Wonder how many people will actually read it. What wipes out most people is pure greed (IT ALREADY WENT UP 20-30%, BUT DOESNT SEEM TO STOP GOING UP, NO SELL STOP LIMIT LFG TO THE MOON oooh and im back to my entry and down) and FOMO, while disregarding knowledge they should already possess before trying to play with pennies. Regarding the SHO - Pennies are targeted by smaller hedge funds and algos because there are no big boys sitting on pennies and thus there is no big boy to fill in bigger orders and thus its easier to manipulate the price in either direction. Thats also the same reason why you can sometimes see some random shitstocks go up 1000% overnight with no catalysts - wash trading at its best. Initiate the volume spike and let the momentum algos do the rest of the job.

Here's the REG SHO Threshold stocks, from 28 January through yesterday. https://preview.redd.it/l5yd8z0xrirg1.png?width=758&format=png&auto=webp&s=09b46b69007f7ca7bc129a0bf7660f785ae0c5aa This gives you a picture of which ones are under attack, and how badly.

Especially now while the oil biz is burning up! Elons been out of sight out of mind for long enough— he’s got another bait and switch on the way FO’SHO

SkepticalInvestor21

This is solid DD that more people need to understand. The REG SHO list is basically a publicly available warning system that most retail traders completely ignore. Your point about naked shorting in penny stocks is spot on - the sub-$5 space is where a lot of the worst manipulation happens because there's less regulatory scrutiny and lower liquidity makes it easier to move prices. I've seen too many promising penny stocks get absolutely demolished by coordinated short attacks using synthetic shares. The AI approach to processing the historical data is smart. Manually going through 6 months of those FTP files would be brutal, but pattern recognition is exactly what AI excels at. Have you noticed any correlation between how long a stock stays on the threshold list and how long it takes to recover (if it ever does)? One thing I'd add: even if a stock comes off the threshold list, that doesn't mean the manipulation stops. Sometimes they'll just dial it back to stay under the 10,000 share FTD limit while still suppressing the price. It's like they learned to game the system that was supposed to prevent them from gaming the system. Great writeup - this should be required reading for anyone trading pennies.

Red = SHO Threshold List, do not trade Blue = Pop warning showing up on the weekly interval as well

REEMFMetalHead

It's on the SHO Threshold List. This kind of price action . . . is what that means.

REEMFMetalHead

It lives on the SHO Threshold List. It's been on it everyday for months.

REEMFMetalHead

Both are on the SHO Threshold List.

REEMFMetalHead

ABTC about to pop. It's on the SHO Threshold List, but I made an exception.

REEMFMetalHead

No. It's on the SHO Threshold list. Stop shilling that one.

Okay, this week's strongest candidates: https://preview.redd.it/l6i32b7fhhmg1.png?width=305&format=png&auto=webp&s=da46837e4988f7e0a690bd11c5fbbdc83332e853 I filtered out: 1. SHO Threshold List stocks 2. Anything trading under 100k volume, and that's being generous. 3. Anything without weekly confirmation Additional filtering is on you. Take GLGI, for example. It's trading at .33 cents. I normally try to avoid the stocks that are trading that low, but man it sure looks tasty. Disclaimer: 1. I have a much longer list of other stocks that are also due to pop really hard. But the likelihood of them being pumpendumps is going to be higher. 2. Don't just blindly jump in on these. I'm usually super early, but I've been working to close in the timeframe to within a week now. Jump in if you see these bottoming, but not a moment sooner. 3. This is based purely on technicals, and sorted by volume. 4. It's not uncommon to see them beginning to pop ahead of schedule. I haven't figure out yet, whether or not to trust them when they do that. I'll be spending all of March studying this list and figuring that part out.

REEMFMetalHead

This, right here, is why I won't trade anything on the SHO Threshold list.

REEMFMetalHead

My guess is someone opened up an investigation into abusive naked shorting. So, better unwind it all immediately. This one was on the SHO Threshold list everyday for about 2 months.

It's on the SHO Threshold list. It's not going to the moon.

#TLDR --- Ticker: ASTI Direction: Up (Monday Volatility) Prognosis: Buy shares, sell tranches at $8, $9, and $10 Catalyst: Day 13 on NASDAQ SHO list forcing short covers + Armistice Capital buying 10% stake Risk Profile: "Going vertical for half an hour or dropping through the floor"

DeuceGnarly

ASTI - ascent solar tech... Here is my DD for Monday: I'm all about Space - and I love their thin, lightweight, flexible panels. They are NOT in great financial shape though, leading to very high short interest. There are multiple coming events that should help them significantly though, so I've held a small long position for a few weeks. The short volume ratio has approached 50% recently... and ASTI is on the NASDAQ SHO list (https://bookmap.com/blog/navigating-regulation-sho-understanding-short-selling-rules) and short sellers must locate shares to cover their short positions if the stock remains listed for 13 days. Today was day 12 that ASTI was on the list. Monday, short sellers will be forced to close their positions at the market. Enter Armistice Capital - who according to this 13G (https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1350102/000117266126001267/xslSCHEDULE\_13G\_X01/primary\_doc.xml) just purchased \~10%, or just over 386k shares. There are also a recent flood of $5.50 warrants, however the price has been north of that price for a bit - maintaining value above that, and if you examine the charts, you'll notice large green candles at dips, pushing the price back up. It looks to me like Armistice or other institutional buyers are keeping the price above the warrants. During all this, short sales are making up 50% of daily trading. I don't expect this to result in a multiday GME style squeeze, but I do expect a lot of wild volatility Monday with high peaks. I've scooped up $25k, and plan on selling a little at $8, then a little more at $9, then a little more at $10... I'll be watching with half of it to play with in real time. Hopefully I don't lose it all by 9:30.

REEMFMetalHead

That's why I look at the SHO Threshold list. All the time. Because those are going to be the stocks that behave that way.

