GME

AdhesivenessLimp1864

I doubt it. I was curious to see how any of the other big memes rallies did when they started losing traction. GME, AMC, BB, etc all lost traction on Thursday. Not one of them increased over their Friday closing price the following Monday throughout the entire day more than a few cents. Chat GPT said three of them did but when I checked their prices myself to make sure it wasn’t hallucinating I didn’t see anything. The prices could have maybe risen enough for a few seconds so I missed that one point but even if I did fuck that up you’d have to sell with literally perfect timing to make that money back. Note: this isn’t about the stock itself in my mind. It’s about human behavior in groups. All that being said if you want to take the risk then go for it. There is no rule that says just because the other five didn’t do it that Wendy’s can’t. Especially because I didn’t bother to compare number of posts, impressions, comments, and other interactions each of those memes had to Wendy’s.

It's madness isn't it. I guess that's the problem with trading stocks based purely on vibes - they probably think my negative energy is the reason the share price goes down or something. I went through all this with GME 5 years ago. So I get it, but it's so dumb.

Wintrgreen

Yeah it literally happened with GME

Ohhmama11

That’s not true at all. By 2021, Robinhood had moved away from third-party clearing houses and processed its own trades through its own subsidiary, **Robinhood Securities**. On the morning of January 28, 2021, the National Securities Clearing Corporation (NSCC) hit Robinhood with a massive, unexpected collateral demand of **$3 billion** due to the extreme volatility of stocks like GameStop ($GME) and AMC. Robinhood did not have that cash on hand, so they negotiated the fee down by agreeing to restrict users from buying those volatile stocks. At approximately 5:11 AM EST on January 28, 2021... **Robinhood Securities** received an automated notice stating it had a deposit deficit of approximately $3 billion \[from the NSCC\]." Because Robinhood Securities was the entity that owed the money, it was Robinhood's own executive team not an outside clearing firm like Apex that made the call to place GameStop and other stocks into "Position Closing Only" (PCO) status to lower their own collateral bill https://democrats-financialservices.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=409578#:\~:text=Today%2C%20Congresswoman%20Maxine%20Waters%20(D,Event%20Exposed%20Troubling%20Business%20Practices%2C

What dates are you guys targeting for a GME breakout tho

Super-Activity-4675

heavily shorted stocks are going to have large spikes. 50% in just a few days is a pretty good return that most people would be thrilled with, and I personally call that a mini-squeeze. You're right that it is not a true squeeze in the CAR/GME/AMC/BYND sense, but the fundamentals lined up nicely for a nice swing trade at a minimum if you bought when it was 8, and the technicals indicate it may not be finished. More than 1.4M shares closed in the money on the weekly chain yesterday, with more than 10M currently exposed calls on the July OpEx. As of today, there's 63M shares short and 187% annualized CTB. I don't think this is done, and the real question is whether or not it will keep the momentum through OpEx. Outstanding warrants will probably mute the impact, but hitting 15-20 in the next week or two is very realistic, especially since the move a month ago forced most of the remaining warrants to be exercised.

Boys4Ever

This thread is literally about an article from yesterday. What exactly are you claiming to be FUD? Chinese memory cannot compete? Chinese memory not being restricted like their EV? Seems rather general to claim all news is FUD for retail investors in memory although AMC investors claimed all FUD until they got fudded (I know that's likely not a word lol). Just curious but do you think memory prices will remain elevated indefinitely and any news opposing that just FUD like with AMC and GME claims by their retail investors?

Acrobatic-Fault876

Comparing anything today to GME’s 140% short interest shows a fundamental misunderstanding of post 2021 market mechanics. In the modern market, 32% to 37% short interest of the float is the new 100%. It places $WEN in the absolute top tier of the most heavily shorted stocks on the entire market.

whamra

32% short interest % of float. Not interest. 32 is still too low. For comparison, GME was 140.

AdditionalMany1292

Lmao you literally just went on a rant about describing a short squeeze, could it pump more sure, could it gamma ramp sure. But at the end of the day it all ends when wendies presses the dilute button your playing hot potato. I swear this song and dance has been done time and time again, BYND, FFIV, GME, AMC, ADTX, BBBY. Don’t forget to DRS your shares so hedgies can’t borrow your shares!

This feels like the new GME. Is it squeezing time?

Others claim \~80% but I couldn’t find any source to back that up. Odds are it’s above 1/3rd tho. No, GME’s had more shares outstanding than shares available. Went from \~$9 if you bought before the retail hype and drama to like 250/300 at its peak back then. That is almost certainly not the trajectory here. Still gonna moon though.

permanent_pixel

Imagine thinking buying a fast-food stock with a 30% short interest makes you a revolutionary. ​GME was an actual short squeeze. This WEN pump is just a bunch of bagholders-in-training trying to front-run each other before the new CFO narrative cools down. The institutional longs baiting this sub are laughing all the way to the bank while you guys buy $30 Calls with 400% IV. ​When the IV crush hits next week, your portfolio is going to look more fried than a 4-for-4 chicken nugget. Cut the 'Hold the Line' crap, you aren't fighting the hedge funds, you are being farmed by them. Take profits or become the ultimate exit liquidity.

penguinReloaded

I don't think it will be next, but ai believe that GME has another crazy run in the next few years.

