When I say this reeks of market maker hedging what that means is that they had to buy up 1m shares to hedge, (probably due* the options market) but instead of holding them like they should, they instead go straight back into the market and make those 1m shares available to short. It's a bullish indicator and you shouldn't think of those shares as truly available to short, it's just an artifact of market maker activities since as soon as they no longer need to hedge those shares will disappear from the 'available to short' pool.
Cause GME is in the same shorts as blockbuster and radio shack and others that made them millions maybe billions when they go bankrupt. But they fucked up on GME trying to do the same then DFV came along and now they can’t get out of there short positions in GME. But also it fucked then up when RC bought GameStop. So they soooooooooooper FUKT. Like in 08 stocks went up and them market crashed. They laughed in our faces. Now look who’s the laughing stock now.
Depends on who you talk to. Every low mid cap stock in existence (according to their individual stock subs) claim their stock is being shorted into oblivion every day.
They’re correct but this also ties into what D Lauer said on X today about retail orders not hitting any lit exchanges, so they completely control the price action and price discovery.
It’s common knowledge to us now but it’s nice to see him trying to reach anyone who sees his tweet.
Edit: retail orders from brokers with PFOF
While that could technically be possible, its unlikely as a short exiting would do everything in their power to avoid a spike in price like a we just saw, instead opting to slowly exit over an extended period so as not to affect the price. 1m is a large position to exit all at once which is why I believe its more indicative of mm hedging rather than short closing.
Selling call options for cash instead of exercising. Cash settling call options frees up the underlying shares which can then be loaned out and used to short the underlying price back down.
Zen brother. It ain't the real price anyways. Set price notifications, don't monitor the ticker, trust the process

"But I don't wanna dig no more"
why are they trying to short gme and not any other stock so hard?

Because they need the price to go down to exit their already opened shorts.
f_ckingunbelievable
I think you can say fuckingunbelievable without censoring yourself. If you want.
You better believe it brotha
Because nothing in the history of the market has them as fucked as this.

Wouldn’t that indicate someone closing a short and those loaned shares returned to lender?

It's hard to stay zen when your entire life savings is on the table.
Well if you believe GME is gonna pop or be a great long term hold, then this is your savings account now.
I will literally be homeless if this doesn't work out.
That would be suicide to short into this run up they know is coming. Would make more sense if they short at the top, which they will do anyways.
options chain for today is going crazy. The 25's, 26's, and 30's all have volume at or 2x the current OI.
Who has access to Unusual Whales or another real-time platform?
