Why are people still believing in GME moass and why is there a sub actively hating on GME investors?
Mentions
GME 18.5c Fri JOBY 8c Fri idfk
Serious question, are the GME holders still waiting for a MOASS? I'm not even trying to be sarcastic.
"Get back in the game." Bruh, did you see what happened to GME after you got lucky and caught the greatest short squeeze in the history of humanity?
Future "blew it all" post saying they understand the market after a GME pump based on nothing. I understand the market and strategies...says everyone on Reddit
im in the same boat went from 6k to 24k~ in 2020 GME run stopped trading for 6 years now i'm slowly getting back
GME spent more than half of it’s cash on EBAY shares EBAY is now under their average *Sensible chuckle*
Take me back to pre-GME WSB. You apes are lost.
More like what did this sub do to itself after GME.
Mods need to stop surpressing $HTZ and embrace it. This is the new $GME
For real. This sub has become unhinged with the '98$ to 479,000 in TWO WEEKS!' Bullshit. I've traded, and watched traders for years. This is nonsense. If you've been on this sub for a while you know full well people like this never sell, and go broke 3 bangers in. We never saw bullshit like this before AI and GME because things used to be real around here.
You missed $GME last time, don’t miss $HTZ
Missed GME. I’m all in on HTZ
Trust in the GME 🚀 Bouncing off its support and half cash half stock Yes thats all i got
HTZ tards talking about it like it's next GME, meanwhile it trades in same price range every single day
$GME. If you remember the last time Roaring Kitty had a livestream and he drew a line on the chart? We are under his line, just a matter of time before he memes again.
Tell that to the blokes bagholding GME 😂
Is GME the most illiquid stock on the market or is it NIO
Everyone and their mother knew about the GME drop. We are only referring to being right when going against the grain. Otherwise I’m a market savant calling VOO to go up in the long term.
I got banned from Reddit by a super mod years ago for making fun of GME bagholders
So they tanking NIO and GME to zero or what
GME alike? https://preview.redd.it/q6u1sbr03yih1.png?width=1080&format=png&auto=webp&s=f73a308a4a4e919e82238f90f882340af96abdef
Ge was right with dropping GME. After he sold it dropped 40% lmao
How far we’ve come since BBBB and GME
You realize that affected more than people who were trying to participate in GME and AMC, right? It doesn’t sound like you do. They blocked all trades at that time. I couldn’t even sell a random stock I had, hence why they ended up sending me compensation. What they did was illegal and an a coordinated effort to protect billionaires over consumers.
NBIS is the new GME xD
I feel bad for you and the GME idiots
Was on here during the days of GME & AMC, What happened to you guys?
If the pokeman business is that lucrative, maybe we better of buying GME stock
Don’t listen to the haters, even if they are likely right. I’ve been holding since 1.55 before earnings and I am loving the ride. Could sell any time, almost did when it peaked 2.70 today. But a little voice inside me said nah, this is THEE GME 2.0 the world needs. I don’t think your date is going to make the cut but I hope it does for you! I do believe this stock is going to 5-6 realistically because based on napkin math, that’s what it’s worth. 8 ain’t too much higher then that if a true squeeze goes into effect. I dig the cahones, brother 🍺
why do people think shorts are going to cover in HTZ like an explosive GME situation? They don’t do that anymore, now they join you with calls to negate their shorts and then use dark pool volume to drill it into the ground when retail run out of liquidity lol
Yes, exactly. His entire compensation when it comes to GME is his personal equity. Hence why he would want to create a solid price floor before he cashes out any stock.
Great, please go ahead and short Space X. The short interest at 95% of float is not nearly big enough, we need GME level of delusion if we are to make any serious money. Dude, just go ahead and look up some physics, chip specs, and cost of terrestrial builds vs orbital delivery cost. You would find some ridiculous surprises
It happened to GME... lets hope for Hertz 
we still buying GME? Im outta tendies
Whole market dump and HTZ is absolutely slaying the shorts. GME 2.0??? :shrek:
ASTS ratfucking investors again. The only management as hostile as GME.
So? Still a long way from 15, and GME was cheaper than $HtZ before the rally started so it could be higher, but definitely not lower, my main squeeze target is 15 and my most outlandish 100. So that’s why 50 feels believable, I know im
HTZ issues statement about adding more shares...dillution the GME play
But guys I can’t buy HTZ I’m too busy doubling down on RKLB and GME! LMAO :kek: :pointlaugh: :rich:
the post and the title are very confusing, but OP is talking about GME.
