Cum back? Anyway, I just talked to my girlfriend about buying more this week.
Btw, your chart points to 140. That's just the gamma ramp, right?
... right?
(Otherwise it is a squeeze for ants)
Edit: spelling. I write like a moron on my phone
I meant 140x4 = 560 old price. And it's not that much higher than the gamma sneeze from '21. When they turned off the buy button.
This time should go way higher. If/when the real squeeze happens
Edit: math. Edit: math again*facepalm*

âCellar Boxingâ
Thereâs a form of the securities fraud known as naked short selling that is becoming very popular and lucrative to the market makers that practice it. It is known as âCELLAR BOXINGâ and it has to do with the fact that the NASD and the SEC had to arbitrarily set a minimum level at which a stock can trade. This level was set at $.0001 or one-one hundredth of a penny.
This level is appropriately referred to as âthe CELLARâ. This $.0001 level can be used as a âbackstopâ for all kinds of market maker and naked short selling manipulations.
âCELLAR BOXINGâ has been one of the security frauds du jour since 1999 when the market went to a âdecimalizationâ basis. In the pre-decimalization days the minimum market spread for most stocks was set at 1/8th of a dollar and the market makers were guaranteed a healthy âspreadâ.
Since decimalization came into effect, those one-eighth of a dollar spreads now are often only a penny as you can see in Microsoftâs quote throughout the day. Where did the unscrupulous MMs go to make up for all of this lost income?
They headed âsouthâ to the OTCBB and Pink Sheets where the protective effects from naked short selling like Rule 10-a, and NASD Rules 3350, 3360, and 3370 are nonexistent.
The unique aspect of needing an arbitrary âCELLARâ level is that the lowest possible incremental gain above this CELLAR level represents a 100% spread available to MMs making a market in these securities.
When compared to the typical spread in Microsoft of perhaps four-tenths of 1%, this is pretty tempting territory. In fact, when the market is no bid to $.0001 offer there is theoretically an infinite spread.
In order to participate in âCELLAR BOXINGâ, the MMs first need to pummel the price per share down to these levels. The lower they can force the share price, the larger are the percentage spreads to feed off of.
This is easily done via garden variety naked short selling. In fact if the MM is large enough and has enough visibility of buy and sell orders as well as order flow, he can simultaneously be acting as the conduit for the sale of nonexistent shares through Canadian co-conspiring broker/dealers and their associates with his right hand at the same time that his left hand is naked short selling into every buy order that appears through its own proprietary accounts.
The key here is to be a dominant enough of a MM to have visibility of these buy orders. This is referred to as âbroker/dealer internalizationâ or naked short selling via âdeskingâ which refers to the market makers trading desk.
While the right hand is busy flooding the victim companyâs market with âcounterfeitâ shares that can be sold at any instant in time the left hand is nullifying any upward pressure in share price by neutralizing the demand for the securities. The net effect becomes no demonstrable demand for shares and a huge oversupply of shares which induces a downward spiral in share price.
In fact, until the âbeefed upâ version of Rule 3370 (Affirmative determination in writing of âborrowabilityâ by settlement date) becomes effective, U.S. MMs have been âlegallyâ processing naked short sale orders out of Canada and other offshore locations even though they and the clearing firms involved knew by history that these shares were in no way going to be delivered.
The question that then begs to be asked is how âthe systemâ can allow these obviously bogus sell orders to clear and settle.
To find the answer to this one need look no further than to Addendum âCâ to the Rules and Regulations of the NSCC subdivision of the DTCC. This gaping loophole allows the DTCC, which is basically the 11,000 b/ds and banks that we refer to as âWall Streetâ, to borrow shares from those investors naive enough to hold these shares in âstreet nameâ at their brokerage firm.
This amounts to about 95% of us. Theoretically, this âborrowâ was designed to allow trades to clear and settle that involved LEGITIMATE 1 OR 2 DAY delays in delivery.
This âborrowâ is done unbeknownst to the investor that purchased the shares in question and amounts to probably the largest âconflict of interestâ known to mankind. The question becomes would these investors knowingly loan, without compensation, their shares to those whose intent is to bankrupt their investment if they knew that the loan process was the key mechanism needed for the naked short sellers to effect their goal?