REEMFMetalHead

Here's what I have on radar: https://preview.redd.it/ou008wbc07kg1.png?width=1047&format=png&auto=webp&s=ebebe088d4b24a0c035e945960b19d37081b25e3 I added some adjustments to my indicator. Each one of these are scheduled to have a +10% or greater day in the timeframe given. The Phase D1 list isn't included because it's two stocks: AREB and LESL. Disclaimer: This is designed to enhance my indicator, which has been 2-3 weeks early. These lists, however, are constructed using a different method than what I normally use. So, it's *purely experimental*. Red flags: These are frequent visitors on the SHO Threshold List. They are subject to abusive naked shorting and thus, don't behave as they should. I simply don't trade those. I really hope this works. Fingers crossed.

REEMFMetalHead

Careful, it's another SHO Threshold frequent visitor.

REEMFMetalHead

It keeps popping up on the SHO Threshold list.

I work at a large financial institution and I recently had this company land on my desk. I spent a week doing an in-depth analysis of the business and fundamentals, not looking at the stock technicals other than the overall decline. This company is terrible, please do yourself a favor and gamble on SPY calls instead. A summary of my full DD is below, and if you’re thinking of investing do yourself a favor and read this. Then double check my work yourself via the 10Q, recent 8Ks / PRs, and general research. Fundamentals: Revenue growth alone is NOT a sign of a company being successful. Take a look at their most recent 10Q- this company is hemorrhaging cash. Revenue is up a couple hundred percent, sure. However- NXXT is positing itself a next-gen microgrid developer, with wireless EV charging, BESS, and solar all in one. They have not generated a single cent from this business. All of their revenues have come from their legacy mobile refueling business, which is not something that will make this company successful long-term. They have no progress on their next-gen technologies. They haven’t developed a prototype microgrid to prove real-world efficacy. They have a couple of patents and some “agreements” with other early stage energy companies for BESS and solar technology licensing, and yet they haven’t spent or received anything from these deals. Until dollars start to change hands, these agreements don’t mean anything. Fundamentals TLDR- The speculative part of this business where retail investors see promise is entirely speculative. You’re better off throwing it all on red. Financials Calling the financials of NXXT a “dumpster fire” would be a compliment. They are at serious risk of entering bankruptcy in the next 12-24 months. Following their most recent share purchase agreements at the end of 2025, they were able to get some cash on their balance sheet in the range of 2.5-7.5 million. What people don’t see, however, is that these SPAs are due as debt THIS YEAR, at effectively an 18% interest rate. Total due just on these SPAs in 2026 is ~$9M. They’re also being sued for defaulting on a previous $5M loan from Cohen Global Energy. In total, they have $24.7M in debt due in 2026. And we haven’t even talked about their cash burn from operations. NXXT had a $45M net loss from ops. at the end of Q3 last year; and that number will be higher when FY results are released. They have a 17.23M stockholders deficit. In addition to the $~25M in short term debt, they also have another $10M in current liabilities (also due in the next 12 months). They burned $14M in cash from ops, and are operating at a working capital deficit of $30M. Financials TLDR: this company is NOT profitable, and are not even close to becoming so. If they don’t go bankrupt in the next 2 years I’ll donate my 401K to a wildlife charity. Ownership NXXT is 66.5% insider owned, largely as a function of their constant share purchase agreements used to keep the company *barely* afloat. Institutions only own under 4% of total SHO. If you think billion and trillion dollar financial institutions are missing something that only you can see, seriously think about what that says. Their SPA agreements also function to constantly dilute the stock, thereby decreasing its value. The CEO himself has more than a 50% ownership stake. No wonder he sounds so confident about the future of his company. Stock Performance This company is 12 months out from a reverse merger and the stock is down 75% on the year. The only reason it’s not lower is unfounded retail hype. Check the 1Y chart, not the 15m or 5m. Summary- TLDR NXXT is a dumpster fire from a financial perspective. They have no proof that they can execute their long term business plan, and they’re a significant bankruptcy risk. Their revenue growth comes from mobile fuel delivery, and despite the increase they still had a net loss of 60M by the end of Q3 2025. Save your money, throw it all on red at the roulette wheel instead.

Father had a SHO growing up and it was such a terribly built car. Needed maintenance all the time.

I'm always commenting on wanting to own a Ford Taurus SHO, sad day when american autos won't make the sedans of old

GerdinBB

The fusion was just starting to get good too. I'm no sedan guy, but a Fusion titanium AWD with heated and cooled leather seats and good infotainment would have been my ideal car before kids. Or a Taurus SHO AWD. I was raised with a disdain for Ford and sedans, but around 2015 those two models caught my eye.

REEMFMetalHead

Yep, I excluded it from my list because it's on the SHO Threshold list. I will not trade those.

Day 2 of the experiment: one of them seems to be creeping up already. As for as ETHZ? I might need to check the SHO Threshold list or something. https://preview.redd.it/9nm0tfwtwpig1.png?width=322&format=png&auto=webp&s=bfe818c79df3cc7cea92ef822b5c3e2d65956d27

Here’s the quick version: * FTD happens when a seller doesn’t deliver shares by settlement (T+2) after a trade. * Common in short selling, especially when shares are hard to borrow. * Reg SHO is the SEC rule that tracks and limits this to, ineffectively, prevent naked short selling. Key Reg SHO points: * Threshold Securities List: stocks with lots of persistent FTDs. * Close-out requirement: brokers must buy shares to cover FTDs after a set time. * Goal: market integrity and stopping abuse.

REEMFMetalHead

I've put this out there a few times now. It's on the SHO Threshold list.

Last few days so red Reg SHO rule kicked in so no short selling today

https://preview.redd.it/bjszhdh9uphg1.png?width=1945&format=png&auto=webp&s=c615a63a1449f0e2692be83ac57df2caa81a8af2 Here's a more detailed public service announcement on JTAI. JTAI entered bullish conditions around December 19th, at around $1.05. Since that time, it's been smacked down over and over again, with so many failure to deliver shares (FTDs) being logged repeatedly. It's appeared on the SHO Threshold list over and over again. In a fair market, this should've popped at 1.05; by then, it was already way, way oversold. If it does pop, well . . . I'll be damned. But I'm really seeing the same behavior as ECDA. It's going to zero. If you have a chance to get out with profit, absolutely take that opportunity and don't look back.