I see what you're saying OP. I looked through the numbers on GME website. They have $5.8B in asset minus liability. Only $8.5 market cap. and decent Ebitda. They have a $2B buyback program as well. It's interesting that in their last quarter they had 40% of the revenue from collectibles (cards, toys and what not). I didn't know it's such a large business for them. It's been years since I own the OG stonk; maybe it's time to get back.
Bruh where have you been? Were you got around when they rug pulled BYND, GME, AMC, and too many others to name? Now you're just a long term bag holder until it pumps again or just take a loss if it's small. Nobody cares about HTZ anymore, it's old news
my port drop around 2% today (SKHY and GME). thank you for your attention to this matter
How many of those guys that hit big on GME ended up holding too long and watched their port go from $3mil to $17?
People who are still holding onto MU now is like people who still hold onto GME hoping for a GME2.0 comeback. it's not gonna happen
Yeah options can be tricky… One time I bought GME calls and then sold some calls as well at different strikes. Then in AH it ran from $20 to $60 (this was after the initial squeeze) and I couldn’t sell the calls nor sell my stocks as I sold calls on them. Learned from that lesson and only hold options intra day or leaps.
I feel deceived, nintendo and there is GME in the picture.
Thank God I didnt buy in. Ever since GME and AMC, short squeezes arent as good anymore
I agree there are much better companies to buy, but i do think there is a rationale case for GME as well. GME did have ~230 million in operational profit 2025, and 135 million of that came from q4 which is typically their best. Q1 2026 was 143 million in operating income. Im not 100% sure that doesnt include the Ebay gains, but AI tells me it doesn't. Power packs were fully released near the end of Q1. It could be an insane year where they make profits from operations that are 10%+ of their ~5.5B enterprise value. TLDR buy tech stocks/mag7 instead
no way you’re still holding this bag after all this time, that’s some dedication right there the cash pile argument been floating around for years but having 8 billion dont mean much if the core business still bleeding, the pokemon card pivot sounds like a stretch honestly but i guess collectibles is where the hype is now the -235 return on 22k is actually not that bad considering how crazy GME has been, most people i know got wrecked way harder playing with meme stocks you really think it can double by end of year with just the collectibles angle or is there something else cooking
So they just gonna pin nio and GME to these prices forever
Going all in on Nintendo I can understand but GME? That’s just tossing money to a massive bonfire!
GME is that wet fart that itches when it dries
People still talk about GME? I thought that shit was dead and gone years ago. There’s no real profit in that shit. Especially in options. Even if gme goes up 2-3% that could give you only 20-50% in options gain. But you’d have to sell it faster than the others, cause that shit would drop fast even if it stays up 2-3%
Dude helt 1000 shares of GME...true degenerate
Anyone bullish on GME?
Calls on GME, puts Apple see yall in 12 hours :pepetrump:
HTZ is the new GME. To the f-ing moon, go go go
Somehow thats performing even worse than GME at -75% in 5 years LOL
100% ported Hertz this is true retardation... There's a reason for that 90% short interest lol Unless y'all wanna GME this bitch and fuck the shorts
Can we ban this shit, gonna turn into a GME or BYND sub
Gas suuuuucks I only got the batteries because I made a killing omyeras back on GME My state and federal tax incentives were nice too I’ve had my Tesla for five years and 103,000 miles I save at least $2000 a year not getting gas, 350 a year not getting oil change If I was in a regular gas car, I would likely be on my third set of brakes and rotors, but at this time I have 85% life life I think I have $800 of maintenance over the years, and it’s only that high because I did a brake fluid flush and replaced, and a brake rotor cleaning because I’m in a cold state with salt on the roads. The brake fluid flesh was amazing, my brakes felt brand new after it.
THIS - everyone was talking so much shit in the early GME days. It was weeks/months off FUD 😂
That’s out in the open as bait, when he grabs it he falls into a pit full of GME shares
What made you decide to buy RYCEY during the era? All I heard was AMC and GME back then. I can't believe people were enriching themselves with RYCEY buys
Facts 85% of these account weren't even here before GME now running their mouths like market experts! Lol!
Has GME moass'd yet? I was in a coma for 4 years.
