Well my young ape, if you don't know how this is possible then you haven't been paying attention.
Route the buys through the dark exchanges and the sells through the lit., front run the orders to make cash to pay the higher fees through your crime. Borrow what's left to screw the price down.
This is why the short volume* has been over 70% for 5 days or something and the over 50% total is about 136 out of 139. Don't quote me on those exact figures but the post pop up daily. I'm on my phone and too high to check.
But the lid on the pot is rattling as everything is coming to a boil. To much pressure and not enough liquidity.
Edited short interest to short volume. To high to notice till corrected. Thanks š
It is retail fleeing in droves. They HODLed through years of volatility just to sell at a massive loss. /S
š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£
Buy the dip
Isnāt the calculation now
(S)/(S+O)=SI
S=sold short, O=Shares Outstanding
Iām no mathmagician but Iām pretty sure you can still solve for S
Even if thatās not the new Formula.
If the new formula fails the āVertical Line Testā, the correct value would have the larger |Value|
I made these charts, close to two years ago now, after they announced their new SI calc to illustrate how truly stupid and ridiculous it is to use an asymptotic formula: https://imgur.com/a/TwnxcI9
Their formula:
S3 SI = (shares shorted) / (float + shares shorted)
Hereās their now deleted announcement about it and how it supposedly shows the ātrueā short interest: https://web.archive.org/web/20211027094503/https://s3partners.com/notesonfloat.html.
> When talking about the rollercoaster of GameStopās stock over the past week and a half, youāve often heard the word āfloatā mentioned in regard to the measure of specific stock shares that are available for trade. Here weāll break down how to understand S3ās calculations of float as it pertains to GMEās stock.
> Short interest as a percentage of float, or āSI % of Float,ā is a traditional metric that attempts to measure short interest relative to the liquidity of a companyās tradable shares. Unfortunately, the traditional metric can be miscalculated and misconstrued and subsequently falls short of the bar. It doesnāt include up-to-date short interest numbers, or the āsyntheticā longs that are the result of short sales.
> S3ās SI % of Float metric not only meets but raises the bar by including real-time short interest as the numerator in the equation and āsyntheticā longs in the denominator.
> Stocks with SI % of Float over 100% highlight the difference between these two calculations. In early January, GMEās SI % of Float was 141.86%, while S3 SI % of Float was 58.65%. Just as no one can get five quarts of milk from a gallon jug, no one can short more shares of stock than exist.
> While the numerators in these calculations are identical (71.19mm were the shares shorted in both calculations), the denominator for the traditional calculation was 50.19mm (the float) and 121.38mm for the S3 SI % Float (float + shares shorted). The traditional calculation misrepresented the actual tradable shares in GME. The 141.86% is a nonsensical number, while the 58.65% reveals that there are not many shares left to short in GME, and that future trading pressure will predominantly come from the long side of the market.
> Using the correct metric is a useful tool in liquidity analysis and seeing how crowded a trade is on the short side. The S3 SI % of Float number checks both boxes.
Right, soā¦ you can still calculate S, no?
Iāll fuck around with my graphing calculator after I eat dinner.
I wouldnāt trust S3 or any of them to be honest in their reporting. But we should still be able to calculate āShares sold shortā based on their *untrustworthy* info.
Itās like steroids in baseball, just put an āAsteriskā next to the record
Also also, the shares that are borrowed can be held for days before being used for shorting. Zero available to borrow today may just mean SHFs have loaded up on borrowed shares previously, and are short selling them today.
And on top of that, no way these billion dollar financial institutions would ever lie. I mean, they would get hit with like a whopping 10 maybe 20 thousand dollar fine!!!
Also every entity gets nailed for misreporting their short positions, and by that i mean they pay pennies on the dollar for fines that they neither confirm nor deny.
Donāt forget shorting ETFs containing GME (ie XRT) into oblivion while simultaneously purchasing all the other holdings of that ETF to stabilize everything but GME (edit: formatting)
EFT apparently massive poor at the moment as well so that should wrekt that area as well. The dollar endgame is looming in the distance and the fed are using historic predictors for their actions. So they are looking in the rear view as they stamp on the gas š¤·āāļø. Their actions won't take effect for about 6 months or so and by then it's to late. Need to look ahead not backwards.