REEMFMetalHead

JTAI is a major SHO Threshold List resident. It's being cellar boxed.

Day-Chicken

Nope look into the shorts and the volume on the 23rd of Dec. Positions have been constantly 'resetting' trying to avoid the REG SHO. However it's been on the REG SHO for over 2 weeks and rule 204 is about to drop. Not to mention rumors of Eli Lily in the mix

REEMFMetalHead

JTAI appeared on the SHO Threshold list six times since January 15th. It's been heavily, heavily shorted and subdued.

REEMFMetalHead

So, question for you wonderful people: how do you filter your stocks? Take this list, for example: https://preview.redd.it/bwyvq95ymtgg1.png?width=318&format=png&auto=webp&s=d5eb6fb647e19b87622f9cac54243557ff7e9231 So, these are the ones that I've identified as due to pop soon. Anytime from now, to about 2 weeks out, max. There's some in this list though, that will definitely be slapped down. I don't have a way of figuring those out yet. The best that I've been able to do, is eliminate any that are on the SHO Threshold list. Do you guys look at things like market cap, profitability, etc.? What do you like to scan for?

REEMFMetalHead

It's being taken to the cellar. It's been on the SHO Threshold list 8 times this month. Abusive illegal naked shorting. They're just rolling over the FTDs until it gets to zero. Hate to be the breaker of bad news. It might spike once or twice, but it will be super short-lived. Minutes. So, set a trailing stop.

Day-Chicken

AKAN is my third behind EVTV and VRME. All on the REG SHO, all coming up on T+13 just like BNAI did

Day-Chicken

EVTV on the REG SHO coming up on rule 204(force closed). It going to rip. This part of the reason BNAI did what it did. Also means no new short positions can be opened by MM. VRME is in a similar situation. Loaded here too.

REEMFMetalHead

The following stocks have appeared on the SHO Threshold List for the last (indicated number of days) over the last 4 weeks (18 days): https://preview.redd.it/xhuow78bxkfg1.png?width=318&format=png&auto=webp&s=063cec31dd84cf23a8e61c96881616af10db11fe This pulls them into one of two extremes: either don't trade those because they're being cellar boxed, or, they're really good short-squeeze setups.

-eShTuPiD

He's been wrong 100% if the time, he just got lucky with BYND. But the price for JTAI being this low right now I honestly think it's oversold and time for a reversal. It's also on the Reg SHO list so it's possible for a beautiful short squeeze to happen. I threw 2k In today and if it drops below .30 I'm Throwing another 5k.

OpeDefinitely

Don't do it. Depreciating asset, insurance will be insane, etc. If you want a fast & fun sedan that's cheaper, get a Taurus SHO or even a police taurus w/ the 3.5 twin turbo. Similar power/torque & great AWD system.

Responsible-Library8

The 48W data was great. The drop due to dealer exposure is what caused the average retail investor to think it was "mid". Look at the attention pemvidutide has gotten from reputable sources (scientist, academic journals, analyst, FDA). Following 48W data, they recieved BTD for P3. ALT's milestone catalyst have been muted and my above post explains why. Also Dec 19th Reg-SHO hit, supporting the abuse of shorting on the stock to prevent it from running away from dealers control that was already maxed out.

ELAB was added to the Nasdaq SHO short sale restriction list. Maybe we'll see a squeeze. https://www.nasdaqtrader.com/trader.aspx?id=regshothreshold

The claim that FDA approval is “virtually certain” just isn’t supported by the facts. This write-up treats trading activity, short interest, borrow rates, and REG SHO as proof of efficacy or approvability. None of that has anything to do with whether a drug works or gets approved. REGAL is an event-driven Phase 3 trial in AML CR2 maintenance with overall survival as the primary endpoint. As of Dec 26, 2025, the CRO reported 72 events, with final analysis at 80 events, and the company has said it remains fully blinded to outcomes. Until that data reads out with a clear OS benefit, acceptable safety, and a clean regulatory package, FDA approval is speculation, not a conclusion. The TAM math is also misleading. Quoting 24,000 patients per year for “AML CR2” conflates total AML incidence with CR2 maintenance eligibility. About ~22,000 new AML cases per year is the entire AML population, not the much smaller subset that relapses, achieves CR2, and is eligible for maintenance. CR2 is a subset of a subset, and the true eligible pool is meaningfully smaller and variable, which materially impacts valuation. Bottom line: this reads like a hype post built on market mechanics and inflated assumptions, not a grounded biotech investment thesis. The real bull case here is simple: REGAL needs to show a statistically and clinically meaningful OS benefit. Everything else being cited is noise until that happens.

Yung_Ceejay

1. There are no sure wins ever, claiming something else is straight up dishonest. See for yourself what chance of success you assign to the trial and what the expected return is from this market cap and decide what risk/reward ratio you deem realistic. 2. Institutional ownership is at an all time high, check Fintel for all the relevant data. This is not a retail hype, retail jumped on the train after institutions started putting pressure on the shorts. This 500M market cap stock has seen 20M of volume for several days in a row. The prime suspect for the short manipulation here is Anson Funds, check out marketfrauds.to for an in depth look at their previous activities. They aquired a warrant position through dilutive funding , this enables them to sell calls against their warrants and use warrant exercises to close their short positions, this has been going on since 2018. Use your favourite LLM to screen for previous times SLS was on the REG-SHO treshold list and search for SEC filings and changes in free float, you can see for yourself the overlap in timeframes between fail-to-deliver spikes and warrant exercise. The slow and steady climb from November lows along with massive call buying caused Anson to dig themselves into a hole with algorithmic shorting and delta hedging. They are in a situation where they are forced to keep shorting, otherwise the price will spike and the large call OI will cause a gamma-squeeze and blow up their naked short position as the shorts+calls greatly exceed the outstanding warrants... Don't trust people on the Internet, do your own research, search Fintel, read on marketfrauds.to and Trustnodes about Ansons exploits, check the quarterly reports... Invest according to your own DD, buy puts if you must but for the love of god do not short unless you want to blow up your account!

