation allowances on change on deferred tax assets always pretty bearish? In the case of DBI it takes its Q4 EPS from 0.66 to 0.07..

The Debt Bomb Implosion. “DBI” for short.
So DBI and DG are down bigly? So people that have money ain't spending monies and the poors that don't have money aren't spending money? Anglopoors now chasing Europoors.
You and I discussed retail the other day. BIG, DBI, GIII all missed big today while FIVE and PVH both beat. Retail is certainly a mixed landscape.
On your list $HPE is a stock I've been watching 4ever and haven't bought back into yet. $DBI looks interesting and seems similar to my bullish stance on $LEVI. Quality brands will outperform. I added that to my watch list.
DBI calls for earnings?
Thinking of call on DBI, thoughts?
Not sure if I would buy QCOM at this price . The P/FCF is high . Good PE + PEG. But in terms of value . I have a spreadsheet with 136 companies mentioned on r/stocks posts . QCOM is number 85 on that list. At the top are DELL + HPQ + M + ASO + INTC + CPNG + DBI + TPR
I’d definitely just sell it. I’m looking at the retailing segment right now and there are tons of good undervalued stocks you could get instead like JWN, DBI, GPS.
nope. just got in yesterday after selling my DBI gains.
You guys see Designer Brands $DBI Pop today on earnings beat... thats gonna be $CURV... load up on calls, premiums aren't too bad.
Designer Brands Inc (DBI) are also reporting this week - they were hammered last covid round as the stores closed. Other clothing brands have dropped on ER in the past few weeks (LE, AEO, etc) Sentiment could be similar. I have puts on this.
TECHNOLOGY The satellites will be called BlueBirds orbiting at an altitude of 700 km (430 miles), each with an aperture size of about 18x20 meters or 331 square meters (693 sqft) weighing 1.5 to 2 US tons. Each production satellite will be identical and consist of a central bus/control module, magnetorquers (adjust pitch/yaw), Hall-effect thrusters (ionized plasma thruster), and many sets of phased array cells called microns. The microns are similar to the antennas you see attached to cell towers except they are designed for the rigors of space and have solar cells affixed to the back. In order to fit the BlueBirds into a rocket the microns are folded carefully around the control module and will unfold using spring hinges like flower petals unfurling. SpaceX and GK Launch will be the 2 primary launch providers, both with excellent records. Total constellation will be 336 satellites by 2028 with a surface area of 111,000 square meters or 1.2 million square feet (for comparison Starlink only plans 71,000 square meters). Although the satellite will be very large, it is only a few centimeters thick flying perpendicular to Earth making the risk of collision to its cross section minimal. The BlueBirds utilize what is called bent pipe architecture to convert fronthaul (cellular data) back and forth with backhaul (high bandwidth network connection). Bent pipe architecture allows the received signal to be phase shifted in real time by a transponder and amplified before being beamed back. Backhaul to base stations will be handled through the high capacity V and Q band frequencies. The satellites computers do not handle the network routing/processing that MNOs already handle, think of a cell tower in space. The only computing the satellite will do (other than flight operations) is establishing and maintaining a signal which each user. Each MNO would have one or more receiving antenna in each country at its network gateway to manage the routing of packets and protocol compliance on its own network. Many people struggle to get coverage a few miles from a cell tower, so how does the signal travel over 700 km without losing connection or delays. A very tall FR1 mobile base station tower can provide a connection of around 50-70 km with a perfect line of sight and no attenuation due to obstructions (buildings, hills, trees, walls, etc.) before signal is lost due to the curvature of the earth (GSM protocol reduces this to 35 km). An electromagnetic wave can travel quite far in space (think Voyager 1) unobstructed, so a satellite overhead has the perfect vantage point to you at all times (except middle of skyscrapers, some basements, and tunnels). For a satellite to connect to a cell phone is simply a question of power and gain. A cell phone is .25 W of power and .5 DBI of gain, which isn’t much. To be able to send a signal that can be detected you need a very powerful antenna (20 kW) and a very large array. Think of trying to talk to someone .4 km (¼ mile) away, you would need a very loud voice for them to hear you and very large ears to hear them. Peak gain mentioned in the FCC letters references -47 DBi (-50 DBi is full bars and -110 DBi is no