$RILY looking ripe for a squeeze
Keep in mind that PG&E Corp isn’t a squeeze candidate, it’s too large, too liquid..... Also, $RILY has a history of financial engineering. Make sure there’s no ATM announcement.
$rily whenever i can, i load. This is my bet for a new house. Once $RILY pops and goes back to 12$, my broker will get the job done.
Sorry to ask this. Riley. What’s the ticker for it? RILY?
Over the next few months, I'm expecting some solid moves: Riley (90% conviction for 100% gain) should pop by mid-August, $Anro (80% conviction for 140% gain) in the next couple weeks, $ATHE (75% for 50% gain) sometime in two months, $CING (70% for 200% gain) in three, and $SLS (90% for 600% gain) in four, $PYPD (95% for 100% gain) eoy. When each one jumps, I'll cash out some profits-keeping 20% to stash in my long-term port. The rest of the gains get split between whatever plays are still active.... ignoring my 5% rule, as I'm considering this as one play. As each stock hits, the leftover money keeps cycling forward, giving me more firepower for the next move... I think each move, will be enough of a move, I only need to be right on a few of these. 50:50 shares/call splits on ANRO and SLS RILY 30/70 shares/calls. Everything else is shares only.
I have been in RILY for a while, recently sold most of it at a loss, I dont have great expectations unfortynately
any price targets for you? I am looking at 17 for PCG and hope for 20 RILY I am just watching and learning it but would love a 5-7 dollar spike
Nice picks! 🔥 RILY’s bounce has been interesting lots of eyes on value recovery plays, and PCG has been showing solid strength for a utility. I’ve got small positions too, just feeling them out. Watching volume and follow through closely.
RILY management are all a bunch of fraudsters. Been shorting this shit for a while. Been printing profits. They managed to do a quick pump and dump on APLD shareholders without any of them noticing, which is sad. Anyway, this co is still an okay short at this point. My short has shrined to a pretty small size because the short kept working. At this point I’ll just hold and ride into bankruptcy.
$RILY is one of my favorites! After $HCTI, this is my next play - $RILY
My initial buy is off chart read, short interest, ctb, days to cover, past pumps, and the information they are working to correct issues. BUT I do not know RILY like I knew PLUG so I am in small and looking at more information and listening to others DD
Why exactly would RILY rally? They are losing money faster than you can say "Lambo", they have delayed reporting, they haven't addressed their shareholders at all regarding their shortcomings... Am I missing something?
I am expecting to bring the divident payment back on the table. If this happens, the price will triple within a blink of an eye, because it will open itself to different type of investment strategies including passive income $RILY
$RILY i like what you are saying. It is discussed in many other /r here.
RILY has a good chance of popping this week (I made a post about it) SLS, CING and ATHE are my bio plays.
Ok gotya sorry about that. Thanks for clarifying. I guess you got 7 figure returns on both RILY and ASTS and ended up losing on RILY as well
Also eyeballing RILY has had good news in the past 4 days and has been stagnant the past 2-3 days after a spike. If anyones looking around / researching other stocks. Just thought I'd share. NFA
RILY 5/30 $3.50 calls. Can snag a contract for $6 right now. It’s a shit show but they’ve been on this cycle where they miss filings, come close to delisting, then file and repeat. The stock price has taken an absolute beating but I’ve made a ton of money just playing calls leading up to last chance filing deadlines going back to last April. Has printed every time.
The greatest thing that happened to me last year was a black swan event where I was left holding the bag. Long story shorty a company (RILY) that had a heart attack; I got assigned before the stock price cratered on seriously bad news. The funny thing is that I was excited to see it happen; things 3 standard deviations from the mean are unlikely, but they are not outside of the realm of possibility. No amount of navel gazing compares to what you can learn when it happens to you. I may hit some high IV stocks but I avoid garbage stocks; too many unknowns that diminish the reliability of probabilities. I didn't think RILY was a bad stock, but when the CFO is put on leave, the FTC opens a fresh investigation, and the last few earnings reports get recalled, all numbers get reset and you find yourself in a whole different board game.