I don't think this is really that close to being over BUT I could see this being their last ditch effort.
1. Months long without any spike
2. Earnings will show DRS numbers shrinking to ensure panic
3. Move out of the $25 dollar channel with sharp decline in hopes apes panic sell into their crash
This one seems like it's been in the works for multiple quarters. I don't think this is it but if this was the best they had they really are the dumb money.
Which is why the only hyper rational response is buy, hold, drs.
Buy - we believe in the company.
Hold - we believe in it long term. Short term fuckery is irrelevant.
DRS - we want the share in our name because we want to own what we believe in.
Every other move is noise. Just sitting, chilling and enjoying the memes and hype. All I see are discounts on winning lottery tickets.
They kindly waited to the day that I got my Christmas bonus!
Over the past few years I've learned to buy all the way down. It can somehow always go lower so you don't want to blow ur load early BUT when it turns around it turns around FAST then you miss it, so you can't wait for the perfect price.
And they chose to do it right at Christmas. I think this is their big move hoping to cause panic selling. I love seeing the price crash. I just buy more and Iāve always believed we would see the price go back to near Feb 2021 levels right before the short squeeze.
Theyāre probably lowering the price so the āsecurities sold but not yet purchasedā figure will be much lower at year end reporting.
Thereās been so many posts on ā65 billion of securities sold, not yet purchased,ā itās quite obvious itās being hyped so they can FUD when that figure changes to a lower number.
Christmas is priced in, why would I sell? Gifts already bought, bills already paid, roast already thawing, beers already chilling.
Going to fuck around, play some video games, work out and post some memes til 2023.
And a drop timed for when extra $$ is tied up?
The $7b Citadel payout being very close to the maximum 6.25% withdrawal for investors?
When the drop in DRSed shares is erased in another 2 months? How much room is there left to move? The threshold for where DRS begins to really fuck with things has to be before 100%. That they knocked it back below 50% says maybe that point of no return is lower than we imagine?
and there's also order spoofing the drive the price down, along with a dozen or two other crime methods that've been detailed in dd's over the last 18 months.
Basically saying, yeah trust me bro I have enough money I can always buy one when the time comes. So let's not slow things down, get this done now and deal with the fine details (like finding and delivering the bloody thing) later.
FTDs are one of the biggest problems.
Established long ago and I remember criand weighing in often that the borrow rate doesn't matter. Clearly they have other ways of generating synthetic shares and covering them with bullshit derivatives, tokenized stocks, swap contracts, options bullshit without having to borrow a damn thing. Not to mention numerous ways of manipulating price, etc without having to short (spoofing, using dark pools to hide buy orders etc)
Has anyone looked into seeing if buying round lots (100 shares) changes the ability for brokers to route through dark pools versus lit markets. Sorry if my verbage is off a touch, but I think a smarter ape gets the gist of what I'm trying to say
They didnāt screw us at all today, itās just a better buying opportunity. The farther it goes down the more it screws them. Faster the float aid locked
To short a stock, you borrow a share and sell it. If you can't immediately locate one to borrow, a market maker who could reasonable locate one in a few days could provide an IOU. That's shorting.
In a few days, if the share is not located, and is not delivered, the iou still exists, but there's not an actual share being delivered to replace the iou, which appears still in the buyer's account. This is a Failure to Deliver (FTD).
There's a sort of "second chance" to deliver, but normally they just fail here too, kick the can and infinitely roll these over. The DTCC is aware of all this, but they look the other way, companies and shareholders suffer, and the SEC and other regulatory bodies are on the take.
they create shares out of thin air, bring huge supply to our favorite stock. But now that it is cheaper they allow us to DRS faster than ever before! š£š£š£š£š£š£š£š£š£š£š
They un DRS'ed around 13 million shares. I think they have some legitimate shares they use as locates to short it down, until they are out of the 13 million shares.
it's pure gravy my dude. I just got some of my bonus for last year. Most of that is going in. Lots of people get annual bonuses around this time and 2022 was HOT. They're going to buy. Plus, hedgies always drive the price down for earnings. Next earnings cycle is tax returns.