connection) so the signal strength should be quite strong. Since the satellites are orbiting at 700 km there will be a signal delay (latency) of 30ms which is within the 5G 3GPP standards and would not be detectable to a user playing mobile games. Additionally, 5G speeds will be in excess of 35 mb/s (meets FCC definition that Spacemobile helped define). Each satellite will be able to support a technology known as beamforming which uses the microns to concentrate and steer a signal. If you think of an RF signal from isotopic antenna transmitting signal in all directions like a light bulb, then beamforming is akin to a flashlight focusing the same light in a narrow beam to project further and brighter. As more antenna are added to a phased array the more focused beams can become and more beams can be created. Beamforming allows the array to reuse spectrum by pointing the same spectrum at different parts of the coverage area. Each BlueBird can support about 2,800 beams/coverage cells in low band and 10,000 in mid band (300-10,000 users per cell) providing 1.6 million gigabytes per month per satellite. Within each cell multiple frequencies can be sent and received simultaneously using MIMO. Coverage area for each satellite is about 2.4 million square miles. Within each cell spectrum is divided into buffer ranges of about 5-10 kHz which can be further recycled based on channel state information, adjusting the time phase, and polarity of the wave. Time Division duplex allows for uplink/downlink reciprocity (allows a phone to be heard at the same DBi it receives).The satellite applies linear receive combining to discriminate the signal transmitted by each terminal from interfering signals. Because the satellites are in space moving at a high speed (90 minute orbit) a Doppler effect is created which compresses or stretches the frequencies. Spacemobile has patented a way to compensate and correct these shifts and track the users movement down to the centimeter level. This means you can use your phone on a plane or in a car without issue. Without going too deep into it, the reason MNOs use spectrum primarily between 600 MHz - 900 MHz, 1.7 GHz - 2.2 GHz and 3.5 GHz is because it offers the best combination of data capacity, licensing availability, and object penetration. Spacemobile is capable of operating within all of these ranges. 1 MHz is 1,000,000 cycles per second and each cycle can be used to transmit bits of data, so higher MHz means more data. But there is a trade off the higher you go on the EM spectrum the more issues the signal has with penetrating matter starting with solid objects like buildings, then with liquids (think rain fade with your satellite TV), gases such as air, and background radio signals. This is why Starlink requires a phased array receiver because it is operating on the KU (12,000 - 18,000 MHz) and KA (26,500 - 40,000) bands and has issues with rain fade. The Starlink receivers require a large size and power to pick up these signals. The size and power requirements of using these frequencies at range are the reason they can’t be used with smartphones. Additionally Spacemobile is using Alitostar’s (recently acquired by Rakuten who is an investor and customer) O-Ran (open RAN) software to help virtualize each handset for the purposes of network handoffs, managing latency protocol, and overcoming the Doppler effect. The technology was tested and validated using BlueWalker 1 which was a test satellite personally financed at $7.5 million by CEO Abel Avellan. This satellite was essentially a smartphone that was used to validate the principle of using 4G LTE protocol, sending/receiving cell signals from space, and resolving technical issues prior to BlueWalker 3 (the final prototype before mass production). This was a brilliant move by Abel. Instead of building a satellite and hoping it works, he was able to cost effectively test and refine his designs in real time on earth. BlueWalker 1 is still in orbit today presumably being used for testing.
Anyone else on this DBI train?
Do you know anything about their business? YES- in the long term NKE is a winner, no doubt. In the short term there is considerable pain ahead. For example they manufacture a lot of production in Vietnam, and a principal manufacturing area has been under lockdown. They're way behind in their shipping/fulfillment and have had to cancel/revise future season deliveries due to these issues. It can very well get worse. Moreover they've been moving hard away from retailers, opting instead to go D2C, read about DBI pullout (which was 15% of DBI business). Anyway, a lot of changes that may not materialize into any short term gains. Long run, probably it will work for them. Anyway that's just one thought on their business, but there are many, many things to think about.