WOLF a sleeping semiconductor giant. Aiming to sell the Silicon Carbide Tech to data centers, that could save them. ATOM tech that could improve just about any application using silicon chips. Rezolve AI, Google and Microsoft are partners. They have an LLM model that mimics a salesman, voice enable. This company will kick SOUN's ass. HUMA tech to help people with gunshot wounds and extreme trauma. Heavily shorted but their income is growing. AMPX silicon nanonwire batteries for drones and other small devices. Manufacturing in the US. RILY this is a gamble. Their stock price went down from 50 to 2.67. I loaded up at 2.67, could this well known financial company recover? I don't know.
Uhhhhhh, where’s this coming from? 😂That’s a really bold thing to say when you clearly didn’t do your homework. I’ve been pretty public about my options and how I monetized them. Before I got banned from r/rily, I was pretty public about the ~12 million I made from my puts from playing 3 rounds with RILY. I would have shorted RILY but the cost to borrow and crazy dividend yield made it not possible. After that, I’ve been on the quantum stock subreddits talking about my puts, calls, and shorting. Even as recently as a few hours ago, I’ve been talking about puts and calls for APLD. Choosing between shorting and buying puts or doing both really depends on several factors such as put pricing, the catalyst, the timing, dividend yield, and the cost to borrow. After my puts in RILY, I didn’t have a position in RILY for several months as I was focusing on other shorts. Recently, the cost to borrow no longer became a concern for me so I’m now in to direct shorting RILY. Buying the puts in RILY now would probably be a shitty idea given the high cost and improbability to monetize these puts. I’ll milk them to bankruptcy just like I milked CONN to bankruptcy, then APLD is next. If a company is connected to the fraudsters at B Riley, I will find them and short them next. Hope that helps. If you have more questions, I can help.
Exactly right, some really good plays like PLCE, RILY, GRRR I found here based on solid DD and without shilling the same play over and over again. Right now this reminds me of when people were pumping shit stocks for the sake of pumping. I'm not saying that Wolf is a shit stock but for some reason no one is mentioning why their stock price cratered and are only blaming shorts. Shorting doesn't occur without reason and in the case of Wolfspeed there is a reason their stock got shorted. They have a massive debt load, their revenue hasn't been ramping up as expected (which may or may not change) in a niche market while the economy is facing a significant downturn. The chips funding is up in the air, demand for EVs (one of their larger segments has been waning) has been waning and they need to reach an agreement with their debt holders soon. On the positive side they are ramping up their production, they found a good CEO who's been in the space for 20+ years, chips funding may come in another form. Everyone should make their own decisions but screaming about short conspiracies and all that is utter bullshit.
so where does Vicky play a role in this? Are Timmy's absentee parents who allow Vickey to be a douche to Timmy portrayals of the SEC in regards to RILY and WOLF short attacks? :):)
Only the 8th $RILY post from you in 3 days.
That thing is so wrecked, a forced sale or insider panic event is still on the table. A single **8-K from Axos foreclosing** would blow the floor out, RILY smashed through every, even generously applied, LTV threshold you could calculate. Not only that, they are well overdue on the 10-K and have until June 2nd to file. It'll be one spicy dumpster fire of a read. If RILY runs at this point, it is a shortsqueeze.
We should squeeze this little pimple. 40% short interest, #RILY
Ok ha ha, VERY suspicious article just posted in the sub saying SPGC is doing a RS asap... but looking through the article, it's dated today and says SPGC announced a RS today- which they didn't. It's AI generated and just lists info from the meeting we know. This reminded me of how shorts try and push articles about RILY stock going down. BS site or international FUD
RILY is the only play tomorrow
I hope some of you saw my comment last week through all the golf balls flying around. I mentioned $RILY when it was bouncing between $3&$5. The ticker stayed green in a mostly red week and had a good ER. This time last year RILY soared from $16 to $40 after earnings. Not financial advice of course and nothing is ever guaranteed, but it is a good company with fantastic money making spikes in the past. Today I will be celebrating my Birthday with a bottle of Johnnie Blue in my hot tub and will see you heathens for the bell tomorrow. Cheers
CTM - 100m contract, big catalyst there for a gap up. RILY - just playing it for earnings so there might be a nice squeeze.
