And here I am kicking myself for that $280 GME loss 😭 Op - you should consider getting another hobby, like collecting synths or guitars.. At least you can strum or smash those when shit gets tough or you get hired to play with Trent Reznor

Fr it’s the internet you can say RETARD, it’s built into the subs culture. Regarded was funny for a little when it was a typo or making fun of ppl, and when the GME ceo was like “I send my *regards*”

Look regard I started with 15k and made it to 1.2 mil betting on GME. I had a limit sell in place but got greedy, cancelled the sell (it would have hit), and doubled down with margin instead. Lost it all plus owed $200k, had to declare bankruptcy, got a job, did it all over again but with ironclad discipline and now I'm back to 600k, 4 years later. You can come back. Then again I don't have adhd. So maybe just wait for the market to crash and full port 2x lev SPY.

For the last 5 years since GME, wall streets bets has been looked upon by wallstreet as a joke. Everyone in here is constantly crying "bull this" "bear that" its time to put the name of WSB where it righteously belongs. We need to start a plan to squeeze the lemonade out of tickr FUN. Sixflags has been one of the most heavily shorted stocks of the year with the hedges taking all the profit. Its time for this to end. Who is with me?

Holy shit. I went from way down on my puts to making a fuck ton of money. I'm out. Now just need my GME calls to run.

Can we get an AMEN for HOOD RDDT GME please !!

K owing what i know now about direct to market brokers its so easy to see why the GME move never stood a chance. If DFV had managed to lead the herd off robinhood and onto a direct to market broker, they would have really done it. Most retail brokers are market maker sided and so guess what? You will never win there. If you get too lucky too often youll notice things like your app stops working proper or orders just dont fill when they should. Holy shit guys this is like my sputnik moment lol

Like Enron and others, this is a pump n dump scheme. Either that or it's like GME and a meme stock destined to to back to reality (eventually). $20? .50 cents? haha

ElectronicInterest86

Absolutely stupid post. You must pump and dump. How is your post helping anyone. Aren’t you the same pumper who recommended GME in the 200s. Trapped many people

Yk what it's the whales that controlling the narrative, we need a GME style stuff for nvda where retailers control the price , no bad news excellent quarter, china sales, fed rate cut everything is in favour of the price being above 200

u/OpinionIsUnpopular u/OSRSkarma, the app has changed too much, I want to message the mods, assuming modmail is still a thing and this account doesn't get immediately banned for, you know, reasons. Oh yeah karma limits incoming, but it's worth a try. Also, when you see my ban in chat, could you please pass it on to the mod team before Reddit realizes who I am? Flying Madman, veteran of GME and the subsequent civil wars. I just want to talk.

Speak for yourself I’ve got plenty of Jan 2027 dollar calls. They are dirt cheap and there are so many bagholders I would be shocked if there isn’t another meme mini-pump and I’m giving myself a year plus to be right. I didn’t even know there was a sub but yeah it’s probably just another version of the GME/AMC ones—a bunch of people who are convinced they are up against the entire financial world and only they can see this extremely convoluted and corrupt scheme that is all centered around a mid company….okay sure whatever. Just keep building the hype so I can make some money the next time it trends on twitter

There’s no misinformation here. You’re totally not ‘tarded, the current stock market/market cap/and current US economy is totally on the up and up, GME is a great buy, reddit sentiment is reflective of the overall US opinion, politicians who beat the market by upwards of 3-4x are just good traders. Not sure what you’re arguing about here

Clock broken is right twice a day. Dr Burry right every few years. Dude wasn't just a bear the whole time but his bearish calls get highlighted by media so he sounds like a gigabear. Dude bought into GME before Roaring Kitty did (sold out early like a paper handed bitch though), shorted then went long China at the right times, went short TLT after Fed rate hikes, etcetcetc. Still. I think Burry is probably wrong and early. The market has so much dumber crap working that shorting AI is like the dumb af. Carvana is worth $100B. That's more than Carmax (6), Honda motors (40), Pinterest (17), Zillow (17), MGM resorts (10), and BiliBili (9.9) COMBINED. Then there are the quantum hype stocks like Riggetti computing. Plus the entire crypto space looks scammy AF plus BTC still has no real use case after 15years. MSTR out here stacking BTC while shorting itself. PE looking for suckers to hold their bags like a fent addict looking for their next fix. And more.

WOW_SUCH_KARMA

For sure, I'm not disputing the reason, but the reason now is the same as it was at 2pm et and at 11am and at 9am when the same whiny question was asked 4 different times today alone. It's obnoxious and we all know it's just "I want Elon to go broke" bullshit. Many years ago before the GME craze, there were actual rules around what could and could not be posted but it seems like the rules just don't exist anymore.