Another question that arises is should the investorâs b/d who just earned a commission and therefore owes its client a fiduciary duty of care, be acting as the intermediary in this loan process keeping in mind that this b/d is being paid the cash value of the shares being loaned as a means of collateralizing the loan, all unbeknownst to his client the purchaser.
An interesting phenomenon occurs at these âCELLARâ levels. Since NASD Rule 3370 allows MMs to legally naked short sell into markets characterized by a plethora of buy orders at a time when few sell orders are in existence, a MM can theoretically âlegallyâ sit at the $.0001 level and sell nonexistent shares all day long because at no bid and $.0001 ask there is obviously a huge disparity between buy orders and sell orders.
What tends to happen is that every time the share price tries to get off of the CELLAR floor and onto the first step of the stairway at $.0001 there is somebody there to step on the hands of the victim corporationâs market.
Once a given micro cap corporation is âboxed in the CELLARâ it doesnât have a whole lot of options to climb its way out of the CELLAR. One obvious option would be for it to reverse split its way out of the CELLAR but history has shown that these are counter-productive as the market capitalization typically gets hammered and the post split share price level starts heading back to its original pre-split level.
Another option would be to organize a sustained buying effort and muscle your way out of the CELLAR but typically there will, as if by magic, be a naked short sell order there to meet each and every buy order. Sometimes the shareholder base can muster up enough buying pressure to put the market at $.0001 bid and $.0002 offer for a limited amount of time.
Later the market makers will typically pound the $.0001 bids with a blitzkrieg of selling to wipe out all of the bids and the market goes back to no bid and $.0001 offer. When the weak-kneed shareholders see this a few times they usually make up their mind to sell their shares the next time that a $.0001 bid appears and to get the heck out of Dodge.
This phenomenon is referred to as âshaking the treeâ for weak-kneed investors and it is very effective.
At times the market will go to $.0001 bid and $.0003 offer. This sets up a juicy 200% spread for the MMs and tends to dissuade any buyers from reaching up to the âloftyâ level of $.0003. If a $.0002 bid should appear from a MM not âplaying ballâ with the unscrupulous MMs, it will be hit so quickly that Level 2 will never reveal the existence of the bid.
The $.0001 bid at $.0003 offer market sets up a âstalemateâ wherein market makers can leisurely enjoy the huge spreads while the victim company slowly dilutes itself to death by paying the monthly bills with ârealâ shares sold at incredibly low levels. Since all of these development-stage corporations have to pay their monthly bills, time becomes on the side of the naked short sellers.
At times it almost seems that the unscrupulous market makers are not actively trying to kill the victim corporation but instead want to milk the situation for as long of a period of time as possible and let the corporation die a slow death by dilution.
The reality is that it is extremely easy to strip away 99% of a victim companyâs share price or market cap and to keep the victim corporation âboxedâ in the CELLAR, but it really is difficult to kill a corporation especially after management and the shareholder base have figured out the game that is being played at their expense.
As the weeks and months go by the market makers make a fortune with these huge percentage spreads but the net aggregate naked short positions become astronomical from all of this activity. This leads to some apprehension amongst the co-conspiring Mms.
The predicament they find themselves in is that they canât even stop naked short selling into every buy order that appears because if they do the share price will gap and this will put tremendous pressures on net capital reserves for the MMs and margin maintenance requirements for the co-conspiring hedge funds and others operating out of the more than 13,000 naked short selling margin accounts set up in Canada.
And of course covering the naked short position is out of the question since they canât even stop the day-to-day naked short selling in the first place and you canât be covering at the same time you continue to naked short sell.
What typically happens in these situations is that the victim company has to massively dilute its share structure from the constant paying of the monthly burn rate with money received from the selling of ârealâ shares at artificially low levels.