RILY high probability of a squeeze and CTM received 100m contract late Friday so not yet priced in.
What's the situation with RILY?
CTM and RILY are on my bingo card this week.
I’m in because I missed RILY had calls on my watch list and totally forgot to make the buy, and got screwed on PLUG 2/28 calls
So looking at the data, the number of shorted shares and the Daily Short Volume data, there's still likely to be more covering on Monday. The borrow rate has also increased. Schwab has increased it from 15% on the 26th to 19.50% on the 28th. Interactive Brokers has increased it from 20% on the 24th to 32% on the 28th (that's a big jump). This will likely force any remaining shorts to cover. However, the covering will happen early morning (i.e. 3am-4am). So it's hard to tell if any covering will have an affect on the price. Here's the downside: On most, if not all, brokerages RILY isn't a 24/5 traded stock. Shorts usually cover early morning, and most often at the bid or mid price. This combination of early covering at the bid/mid and limited pre-market volume, allows them to cover large volumes of shares without significant price action. Covering at the bid/mid actually lowers the stock price quickly after they've covered. Below is an example of shorts covering at 3am on ENVB on the morning of 2/26. These are 1 minute candles. The first green candle on the left is the last after-hours trade on 2/25. It closed at $2.08. The second green candle is at 3am on 2/26. Shorts covered 162,602 shares at the bid/mid in that single candle. After one minute, the price drops, each green candle is covering and each red candle after it is the price dropping because the bid/mid price has created a large bid/ask spread, and because of limited pre-market volume, the price keeps dropping. The last red candle on the right is at 3:20am. It closed at $2.07. All of those green candles combined (starting with the 2nd one) is over 1 million shares (exactly 1,017,913 shares) shorts covered over the span of 20 minutes, without increasing the stock price. Its this type of activity that puts retail traders at a disadvantage, and allows institutional traders to make trades that have very little downside risk. ENVB was a $2 stock and had 14.4% short interest with 1 Day to cover and an 18% borrow rate as over close on 2/25. That's a risky trade, but they didn't actually have any risk in it, because of this kind of activity. https://preview.redd.it/s583xaj3v1me1.png?width=468&format=png&auto=webp&s=1c251dd0b905ff818187759e1799e870806efb98
Wait until you get hit with a black swan event (3 sigma from the mean) before you start counting all of them chickens. This right here is what kills even experts and trading houses; the chances for 3 standard deviations from the mean is really small, falling beyond 99.7% of cases. But they do happen and because of the oversize impact they can throw a hell of a monkey wrench on your best laid plans. Mine was RILY. Early last year they came out of a SEC investigation squeaky clean, with such a jump on the share price that created a ton of volatility. Long story short for months I milked them on a weekly basis as if it was free money. That is, until last August when out of the blue they suspended dividends, reported an out of the blue $14 - $15 per share loss (on a $20 share), which was mostly from loan write-offs reportedly tied to The Franchise Group and its ex-CEO Brian Kahn. Oh and by the way the CFO is put on leave while the SEC opened another investigation for the improper loan and lack of disclosures. I got assigned at $18 shortly before the company hit the lowest share price in a decade around $5. If you are just selling and collecting them premiums, you need to broaden your skillset to include hedging for oversize risks you are bound to hit sooner or later. How big is your options bankroll? $2,965 doesn't mean much without knowing how much money you are deploying.
Loving the attention on RILY! It has slipped to #2 on our Watchlist but still very strong scores. I've got a position with some short puts, so it's a pretty safe trade. https://preview.redd.it/1zouv1nanxle1.png?width=1116&format=png&auto=webp&s=7b6bd69a5426cdc400390a9c508e538baf31410f
I’ve been following most of the saga and went pretty large into it in recent months. It’s one of the rare times that people say “a big bad short is unfairly manipulating the stock” that’s actually true, and the evidence is laid out in public. My thesis is that RILY has been properly navigating their way out of the mess, and that every claim and prediction by the major short seller has proven to be false for a year now. It doesn’t mean they’re a secret powerhouse, as the swindle they got involved tore a big hole in this company. But they seem to be getting back in shape one week at a time. This was a 40 year trusted company, a $30 stock paying a reliable 5% yield before the fraud happened. They’ve come a very long way in recoverying so far, and if they can complete that task, this is some very deep value indeed. For bona fides, I was writing about this potential recovery back in Dec and Jan.