NeglectedDuty

70mm shares implied on all the calls outstanding, 40mm short, CTB is 200-600%, and just appeared on REG SHO yesterday - amazing set up!

NeglectedDuty

Excellent write up. The irony is the delay in the study's completion is a huge positive - the OS on the GPS arm with practically no side effects or other negatives is looking to be incredible and drive an HR below 0.5-0.6 even for the sample size they are using. Also of note are the recent insider purchases by a few of the board members, the quality and caliber of the KOLs involved .... The short interest, CTB, and REG SHO dynamics with the JPM HC conference coming up should make for a fun January!

TherealCarbunc

Max pain this upcoming week is $4.5 which suggests we should see some release on the pinning idk what your cost basis is but it may be a time to trim if you wanted to free up capital. It's also been on the REG SHO list for nearly 3 weeks now due to continued FTDs (14 days consecutive trading days), has a high CTB and is still pretty heavily shorted. All points to me that it should pop at some point

OutlandishnessUsed24

Short answer: **YES** — the entire FTD analysis IS the naked shorting thesis. FTDs are the paper trail of naked shorts. **BUT the trigger isn't "cost" — it's regulatory.** # Naked Shorts vs Legitimate Shorts |Type|Borrow Fee|Hold Forever?|Trigger| |:-|:-|:-|:-| |Legitimate Short|3.2%/yr|Yes (if affordable)|Margin calls| |**Naked Short**|$0|**NO**|**T+35 deadline**| Naked shorting is "free" (no borrow fee) — that's the appeal. But it creates a **regulatory obligation**. T+35 = mandatory delivery under SEC Reg SHO. Not optional. **The trigger isn't "when it gets expensive." It's "when the calendar says T+35."** # Evidence in FLWS 1. **Massive FTDs**: Oct: 3.68M | Dec 16-18: 527K 2. **SI > Constrained Float**: 9.44M short vs \~7-10M available = 94-135% SI 3. **FINRA Exempt Spike**: Dec 10 had 170K (7.4σ anomaly) — MMs helping suppress. By Dec 16: 23K (normalized) 4. **October Roll**: 8,240 options + 3M shares to "reset" FTDs → this December crisis # The Four Triggers (All In Model) NAKED SHORTS → T+35 DEADLINE → PRICE RISES → GAMMA HEDGING → MARGIN CALLS → SQUEEZE # Counterintuitive Truth Naked shorting actually HELPS the squeeze — it increases buy-back obligations, creates trackable deadlines, and leaves a paper trail. They're not escaping. They're creating future obligations while we accumulate.

They could have just called it a Taurus if they wanted to keep a legacy name. And then the top power trim could have been the Taurus SHO. But no, that would have been too hard.

Difficult_Winner_777

Off REG SHO does not mean the float expanded or that the setup is over. The threshold list is a settlement symptom and it can clear without the underlying supply constraint changing. HKD went on and off REG SHO as well before it mattered. The Dec 9 PRE14A sets Dec 29 as the actual gate. The merger and Series A conversion are vote gated. The authorized share increase is vote gated. The Nasdaq approval items tied to issuing shares beyond the 19.99 percent cap are vote gated. Until that meeting occurs and the follow on filings become effective, the company is not adding a real multi million share tradable float on demand. Meanwhile the mechanics are still tight. Nasdaq short interest is 498,182 shares. Borrow fees remain triple digit around 220 to 268 and locate availability keeps snapping between real prints and near zero. FINRA marked short volume has been living around half the daily tape, sometimes more. REG SHO status changed. The plumbing did not.

OutlandishnessUsed24

Fair point—and you're right that FTDs get rolled all the time without REG-SHO forcing the issue. That's normally true. Here's why FLWS is different: **The October precedent:** On Oct 23, FLWS had 3.68M FTDs hit T+35. They rolled them using 8,240 options contracts + 3M shares of borrow inventory. FTDs "cleared" to zero in one day without any market buying. Classic reset. **Why they can't repeat it:** That trick required ammunition—3M+ shares available to borrow and enough options liquidity to create synthetic locates. Current inventory: 500K. Current $5 strike OI: 3,268 contracts. They used 83% of the resources that made the October roll possible. **The math problem:** 527K FTDs due Dec 16-18 vs 500K shares available. Even if they try to roll, the coverage ratio is 0.95x. In October it was \~1.2x (3.68M FTDs vs \~4.5M available resources). They had margin. Now they don't. **REG-SHO isn't the trigger here—inventory exhaustion is.** You're right that without REG-SHO, enforcement is soft. But rolling requires shares or options liquidity to create locates. When both are depleted, the soft enforcement still hits a wall. Totally respect sidelining—this is speculative either way. Appreciate the engagement.

Pale_Energy2177

I see, thank you for the explanation. I just know FTD’s aren’t enforced strictly until REG-SHO hits, I’ll sideline but I’ll be keeping an eye out to see if your view materializes.

OutlandishnessUsed24

Respectfully, you're thinking about this backwards. The FTD settlement is the unexpected catalyst—and it's not optional. Why retail doesn't matter here: Reg SHO T+35 settlement isn't a choice. When FTDs hit their deadline, the obligation must be satisfied. The buying happens whether Reddit shows up or not. This isn't a momentum play hoping for a pile-on—it's a mechanical settlement cycle with a date on the calendar. The math: 527K shares in visible FTDs due Dec 16-18. 600K shares available to borrow. That's 88% of remaining inventory consumed just to settle what's already on the books—before any retail participation whatsoever. The hidden layer: On October 22-23, 3.68M FTDs appeared then "vanished" overnight with only 2.4M in volume and no price spike. That's mathematically impossible if they actually covered. The evidence suggests they rolled using options (8,240 contracts traded that day) and their deep borrow inventory (3M shares at the time). They can't run that play again. Inventory is down to 600K. If even 25% of those rolled obligations unwind at December OPEX, that's 920K additional shares of forced buying on top of the visible 527K. 1.45M shares of forced demand vs 600K shares available. Retail is a bonus. The settlement mechanics are the catalyst.