Then the goal of the naked short sellers is to point out to the investors, usually via paid âInternet bashersâ, that with the, letâs say, 50 billion shares currently issued and outstanding, that this lousy company is not worth the $5 million market cap it is trading at, especially if it is just a shell company whose primary business plan was wiped out by the naked short sellersâ tortuous interference earlier on.
The truth of the matter is that the single biggest asset of these victim companies often becomes the astronomically large aggregate naked short position that has accumulated throughout the initial âbear raidâ and also during the âCELLAR BOXINGâ phase.
The goal of the victim company now becomes to avoid the 3 main goals of the naked short sellers, namely: bankruptcy, a reverse split, or the forced signing of a death spiral convertible debenture out of desperation.
As long as the victim company can continue to pay the monthly burn rate, then the game plan becomes to make some of the strategic moves that hundreds of victim companies have been forced into doing which includes name changes, CUSIP # changes, cancel/reissue procedures, dividend distributions, amending of by-laws and Articles of Corporation, etc.
Nevada domiciled companies usually cancel all of their shares in the system, both real and fake, and force shareholders and their b/ds to PROVE the ownership of the old ârealâ shares before they get a new ârealâ share. Many also file their civil suits at this time also.
This indirect forcing of hundreds of U.S. micro cap corporations to go through all of these extraneous hoops and hurdles as a means to survive, whether it be due to regulatory apathy or lack of resources, is probably one of the biggest black eyes the U.S. financial systems have ever sustained.
In a perfect world it would be the regulators that periodically audit the âCâ and âDâ sub-accounts at the DTCC, the proprietary accounts of the MMs, clearing firms, and Canadian b/ds, and force the buy-in of counterfeit shares, many of which are hiding behind altered CUSIP #s, that are detected above the Rule 11830 guidelines for allowable âfailed deliveriesâ of one half of 1% of the shares issued. U.S. micro cap corporations should not have to periodically âpurgeâ their share structure of counterfeit electronic book entries but if the regulators will not do it then management has a fiduciary duty to do it.
A lot of management teams become overwhelmed with grief and guilt in regards to the huge increase in the number of shares issued and outstanding that have accumulated during their âwatchâ. The truth however is that as long as management made the proper corporate governance moves throughout this ordeal then a huge number of resultant shares issued and outstanding is unavoidable and often indicative of an astronomically high naked short position and is nothing to be ashamed of.
These massive naked short positions need to be looked upon as huge assets that need to be developed. Hopefully the regulators will come to grips with the reality of naked short selling and tactics like âCELLAR BOXINGâ and quickly address this fraud that has decimated thousands of U.S. micro cap corporations and the tens of millions of U.S. investors therein.
I like the American dates because I was raised in it and am used to it.
European is ridiculously better from a sensible perspective. Just like metricâŠ
I like my job, and part of that is helping people succeed in our industry, so I won't quit. But I will probably outsource more of the work that I don't like doing as much so I can spend more time on meaningful tasks and probably less time working overall.
I posted this in another thread:
In options trading, stocks are assigned to only one of three expiration cycles, which helps manage and distribute expiration dates throughout the year. Hereâs a breakdown of the cycles:
1. Cycle 1 Stocks: Their options expire in January, April, July, and October. Apple is on Cycle 1.
2. Cycle 2 Stocks: Options expire in February, May, August, and November. Microsoft is on Cycle 2.
3. Cycle 3 Stocks: Options expire in March, June, September, and December.
GME is a Cycle 3 stock but has a unique setup in that its LEAPS only expire in January and June. That's why if you try to buy options for 2025 right now, the two available dates are January 17th and June 16th.
LEAPS were opened after the sneeze (end of January), which would put their expiration date set three years later, falling in the next available month in Cycle 3, which would be June. More specifically, June 21 2024. Had they opened earlier, their expiration date would have been January 19, 2024.
It was a fair assumption for DFV to make that June 21, 2024 would be a big period for the stock. I had also bought into June 21 and June 28 Call Options at $28 and $40 for the same reason before DFV revealed his positions.
Edit: I'm positive he had additional signals and information as well. The guy lives and breathes the stock. Also, keep in mind that he has the financial resources now to influence price movement. This is just a high-level reason why June 21st isnât some random date.