No_Yogurtcloset7776

That movie got me into stocks when I watched it last July. At the time, i didnt know of the terms bullish or bearish, even. Now I just finished my 85th investment book since like August of last year (many are audiobooks, long commute). Ive been watching Roaring Kittys live streams, and hes a nice, down to earth guy, who was right about GME for over a year before it really increased. Even now, the stock is high compared to 2019 (trading around $4, not adjusted for 1 to 4 split).

confusing_roundabout

Yeah for sure. Once upon a time, I was a dumbass who lost money on GME. I then was out of stocks until BYND where I narrowly avoided losing all of my gains by buying in again at the peak and hastily selling before I could have lost it all. Those losses combined with a foray into pennystocks and then sensible long term stocks taught me how to spot a pump and dump when I see one. Maybe the WEN bag holders will learn a similar lesson.

indieemopunk

GME

MJ-xyz

A few notes from the end of the movie that I liked and felt relevant: \- The movement RK started is only just beginning \- Because of GME 85% of hedge funds scour the internet to see where retail traders are investing. Fearing another short squeeze, funds have dramatically reduced their short positions (this could have likely been the volatility we saw this week) \- A lot of the people feel that our system is broken. The idea of the stock market is to feel we have a fair playing feild where if you're smart and pay attention, and a little luck you can make your fortune. Due to the sheer wealth of the big institutions there was no hope for the little guy. Or at least there was, maybe now there is.

I bought GME around $8 before the original pump, and took profit around $18 I bought NVDA at today's equivalent of $15 and took profit at today's equivalent of about $30 I had TSLA employee shares and took profit when Elon was going crazy about taking the public private at what was $420 back then. I bought PLTR at $8 and took profit at around $20 Does that count as regret?

bluchairs1011

GME. Got out last year and put it all on MU and SNDK, got lucky.

CaesarLinguini

I made out pretty good on AMC back after the GME lottery. Had 600 shares bought around $9. Sold at $30, $45, and $60. Wrote covered calls over the last 300 for 50%-75% of my initial investment all the way down to $20 where I sold the last 200 (had one contract get exercised around $30 iirc).

banditcleaner2

GME because I sold too early and missed out on a life changing sum of money, NVDA kinda same, and latest one is SNDK I had bought 200 shares at like $370 and sold wayyyyy too early

ArmpitTime

GME. But it taught me to not be a bag-holder and to take profits, which is a far more valuable lesson than the couple thousand I lost.

GuitarCFD

I mean with GME...let's face it there were alot of things going on that were examples of how short selling was not supposed to work. Also...the way you frame that is just...weird. Like...yeah it's technically true that a MM or other share lender can sell that share after the short closes their position...in the case of gamestop there weren't enough available shares to close those positions without the price going up wildly.

RemWellCo

Appreciate this but this WSB pump has been pretty pathetic. Hard to think it’s actually gonna go GME on us at this point Looking at you, SPCE

A_Novelty-Account

Everyone is obsessed with short squeeze plays since GME lmao

Fun_Necessary1021

I can't wait for you to all lose your ass just like GME and SPCE I love seeing meme spammers get fucked

SpicyElixer

Nice straw man. Last 5 years: VTI doubled GME halved. 4x the difference in just the most effortless safe investment. Why would you ever trade options when you’ve proven to be below average in general?

jraven877

A Wendy’s, GME, AMC combo. You go to AMC for a movie; there’s a Wendy’s concession stand and a Game Stop arcade attached for after. 👌

501CaptainRex

I made made from GME, which I used to make money on AMC, which I used to make money on BBY, which I used to make money on Opendoor, which I used to make money on ADTX.

MaybeICanOneDay

I was trading this at like 30 dollars some years when WSB (before you GME fucking losers flooded this place) was doing the "to the MUon!" memes. Holy fuck. Why didnt i just hold.

wrigh516

GME says about 140%

PckMan

I've seen it happen so many times ever since GME. And most of the time I get on and off green because I've gotten a feel for them. But at the same time there's all those desperate people dumping their savings into it thinking it's the second GME, the narrative is always the same verbatim it's actually insane, like a cult almost, and of course all those stocks do actually form their own cults. Subreddits popping up all over. It takes like one or two posts about a stock for people to drink the kool aid.