Sgbx dark pool activity 📌 What This Table Means (FINRA Dark Pool / Short Volume) Your table shows: FINRA Dark Pool Short Volume How many SGBX shares were shorted off-exchange (dark pools, ATS platforms) on that specific day. FINRA Total Short Volume All short-selling reported by FINRA (including dark pools + off-exchange venues). This is daily short volume, not total short interest — but it’s extremely important for understanding what market makers and short sellers are doing behind the scenes. 📌 Key Observation December 4th, 2025: Dark pool short volume = 3,149,372 shares Total short volume = 5,690,905 shares This is compared to: 386,699 the day before 539,581 on Dec 2 655,321 on Dec 1 👉 That’s a sudden ~10× spike in dark-pool short activity. 🔥 What This Actually Means 1. Short sellers massively moved activity into dark pools This is not normal. This usually means: They were trying to suppress the price action. SGBX went up ~25% that day. When a small-float stock is running: short sellers don’t want to short on the lit market → because that would push the price UP so they route almost everything through dark pools → to hide volume → and reduce visible buying pressure This is a classic “manage the breakout” move. 2. It happened while SGBX was on the Reg SHO threshold list (the pink rows) Pink rows = days when SGBX is on the Reg SHO list. Being on the list means: there are significant fails-to-deliver (FTDs) shorts have failed to deliver borrowed shares market makers or hedge funds are forced to close positions within a limited number of days synthetic short positions might be involved This is the exact condition that leads to: ➤ Forced covering ➤ Panic buying ➤ Short squeeze setups --- 3. The 3.1M dark-pool spike is NOT normal daily shorting This quantity is too large to be: new shorts normal hedge fund activity simple liquidity operations Instead, it usually means: A. Shorts are being recycled internally (“position cycling”) Market makers do this to: avoid triggering a lit-market spike hide short covering delay Reg SHO requirements or B. They were forced to start covering but hid it off-exchange This is very common when: shorts lose control of the float the price is running the float is extremely small there is not enough supply to cover on lit exchanges So they buy internally in the dark pool, then match trades internally to avoid triggering a squeeze. 🔥 What This Means for SGBX Going Forward Bullish Interpretation (for long holders) Massive dark-pool volume + Reg SHO + low float = Shorts are losing control of the trade. This often precedes: forced buy-ins covering waves aggressive volatility sudden upward spikes Bearish Interpretation (from the short seller perspective) They had to shift nearly all short activity off-exchange They couldn’t keep the stock down on the lit market Being on the SHO list means they are under regulatory pressure This setup is dangerous for short sellers 📌 Simple 1-sentence summary The jump from 386k → 3.1M dark-pool shorts in one day means that short sellers and market makers were forced to aggressively move, hide, or recycle short positions while under Reg SHO pressure — a pattern often seen right before major volatility or a short squeeze.

If SGBX holds above $7 through Friday (T+13), it traps shorts at a loss, increases pressure from 500%+ borrow fees, and sets up a potential forced buy-in event due to Reg SHO violations. With no shares available to borrow, and the float locked between 1.44M–2.09M, brokers may be required to cover unsettled short positions at any price, which could trigger a violent second squeeze leg. This scenario is backed by legal market structure.... not just hype, and could drive the stock toward $10–$15+ if volume holds and halts begin stacking.

Totally! Institutions don’t buy tiny amounts of shares in a microfloat to “invest.” They buy them because owning even a few thousand real shares gives them control over the lending pool. Here’s what actually happens: • In a microfloat, every real share is insanely valuable to shorts • Institutions can lend the same share over and over through prime brokers • Each loan generates borrow fees and SGBX’s borrow fee is basically 500 percent APR • So even a small institutional position becomes a cash-printing collateral machine They aren’t buying for “upside,” they’re buying to rent out the rope shorts are hanging themselves with. And yes that means when a ticker hits the Reg SHO Threshold List, like SGBX just did, it means: • Too many failed deliveries • Too many counterfeit shares • Too many shorts recycling supply • Not enough real shares to settle trades That lines up perfectly with the naked short data you linked and with the borrow scarcity we’re seeing. Institutions aren’t betting on the company. They’re betting on the mechanics. A microfloat with a massive short imbalance is the easiest passive-income trade on the planet. NFA.

You need to read more before just randomly post: Under T+1, all short sales — including market makers — must deliver by the next business day. Market maker exemptions only apply to locates, not delivery. If a short fails to deliver, it's an FTD under Reg SHO 204, which requires a mandatory close-out before the next trading day. If they still fail, they lose their MM exemption and can be restricted from shorting entirely. So yes, T+1 absolutely accelerates short-seller pressure and reduces the time window to cover. This is literally SEC's rule, not my interpretation.

FGL - so much potential. Squeeze potential and it was added to the reg SHO list 🙌🏼

Wild_Jackfruit3865

It has 1.4mil SHO!! And a float of around 500-600k shares.. THIS is what no one’s talking about, this thing can explode. SPRB went up 1500%+ with 250x the amount of shares. Let that sink in.

capitalistlovertroll

The REG SHO list is simply a list that isn't regulated other than the fact they have to have a list SRO (self regulating organization) keeps track of. I don't think there are any real teeth to it.. but it should be enforced to actually mean something.

Little-Appearance376

Aren't naked shorters supposed to close their positions today? its been 5 days on the SHO

Prestigious_Use_8688

Interesting. Thank you for sharing the point on the SHO list.

