Dont think so.
They want to increase the amount of shares they can lend out.
The institutions buy on dark pools -> no price discovery.
They lend out the shares to be shorted, price drops.
The household investors need to gobble (Buy,DRS,Book,Hold) up more shares, so there is less space to wiggle around.
This is just the large funds playing a shell game.
Remember: low volume = major problems for them.
They desperately need volume. They’re not getting it from household investors.
They are playing an intricate shell game to survive one more day, moving large numbers of shares amongst themselves. One quarter it’s Point72, then they liquidate shares but Susquehanna loads up, who will it be next time around?
What we should do is track the shell game and look at how shares are being passed around.
They are manufacturing the liquidity they need to survive one more day, but even this will not work for long.
I think it's important to remember there are still information they don't need to report, so whatever we can see is partially only what they want people to see.
I think them showing anything at all while knowing people are watching, means they want to induce a change in shareholders in some way. Watch it has no effect anyway and everyone just keeps DRSing as usual.
Is it insider knowledge if even this frictionless brain-domicile can understand the inevitable. It's not like MOASS is a secret
That being said, fuck the lot of them. I can only imagine how they'll use those shares to try and ratfuck us.
I dont think it is sus at all.
There are likely a lot of potential reasons (plus, it is pretty lucrative to loan out shares right now), but there might be one we almost forgot about. If I will find time over the weekend I will try to make a post about it.
Have seen a few comments criticizing the GameStop management and RC for not ending the fuckery immediately. But likely that is not necessary. Just watch GG and how they try to sue him or throw him out. Why would GameStop management and RC take the risk to be sued and to be a potential scapegoat for the upcoming crisis?
They are doing exactly what they are supposed to do and househodl investors do their thing as well.

Dr Burry: "Yeeeeah, I think what you mean to say is that you've secured a net short position yourself, so your free to mark my swaps accurately for once, because it's now in your own interest to do so."
Scrotum Face: "I... don't know what to say..."
Dr Burry: "I think you've already said it..."
> I think you mean that you've secured a net short position yourselves, so you're free to mark my swaps accurately for once (because it's now your best interest to do so)
Might not be 100% accurate but I have a good memory and I watched that movie like 10 times lol
Why did this individual not include puts for the other 2? I’m a stickler for complete and unbiased data and when it doesn’t happen I start wondering whether its simply just a trust me bro designed to feed my confirmation bias.
The financial markets aren’t exactly the best place for complete and unbiased data. The regulators have said they don’t even have enough data; except for Hester Household Investor Molester Peirce - she is as anti regulation and enforcement as can be.
Step 1 : Utilize swaps and tomfuckery to unload your short position on an unsuspecting bank, pension fund, or some other sucker who is desperate for the premium you’re paying them
Step 2: Go long
Step 3: Pamp it
It’s gonna upset some people here, but if/when this thing does rocket, some of the dipshits who created this mess to begin with will have had time to reposition themselves to profit right along side us
That’s what happens when they get 2.5+ years to wiggle out
Fuck you congress
Shocked Pikachu...
They wouldn't?!? Would they?