I assume anyone talking about GME is shilling it, because they usually are. Your comment is only humorous if it's understood by the reader to be sarcastic, which is hard to intuit through text. Snark subreddits and "/s" notation exist for a reason.
I don't know when but eventually, a lot of HTZ bagholders will be hanging out at the HTZ subreddit just like GME and AMC apes, talking about how it'll be going to the moon again any day now and how the system is rigged and pushing down quality companies like HTZ. Years will go by and you'll still be there latching onto the most minor news about the company in hopes it will make prices soar. Decades later, it'll say, "Diamond Handed Until the End" on your tombstone as your kids and grandkids weep over how much of a regard you were.
I don't know, I disagree. Because it's very easy for most of these companies to raise money if they have to. If Nvidia does an offering tomorrow, which they don't have to, and say "we need 500 billion to keep operations afloat or we go bankrupt," those shares will be scooped up in in a matter of one day. But in general these companies have so much cash hoarded it's insane. There's also so many billionaires nowadays compared to 08. The people actually playing in the market have achieved great wealth, on average, compared to back then, and that has nothing to do with salaries. There's so much disposable income floating around that the minute any of these companies go on sale, more money FLOODS into the market. Like I said, that wasn't the case 20 years ago. No one wants to pay $25 for a trade. Before that, if you were a trader, is was like $9.99 for a trade, or something like that, to get your broker to place it. We barely had good, strong hi-speed internet in 2008. It wasn't the same experience. 21 year olds weren't talking about Roth 401ks in 2008. You didn't have people from BFE investing left and right in American companies in 08. There were forums like Reddit with millions and millions of users discussing trades. If GME happened in 2008, that company would have gone bankrupt, guaranteed, because no way retail could stand up against the big boys back then. They'd get annihilated. Any massive buildout requires debt. I understand if the buildout ended up being all for nothing, but it actually has huge function. In the next 20 years, there's going to be more millionaires and billionaires than ever before, and that's not from inflated salaries. That's going to be from the markets. This is the industrial revolution of our time, but much greater, grander. Everyone uses AI already, and we're in its infancy. When I say everyone, I mean everyone. I have a cousin who is 98 years old who knows how to use ChatGPT. It's wild. That means there's a massive demand for this buildout, debt or no debt. The main thing, with any company, with any business, is getting the user base. Once you have the user base, monetization is easy. Look at Instagram. Did not make even one dollar. Zuckerberg bought it for a billion. Now it's one of the biggest cash cows in the world. He bought the user base and interface for a billion, not because it made any money. If you have a restaurant, and people are coming left and right, you're going to figure out how to make money eventually if you're smart. Sometimes people look too hard at financials without really taking a hard long look at what the future is about to bring. As I said, there will always be recessions and huge pullbacks. But there will never be another financial crisis like what we went through in my opinion. Banks are too smart. Algorithms are too smart. The stock market is too smart. It's learned from past mistakes. History doesn't repeat itself when the system becomes smarter. Just think about this -- you're about to enter an age where you're going to have a robot servant inside of your home, doing work for you. You're about to enter an age where a robot is going to do surgeries for you. You're entering an age where your EV gets 1000 miles per full charge, and charges in 7 minutes flat. You're entering an age where ships are exploring the universe. Where they find meteors in space full of gold and minerals. Where they are working on flying taxis. Where you literally remove the need to think and have a robot think for you. Are all of these good things? Maybe not, ethically, humanely. You'll get to a point, long after we're gone, where a lot of humans will be half human and half android, with chips inside us to have information stored in us, telecommunications inside of us. What will that do to the stock market? What will be the function of people? How will people earn money? Will there be UI like Musk says? I don't have the answer to these questions. But that's where a crisis may happen. When we question the purpose of our existence when everyone loses their job and there's nothing left for humans to do, besides the big wigs. But it's definitely not going to be from debt. Because I assure you, all this money in the market, the public will continue to support that debt, support these companies they believe in, in this day and age like never before.
Are you in GME too? I’m guessing 🥺
dont mind me. just checking if the bot still filters and deletes certain tickers GME BBBY JXN WKHS IZEA ACB
say VOO & chill and nobody bats an eye say GME & chill and everybody loses their minds
obviously puts. have you played in this casino before? HTZ, WEN, OPEN, AMC, GME, whatever. it’s always the same story.
So happy GME and WSB didn't pop off until after I was a functioning adult
Almost half of the HTZ shorts are funds with exposure, so they need to hedge. Therefore, we probably won’t see the same type of covering that we saw with GME.