Elite_Alice

$BYND has now spent 4 straight days on the NASDAQ Reg SHO Threshold List — meaning there are massive fails-to-deliver still unresolved. If this continues into Day 5, brokers could face mandatory buy-ins under SEC Rule 203(b)(3). That’s when synthetic shorts must be covered, and forced buying can trigger explosive price action. We’ve already seen ~200M shares traded, nearly 6× the float (32M) — clear proof of algo control and dark-pool routing suppressing the tape. The real demand is hidden, not gone. They’re trying to shake out weak hands before the storm — psychological warfare, not market logic. Add to that new catalysts — Walmart expansion, the new 21g Beyond Burger launch, and an improving balance sheet — and you get a setup that’s one spark away from ignition. They can manipulate prints, but not time. Any day this week — today or tomorrow — could mark the turning point. And when it happens, we’ll be ready.

I personally am not a fan of NFLX programming, and haven't watched anything on it in the last 12 months or so, although my wife is constantly binging something on it. Also, I do not think a streaming platform can be considered a tech company any longer - the tech is pretty basic, that's why it was successfully copied many, many times by everyone who wanted to do it. NFLX ix mostly engaged in producing and licensing of content, and their catalogue is an evil piece of art that tries to feign abundance while the catalog is mostly cookie cutter dramas targeted to women. NFLX is seriously behind HBO, FX and SHO on top-notch content.

You're treating "the shorts" as a collective. They're not. Some of them covered. Some of them have yet to. Instead of a single entity, these are individual and institutional short sellers. Just like those who are bullish, some of those who are bearish will profit and others will incur losses. I'm just providing insight - not drawing conclusions. I even wrote that I'm rooting for the underdog just because I feel like it, but really, I just happen to like Beyond and wish it was more cost effective. Knowledge is power, or the adage I prefer, "intel drives ops." Your question is framed in a way that suggests I think they've covered. That's a huge oversimplification of stock dynamics and exemplifies why I stated people are gambling rather than making informed decisions. There's a wealth of information (all free and open source) provided on how trading is governed and regulated. I just brought up a lesser discussed topic: the SHO threshold list. $BYND just happens to be on it along with a ton of other stocks. To be on the list, "there are aggregate fails to deliver at a registered clearing agency of 10,000 shares or more per security," as clarified by Nasdaq.

CumminsDeezTurbo

I don't have a huge stake in this, but I do eat their products and like rooting for the underdog when I feel like it. I haven't seen anyone talk about this surprisingly, so I'll leave it here. Take it with a grain of salt and it's been said a million times, but NFA... $BYND has been on SEC's SHO threshold list since October 16, 2025. Technically, if I go by UTC, it just went into its 8th consecutive day on the list. By the end of the 13th consecutive day (Monday, November 3, 2025), any short sellers that fail to deliver so far (by closing out their short positions) are required by the SEC (Rule 203(b)(3)) to purchase the shares. Otherwise, they're restricted from shorting unless they borrow shares. If the share price holds strong (better even if it shows an increasing trend such as closing higher each day) leading up to next Monday, more calls will be in the money. As buying pressure increases with SEC's requirement to deliver, anyone who exercises before then as well as those that auto exercise after expiration results in assignment. This further contributes to buying pressure. The dynamics yielding a gamma or short squeeze (or ideally, both) is dependent on a lot of things, but I think anyone - bullish or bearish - can agree on at least two of those circumsrances. One, retail continuously buys and holds more and more of the float as shares change hands to force buying pressure that drives up the share price (with high volatility). Two, call options are heavily purchased and expire ITM or exercised throughout the week but no later than the time deadline set by the individual's respective brokerage on Friday, October 31. I personally think that a lot of people are gambling impulsively and emotionally without doing research, studying and comprehending technicals and fundamentals, and developing experience with trend analysis. More experienced and seasoned investors and traders understand this element of market sentiment and factor it into their own courses of action to mitigate risk in their own "aggressive" approach (high risk, high reward behavior). If people need to have someone tell them how to spend their money, then the self accountability and lack of conviction are apparent - likely leading to panic selling or greed. You don't win battles in war without intelligence preparation of the operational environment (IPOE), a wide-scale assessment of the trading environment here, and then prepare your execution plan for real time (intelligence preparation of the battlefield or IPB). For what it's worth, everything I say here is also applicable knowledge for short sellers. Good luck, but yeah, I'm rooting for retail on this one as annoying as the bots and excessive, drivel-heavy "to the moon" posts are.

**Good observation, but there are a few issues with that logic. Here’s why the “zero-risk short” assumption doesn’t hold up in this case:** 1. **Convertible noteholders can’t short freely until shares are deliverable.** Even though notes are convertible at $0.97, most of those shares are still under a *Contra CUSIP* and **unregistered**, meaning they can’t be sold or delivered through NASDAQ yet. **Important: Shorting against those** **restricted shares would violate Reg SHO** (since they can’t be borrowed for delivery). **So unless the noteholder already converted** ***and received*** **unrestricted stock, they can’t legally short against it.** 2. **The “0.97” convert price isn’t the same as a guaranteed hedge.** **That’s just the** ***conversion ratio*****, not a guaranteed liquidation floor.** Convertible arbitrage funds *do* short common stock to hedge, but that presumes their conversion shares are already registered or exempt. Here, BYND explicitly stated the new shares *“****have not been, and will not be, registered.****”* **That means arbitrage shorts can’t freely cover until a resale registration or Rule 144 eligibility, which isn’t immediate.** 3. **You can’t call sub-$1 a “safe” short when SSR (Short Sale Restriction) and delisting risks exist.** Below $1, **Nasdaq’s bid-test rule (IMPORTANT)** and **SSR (Reg SHO Rule 201) restrict shorting further.** So while it’s true that convertible pricing *implies* dilution risk, it doesn’t make shorting “zero risk.” In fact, limited float + delayed registration makes borrow availability *tight* and that’s what fuels squeezes. 4. **The warrant and note math doesn’t determine float supply.** Warrants at $4.95 are way out of the money; they don’t expand float until exercised. Convertible notes at $0.97 can *potentially* expand float, but again only once legally tradable.