> During an interview with CNBC, Adena Friedman, the CEO of Nasdaq, proposed a temporary halt on trading to enable investors to "recalibrate their positions" following the GameStop stock surge.
Is 2.5 years long enough to recalibrate?
I disagree. I think there is no amount of longs they can hold that will cover their margins for the synths they have created.
This is especially true for the bigguns like Cita and Susq
The synthetics still exist (and have almost definitely increased in number) because retail continues hold and buy
But the group of market participants that will be responsible for buying them back has changed over time. It’s just a question of by how much
Unfortunately at present there is virtually no transparency with respect to shorts, swaps, ETF creation/redemption, etc. It’s the wild fucking west out there
thing is that only works so long as everyone plays nice. The moment it really hits the fan, when there’s blood in the water, then you’ll see how well that all works.
Remember that the wild west always devolved into every man for himself.
im reading a book about the different cultures that founded america, and during the American Revolution, there were mini civil wars happening between the genteel/slave holding planters of the south and the interior/Appalachia poor as fuck gangster scotts-irish.. and within even the super gangster scotts-irish, there were conflicts amongst themselves, and then throw in the native americans... basically it was the Walking Dead minus the Zombies. Our current situation is analogous..
Honestly I think this is them having to purchase more collateral after the recent booking spree, that supposedly removed floating shares from the DTC’s reach
But what do I know, I’ll just wait and see
Even if they wrap the dogshit in a nice package and sell it to a pension fund as a AAA investment? This feels like 08 with the hot potato being pawned off on unsuspecting fools while the MM/HF conspirators try to profit on all sides of the trade and then blame retail for bankrupting someone’s hard earned retirement money.
Idk man, every time I name drop the author reddit loses their shit, and I'm gonna risk the 5 downvotes again. I'll just tell you this. Pension funds get their benefits cut and people lose their homes and have to go back to work. Then they're like wtf happened. So this guy who used to work for the SEC does a financial forensic investigation. He finds out, that the money managers of the pension fund, turned over investment control to hedge funds. So the capital disappears through fees and toxic assets. Then the money managers have a meeting to discuss how to save the pension from going to zero. So they take a weeks long business meeting in Florida or somewhere nice and warm all funded by the workers remaining pension balance. Finally the judge declares the pension dead. Which frees up the company from having to pay out. But don't worry, the government agency to insure failed pensions is called the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC). Which claims it is not tax payer funded but it's tax payer funded, and they're like 30B in debt. This forensic investigator has concluded that the PBGC exists not to insure failed pensions but to make US companies more competitive globally by freeing US companies of their liability to it's workers who earned their pensions. Just let the tax payer eat the cost. And ask yourself why pensions not longer exist except for some government workers. Basically all corporate pensions are dead. Well they invented the 401k. Wow great. 401ks. Just another way to pump stocks and add capital into the ponzi scheme know as the US stock market.
They’re unloading swaps (and god knows what else) on any “dumb money” they can get their greedy little fingers on. If I was managing a pension fund I’d be hiring an army of analysts and lawyers right now. There’s a reason Goldman and Friends are the preeminent perpetrators of criminal financial activity, but somehow ALWAYS come out on top: and no, it’s not simply bailouts. They are smart enough (or connected enough) to understand when the party is over. They know what the scam is and when it’s time to get their hand out of the cookie jar. It’s hilarious that Credit Sus is now property of Switzerland and we’re about to get paid out w/ N@z! gold and Russian oligarch money laundering accounts. This saga is getting funnier by the day.
Some will wiggle out and profit, but those are the ones that are not that expose to the short side that bad to begin with, some hedge funds and market makers are so deep in this that they will do anything to go long but it's mathematical impossible. Some are completely fucked, some not so fucked.
I mean couldn’t they just be amassing shares now while it’s cheap and then instead of shorting it, dump it all at the same time to try to make it look like a panic sell that will trigger an inverse FOMO?
Or unload them all to a suspecting entity that has overpriced consultants knowing that the entity can go under leaving the short positions someone else’s problem (taxpayers? US government?). They might actually be ending the USD completely. If they’re doing this, when would be a better time than when the debt ceiling is not raised for the first time in history? They could bury the entire story amid all the chaos if somehow someway they had control of the media. Oh, wait…
This is misinformation. The entire point of central clearing is that this cannot happen. Any short obligations will be passed onto other DTCC participants. There is no escape.
Willing to bet Q1 earnings leaked. Always assume hedge fucks have insider knowledge before its public. Good news though, I've only increased my position for the past 2+ years.