Mother___Night

In any other context, GME's consistent YoY revenue declines would have had investors heading for the hills years ago. I can't wait for the day it finally goes under.

calgary_db

As someone who has been blocked permanently by the MSTR sub, the Bitcoin sub, and the BTC sub: They believe in bitcoin for the future no matter what happens. Even price point and trend. Even if the time horizon doesn't happen. Even if Saylor is a known multi time fraudster. Even beyond all reason. It is just hope and recycled memes. Same as the GME community.

Sweaty-Afternoon-508

Seems to be an over simplification. Issuing more shares at a significantly higher price absolutely helps the company. They also are more likely to be able to procure loans from banks if the market cap is higher, and M&A is more possible when shares are part of the deal.. But look no further than GME. Tell me that didn’t save their asses.

bearwithastick

As someone who made similar money with GME and then.. just lost it. My advice: Take this money, move it to an ETF and never fucking touch a trader app again.

Bro look at the dividend on this b. Who the f cares. Time to pile in. This is like GME but instead of a useless store they have spicy chicken sandwiches and chili.

LiamPhlegmsworth

I love that y’all are creating another “community” with WEN. We should merge the AMC and GME communities with the new WEN community and IPO as a $1.5T valuation think tank. Who needs AI when you could just ask that group your questions.

AgitatorSupreme

I was messing with WEN trades thru out the day, i didnt see anything about this. I don’t know why anyone trusts robinhood after the shit they pulled with GME. That move should have put themselves out of business.

Extension-Temporary4

I wouldn’t count on Reddit to save anything. And pumping a stock isn’t saving it. GME is still a dying business regardless of how hard Reddit pumps it. Ryan cohen is still an absolute incompetent moron. Reddit pumped Wendy’s for a day, it’s back down again. The business is still broken, regardless of what the share price does. Point is, Reddit isn’t saving anyone or anything, ever. They’re just pumping and delaying the inevitable. Instead focus on an actual thesis and invest if you have conviction in that thesis long term.  For me, I think snap has value and it’s currently trading at a market cap that doesn’t fully reflect that value. You could sell the data to marketing agencies or LLM’s for big money. You could sell the trademark for big money. You can sell the proprietary tech that went into building the specs for huge money. You can sell the platform simply for its 1bn users for huge money. The market cap is 7bn. The company has 3bn in cash alone. If you sold the platform for 1 dollar per users that would be a billion right there. Meta bought oculus for $2bn. Right there you’re at $7bn. And you still have heaps of valuable data, other good will, receivables and other assets. There is value here.

GME to the fucking moon

sosawof

Honestly, how do you guys feel about GME? Not that squeeze bs, but going off their earnings and playbook

ALLCAPITAL

Watching GME chart track down and everyone says people are dumb to like it. To this day it’s still worth 10x what it was before the squeeze. WEN makes sense long term. It’s depressed but they have been cutting to maximize the value for a while. The turnaround is coming.

gianmk

the GME apes must have the strongest mental fortitude there is. There have been no movement in shareprice for like 3 years or some shit and they still have blind faith in the company. Its almost admirable.

deltasleepy

People still use Robinhood after they were exposed after GME era???? 😂

Jagick

Didn't AMD just dilute? Again? AMC could absolutely be reversed like GME and Wendy's if AMC's leadership weren't so determined to drive it deeper and deeper into core of the planet.

wuhanabe

GME, BYND they all got nailed at the start. This play is missing a leader thats the problem. GME had keith Gill, BYND had Capybara.

AlarmedRaccoon619

You make some very interesting points. I don't think Peltz is behind the long-term decline of the stock, but I do think he has a vested interest in WEN staying undervalued while he's working on a deal to take the company private and I think he it's reasonable to assume he's on the short list of suspects behind the hammering WEN took this morning. If WEN turned into GME, his deal would be cooked (pun intended).

arctictony222

I still believe WEN has the catalyst to squeeze but unfortunately WSB doesn't have the resilience, unity or balls they once had with GME.

confusing_roundabout

I was here for GME and BYND. I know a pump and dump when I see one now.

BilboBagonuts

Well yeah, that’s what turned GME into a rocket. I would not expect that to happen here. If nothing changes, it’s arguably an $8 stock, which isn’t a very impressive return. They are in the middle of a turnaround attempt, which if successful, could turn this into a $12 to 14 stock if its multiples were closer to its industry peers.

Sufficient_Sport5251

Naked selling is illegal. The GME squeeze for example was almost certainly just a massive leverage play by hedge funds that backfired. Now they have sentiment scrubbers that check reddit to make sure they aren’t caught with their pants down. Not saying a bother GME can’t happen, but the AMC rally and now Wendy’s is an example of that shorts are maybe less aggressive

If you do not know, Wendy's Corp is currently in negotiations with Trian Partners, a private equity firm attempting to take WEN private. They are abusing employees (stealing wages via stalled promotions, pausing raises, and severely cutting labor hours while posting jobs on indeed for more than the current pay for on staff employees).