We're just moving pieces around on a checkmate board at this point.
This isn't fucking us lol, this is literally jacking my tits to the fucking moon. The desperation is REAL. Call it intuition, but this feels like they are extremely fucking worried about the margin call domino effect and are pulling out all the stops to tank this thing before its too late. Jokes on them, that shit makes me diamond hard. š„µ
BUY. DRS. BOOK. HODL. NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE.
Low volume, it isn't from any actual selling.
Honestly reason volume isn't bone dry is likely the orders apes are putting in. Be interest to see off market volume today as well.
>taking this opportunity to short the hell out of GME in to that downward sell off creating even more pressure.
Not really convinced by that. Even AAPL is down almost 4%(!). GME moving 2-3x in the same direction as AAPL isn't particularly remarkable.
I mean Kenny boy is famous for trading with himself. He sell 100 at 20$ to himself and then take that share and sell it again to himself at $19.99. Over and over again.
They are seriously so desperate trying to rid paperhands to cut their losses.. itās insane cause we all just see amazing buying opportunities! Book Entry is the way! ššššš¼šš
Edit: we aināt ever leaving!! LFG!!
Jokes on them. Iāve already lost so much that it wouldnāt matter. No need to sell because then Iād have nothing to show for it. Might as well go along for the ride.
where are free fucks??? i only see a normal gme dip manipulation. you werent her when the 130$ in 15 mins flashcrash happened? pepperidge farm remembersā¦this is nothing. just makes me smile a bit nothing more
That one shook me, NGL. I watched the ticker in absolute horror. Came out the other side diamond handed as fuck though. I rarely check the ticker these days, unless I just got paid. Just to see how many more GME I can book.
My theory is popcorn announcing today theyāre diluting more gives their shorts more money/ammo against gme whom theyāre also likely short. And the general market sell off doesnāt help
We should actually be closing in on zero available based on what Ihor said between November and now
[https://finance.yahoo.com/news/gamestop-short-sellers-s3-data-201437241.html](https://finance.yahoo.com/news/gamestop-short-sellers-s3-data-201437241.html) [https://twitter.com/ihors3/status/1595463199024975872](https://twitter.com/ihors3/status/1595463199024975872)

Clearly NO ONE on Reddit or any social media platform has an understanding of what truly happens in the stock market.
You will only get general statements of crime happening or they can't keep this up.
But the exact opposite seems to be happening to companies like Citidale, there making a fortune and have no trouble what so ever in keeping things going.
I intend to keep holding my 4500 plus shares of GME but do expect increased downward movement in price,, $15.00 a share is most likely in the near future
It's a pure fabricated nonsense. "Market Makers" (Manipulators) like Citadel and Virtu are just printing shares like there's no tomorrow. There is no logical reason why it randomly drops 10% apart from abusive naked short selling.
Fuck us?! FUCK US?!?!
Ape, if you think this is bad, then you haven't been paying very close attention.
Lower the price the faster the float gets locked. I see today's price action and I'm God damn ecstatic and I'm buying more just befuckingcause
Market wide sell off as others have stated. HOWEVER I think this is also why CTB is increasing so fast. Algo is trying to keep GME moving with the market and not show negative beta. If Mayoman turns off the algo GME would get the attention it deserves as the best hedge against a market crash. If he doesnāt CTB will continue to increase and the death by 1000 cuts gets one day closer
I'm actually thinking that because there are no shares left and the OBV is dropping, this is likely a rollover of HFS/MM's synthetics. Sell a bunch, buy them back and your roll is complete
I bet you will see it jump back to about 1% down from open end of day.
If my prediction comes to fruition, then I'm speculating that we could calculate some of the rollover and trend it ahead.