Time to inverse this. Shorting RILY.
The [**RILY** set up](https://old.reddit.com/r/pennystocks/comments/1j00z1o/february_28_2025/mf8mgt8/) continues to look strong.
> someone post RILY earlier That would have been me. It’s poised for a gnarly squeeze.

After a year in the doghouse, the beleaguered and heavily shorted RILY is started to break out from the bottom. Since then they’ve severed ties with the bad partner and have begun filing the postponed financials. They’ve done the writes downs and paid off old lenders. New lenders have come in and are providing both credit and equity investment. Every lender and bond has been paid in full and on time. Next week Riley is giving their first real investor update in a year, promising to reveal their plans to get back to business, similar to when the stock was trading $30+
Just remember the more it keeps dumping, the harder it will be to squeeze. Now you’ll have to deal with selling pressure of bag holders. Look for squeezes that are actively happening and still in an uptrend. For instance RILY still looks strong despite some pullback today. This is one that could squeeze farther. As soon as it starts to break below that upward trend line, get out of it and wait for the downtrend to be over
Keep your eyes on $RILY. Squeeze potential with good news. There could be a dip as the issued 1.8 million shares at $5.14 as part of the financial deal. But the last time this stock went to the $40 range, could be a good one. NFA also not a bot lol
Bought more spgc... That and RILY and TSLQ are all I'm playing with today.
ayo RILY wtf +100% in two days? 
RILY squeeze a higher probability
RILY squeeze is starting to catch fire
RILY squeeze on deck
RILY 👀 You getting ready to squeeze the shorts boy?
Pretty much how my $RILY hold went after failing to put a stop loss at $4. Oops.
RILY is squeezing. 0 shares available to short on Fintel
RILY short squeeze in effect. Should get very interesting between now at Mar 3 when they are doing an investor update...
RILY not a penny stock anymore
I saw how that works with RILY today… I’d be happy to see that same foot dragging before filing pay off the same way here.
I'll say again for the deaf ones. #RILY Your welcome
SOC, POAI, RCAT, PSEC, RILY, LMT, KRKNF, to name a few. I had way too many questions to state here.
This is what ChatGPT says As of February 22, 2025, B. Riley Financial, Inc. (NASDAQ: RILY) has not received a delisting notice from Nasdaq. However, the company has faced compliance challenges related to delayed financial filings: * **August 21, 2024:** Received a delinquency notification from Nasdaq due to the delayed filing of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2024.[prnewswire.com](https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/b-riley-financial-announces-notification-of-delinquency-with-nasdaq-302229776.html?utm_source=chatgpt.com) * **November 20, 2024:** Received an additional delinquency notification for not timely filing the Quarterly Reports for the periods ended June 30 and September 30, 2024.[stocktitan.net](https://www.stocktitan.net/news/RILY/b-riley-financial-provides-update-on-quarterly-filing-0lp8ygztby2t.html?utm_source=chatgpt.com) These notifications do not immediately affect the company's Nasdaq listing. B. Riley was required to submit an updated compliance plan by December 5, 2024, and, if accepted, Nasdaq could grant an extension until February 17, 2025, to regain compliance. [sec.gov](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1464790/000121390024102939/ea0222623-8k_briley.htm?utm_source=chatgpt.com) Additionally, on January 21, 2025, B. Riley announced the full redemption of its 6.375% Senior Notes due February 28, 2025 (NASDAQ: RILYM). These notes will be delisted and cease trading on the redemption date. [brileyfin.com](https://brileyfin.com/blog/b.riley-financial-announces-full-redemption-of-february-2025-senior-notes?utm_source=chatgpt.com) As of the latest available data, B. Riley Financial's common stock (RILY) remains listed on Nasdaq.