Alright folks, im not sur what to do before market open. need some brainpower from the hive I’m watching these four pretty closely for tomorrow’s session: >`$ASST – Still on the NASDAQ SHO list 👀, heavy short pressure, could be setup for a pop if volume kicks in.` >`$OPEN – Been consolidating forever, any breakout incoming or dead money?` >`$WULF – Bitcoin miners waking up again. If BTC holds above $70k, this could run hard.` >`$BYND – Massive short interest + cold weather season = maybe people back to fake meat? Or just more pain?` Not financial advice just trying to decide if I’m about to print tendies or burn my last few brain cells. 🧠💸

Although short selling adds selling volume, it’s simply one side of normal market activity. The market usually absorbs a large number of both buy and sell orders each day. Unless short selling is extreme relative to typical trading volume, its direct impact on price is usually shown to be small. In the case of options, the effect is often even less pronounced. Market makers do not hedge every individual position. Instead, they manage aggregate risk exposure across all of their options and underlying positions. For example, Huh, Lin, and Mello (2015), “Options Market Makers’ Hedging and Informed Trading: Theory and Evidence”, find that the impact of option market makers’ hedging on stock prices typically does not exhibit strong directional pressure. That said, under certain conditions (e.g., large hedging flows or illiquid stocks), hedging can cause price pressure. However, that impact is generally found to be temporary. From a regulatory perspective (somewhat simplified), under SEC Regulation SHO (Rule 203), short sellers must borrow or arrange to borrow shares before selling them short. This prevents naked short selling and helps limit artificial downward pressure. Last but not least, it's been shown in several studies that bans on short selling do not prevent prices from falling. See https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/a-deep-dive-into-how-short-selling-really-works for an overview.

So, this stock had a high short interest, on the Nasdaq Reg SHO list (for failure to return borrowed short shares), and had a merger due (with shares locked). It was a powder keg, ready to explode. Went from \~$5 to \~$19 (PM) and opened at $13, where I sold.

GroupTherapyABGT

Shorts have now kept BYND on the Regulation SHO Threshold List for multiple “fails to deliver”. Going on 4 days. https://www.nasdaqtrader.com/trader.aspx?id=regshothreshold Just like GME

octopuds-roverlord

They're on the SHO list.

RonaldWRailgun

*\*sigh\** except squeezes tend to happen when the shorted company is not BS, i.e. one with 1.5 billion worth of debt and negative EPS. Not every stock on the SHO list will have a squeeze, if only it were so easy we'd all be billionaire. (my circle of skydiving buddies would say "we'd call it your mom" but I don't like your mom jokes, honestly)

notmyclementine

It’s on the SHO list, that implies naked short selling so it’s not a matter of whether or not the company is bs, it’s about a squeeze

Yorkieeeee

From chat gpt In simple everyday terms: ✅ What you’re looking at This is a screenshot showing stocks that are on the Reg SHO “Threshold Security” list. ✅ Why a stock ends up on this list A stock gets put on this list when too many shares fail to be delivered after a trade. This usually happens when: • Short sellers sell shares they don’t actually have (or can’t borrow) • There are more short trades than actual shares available • Someone keeps failing to deliver the shares they promised to sell It has to happen for 5 days in a row to get listed. ✅ What it means in plain English Think of it like this: Someone promised to sell apples at the market, but they don’t actually have apples… and they keep doing it day after day. Eventually, the market says: “Hey — you keep failing to deliver. We’re watching you.” ✅ Why people care Being on the threshold list can mean: • Heavy short selling pressure • Possible naked shorting (illegal: selling shares that don’t exist) • The short sellers may have trouble covering later • Increased chance of a short squeeze if buying pressure hits (Doesn’t guarantee a squeeze — just increases the potential.) ✅ How a stock gets OFF the list Once it stops failing to deliver for 5 straight days, it’s removed. ✅ What most retail traders think when they see this • Shorts are struggling • Shares aren’t being delivered • Pressure is building • Something might pop ✅ Quick summary Threshold list = Too many undelivered shares, usually caused by short selling abuses. It’s a sign shorts might be overextended. ⸻ If you want, I can explain: • How this ties to short squeezes • Whether being on this list is bullish or bearish • How long stocks typically stay on it

notmyclementine

If Beyond Meat is sitting on the NASDAQ SHO list, doesn’t that imply possible naked short selling?

Top-Subject38

But are those not available to them? They are shorts that have come offline due to there date expiring? Now with the SHO list they are unusable? I don’t know need some expertise.

I think due to touchdown being within sight (over the weekend we shoukd hit new highs) and hedges will have no choice but to buy back monday/tuesday or incur egregious fees. Not to mention all the naked shorts leading to the SHO list in the first place

wjnpro123

I google translated: Yesterday's trading volume, but the buying is overwhelming in large-scale transactions...? I don't know what this means, but usually, if institutional buyers come in, it should be considered a positive sign. What do you think? Do you think it's a positive sign? Or, let me know what you think! It seems like the Nasdaq SHO list hasn't been updated yet! I'll check it out when it's up. Judging by the fact that it's been going up continuously since the 10th, large-scale short selling is still ongoing. I think this is the beginning of a war!

iheartppploans

SHO list with 8.7M FTDs forces buy-ins by ~November 8; options expiry tomorrow (max pain $3) could trigger gamma if pushed >$4; retail inflows ($35M October 21), meme ETF inclusion, Walmart deal hype. X/Reddit sentiment: "HODL for $25," 729% weekly gain despite crash (from $0.50 to $7.69 high). WE WILL GO UP IF WE STICK TOGETHER

White_Sugga

With the SSR & SHO, I fugured it would be atleast a little in the green

Orangjuic3

Not on a timer. They only get forced to buy if the stock price goes way up (causing big losses) or if a specific rule kicks in because shares weren't delivered properly (called FTDs on the SHO list - we don't know if $BYND is there yet). Since the price is around $3.00 now, they aren't being forced. • The huge spike to $7 was a squeeze, and that part is done. • BUT, even more people started shorting after that, making the short position huge (109%). So, the potential for another squeeze is definitely still there. • Lower volume just means things calmed down a bit. It could be a pause before another fight, not the end. Simple Summary: The first big price jump is finished. But now, there are tons of shorts betting against the stock (109%!). So, another squeeze could happen. Right now, it's a standoff. The people selling (shorts + the big group with new shares) are keeping the price down. If buyers come back strong on Friday and push the price way up, the shorts could be forced to buy, starting another squeeze. If sellers stay stronger, the price will likely stay low or drop. Friday is key.