Pretty obvious stocks that every idiot on Reddit own aren’t gonna keep going up for no reason. GME was one exception because of the pure ridiculous scale of retail buying and the mechanics behind the short squeeze, there were still probably institutions that made more money than any retail investor combined though.
Im going to paste AI Slop from my agent. It **DOES NOT make decisions/determinations**. All numbers come programmatically and the trade heuristics are deterministic. It simply narrates/explains the 800+ heuristic trading signals in combination with the prompt, stock news, and text books by subject matter experts. In the future, I will try to make the agent a bit more involved in choosing reranking the signals contextually. ====== ## Bottom Line Up Front **This is a live social-media pump attempt riding on genuinely elevated short interest — not a confirmed short-squeeze setup, and not obviously becoming one.** There's real fuel: **29.7% of float shorted**, ~10 days-to-cover at current volume, **~$328M net cash, $0 debt**, and a pending Nasdaq compliance decision. But the three ingredients that turn a candidate into a squeeze — **volume ignition, a tape-moving catalyst, and crowd coordination** — are all absent. Friday's restatement + earnings release (the "biggest news in months") bought the stock just **+5.9% on one-third of its average volume**. And the options market has already priced the squeeze in: **IV ~123% vs realized 64%**. You'd be paying 2–7× "fair" volatility for a lottery that is fighting a down-trend. ## Market Context - Price: **$1.61** (+5.9% Friday) · 52W range: $1.30 – $7.43 (**−78%**) - IV: **122.7%** (Aug 21 ATM), 104.8% (Aug 28) — **inverted term structure** - Realized vol (20-day Parkinson): **64.4%** → IV/RV ratio ≈ **1.9×** - Daily 1σ expected move: **$0.124 (±7.7%)** - Below SMA50 ($2.00) and SMA200 ($2.92) — primary trend is down - Avg volume 10.6M (50-day) · Friday volume 3.6M (**RelVol 0.34**) - Open interest: $2.00 Aug 21 calls **3,820** · $3.00 Sep 18 calls **9,013** · $3.00 Jan 2027 calls **13,661** **Volume is the story:** it has collapsed from 30M+/day in May to 3–6M/day. The reversal is unconfirmed. ## The Financial Reality Check | Metric | Value | Read | |---|---|---| | Market cap | ~$360M | vs $4.93M TTM sales → **P/S ≈ 73** | | FQ2 revenue / net | $1.5M / −$276K | Tiny; negative margins (-417% TTM) | | Net income TTM | −$20.6M | Op margin −524% | | Cash + ST investments (restated 8/7) | ~$328M | Cash/sh $1.47 vs price $1.61 | | Debt / total liabilities | $0 / $7.4M | Balance sheet genuinely clean | | Book value | $1.59/sh | Trading essentially at book | | Employees | 55 | IPO Nov 2023 | **What the Reddit DD got right:** the cash pile is real (~89% of market cap — the market values the whole operating business at ~$40–46M). A "runs out of money" short thesis is weak. **What it glosses over:** - **SEPA (Standby Equity Purchase Agreement)** — named in the restatement itself. A death-spiral facility: the company can print shares at a discount into any rally. May's $38.7M offering at $2.60–3.20 shows management will absolutely sell into strength. **This caps squeezes.** - **Class action** over allegedly misleading Microsoft-partnership statements. Restatement of FY2024/FY2025 + multiple quarters. **Nasdaq delisting notice pending** on the 7/20 compliance plan. - **Insiders have been distributing the entire ride:** COO sold ~$1.3M at $2.48–5.11 (2025); former officers sold at $2.68–3.00 in Feb 2026. Zero insider buys. - History (from an ex-holder in the threads): the "NVIDIA collaboration" — hype tweets before Jensen's keynote, then no mention, no partner-board listing. A repeated pattern of statement-driven pumps, now the subject of litigation. ## The "DD" — What's Actually In Those Four Threads Same author, same essay pasted **verbatim into 4 subreddits in 5 days**, self-described: *"I write this all to increase exposure of course."