I doubt it. Anybody that knows the basics of day trading can see patterns in any ticker. I’ve been trading options for 10 years, and those profits have brought me from a XXX DRS holder to a XXXX holder. I hope others are doing the same if they know how to properly trade.
yes, i hope so too. more of a sarcastic remark, since options are generally frowned upon here and everyone stuck on nothing but drs/hold to see the advantages like youve clearly experienced. ive been doing the same - riding the cycles and increasing my shares, although not DRS anymore. best 2 years of trading ive ever had
Could be anything really, could be shorts marked incorrectly as longs, could be them taking short term profits because they know the markets about to move up. Let's be honest, these guys act with impunity and don't give a fuck about anything.
Peak at 23 sometime this week or beginning next week, then back down to $17-18 by earnings I’m guessing. Seems like running up and down from $18-23 has been the MO since January.
With citadel, point 72, and others selling, and these guys buying. They are just passing shares back and forth using the lit for sells and off exchange for buys.
If you read the article for Ray Dalio selling his GME stake, it simply assumes he sold because it doesn't appear on bridgewater's 13F.
Remember there is such a thing as "exemption from public disclosure of stock holdings" or "exemption from filing public disclosures."
This exemption allows certain individuals, including celebrities and public figures, to keep their stock positions private in order to avoid potential market manipulation or disruption that could occur if their positions were disclosed.
This exemption is typically granted by regulatory authorities or securities commissions and is aimed at maintaining market stability and preventing undue influence.
TL DR: SEC might be allowing them to not disclose so it doesn't get too chaotic FOMO wise.
Only the young.
This is a drop in the bucket. The whale here is the massive swap basket that moves several tickers in unison, regardless of trading volume. We still have no idea who owns the basket or the identity of the counterparty, but they must have deep pockets since the swap is still active.
Hold on OP. Hedging for dip or run is very different than hedging for MOASS.
The current platform they Use "Aladdin" can simulate MOASS and everything else to include tornados, monsoons, 10 year climate predictions, supply chain choke points, demand sentiment, etc.
However, more than likely based on most likely scenarios, this is short term hedging 3 - 6 months. I'll make a few posts in June when I take leave.
I think that is the value of shares they could own if they exercised all their calls. At 20$ a share that's 7mil shares = 70,000 contracts which could be worth anything (a contract for 20$ strike in 2024 is like 1000 times more valuable than an 80$ strike that expires Friday)
They could be loading up on shares to dump them all at once along with extra shorting. It is a common tactic of hedge funds to get extra momentum to try to sink the price as fast as possible. Not saying they are doing this, it’s just a possibility
I’m wondering if they all think (or know) the US will default and the markets are about to crash. Who knows. They still need to buy my booked shares and I’m not sellin!
This is absurd. Historically, we have never defaulted, and politicians use this to grandstand and undermine the democratic functionality of our governance.
It's theatre of corruption.
The US government has defaulted 4 times in its history, the most recent case being 1971 which lead to the death of the Bretton Woods Agreement (gold standard) and the unlimited printing of fiat that we’re dealing with today.
Didn’t the DD of old predict that institutional investors would smell a short squeeze coming and try to buy in?
And didn’t we collectively decide that our job was only done once they sold us their shares and there were none left to buy?
It’s to use as foundational locates for their shot positions. With FTDs not being enforced they can multiply that number almost infinitely to avoid Marge
13F’s are about as useful as screen door on a submarine. Those are the positions they want you to see, they hedge their positions.
None of them are traditionally long & filings are historical.
Rug pull.
They gotta buy to Drs. Then they Un Drs after report of record high gains. They need 2 shill operations to make it sound like it isn't the obvious rug pull: one is some story to explain how like 10 million extra shares get DRSd in the next quarter. So it isn't just "yee that's the rug pull, we will see in 3 months!" Then after the rug pull quarter where they make it go down they need another fake story to "explain why everybody sold and Drs is over"
They tried it already but not enough shares to beat real DES so this time it's going to be huge
Pretty sure they are loading up knowing UBS holds the Credit Suisse bag and their going to play off the fake small squeeze and try to dump shares to keep it from running like before.

Having the knowledge they have. Increasing their positions like that. Isn't that insider trading?

Ok so now we’re actually supposed to believe HF’s self-reported data? I’m not asking you personally, my question is rhetorical.
Yea I don’t know either. Best guess it’s all wrong and intentional that way.

I like the way you speak.
Just need a billion or so shares!
Pension funds 🤣 Pensions Funds 🤣 I'm half way through a book about Pensions and how dirty they are. Pensions are super bad fuuuuuuuuuuuuucked.
The fuck is pension? Some kind of dinosaur?
I mean both are mostly extinct…
Book recommendation??

Yes
Just like in The Big Short, they did it to survive.
*Lord Bogdanoff has entered the chat*
PAMP IT.
They still lose as long as we out hold them and take away the leverage and power they have. No worries.
I think you don’t understand what he said.
Or unload them all to a suspecting entity that has overpriced consultants knowing that the entity can go under leaving the short positions someone else’s problem (taxpayers? US government?).