Ok_Guidance4571

Yes I did go with Higher volatile companies. I do think GME at 22 a share when they have warrants out there for $32 dollars next October makes i a little safer. And I am on the call side so I am selling the covered calls if they get exercised im good with it. I do Believe that BBAI is going places probably in the 10-15 dollar range in the next year or 2(pending how they handle dilution, and if the get government contracts while the Department of War is in office hehe). AMC yes I have a cost basis of 3.40 so getting hammered on that one. And I do have other accounts that are stable. goal for me here is to be able to start spending some of my gains...

SeriuoslyCasual

It may have meme aspects but it isn’t GME and that sort of nonsense. Major serious investors and institutional money involved. That alone takes it out of meme land. Some Redditors who hate Tesla and Trump don’t get to make all the definitions of meme stocks, as they try to justify their failure to double their money in 9 months like I just did.

Ever since GME, everyone is talking about short squeeze

Difficult_Winner_777

People keep forcing SGBX into random comps like GME or whatever, but the mechanics here still rhyme more with HKD style micro supply setups than an options driven meme run. The Dec 9 PRER14A literally sets Dec 29 as the gate for the big corporate actions and share authorization changes, so the “millions of new tradable shares” narrative is not something that just appears before that meeting. At the same time, borrow is still triple digit and locates keep printing tight, with short volume staying heavy on the tape. I am not calling an outcome. I am saying the structure people are trading around still looks supply constrained.

xsairon

ye honestly thankful investing 700 bucks in GME at 18, and then investing in HIMS let me feel those 50%+ drops real nicely early on. Currently down YTD because of NBIS/IREN drop yet pretty chill about it. you just gotta get used to becoming a community member while holding bags if nothing has changed but price

Bullshit. That is what you wish but you are lying. The first time you ever mentioned GME in your entire life was January 27 2021 and it’s in your history, it was the very first stock you ever bought… and on Robin Hood! What you were actually talking about in 2020 was stealing WiiU games!!

Just because a rescheduling announcement didn't happen today as multiple outlets reported "could be announced as early as Monday" doesn't mean it won't happen tomorrow or next week. I mulled puts on TLRY all Sunday long and I kept coming back to that potential reversal on my puts. It wasn't just meme news, it's potentially an industry changing announcement. Don't do it. There are so many other plays. In particular, I'm playing puts on GME post-the social activity and tiktok influencer commercial on Friday. I'm betting that the volume dries up after retail piled in today after the weekend finished.

They can FTD forever the fine is only $5million a month. Same situation with GME they let it spike a little and keep shorting and borrowing for a fine.

**On the AI accusation:** I work in supply chain. Statistical analysis and supply vs demand literally my job. Take it as a compliment. And for 100000000000 time, yes I am using AI to reference my 50+ page thesis to respond ESPECIALLY to genius's like you that I never could do without Claude's help :) **On GME:** I said "turnaround is speculative" - meaning unproven, not impossible. Cohen raising $9B to sit in cash isn't a turnaround yet. It's optionality. FLWS already has the revenue. All in my 50+ page thesis my friend. **On "AI for flowers":** Their AI play isn't chatbots for customer service. It's leveraging 30 years of first-party purchase data for predictive marketing. Birthdays, anniversaries, life events. That data existed before cookies, before Meta, before Google. In a privacy-first world, that's gold. Again, I am in supply chain, I know what this data is worth. **On "market manipulation":** Sharing publicly available SEC filings, FINRA data, and statistical analysis on a public forum isn't manipulation. It's due diligence. If discussing stocks online is manipulation, delete the subreddit. **Meanwhile:** Stock closed +10%, now +20% after hours, FTD settlement starts tomorrow. I've provided data, sources, and citations. You've provided insults. We're done here.

WendigoBroncos

okay you're using ai at this point these are a bit long winded for like 5 minutes. **if not you're obsessed dude and need to go touch some grass.** your lack of knowledge regarding the tickers you're using as examples **is laughable.** **GME a dying retailer...?** you're watching too much mainstream news. cohen took a 200m market cap and raised **9** **BILLION DOLLARS.** which will ensure no bankruptcy for something like 20 years if they do absolute jack shit with the company and money. lets see FLWS pull that kind of capital. and dude... AI? for **fucking flowers**. all that means is shitty customer service, a fuck-the-workers approach and really, really bad ads. haven't you seen the nose-dives retailers are suffering when going heavy into ai thinking replacing their labor costs will work? AGAIN FUCKING LOL AI IS WHAT YOU THINK WILL MAKE THEM MONEY. relying on a squeeze and imo, market manipulation via social media.