* No position disclosure. An "update" version went up 2 hours before I priced this. | Claim in the DD | What the data says | |---|---| | SI 37.64% / 63.81% of active float | Official: **29.72%**. "Active float" math is self-inconsistent (84.6M in part 1, 125M in part 2) | | 11.8 days to cover | 5.08 on trailing volume; **~10.3 on current 20-day volume** (partial credit — volume did dry up) | | "$2.00 call → $0.15–0.25 if RR hits $1.85" (4–7x) | Black-Scholes at 110% IV: **$0.10**. At realized 64%: **$0.04** — overstated 2–5× | | 2,394 contracts at $2.00 | Actually **3,820** (they undercounted) | | Cash: "$35M" → "$250M + $110M" → "$328M" | $328M is real — but the story changed 3 times in a week | | "Gamma ramp forming" | Call OI is real but small: full delta-hedge of the $2.00 stack = ~80K shares vs **54M short** vs 10M daily volume. Gamma is a spark, not the engine | | "OBV/ADL mathematically proving accumulation" | Unverifiable; author admits AI-generated analysis | | "450 deployments, 100% renewal, global retail giant MSA" | Unverifiable PR claims, none in filings | **Community reception is the tell:** total engagement across all four threads is ~60 upvotes. The DeepFuckingValue one scored **1 point (55%)**. Top comments are skeptical ex-holders ("hobby projects cobbled together with Temu parts", "repeatedly misleading statements", "same BS every few days"), Glassdoor complaints, and one r/Shortsqueeze user calling it out directly — *"write an article to convince people to throw money at my bagholder stock, then I'll buy calls, then spend 2 weeks spamming forums."* One commenter admitted buying $50 "because this came on my feed." That's the cohort these pumps farm — and there aren't enough of them yet. ## Squeeze Scorecard (against the standard screening framework) - ✅ Short interest / float: 29.7% (≥20% = candidate, >30% = extreme) - ✅ Days to cover: ~5–10 (elevated-to-high) - ⚠️ Cost to borrow: unknown — not verifiable - ✅ Float concentration: 31% institutional + 18.7% insider → shorts may be ~43% of actively traded float - ✅ Dense call OI near/OTM ($2 and $3 strikes) - ❌ **Catalyst moving the tape: restatement + earnings → +6% on ⅓ volume** - ❌ **Volume ignition: RelVol 0.34, 3 months of declining volume** - ❌ **Coordination: ~60 upvotes, skeptical comments, 4 crossposts** - ❌ **Dilution machinery: SEPA + demonstrated ATM selling** Most heavily shorted stocks **do not** squeeze: without a catalyst, high SI gets absorbed gradually; and IV on high-SI names already prices in squeeze probability, eating the edge. RR matches the profile of a candidate that never ignites — and it's down 78% for real reasons (litigation, delisting risk, restatement, fake-partner history). The systematic read (819 trading-rule heuristics evaluated on live data): **trend DOWN, strategy affinity: long puts > long calls**, top fired rules: exit longs in a bear trend, prefer the short side in a downtrend, use a probability calculator, keep positions small. The play being pitched (naked near-the-money calls) is **counter-trend**. ## The Long Call Menu — Premiums and Break-Evens Prices are last-trade 8/7. ⚠️ **Bid/ask is essentially absent on this board** — expect brutal spreads; the DD's own $0.03/$0.04 quote is the only live two-sided market I saw. | Expiry | Strike | Prem | Break-even | Move needed | Δ | Note | |---|---|---|---|---|---|---| | 8/21 | $1.50 | $0.20 | **$1.70** | +5.6% | 0.67 | closest to money; 5 sessions; theta + IV crush risk | | 8/21 | $2.00 | $0.04 | **$2.04** | +26.7% | 0.21 | the DD's example — fair value at $1.85 is ~$0.10, not $0.15–0.25 | | 8/28 | $2.00 | $0.06 | **$2.06** | +28% | 0.26 | | | 9/18 | $2.00 | $0.15 | **$2.15** | +33.5% | 0.39 | best outright-call risk/reward | | 9/18 | $3.00 | $0.04 | **$3.04** | +88.8% | 0.13 | pure lottery | | 11/20 | $2.00 | $0.28 | **$2.28** | +41.6% | 0.49 | | | Jan'27 | $2.00 | $0.36 | **$2.36** | +46.6% | 0.54 | longest cushion | | Jan'27 | $3.00 | $0.22 | **$3.22** | +100% | 0.36 | fair at 123% IV, **7× its 64%-vol fair value** | **The math behind the warning:** at $1.85 — the DD's own "if" — the 8/21 $2.00 call is worth **$0.10** even with IV held at 110% (a 2.5×, not 4–7×). If IV mean-reverts to the 64% realized level on the bounce — the normal sequence on these names — it's worth **$0.04, exactly what you paid, after the stock rallied 15%**. The squeeze scenario is already in the option prices. ### If you still want to be long the squeeze Defined-risk structures only (this is also the standard guidance for squeeze participation): - **Sep 18 $2.00/$3.00 bull call spread** — debit ~$0.11 · break-even **$2.11** (+31%) · max profit $0.89/contract · max loss $0.11 → **~8:1 reward:risk** - **Jan 2027 $2.00/$3.00 bull call spread** — debit ~$0.14 · break-even **$2.14** (+33%) · max profit $0.86/contract · max loss $0.14 → **~6:1** - 8/14 $1.50/$2.00 (6 DTE) — debit ~$0.16 · BE $1.66 · max profit $0.34 — tempting, but that's a 6-day gamma/theta lottery Position size: **1–2% of the account, one spread, predefined exit.