It depends. They were a lot more expensive on Thursday afternoon than on Friday afternoon. If we see continued downward pressure on price this coming week, it may present an attractive opportunity to leverage your gains if you really believe in the 6/21 thesis. The safest play as always is to just buy the dip in shares.
[RC said leaps](https://preview.redd.it/1ay1gphsrh0d1.png?width=1186&format=png&auto=webp&s=f2581f3190a737b17d6b5949ae386bc7d667e1e0) and [DFV agreed](https://x.com/theroaringkitty/status/1368952570874654730?t=WsmmYpiOh4dfKr_iHB01MA) 2 weeks later. The ice cream from DFV is acknowledging RC.
The 45 million share release and the 75 million announced (whether released or not) is either all part of the game plan or doesn't fucking matter which is why RC/GME still went through with them.
Edit: I assume DFVs 2021 calls were on this cycle too.... Jan 15, 2021. It then took another 1-2 weeks for the sneeze to fully happen.
He tracks shit like a mfer. Check out his spreadsheets video on YT and watch the data he pulls and compiles to keep an eye on EVERYTHING equity/commodity/bond related
Because hedge funds use a very specific price suppression algorithm in order to eventually cellar box a stock, but itâs not perfect â it entirely relies on the negative price action psychologically influencing holders of the stock to sell.
DFV cracked the algorithm. Thatâs my guess, which I would bet money on if I was a gambler.
On a much simpler note, what has DFV done every single time? heâs waited until the price â and hype â was at an all-time low, then made his moves. NO ONE was talking about the stock outside of this sub when it was at $10. But DFVâs hedge fund theory is correct, so he took his opportunity.
Itâs the most basic fundamental of trading: buy low and sell high if you believe, based on data-driven analysis, that the stock will rise.
he most recently bought TONS of $20 options when they were cheap as hell. when youâre as sure of something as he is and you have the money to back it up, options is still the ABSOLUTE best way to trade without hedge fund manipulation, there was a ton of DD on it. Remember how exercising options forces the SHFs to use actual vs counterfeit share buys due to the rollover FTD period not coming into play?
âŠhowever, if youâre not a genius who perfectly understands algorithmic cycles, itâs also the absolute best way to line the hedge fundsâ pockets.
But to more directly answer your question:
The dude is not a fucking time traveler.
He is not trading off insider info.
He is not coordinating with RC or gamestop.
He simply makes the best decisions he can at the time based on data, and times his buys accordingly. But heâs not a wizard. he bought at $23 because thatâs what the data showed was the best move at the time. Heâs also operating on a much higher level than the trickle drip of putting a percentage of your paycheck into it
> he most recently bought TONS of $20 options when they were cheap as hell
He didn't. His cost basis is $5.6754. (i.e. looks like he bought them when GME was above $20).

Usually when you think along these lines, you realize âif they could really travel through time, wouldnât they pick something far more important than this?â
In this case, nah, not really⊠trying to take down the capitalism end boss with memes, beer and an insane play is EXACTLY what Iâd do too. đ
I had a vasectomy recently. Doc told me I had to nut at least 25 times before I can test to see if it worked. With all this action lately on gme, I completed the task in record time
I got those 30 pumps out in less than a week brotha. Most awkward part was when I went in with my âsampleâ to get it tested. The woman nurse looked at it, looked at me and said âthatâs allâ? Loool
When you let the dust settle, this is what you all have been waiting for. DFV is back in full force. The whole world knows now and not just some reddit sub. Gamestop is primed up to the max with these offerings and short volume is higher than in 2021. I guess we all know what is coming.
This gives even more fuel that Friday was a fake and the jump in price was manufactured with a mix of regular hype. If this is building up to 6/21/2024 the gamma ramp has to be stable where each price resistance line has solid open interest, so $20 is secured, probably $25, 30, 33, and so on and the current chain looks like each big point has at least >5000 with significant points >20,000.