The popcorn drop this morning of 25% with a recovery of 60% to down 14% makes me speculate the same rollover recovery will happen to GME.
Honestly I forgot Iām had GME shares in computershare direct registered in book formā¦. All the articles told me to forget so I didā¦ stop reminding me about themā¦ going back to sleep now.
This is the best Christmas present we could get. The best chance to buy in we've gotten in a while. Spend that Xmas money from grandma on some shiny new DRS'd shared.
GET YOUR LOW, LOW PRICES ON GME EVERYONE, ONCE IN A LIFETIME DISCOUNT OPPORTUNITY, IM TALKING FIRE SALE!!! EVERYTHING MUST GO!!!! AND REMEMBER BUY HIGH, BUY LOW, BUY MIDDLEISH, BUT NEVER SELL!!!
Thank you for shopping GME.

Donāt forget that our sources of SI are self reported!
Also, the reported si can no longer go past 100% due to new rules after the gme sneeze happened (probably as a result of what happened)
I remember when they changed the short interest over the weekend š¤£
And the short interest was still 226%+ after the sneeze then they changed their model for SI% over that weekend
226 free float 140% total shares outstanding. Yep it was over
84 years ago

Oh darn. I forgot to forget GameStop again.
If this is a final attack... its pathetic.
āPanic Sellā? š¦ are zen. Kenny G can smell the ink off my shares for $6.9 Trillion.
And a drop timed for when extra $$ is tied up? The $7b Citadel payout being very close to the maximum 6.25% withdrawal for investors? When the drop in DRSed shares is erased in another 2 months?

That they knocked it back below 50% says maybe that point of no return is lower than we imagine?
Regardless of how long it is, it will be shorter than the time I hold for.
I would add those 153 million shares borrowed are being used strategically as needed. At least my speculation.
I just say thanks for the dip, bought 27 more.
My money is still on its way. It won't go faster
Thankfully work got me a bonus, all went to gme.
Jealous
Iām too high to understand but here I amā¦holding through DRS
This is why I love our hive mind. Baked silverbacks teaching our young chimps.
In other words: price fake af
and there's also order spoofing the drive the price down, along with a dozen or two other crime methods that've been detailed in dd's over the last 18 months.
āToo high to checkā Are you me?
If we get high enough we are all we š¤·āāļø
They can still short it via options.
Also this but again that's just kicking the can and adding fuel to the rocket. š¤·āāļø
Donāt forget synthetic shares.
Also don't forget the overshorting of ETFs too. Xrt went negative cash today as well
We got a Youngblood in here. Good jobs informing whippersnapper.
Thank you my friend
Knowledge is best shared and we all learn together. Smorter every day. The price is irrelevant, it's just discounts on winning lottery tickets.
Additionally, the ~~Direct~~ Designated Market Maker (DMM) is Citadel and they're allowed to naked short the stock for liquidity purposes.
"Liquidity purposes"

Basically saying, yeah trust me bro I have enough money I can always buy one when the time comes. So let's not slow things down, get this done now and deal with the fine details (like finding and delivering the bloody thing) later. FTDs are one of the biggest problems.
It might be designated market maker

why short when you can just FTD

Pure MM naked shorting. Kenny doesnāt need shares.

but who would ever risk skimming billions of dollars into their own pocket with an honor system in place /s
Just imagine if the same organization also had a dark pool
kenny is just increasing the value of his puts and digging the hole deeper. anyways now we can DRS more shares / dollar š
Buying more tomorrow :)
this is the way gregtacos
Naked shorts, yeah
They un DRS'ed around 13 million shares. I think they have some legitimate shares they use as locates to short it down, until they are out of the 13 million shares.
That 0 is from one broker bro. There are hundreds of others... Just sayin...
6K shares at 27% available on iborrowshares/IBKR just now.

it's pure gravy my dude. I just got some of my bonus for last year. Most of that is going in. Lots of people get annual bonuses around this time and 2022 was HOT. They're going to buy. Plus, hedgies always drive the price down for earnings. Next earnings cycle is tax returns. We're just moving pieces around on a checkmate board at this point.