** Squeezes end abruptly and reverse sharply — most commonly within days of the peak. Don't hold a winner through the top. ## Verdict - **Pump-and-dump in the making? Yes — and a weak one.** Same author, four subreddits in a week, undisclosed position, self-admitted exposure motive, AI-generated "741/GME" numerology bait, inflated and self-contradicting stats, and a comment section full of people this company's press-release game already burned. - **Real short-squeeze setup? Not yet.** Genuine SI fuel and a genuinely cashed-up balance sheet — but no volume, no catalyst confirmation, no crowd, insider selling, and a SEPA sitting ready to sell into any rally. Friday was the tell: the single best news in three months produced a 6% bounce on sleeping volume. - **The flip that changes the call:** a Nasdaq compliance **approval** announcement *with* volume >30M and a weekly close above **$1.70**. Then $2.00–2.05 (SMA50 / max-pain / volume-node confluence — the only part of the DD I'd credit) becomes live gamma territory. Until that prints, the odds are on the side of the stock doing what it's been doing. *Data: last-trade option quotes 8/7 (illiquid board — confirm executable prices before committing), Finviz snapshot cached ~10h, 20-day Parkinson realized vol from daily candles.

Guys Hertz (HTZ) might be the new GameStop GME , I will bet my house on it at the monday market opening, LETS GO HERTZ
It's clear thats Wendy's pressure its building up. It will blow amd skyrocket like GME. https://preview.redd.it/t2ysethmt8ih1.png?width=1408&format=png&auto=webp&s=9bc61e47a88bdfe0faba2b52ef86b6a4efe9e421
I’m shorting GME forever. F\*\*\* that company…
Not Robinhood that actively works against it's users.. the whole GME saga showed their true colors.
I was around during the historic GME/AMC squeeze and looking at the comments I feel like retail, particularly on Reddit have become much dumber than they used to and are just crowding the dame mega caps Back in the days, there were people who dedicated their tome to the topic edudated people on the in and outs of what these are and how they work and you would think that with how accessible AI is they would at least look it up If they did, rhey would know, for starters: that a short squeeze doesn't need the company to have goos prospects nor does it need retail. Retail can be an accelerant to it and peovide liquidity but retail driven short squeezes are exceptionally rare. Most of them happen supposedly "out of nowhere" because they are driven by institutions and high frequency firms when shorts get trapped and margin called. If they did a simple google search they also know that HTZ has attention because it's a stock that has historically squeezed multuple times. The biggest run it had was from a low of 0.4 all the way up to 6 around 2020. And it did multiple 200% and 300% runs since so being up about 50% from its bottom back to where it was just a month ago isn't crazy. Heck, it's still down over 50% from where it was in June Doesn't mean it's a sure thing. It's the riskiest thing I currently hold and I treated the money as a lottery when I bought it. But I sometimes think this is bot activity intended to surpress stocks and orevent retail from profiting
I like how the meme stock list is GME, AMC, and BBBY and was last updated 4 years ago lmao
If SOUN is one of the most shorted stocks in the market and it climbed 30% in a week, do those shorts get out quick or do they stay hoping it dumps? Are they confident it’ll drop or are the big dogs ever scared of a GME situation or do they have plans in place for that to never happen again? Love to be a fly on the wall of some of these big firms and how they think.
Pre covid and pre GME wsb was so much fun. I can’t believe that was over 6 years ago