OutlandishnessUsed24

One more thing on "hardly GME working a turnaround": **You're right - this ISN'T a meme with no fundamentals. That's the point.** FLWS has 30+ years of customer purchase data going back to the 1-800 phone order days. Birthdays, anniversaries, Mother's Days, sympathy occasions - decades of purchase patterns tied to life events. **That data alone is arguably worth the current market cap (\~$275M).** They're not a dying retailer hoping to pivot. They're a $1.9B revenue company with: * Exposed first-party customer data from before the internet existed * Recent AI transformation (new CIO Alex Zelikovsky announced) * Predictable recurring revenue tied to calendar events * Multi-brand portfolio (Harry & David, Cheryl's Cookies, Shari's Berries) **The squeeze is the asymmetric upside. The floor is fundamental value.** If the squeeze thesis is wrong? I own a profitable company trading at a discount to its data asset value during an AI boom where first-party data is gold. GME's turnaround is speculative. FLWS already HAS the revenue, the data, and the recurring customer base. Worst case: I own a cheap stock. Best case: Squeeze + AI catalyst repricing. That's not "relying purely on squeeze." That's asymmetric risk/reward.

OutlandishnessUsed24

Let me be very direct here: **"Different hedge funds / cannibalistic"** Good. Multiple funds competing for 600K available shares to cover 527K in FTDs = bidding war. That helps, not hurts. **"Can't trade faster than systems"** Speed doesn't matter when the constraint is PHYSICAL SHARES. HFTs can't algo their way into shares that don't exist. This isn't a momentum play - it's a delivery obligation. **"Moonshots get shot down"** HOW did they get shot down? I'll tell you: * GME: Company diluted via S-3 * AMC: Company issued 400M+ shares * BYND: Bondholders converted $202M **Every single "shot down" had a MECHANISM.** FLWS has no S-3, no ATM, no convertible bonds. What's the mechanism here? **"Crime" / "spewing a lot"** To be clear: I'm sharing publicly available SEC filings, FINRA data, and statistical analysis. All sources cited. All verifiable. That's not "spewing" - that's due diligence. If you're suggesting hedge funds will commit crime to escape - name the specific mechanism. "Crime" as a vague concept doesn't settle FTDs. **"Bigger fish already cashed in"** Then why is short interest STILL 104% of float? If they cashed in, where's the exit? I've cited filings and data. You've cited vibes. Read the DD.

WendigoBroncos

it's not always the same hedge fund buddy. these squeezes have become a cannibalistic source of cash for huge institutions. you can't trade faster than the systems harvesting profit on every uptick. FTD forced purchases definitely drive price when large enough. but moonshots are literally shot down in progress these days. here's hopin pal. but you're spewing a lot here that doesn't count for all the you know.. **crime**. FLWS been on my radar for a minute, but it's hardly GME working a hugely profitable turnaround. you're relying purely on squeeze that other, bigger fish already know about and cashed in on.

GME, not because I made a ton of money (only a few hundred in profit) but because it was my entrance into investing as a whole.

OutlandishnessUsed24

You're actually describing HOW we got here, not why it doesn't matter. **Naked shorting and rehypothecation create FTDs.** That's not a counterargument - that's literally the thesis. They DID rehypothecate. They DID naked short. And now 527K of those chickens come home to roost this week via T+35 settlement. **Those FTDs are LOCKED:** * Nov 11 fail → Dec 16 due * Nov 12 fail → Dec 17 due * Nov 13 fail → Dec 18 due Can they naked short MORE today? Sure. But that creates JANUARY FTDs. It doesn't change what's due THIS WEEK. The T+35 calendar is set. **"Where's the lock and key?"** It's the ESCAPE ROUTES: * GME escaped via S-3 dilution → **FLWS has no S-3** * AMC escaped via share issuance → **FLWS has no ATM program** * BYND escaped via bondholder conversion → **FLWS has zero convertible bonds** * All three had insider lending → **McCann Class B auto-converts if transferred** * Options rollover trick? **Used Oct 23. OI is tapped.** Yes, I followed those tickers. I watched the escapes. **That's why I'm here** \- because the escapes don't exist. Dig the hole deeper for January? Sure. Escape December? No mechanism exists.

Common response to the below: **"Wake me up when borrow fee hits triple digits"** You're anchoring to GME/AMC. But FLWS has NEVER had triple-digit fees. Its all-time max is 5.44%. You're waiting for a signal that doesn't exist for this ticker. **I pulled 18 months of data (52,240 observations):** |Metric|Value| |:-|:-| || |Mean fee (18 months)|1.25%| |Max fee EVER|5.44%| |**Current fee**|**3.21%**| |Percentile|**Top 12% of ALL readings**| The current 3.21% is higher than 87.7% of every reading in 18 months. That's not "chump change" - that's a breakout. **Why the CHANGE matters:** The fee was pinned at 2.8-3.1% for weeks with a std dev of 0.078%. Today it broke to 3.21% - a **3.76 sigma event** (<0.02% chance of random noise). If a heart rate is 60-62 BPM for hours and hits 72, you don't say "wake me at 200." You recognize something changed. **When fees hit triple digits, you've already missed it.** By the time GME hit 100%+ CTB, the squeeze was running. The signal is the BREAK from normal, not some arbitrary peak. This is literally in my DD - the statistical analysis, the 18-month data, the sigma calculation. All there. The canary doesn't need to explode. It just needs to stop singing.