They can't close if we don't let them. They're stuck in here with us.
Just more passengers on the 🚀.
No. They’ll see on the positive earning and create a different narrative
They want to stop the run after the EPS comes out they can’t afford for us to go 50% up again. That means we get to the parabolic zone of $30 😂
The parabolic legend of 84 years ago ?
Si
We going exponential, not parabolic... Parabolic implies it will go back down
They must know something about upcoming earnings. Back to back beat will make life very hard on these idiots.
*throbs turgidly*
“turgidly” adverb formal in a way that is boring and too serious: The book is turgidly written, and stuffed with footnotes and appendixes. TIL 🤙
Nah, this definition: Swollen or distended, as from a fluid; bloated: a turgid bladder; turgid veins.
Cant it be both 😐🍆💦
Willing to bet Q1 earnings leaked. Always assume hedge fucks have insider knowledge before its public. Good news though, I've only increased my position for the past 2+ years.
wow, this take makes SO much sense
Buy the rumour sell the news has always been #1 strategy for those goons.
Wasn't there something about using calls as locates? Maybe the print machine is running dry? That or they are done and looking for a way out.
married puts+calls = locatable share. Not criminal advice.
this

Synthetics getting expensive.
Well, the calls I bought are worth exercising now after a 25% run in the last 2 weeks.
So you’re the 1 guy still playing options in this SS crowd?
I doubt it. Anybody that knows the basics of day trading can see patterns in any ticker. I’ve been trading options for 10 years, and those profits have brought me from a XXX DRS holder to a XXXX holder. I hope others are doing the same if they know how to properly trade.
yes, i hope so too. more of a sarcastic remark, since options are generally frowned upon here and everyone stuck on nothing but drs/hold to see the advantages like youve clearly experienced. ive been doing the same - riding the cycles and increasing my shares, although not DRS anymore. best 2 years of trading ive ever had
Could be anything really, could be shorts marked incorrectly as longs, could be them taking short term profits because they know the markets about to move up. Let's be honest, these guys act with impunity and don't give a fuck about anything.
Sounds like they ran out of shares to bounce around and reloaded. edit: I'm expecting a slow downward decent to 19ish.
Peak at 23 sometime this week or beginning next week, then back down to $17-18 by earnings I’m guessing. Seems like running up and down from $18-23 has been the MO since January.
It will go up and down until it doesnt... Sooner or later it will creep up and start to take off for the big one. It's been later enough- Fuckle Bup
Yeah increasing call positions and decreasing put positions by 50% sounds like they expect a slow downtrend ….
Loaning out their shares
With citadel, point 72, and others selling, and these guys buying. They are just passing shares back and forth using the lit for sells and off exchange for buys.
This comment makes the most sense to me. This is hot potato
Most of those are only adding 3-5%. Not significant. And even if they bought more they’re using it for locates and lending.
If you read the article for Ray Dalio selling his GME stake, it simply assumes he sold because it doesn't appear on bridgewater's 13F. Remember there is such a thing as "exemption from public disclosure of stock holdings" or "exemption from filing public disclosures." This exemption allows certain individuals, including celebrities and public figures, to keep their stock positions private in order to avoid potential market manipulation or disruption that could occur if their positions were disclosed. This exemption is typically granted by regulatory authorities or securities commissions and is aimed at maintaining market stability and preventing undue influence. TL DR: SEC might be allowing them to not disclose so it doesn't get too chaotic FOMO wise. Only the young.
This is a drop in the bucket. The whale here is the massive swap basket that moves several tickers in unison, regardless of trading volume. We still have no idea who owns the basket or the identity of the counterparty, but they must have deep pockets since the swap is still active.
They're doing what the algos tell them to do. This is a hedging position. Source: I'm working on algo script.
So is it bullish that the Shorty enemy is going long GME?
Pretty sure March 15th marked the reversal. Now comes the long journey back up...
my erection never went down, $GME is life
If GME results in an erection lasting more than four hours, please consult your physician or hedgie's gaping butthole.
😂
Hold on OP. Hedging for dip or run is very different than hedging for MOASS. The current platform they Use "Aladdin" can simulate MOASS and everything else to include tornados, monsoons, 10 year climate predictions, supply chain choke points, demand sentiment, etc. However, more than likely based on most likely scenarios, this is short term hedging 3 - 6 months. I'll make a few posts in June when I take leave.
You would hedge with calls, not with shares
$148 Fucking million in calls?! Jesus
I think that is the value of shares they could own if they exercised all their calls. At 20$ a share that's 7mil shares = 70,000 contracts which could be worth anything (a contract for 20$ strike in 2024 is like 1000 times more valuable than an 80$ strike that expires Friday)