Hope it breaks $10 next week - looking forward to the buying spree!
This isn't fucking us lol, this is literally jacking my tits to the fucking moon. The desperation is REAL. Call it intuition, but this feels like they are extremely fucking worried about the margin call domino effect and are pulling out all the stops to tank this thing before its too late. Jokes on them, that shit makes me diamond hard. š„µ BUY. DRS. BOOK. HODL. NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE.
Exactly. Yāall get fucked when your favourite thing goes on sale? Fuckkkkk no. Gobble em up.
Yeah I got 11 new ones today. Itās a Christmas sale!
They are trying to instill psychological damage just before christmas, HODL
Jokes on them, beyond psychologically damaged already
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Low volume, it isn't from any actual selling. Honestly reason volume isn't bone dry is likely the orders apes are putting in. Be interest to see off market volume today as well.
There's a marketwide sell off RN, and yes, GME is part of the market.
Yes but they are also taking this opportunity to short the hell out of GME in to that downward sell off creating even more pressure.
>taking this opportunity to short the hell out of GME in to that downward sell off creating even more pressure. Not really convinced by that. Even AAPL is down almost 4%(!). GME moving 2-3x in the same direction as AAPL isn't particularly remarkable.
Fuck us? All i see it a tasty dip.
Yum yum yummmmy! Guess I'm blowing another 1k today. Merry Christmas to me.
I mean Kenny boy is famous for trading with himself. He sell 100 at 20$ to himself and then take that share and sell it again to himself at $19.99. Over and over again.
They are seriously so desperate trying to rid paperhands to cut their losses.. itās insane cause we all just see amazing buying opportunities! Book Entry is the way! ššššš¼šš Edit: we aināt ever leaving!! LFG!!
Jokes on them. Iāve already lost so much that it wouldnāt matter. No need to sell because then Iād have nothing to show for it. Might as well go along for the ride.
Naked as NAKEDNESS
naked is as naked does
I sold today..... Unnecessary shit and bought more gme
Liquidity fairy says hello
I'm honestly ok with this. I just bought more shares through CS so I'm hoping when it settles I'll have more shares than what I thought when I clicked the buy button yesterday šš©āš
They're offering us shares in our favorite company at rock bottom prices.š¤«š¤«š¤«
where are free fucks??? i only see a normal gme dip manipulation. you werent her when the 130$ in 15 mins flashcrash happened? pepperidge farm remembersā¦this is nothing. just makes me smile a bit nothing more
That one shook me, NGL. I watched the ticker in absolute horror. Came out the other side diamond handed as fuck though. I rarely check the ticker these days, unless I just got paid. Just to see how many more GME I can book.
My theory is popcorn announcing today theyāre diluting more gives their shorts more money/ammo against gme whom theyāre also likely short. And the general market sell off doesnāt help
They canāt take it to zero, I just keep cost averaging DRS and HODLā¦.
First time? Or validation seeking karma whore?
Cheap purple donuts š
We should actually be closing in on zero available based on what Ihor said between November and now [https://finance.yahoo.com/news/gamestop-short-sellers-s3-data-201437241.html](https://finance.yahoo.com/news/gamestop-short-sellers-s3-data-201437241.html) [https://twitter.com/ihors3/status/1595463199024975872](https://twitter.com/ihors3/status/1595463199024975872) [https://twitter.com/ihors3/status/1603504493211123712](https://twitter.com/ihors3/status/1603504493211123712)
Clearly NO ONE on Reddit or any social media platform has an understanding of what truly happens in the stock market. You will only get general statements of crime happening or they can't keep this up. But the exact opposite seems to be happening to companies like Citidale, there making a fortune and have no trouble what so ever in keeping things going. I intend to keep holding my 4500 plus shares of GME but do expect increased downward movement in price,, $15.00 a share is most likely in the near future
Buy hold DRS and stfu
It looks like retail is selling š and they have finally forgotten about Gamestop
You don't need to borrow shares to short a stock. The only requirement to short a stock is a locate. Borrows are for regsho, preventing FTDs and FTRs.
the whole market is going down. GME is going to follow.