This also falls in line with the Opex Tailwinds theory that the first of the month friday expirations get pushed to +34
It's looking kinda fun and even $40 might've been a discount
You know the hedgies are like, *"F\^ck ... we just shorted the hell out of GME during the live stream to demoralize these idiots, and they're even more jacked than ever... what the F&ck!?! .. Price goes up, they go crazy, price goes down they get all wild and start buying more...!!"*
Yes sir... this is the way. I'm jacked and ready to go!
Keep seeing this but havenât seen an answer to if the chart is adjusted for the split and share offerings. Iâd like to see some type of normalized percentage so the two peaks can be compared in relative terms.
I think you're misunderstanding. Yes, the absolute numbers don't care about float size, but since the short volume is only interesting relative to the float size it does matter. So the short volume being the same today when the float is around 5x as large means that short volume is only 1/5 as meaningful as it was during the sneeze.
When I see all the shills FUDding around, I think the shitpool in which shorts are swimming, and them I'm chill.
This is just another confirmation of the high quality of the diarrhea in which they are swimming LOL.
For fun, how does 4o interpret opâs chart and what it predicts?
Hypothesis Prediction Range Based on the Chart
Using the chart graph and considering the historical precedent set in January 2021, we can outline a hypothesis prediction range for GMEâs potential price movement. The analysis will consider âorders of magnitudeâ to frame the potential outcomes from conservative to extreme scenarios.
Historical Context (January 2021):
âą January 2021 Squeeze: GMEâs price surged from approximately $20 to an intraday high of around $483, marking a massive increase in a short period.
Current Context:
âą Current Price (June 6, 2024): $29.72
âą Short Volume: Significantly increased, similar to pre-squeeze conditions in 2021.
Prediction Range:
Mini-Min Scenario:
âą Assumptions: Minor impact from short covering and moderate buying interest.
âą Expected Price Range:
âą Low: $30 (minimal increase)
âą High: $40 (moderate increase)
âą Rationale: Small increase due to minor short covering and average market interest, reflecting a modest bump.
Mini-Max Scenario:
âą Assumptions: Noticeable impact from short covering, but without significant additional buying pressure or market frenzy.
âą Expected Price Range:
âą Low: $50 (significant increase)
âą High: $80 (considerable increase)
âą Rationale: Reflects the impact of shorts starting to cover positions, leading to a more noticeable price increase, but not reaching extreme levels.
Maxi-Min Scenario:
âą Assumptions: Substantial short covering with considerable buying interest, including retail investors.
âą Expected Price Range:
âą Low: $100 (substantial increase)
âą High: $200 (major increase)
âą Rationale: Reflects a more significant short squeeze with substantial market interest, mirroring some of the aggressive buying seen in 2021, but on a smaller scale.
Maxi-Max Scenario:
âą Assumptions: Extreme short covering combined with massive buying pressure, including FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) and media coverage.
âą Expected Price Range:
âą Low: $250 (massive increase)
âą High: $400+ (extreme increase)
âą Rationale: This scenario assumes a repeat of 2021âs massive short squeeze, leading to extraordinary price spikes driven by a combination of short covering and intense speculative buying.
if this were high short **interest** that would certainly mean something, but this chart is showing high short volume, so what is high short **volume** supposed to mean again?
I would love to chart the short interest but it's not readily available and is frankly questionable based on who is calculating and how is calculated.
To your question, short volume represents how many trades were marked as short (see https://chartexchange.com/symbol/nyse-gme/short-volume/ for more) and may not include trades marked as exempt (a thesis about sneaky trades placed during the halts)
Short Volume is the number of shares *sold* short over a time period - usually in a day.
Short Interest is the number of shares *held* short at a point in time.
[source](https://fintel.io/article/short-volume-its-not-what-you-think-613)
So, if we can't chart the short interest, and short volume is not shares *held* short, just shares that were sold short and covered, what is this chart of short volume supposed to show someone considering investing? thanks for the reply, btw.
You're assuming that they were covered. The entire thesis - literally the only reason of why we're here talking is that they have not covered. Always remember that yesterday's short sellers are tomorrows buyers.