Cornshortage

If retail baggies can't coordinate with WSB, bull boards and whatever other communities to take advantage of BYND being on SSR and SHO lists along with Walmart and EREWHON news, then they'll never be able to beat the shorts/bears.

Antique-Flight-5358

Your reminder: Beyond Meat ($BYND) was added to the NASDAQ Reg SHO Threshold List on Oct 22, 2025. That means there are massive “fails to deliver” — shares that were sold but never delivered — which often points to naked shorting. Under SEC rules, these failed positions must be closed within 13 settlement days.

Jagged_Tide

Basically high level of FTDs (too many short sellers haven’t delivered the shares they sold short) stocks on SHO have high squeeze potential, squeeze deez nuts etc

CarnivorousVegan

The stock is what it is, only play with what you afford to lose. The current hype goes way over the company products, it´s a set of market variables that are in place that give the chance of a short squeeze of big dimensions. High short interest, extremely high cost to borrow, that means shorts are expensive over 60% annualized some sites reporting even higher numbers, low available borrow shares, naked shorts are being watched by SEC, stock is on the Reg SHO Threshold List since yesterday according to some reports, options volumes are huge, I think short sellers are starting to edge on calls, option expiry tomorrow can see a huge numbers of call options expiring on the money etc. Is it guaranteed? no, nothing is guaranteed, people will always hold bags no matter what, is it worth the risk? for you to decide

WatermelonCheeks

It’s on SHO list so good luck

RichardUkinsuch

The hedgefunds buy .50 puts forcing the market makers to short 100 shares. It costs them pennies to short this way. Read REG SHO rules 203(b) and 204. They will also use the ETF redemption / creation to to short. By buying 25,000 shares of an ETF they can "unbox" the ETF shares dump the shares they dont want on the lit exchanges then create the shares of the ETF and exclude the shares they dumped by paying cash value essentially making the ETF now short the shares wich they gladly buy back at a discount. This happens multiple times daily and its 100% legal. That MEME ETF will be sort well over 100% of the float and be on the reg sho list guaranteed.

Bippity_Boppity69

A genuine question: if stock is in SHO list and it cannot be shorted unless there is an uptick, won’t there be way they spike it by a dollar or 2 and then short them again ? I am holding 500 rn for the cause. but just a genuine question as Idk shit about Short squeez, etc etc

# Premise Short sellers targeting Beyond Meat (BYND) in October 2025 miscalculated by relying on a government shutdown's opacity and a debt-to-equity swap to drive the price down, underestimating retail "apes" on Reddit who spotted the setup and triggered a rally. Now, with an elevated price, shorts who doubled down are vulnerable if the price holds, as they depend on retail selling to exit gracefully—or face forced covering from Fails-To-Deliver (FTDs). # Details 1. **Exploiting Shutdown Delays Backfired**: Shorts bet the October 1, 2025, shutdown would hide their aggressive positioning by delaying SEC data like FTD reports (last released September 30, with peaks over 873,000 shares). This created a transparency gap for adding shorts (pre-dilution \~40% of float). However, Reddit apes didn't wait—they used public pre-shutdown signals, bot activity suspicions, and BYND's October 22 Reg SHO listing (flagging persistent FTDs >0.5% of shares) to rally. This sparked a 388% surge from lows to $7.69, forcing early covering amid 2B+ share volumes. 2. **Doubling Down After Dilution Ignited Retail Counterattack**: Post the October 13 swap (converting $1.1B debt to 316M new shares, inflating outstanding to 393M), the stock plunged 56%, encouraging shorts to pile on (post-swap estimates 30-80% of float). They assumed dilution would kill momentum. Instead, apes reframed it as a buying opportunity, using liquidity from new shares, high borrow fees (up to 94%), and low days-to-cover (0.04) to fuel the rally. Reddit threads urged holds, mocking sellers and tying it to "hedgie-hurting" narratives, turning a bearish event into a meme squeeze. 3. **Price Hold Exposes FTD Risks**: At \~$3-4 (as of October 23), shorts need retail panic sells for liquidity to cover without losses. If apes hold—as promoted in forums—mounting borrow costs and margin pressures build. Reg SHO requires FTD close-outs (T+1 for shorts), and persistent failures (inferred from listing) could force buy-ins ASAP, sparking another upward loop if no sellers emerge. # Conclusion Shorts' overconfidence in shutdown delays and dilution overlooked retail's social coordination, leading to a rally that flipped their strategy. If the price holds amid ape resolve, FTD mandates could screw them, proving underestimating decentralized traders is a fatal flaw in modern markets.

abay98

Well, currently BYND is on SHO list, 240 mill extra shorts when 7 mill wrre available. All the shorts have to cover those errors by buying back their shares. GME surged from 0.50 to 3$ and back down to 0.50 again until janurary when it zoomed up to 100$. The surge yesterday was part of the shorts trying to cover. They now have 4 days to cover (i believe) im selling 2 green contracts at market open and saving 1 red one

infinitetekk

A lot of people got shaken out yesterday, so the volume is understandably lower, combined with the fact that shorts are now restricted and the stock was added to the SHO list, shorts might not want to come out and play today either. I personally think today is a good opportunity to get another leg up, and hopefully it will really surprise people. Who knows though, let’s wait and see what happens