Appreciate the detailed response - you clearly know mechanics. Let me address this in the context of THIS specific setup: **1-2. Gamma initiates, but what sustains it?** Agreed gamma drives price discovery. But in GME/AMC, supply eventually arrived (dilution). In FLWS: no S-3 filed, no convertible bonds, McCanns can't lend without losing voting control. Gamma gets price there. Blocked exits keep it there. **3-4. "FTDs are back-office, gamma comes first"** Usually true. But FLWS has 527K shares due THIS WEEK with 600K available. Coverage ratio: 0.87x. This isn't theoretical future stress - it's 48 hours away. Gamma would accelerate something already in motion. **5-6. "High IV doesn't reduce delta/gamma"** Technically correct for dealer mechanics. But at 200% IV, retail's $1,000 buys fewer contracts = less TOTAL gamma retail can bring. And on shares having "no follow-through" - in a normal float, agreed. In a float where 94% is short and 527K must be delivered from 600K available? Every share removed IS follow-through. **7. "Options initiate, shares sustain"** This is where we AGREE. You said it yourself. My actual strategy: * Buy calls on dips * Sell calls when IV spikes * Convert premium to shares * Never sell the shares Options = initiation leverage Shares = sustained scarcity **The synthesis:** Gamma INITIATES (you're right). FTDs FORCE buying regardless (unique here). Blocked exits SUSTAIN it (no dilution). Shares COMPOUND it (constrained float). We're saying the same thing from different angles. You're focused on how squeezes start. I'm focused on why THIS one can't be unwound. Both matter :)

OutlandishnessUsed24

They're **partially correct** on mechanics, but **missing key context** for THIS specific situation. Here's my take: **Where they're RIGHT:** * Delta hedging mechanics are accurate * Gamma does amplify buying pressure as price rises * MMs hedge price risk first, not borrow availability * Near-dated ATM calls do have high gamma * This IS how GME's gamma squeeze worked **Where they're WRONG or incomplete for FLWS specifically:** **1. IV makes the math different here** IV is 170-200%+. That $1,000 doesn't buy what it normally would. Normal IV stock: $1,000 = maybe 10 ATM contracts FLWS right now: $1,000 = maybe 3-4 ATM contracts The leverage advantage they're describing is **already priced in.** You're paying a massive premium for that gamma exposure. **2. Theta is brutal at this IV** Someone in another thread: "Up 221% today, still down 65% overall." If the squeeze doesn't happen THIS WEEK, those calls go to zero. Shares don't have an expiration date. You can be early and still win with shares. Be early with weekly options and you lose everything. **3. Options create TEMPORARY pressure. Shares create PERMANENT scarcity.** When your call expires or you sell it, the MM unwinds the hedge. That buying pressure disappears. Shares you hold = shares shorts can't use to deliver. Ever. Until YOU decide to sell. For the FTD settlement thesis, shorts need ACTUAL shares to deliver. Not synthetic hedges. SEC Rule 204 requires real delivery. **4. This thesis is FTD-driven, not purely gamma-driven** GME was gamma-driven - retail piled into calls, MMs hedged, price exploded. FLWS has that dynamic PLUS mandatory FTD settlement. 527K shares MUST be delivered this week regardless of options activity. That's regulatory, not optional. Gamma is additive here. But the base case works on FTD mechanics alone. **5. The specific recommendation is risky** "Buy this week's $5 and $6 calls for maximum pressure" The $5s are barely ATM. The $6s are OTM. Both expire in 4 days. If the squeeze is Wednesday/Thursday, great. If it's delayed to next week, **those go to zero.** **6. For the NUCLEAR scenario specifically** The post above this was about the infinity squeeze - what happens if shorts literally cannot find shares. That requires SHARE SCARCITY, not hedging flows. MMs can hedge synthetically. But shorts can't deliver synthetic shares to satisfy FTDs.

Everyone on Reddit post-GME has put everything down to manipulation. It's just not. You need to provide evidence of manipulation to claim manipulation rather than randomly asserting it. The high beta risk-on assets sold off at open (quantum stocks, OKLO etc) so it's far more likely that algos that trade BTC in correlation with these high beta stocks shorted BTC at market open. Far more likely than the nefarious manipulation that everyone claims

The real mature value plays are finally showing their strength against a falsely inflated market. Undervalued stocks such as TSLA, PLTR, & the power house of business that is GME.