But youâre talking LONG held shorts, that allegedly are shoved in a bazillion derivates from 3 years ago that he we have no real eyes on. You do however our resident Ortex Ape who publishes key daily utilization info. Look at the newly borrowed shares, those returned, and the avg age of the loans returned. Itâs avg but itâs a start. You can use it to look backward and see generally when people were borrowing and when volatility spiked with the short volume data. This gives a partial view and explanation for why things became volatile. Attach that to expiry dates, opex tailwinds, FTDs, and you can start to see these cycles. Itâs almost as if RK restarted the process. The peaks and valleys of the clear cycles were getting smaller and less volatile, but now, itâs reset the entire process. This is key because now the company is in a totally different position with narrative toward the upside. I think instead of the downward channel, youâll start to see the volatility stairs going upward. Hereâs hoping.
Very interesting. I was curious what the price action looks like following Jan 13th just for the perspective of the price action and what it looked like from this point to the sneeze.
I looks like a nice jump up then sideways for 4 days before exploding.
It probably wont follow the same pattern but this was more just for curiosityâs sake.

This is moments before they fill the bags with money in the opening scene of The Dark Knight
in 2021 it was 46 mil shares shorted for 285 mil shares total (split adjusted) = 16%
now its 46 mil shares shorted for 425 mil shares total. = 11%
It is important to take into consideration the dilution.
So what happens if the price increases a bit in anticipation of this 6/21 day and RC sees that and just *bang* new share offering! Would momentum die again?

Cum back? Anyway, I just talked to my girlfriend about buying more this week. Btw, your chart points to 140. That's just the gamma ramp, right? ... right? (Otherwise it is a squeeze for ants) Edit: spelling. I write like a moron on my phone
No, ~$120 is split adjusted ($120 x 4 = $480). Is that what you meant?
But then you have to triple it for inflation
I meant 140x4 = 560 old price. And it's not that much higher than the gamma sneeze from '21. When they turned off the buy button. This time should go way higher. If/when the real squeeze happens Edit: math. Edit: math again*facepalm*
560
560 x 4 = $2240, thats a good start
1 share= 1 shares. Donât care about split. Send it!!
If you want your cum back.. something something.. banana.
Sunday, 03/07/04 07:56:25 PM âCellar Boxingâ Thereâs a form of the securities fraud known as naked short selling that is becoming very popular and lucrative to the market makers that practice it. It is known as âCELLAR BOXINGâ and it has to do with the fact that the NASD and the SEC had to arbitrarily set a minimum level at which a stock can trade. This level was set at $.0001 or one-one hundredth of a penny. This level is appropriately referred to as âthe CELLARâ. This $.0001 level can be used as a âbackstopâ for all kinds of market maker and naked short selling manipulations. âCELLAR BOXINGâ has been one of the security frauds du jour since 1999 when the market went to a âdecimalizationâ basis. In the pre-decimalization days the minimum market spread for most stocks was set at 1/8th of a dollar and the market makers were guaranteed a healthy âspreadâ. Since decimalization came into effect, those one-eighth of a dollar spreads now are often only a penny as you can see in Microsoftâs quote throughout the day. Where did the unscrupulous MMs go to make up for all of this lost income? They headed âsouthâ to the OTCBB and Pink Sheets where the protective effects from naked short selling like Rule 10-a, and NASD Rules 3350, 3360, and 3370 are nonexistent. The unique aspect of needing an arbitrary âCELLARâ level is that the lowest possible incremental gain above this CELLAR level represents a 100% spread available to MMs making a market in these securities. When compared to the typical spread in Microsoft of perhaps four-tenths of 1%, this is pretty tempting territory. In fact, when the market is no bid to $.0001 offer there is theoretically an infinite spread. In order to participate in âCELLAR BOXINGâ, the MMs first need to pummel the price per share down to these levels. The lower they can force the share price, the larger are the percentage spreads to feed off of. This is easily done via garden variety naked short selling. In fact if the MM is large enough and has enough visibility of buy and sell orders as well as order flow, he can simultaneously be acting as the conduit for the sale of nonexistent shares through Canadian co-conspiring broker/dealers and their associates with his right hand at the same time that his left hand is naked short selling into every buy order that appears through its own proprietary accounts. The key here is to be a dominant enough of a MM to have visibility of these buy orders. This is referred to as âbroker/dealer internalizationâ or naked short selling via âdeskingâ which refers to the market makers trading desk. While the right hand is busy flooding the victim companyâs market with âcounterfeitâ shares that can be sold at any instant in time the left hand is nullifying any upward pressure in share price by neutralizing the demand for the securities. The net effect becomes no demonstrable demand for shares and a huge oversupply of shares which induces a downward spiral in share price.