Oh, RILY is a fun one I've been looking at. It has a group of fairly high profile short sellers after it (Marc Cohodes et al.), got entangled in securities fraud legal proceedings after a *really* bad investment, and faces the prospect of bankruptcy after this year (10-Q report says they should get through this year - it's not audited though). The potential catalysts are essentially - cleared in ongoing legal proceedings involving the Franchise Group (their shit investment); obtaining enough cash and prospects of profitability after 2026. A brief rundown of how RILY got to where it is (see r/RILYstock for more recent news): https://www.institutionalinvestor.com/article/2cpgaejc45gocvoqb1ngg/corner-office/how-b-riley-garnered-the-biggest-short-interest-of-2023 Not a stock for the faint of heart, but will explode like crazy if it does escape bankruptcy and fraud allegations. My view is that it's unlikely RILY committed fraud, but the lack of due diligence and oversight is nearly just as bad; it's a coin flip. That said, short sellers have been trying to kill it for a while and haven't succeeded.
I’m holding 500 shares at $3.65. If this thing happens it’s gonna explode. I fucking hate Chodes but his misinformation campaign has worked. RILY has taken a beating like no other. Here the thing; I have been in touch with investors relations and you will have to trust me bro, I am more than optimistic that Bryant Riley is gonna make the shorts pay. Hopefully it happens on this round of the fight. I can’t see their stock slipping too much more from here.
RILY gonna pop AH already halted once today and good entry point
RILY just started squeezing, check that first big candle
Covered straddles can be risky if the stock price moves significantly. What's your plan if RILY jumps or tanks? Also, 4% weekly return on the puts sounds high - make sure you understand the annualized implications and if that's sustainable. [Option Pricing](https://www.investopedia.com/terms/o/optionpricing.asp) and [Covered Call Writing](https://www.investopedia.com/terms/c/coveredcall.asp) might be helpful reads.
Be warned; high volatility weeklies are a great way to learn discipline, and the way your learn it is by paying for that schooling dearly. One of my most awesome lessons was to see what falling off three standard deviations from the mean; got assigned at $18 for a stock that went to $5. Up to that point everything was going stupidly well and I was looking forward to see it fall, and that did it. I was going to splain standard deviations from the mean but you are better off googling "statistics standard deviation". If you are not familiar with the concept the rest of this will not make sense. So I had been wheeling RILY financial, it had been doing amazing for me, the stock was a $20 I think, I had a weekly put at $18 which I think was under .20 Delta, which in a very imperfect way it is taken to mean sub 20% chances of getting assigned. That Friday the stock went to $17, no big deal, switching to covered calls. But then the next week the CFO is put on leave, the FTC opens an investigation, clains of impropriety surface, the last few quarterly reports are recalled for review, and it quickly look like RILY is about to become insolvent. The company went from perfectly fine to about to go bankrupt in a few days. The stock I paid $18 was now worth $5 and looking like it would go down to $0. The thing about options is that what is highly unlikely (a stock moving from $18 to $5) is still possible, that was probably within 5 standard deviations from the mean, a very ridiculously small probability. Just about time you see some expert imploding is because of that; he didn't hedge for the possibility that there are outcomes that will be waaaaaay off what's normal. For us mere mortals trying to learn, because we don't see those often we don't even know that is something we need to be afraid of and hedge for.
This is what it gave me.. i asked for 5 … i looked up each and keyed on BMEA…i used follow up prompts like evaluation of trends, sentiment, forecast, and earnings…. As of early February 2025, the following stocks have the highest percentages of their float sold short: 1. B. Riley Financial Inc. (RILY): Approximately 60.26% of its float is sold short. 2. Beyond Meat Inc. (BYND): Approximately 49.18% of its float is sold short. 3. Medical Properties Trust Inc. (MPW): Approximately 44.48% of its float is sold short. 4. Biomea Fusion Inc. (BMEA): Approximately 42.85% of its float is sold short. 5. GigaCloud Technology Inc. (GCT): Approximately 31.17% of its float is sold short.