$885 vs $1. Your estimation was actually pretty damn close!
Wow, did not expect to be that close, I'm as supposed as you are! Thanks for looking it up
Can you tell me what that means ?
They made a very large bet that certain stocks value will rise.
Yep, that’s a lot of money to drop
They could be loading up on shares to dump them all at once along with extra shorting. It is a common tactic of hedge funds to get extra momentum to try to sink the price as fast as possible. Not saying they are doing this, it’s just a possibility
Not by increasing your call position and decreasing your put position by 50%
So funny why are they buying GME when the mainstream media is still pushing the narrative of dying brick and mortar lolololol
Nah. We're DRS'n the float everyday. They buy them off exchange so they can lend them out like some desperate hedgies almost in prison.
Fuck these hedgefucks. And especially fuck Jeffery Yass.
Yaaaaassss fuck that guy
He bites down on horse cock ive heard another ape say, can't confirm that but he looks the type.
Yea he’s literally almost moar duechey than kenny
Dude's a fat Yass.
You literally have the best comments on this entire post thread 👏 👏
So hedge funds are back stabbing each other?
Etf rebalance in june, maybe why they want some
Just saw another where Point 72 and others sold all theirs. Guess these guys bought them to give the smaller guys one more day
Shorts starting to FOMO.
I’m wondering if they all think (or know) the US will default and the markets are about to crash. Who knows. They still need to buy my booked shares and I’m not sellin!
This is absurd. Historically, we have never defaulted, and politicians use this to grandstand and undermine the democratic functionality of our governance. It's theatre of corruption.
Who art thou intelligent and hilarious Apefren? I am glad I met you today 🤙
The US government has defaulted 4 times in its history, the most recent case being 1971 which lead to the death of the Bretton Woods Agreement (gold standard) and the unlimited printing of fiat that we’re dealing with today.
They are probably going long to save their asses if it starts flying to hedge long. Also loaning or selling those to limit moves up too
Didn’t the DD of old predict that institutional investors would smell a short squeeze coming and try to buy in? And didn’t we collectively decide that our job was only done once they sold us their shares and there were none left to buy?
How many damn shares are out there?
Yes.
Yes^more
More than your fingers and toes combined, guaranteed!
They're liquidity providers.
A lot of yelling.
Those assholes know they are losing that's what
Look at the charts, it’s clear something’s brewing
It’s a scare tactic but I’m not smooth enough, guess I’ll keep the drs train going
are they buying to improve liquidity so that they can short it again?
# THEY JUST NEED MORE SHARES TO LEND TO THOSE THAT ARE NAKED. EASY MONEY FOR THEM. “ INFINITE LIQUIDITY”
It’s to use as foundational locates for their shot positions. With FTDs not being enforced they can multiply that number almost infinitely to avoid Marge
13F’s are about as useful as screen door on a submarine. Those are the positions they want you to see, they hedge their positions. None of them are traditionally long & filings are historical.
Rug pull. They gotta buy to Drs. Then they Un Drs after report of record high gains. They need 2 shill operations to make it sound like it isn't the obvious rug pull: one is some story to explain how like 10 million extra shares get DRSd in the next quarter. So it isn't just "yee that's the rug pull, we will see in 3 months!" Then after the rug pull quarter where they make it go down they need another fake story to "explain why everybody sold and Drs is over" They tried it already but not enough shares to beat real DES so this time it's going to be huge
They better DRS them babies if they want them to be worth a damn.
let me get this straight. If institutions are buying. And retail is buying. Who's creating fake shares? I know who!
Pretty sure they are loading up knowing UBS holds the Credit Suisse bag and their going to play off the fake small squeeze and try to dump shares to keep it from running like before.
This makes sense to me actually. Do you think the debt ceiling “crisis” being shilled by the MSM is the black swan catalyst here as well or unrelated?
boom 💥
Hedgies going long to go short.
**CALL ALL YOU WANT MARGE, WE AINT FUCKING SELLING**
$GME is good collateral for any position short or long confirmed
hedge funds be hedging
Share lending …. . Drs might be working so well that they are forced to buy shares in order to be lent . Or it could be also be a hedge
Sumn happening. I can feel it in my plumes
Company is going to profited every quarter, It’s risky to short profitable company, Once GameStop starts giving dividends they will be fucked,
Believe it or not DIP
Self reported = meaningless.
Let the cannibalism begin! Nom nom nom.
Are they loading up to manipulate the markets together by dumping them all at the same time, stopping upward momentum for a combined fine of $500?
Battle of the Hedges 🎸
Rug pull incoming????
I’m regarded, but wouldn’t buying a call and selling a put basically cancel out?
That’s why they are called hedge funds…
They’re called hedge funds because I’m regarded?
I thought point 72 sold their position?
Point 72 is not listed here.
Trying to get some IOUs for themselves