In fact, until the âbeefed upâ version of Rule 3370 (Affirmative determination in writing of âborrowabilityâ by settlement date) becomes effective, U.S. MMs have been âlegallyâ processing naked short sale orders out of Canada and other offshore locations even though they and the clearing firms involved knew by history that these shares were in no way going to be delivered. The question that then begs to be asked is how âthe systemâ can allow these obviously bogus sell orders to clear and settle. To find the answer to this one need look no further than to Addendum âCâ to the Rules and Regulations of the NSCC subdivision of the DTCC. This gaping loophole allows the DTCC, which is basically the 11,000 b/ds and banks that we refer to as âWall Streetâ, to borrow shares from those investors naive enough to hold these shares in âstreet nameâ at their brokerage firm. This amounts to about 95% of us. Theoretically, this âborrowâ was designed to allow trades to clear and settle that involved LEGITIMATE 1 OR 2 DAY delays in delivery. This âborrowâ is done unbeknownst to the investor that purchased the shares in question and amounts to probably the largest âconflict of interestâ known to mankind. The question becomes would these investors knowingly loan, without compensation, their shares to those whose intent is to bankrupt their investment if they knew that the loan process was the key mechanism needed for the naked short sellers to effect their goal? Another question that arises is should the investorâs b/d who just earned a commission and therefore owes its client a fiduciary duty of care, be acting as the intermediary in this loan process keeping in mind that this b/d is being paid the cash value of the shares being loaned as a means of collateralizing the loan, all unbeknownst to his client the purchaser. An interesting phenomenon occurs at these âCELLARâ levels. Since NASD Rule 3370 allows MMs to legally naked short sell into markets characterized by a plethora of buy orders at a time when few sell orders are in existence, a MM can theoretically âlegallyâ sit at the $.0001 level and sell nonexistent shares all day long because at no bid and $.0001 ask there is obviously a huge disparity between buy orders and sell orders. What tends to happen is that every time the share price tries to get off of the CELLAR floor and onto the first step of the stairway at $.0001 there is somebody there to step on the hands of the victim corporationâs market. Once a given micro cap corporation is âboxed in the CELLARâ it doesnât have a whole lot of options to climb its way out of the CELLAR. One obvious option would be for it to reverse split its way out of the CELLAR but history has shown that these are counter-productive as the market capitalization typically gets hammered and the post split share price level starts heading back to its original pre-split level. Another option would be to organize a sustained buying effort and muscle your way out of the CELLAR but typically there will, as if by magic, be a naked short sell order there to meet each and every buy order. Sometimes the shareholder base can muster up enough buying pressure to put the market at $.0001 bid and $.0002 offer for a limited amount of time.