There’s numerous dates and events and conditions. They postponed some SEC filings while sorting things out, and there’s also obligations to file certain things for NASDAQ listings, so each time they file a 10Q or 10k or quarterly it’s an “event”. There were two such deadlines for February and they successfully filed one ahead of the (extended) deadline and another is expected around Feb 14? maybe 17? They issue bonds, and each series has maturity dates. With those, as each maturity comes closer and their disclosures show they have the cash to redeem them, that’s a catalyst, or if they retire them early for a discount, that’s an event. Part of restructure they suspended their common dividend last year, which was sizeable. They also recently elected to suspend dividends on preferreds. Suspending dividend on preferreds is not a common thing but it’s within their right. They seem to have done it to reinforce their commitment to making good on their ongoing debts and maintaining healthy cash levels. Their lenders have them on something like a monthly (I think?) check in, so each month that lenders reiterate they’re happy is kind of an event. There’s pending sales of a couple of their troubled assets including the one they deemed worthless. I think it goes on auction soon, and during the restructure they kept something like a quarter of that, so whatever it sells for, they’ll see 25% of that. A private equity firm made an investment during this past year and there’s a rumored situation where that firm may buy out one of the lender’s debt position. On an ongoing basis there’s lots of meat for options experts to chew on. There’s lots of metrics showing large short interest and no shares to borrow at certain key levels like $5. Then you can see frenetic volumes on expiration dates creating closes of $4.99, that kind of thing. I’m aware that it’s common for people to whine that their favorite stock is being held down by anonymous boogeyman shorts. However I almost never do that. But in this case it’s not really debateable. The shorts are known and they publish what they’re doing and their actions are verifiable. They’re betting that RILY goes bankrupt and have priced it accordingly. If RILY stumbles, they win. But it’s coming on a year and their claims keep getting knocked down. I think they said bankrupt by April 2024?
Time for my biweekly chat on “grown up” penny stocks, ones that are acfually operating and viable, with potential to graduate. If you’re looking for two day ten-baggers, stop reading now. But these are ones that could conceivably double or triple or better within say a calendar year. They’re risky, yes, but they’re not roulette spins: * **BFLY Butterfly Network** sells a hand held ultrasound scanner. By putting ultrasound function onto a microchip, they brought the price down to a level where any nurse or doctor or even med student can have one in their pocket and just plug into a laptop. Competitor is around $10k, BFLY’s is $3k. BFLY integrates with clinic and hospital systems, so the patient data and scans flow seamlessly. All approved, tested, working. Released their 2nd gen product which has much improved image quality and it’s apparently selling well. * **SENS** Senseonic - similar to the meme GCTK that’s been PnD here a lot, but SENS is years ahead. SENS monitor is also long term, 1 year versus GCTK’s proposed 2 year. SENS completed all the testing and approvals that GCTK will need years to complete and SENS is already on to their third generation of product. Has actual products and revenues. * **STEM** integration of energy sources, including alternatives. Has been around for years, one of the survivors of the S-P-A-C era. Share price got destroyed when solar stocks did, then got destroyed again after the election. But their fundamentals haven’t really changed. Businesses and residents hate having high electricity bills, bills which are only going much higher as data centers and others hog up the available electricity. STEMS can thrive on that. Recent DD here says fair price is around $4.73, yet the stock is only priced at 0.59 * **RILY** a 30+ year financial company and distressed rollup specialist. They do financing and also buy weak companies to renovate and sell. They bought some trash from a con artist who is now headed to trial, blowing up their balance sheet. A crazed short seller has blitzed them with disinformation, driving the stock from $60 to $5. After a year of attacks, one by the one the short seller’s allegations have been disproven. The company is coming up on a year of being “clean and sober” financially. Their lenders remain steadfast and they’ve been acing their debt and filings. Strong potential for a squeeze this year.
$CYN, $ACET, $NIVF, $RILY.......next week watchlist
I have been lucky with stock price increases too so not sure if they are still in the sweet spot range for you but: RGTI LUNR LTBR RILY (stable coin lol) Just tried to spot some Im fine holding a bit longer if things go south. Taking account the premium/share price & if its weekly or monthly dte's.