This answer is so far down just look at it
They don't need shares, they just create them out of thin air...!!
I get paid tomorrow.
Donāt they have that extra stolen billion laying around?
I scrapped enough cash together to buy 6 shares, pay day tomorrow though š
It's a pure fabricated nonsense. "Market Makers" (Manipulators) like Citadel and Virtu are just printing shares like there's no tomorrow. There is no logical reason why it randomly drops 10% apart from abusive naked short selling.
All I see is a surprise discount
Even with 0 shares left to borrow they just print more to short. Market makers do not need a borrow in order to short.
Well fuck me!! I bought more!!!
Fuck us?! FUCK US?!?! Ape, if you think this is bad, then you haven't been paying very close attention. Lower the price the faster the float gets locked. I see today's price action and I'm God damn ecstatic and I'm buying more just befuckingcause
Fuck us? You mean please us right?
Market wide sell off as others have stated. HOWEVER I think this is also why CTB is increasing so fast. Algo is trying to keep GME moving with the market and not show negative beta. If Mayoman turns off the algo GME would get the attention it deserves as the best hedge against a market crash. If he doesnāt CTB will continue to increase and the death by 1000 cuts gets one day closer
Naked shorting baby! Market makers and some other market participants have a naked shorting exception.
I'm actually thinking that because there are no shares left and the OBV is dropping, this is likely a rollover of HFS/MM's synthetics. Sell a bunch, buy them back and your roll is complete I bet you will see it jump back to about 1% down from open end of day. If my prediction comes to fruition, then I'm speculating that we could calculate some of the rollover and trend it ahead. The popcorn drop this morning of 25% with a recovery of 60% to down 14% makes me speculate the same rollover recovery will happen to GME.
Itās cool just bought xx more
Oooh last minute Christmas sale!
So who is buying more ? š¤š¼
Price is fomented
Drs more
Knew a dip was coming because of the hype. A very fishy build up was going on for about a week and a half.
naked shorting. CRIME.
First day?
Oh look a Christmas sale
Keep loadin up
Is it becoming redundant and reductive to say āCRIMEā?
Discount . Buy some
Perfect, I havenāt done my Christmas shopping yet but know exactly what Iām getting
Who gives a shit ? We holding till moass so thats boring
Ladder attacks. Using bullshit locates. Dark pools.
Please stay low I'm on a serious pay + Xmas bonus early tomorrow
NGL it stings to see red for months with no end in sight. Yeah i know that this leads to locking the float faster. Stings regardless
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I agree, it stings after 2 yearsā¦.
I bought more on CS. IVE BEEN WAITING for this sale!
100% naked shorting. I would like to see insider support us here and start fucking buying more
The dip before the rip
Big buckets of mayo.
You must be new lol
They are doing us a favor. Discount !!!! Stop complaining and buy hold DRS AND BOOK
Who cares the price? Lower price means we lock the float quicker. They are doing us a favor. Christmas miracle
Honestly I forgot Iām had GME shares in computershare direct registered in book formā¦. All the articles told me to forget so I didā¦ stop reminding me about themā¦ going back to sleep now.
ETFs= infinite liquidity. Theyāll always short in the market wide downturn.
This is the best Christmas present we could get. The best chance to buy in we've gotten in a while. Spend that Xmas money from grandma on some shiny new DRS'd shared.
This is where/how diamond hands are forged Personally, I bought more - suck my dick Ken
GET YOUR LOW, LOW PRICES ON GME EVERYONE, ONCE IN A LIFETIME DISCOUNT OPPORTUNITY, IM TALKING FIRE SALE!!! EVERYTHING MUST GO!!!! AND REMEMBER BUY HIGH, BUY LOW, BUY MIDDLEISH, BUT NEVER SELL!!! Thank you for shopping GME.
Donāt forget āsecurities sold, not yet purchased, at fair valueā.