RILY is a peak degen gamble next week for those of you who hate money. They have until 2/17 to meet compliance and are being priced in that they will not file 10Q in time resulting in another delay and likely getting unlisted. However, if they do file the 10Q by next week the stock should raise pretty dramatically and potentially cause a short squeeze. I’m going 5.5c 2/21. Don’t listen to me though all I do is lose money and it will probably not work xD
Being right and not going in heavier. I was shorting a stock called RILY and I only ended up allocating 7% of my portfolio to the short. I could have brought the allocation significantly higher and made so much more. Still, buying puts on RILY was one of my biggest return days ever. But I regret not sticking to my research and doubting myself.
37% short is very very high. However, there are so many stocks traded short heavily, such as RILY,BYND. What ate the other aspect do you look for when you find squeezable stocks?
Recently I was doing amazingly well with b. Rilley Financial, until all hell broke loose. Long story short early this year they came out of an SEC investigation with flying colors and pretty much exonerated, which send the stock flying from a low of $25 or so to a high of $58. With all the volatility I was doing weeklies and while keeping a low delta I was pulling around 1% a week. Heck my approach was conservative enough that I rode that horse from that $58 high down to $18 without being assigned. But then all hell broke loose again. The company suspended dividends after a loan that stunk of insider trading, the SEC came back with another investigation. RILY then recalled the most recent financial fillings and so far delayed the last two. The advisors and I think even their accounting firm dropped them as a client, and that send their financial backers and debt holders into righteous panic. The stock cratered from I had $15.5 puts when the stock was $19.20. That was close to a 20% price difference, with a very conservative Delta of around .10. Delta and statistical probability means nothing when the stock has a heart attack and drops to $5.51... Every option bought me $551 worth of stock for the low-low-price of $1,550, or an instant 64.45% loss. And do read the previous paragraph, it was easy to see that this was not just a temporary blip you could just wait for a recovery. But hey, half of those were on a taxed account so I do get a good chunk of capital losses to offset other option gains. Probability means something may be highly unlikely, but not impossible. You may think "oh, there is only a 5% probability of assignment and even if it happens it can be close enough that I just go from cash covered puts to covered calls". Well that black swan even took all my gains and put me well in the red for RILY. You can diminish some of that risk by either complex options chains, or good old diversification; do not let any company take an oversize slice of your options trades.

I know a bunch of people were posting loss-porn here 6-9 months ago with RILY, but I'm under the impression that we're finally ready to wind down shorts with a move higher. Buy-side volume has picked up significantly (check on-balance volume), while shorts have increased position size over the last month. Fintel says it would take \~18 days to cover based on average daily volume. We saw a downwards inefficiency/selloff, followed by an **upwards** rebound/inefficiency, into a downwards efficient/accumulation, upwards inefficiency, then further downwards accumulation settling at a higher low on progressively lower sell-side volume. Does anyone more well-versed have a reason they strongly disagree with the premise that we're due for at least some solid degree of rebound/short unwinding?
"Buying [$RGTI](https://x.com/search?q=%24RGTI&src=cashtag_click) based on Google’s quantum success is as misguided as believing every TikTok guitarist is the next Taylor Swift. When the hype fades, investors will recall [$RGTI](https://x.com/search?q=%24RGTI&src=cashtag_click) sold equity at $2 just two weeks ago, with more dilution to come rather than true quantum competitiveness. Still in science-project mode, even its biggest cheerleader troubled [$RILY](https://x.com/search?q=%24RILY&src=cashtag_click) has target at $4. Citron not 'throwing rocks at things that shine'—just giving an honest opinion. Was interesting at $1...ridiculous here!" 
RILY CSPs. Those bastards dropped devastating news on 8/12 which caused the stock to drop 50% and it never recovered. I wanted out before the earnings report, and even e-mailed investor relations the week before to get the date for the ER because I wanted to close my positions before then, but all they said is "We will release the earnings with a press release". I knew the risks, but getting rugged premarket on a Monday morning was rough.
$ADTX is looking good, I’m smelling a $RILY squeeze as well. Have both in my account now
RILY keeps going down. Hope you sold u/ykoreaa
I’ve been in KULR for months and am also still bag holding. High hopes for the future I guess. I am in $BCOV $BNOX $TNON $RILY and $GRYP.