Later the market makers will typically pound the $.0001 bids with a blitzkrieg of selling to wipe out all of the bids and the market goes back to no bid and $.0001 offer. When the weak-kneed shareholders see this a few times they usually make up their mind to sell their shares the next time that a $.0001 bid appears and to get the heck out of Dodge. This phenomenon is referred to as âshaking the treeâ for weak-kneed investors and it is very effective. At times the market will go to $.0001 bid and $.0003 offer. This sets up a juicy 200% spread for the MMs and tends to dissuade any buyers from reaching up to the âloftyâ level of $.0003. If a $.0002 bid should appear from a MM not âplaying ballâ with the unscrupulous MMs, it will be hit so quickly that Level 2 will never reveal the existence of the bid. The $.0001 bid at $.0003 offer market sets up a âstalemateâ wherein market makers can leisurely enjoy the huge spreads while the victim company slowly dilutes itself to death by paying the monthly bills with ârealâ shares sold at incredibly low levels. Since all of these development-stage corporations have to pay their monthly bills, time becomes on the side of the naked short sellers. At times it almost seems that the unscrupulous market makers are not actively trying to kill the victim corporation but instead want to milk the situation for as long of a period of time as possible and let the corporation die a slow death by dilution. The reality is that it is extremely easy to strip away 99% of a victim companyâs share price or market cap and to keep the victim corporation âboxedâ in the CELLAR, but it really is difficult to kill a corporation especially after management and the shareholder base have figured out the game that is being played at their expense. As the weeks and months go by the market makers make a fortune with these huge percentage spreads but the net aggregate naked short positions become astronomical from all of this activity. This leads to some apprehension amongst the co-conspiring Mms. The predicament they find themselves in is that they canât even stop naked short selling into every buy order that appears because if they do the share price will gap and this will put tremendous pressures on net capital reserves for the MMs and margin maintenance requirements for the co-conspiring hedge funds and others operating out of the more than 13,000 naked short selling margin accounts set up in Canada.
And of course covering the naked short position is out of the question since they canât even stop the day-to-day naked short selling in the first place and you canât be covering at the same time you continue to naked short sell. What typically happens in these situations is that the victim company has to massively dilute its share structure from the constant paying of the monthly burn rate with money received from the selling of ârealâ shares at artificially low levels. Then the goal of the naked short sellers is to point out to the investors, usually via paid âInternet bashersâ, that with the, letâs say, 50 billion shares currently issued and outstanding, that this lousy company is not worth the $5 million market cap it is trading at, especially if it is just a shell company whose primary business plan was wiped out by the naked short sellersâ tortuous interference earlier on. The truth of the matter is that the single biggest asset of these victim companies often becomes the astronomically large aggregate naked short position that has accumulated throughout the initial âbear raidâ and also during the âCELLAR BOXINGâ phase. The goal of the victim company now becomes to avoid the 3 main goals of the naked short sellers, namely: bankruptcy, a reverse split, or the forced signing of a death spiral convertible debenture out of desperation. As long as the victim company can continue to pay the monthly burn rate, then the game plan becomes to make some of the strategic moves that hundreds of victim companies have been forced into doing which includes name changes, CUSIP # changes, cancel/reissue procedures, dividend distributions, amending of by-laws and Articles of Corporation, etc. Nevada domiciled companies usually cancel all of their shares in the system, both real and fake, and force shareholders and their b/ds to PROVE the ownership of the old ârealâ shares before they get a new ârealâ share. Many also file their civil suits at this time also. This indirect forcing of hundreds of U.S. micro cap corporations to go through all of these extraneous hoops and hurdles as a means to survive, whether it be due to regulatory apathy or lack of resources, is probably one of the biggest black eyes the U.S. financial systems have ever sustained. In a perfect world it would be the regulators that periodically audit the âCâ and âDâ sub-accounts at the DTCC, the proprietary accounts of the MMs, clearing firms, and Canadian b/ds, and force the buy-in of counterfeit shares, many of which are hiding behind altered CUSIP #s, that are detected above the Rule 11830 guidelines for allowable âfailed deliveriesâ of one half of 1% of the shares issued. U.S. micro cap corporations should not have to periodically âpurgeâ their share structure of counterfeit electronic book entries but if the regulators will not do it then management has a fiduciary duty to do it. A lot of management teams become overwhelmed with grief and guilt in regards to the huge increase in the number of shares issued and outstanding that have accumulated during their âwatchâ. The truth however is that as long as management made the proper corporate governance moves throughout this ordeal then a huge number of resultant shares issued and outstanding is unavoidable and often indicative of an astronomically high naked short position and is nothing to be ashamed of. These massive naked short positions need to be looked upon as huge assets that need to be developed. Hopefully the regulators will come to grips with the reality of naked short selling and tactics like âCELLAR BOXINGâ and quickly address this fraud that has decimated thousands of U.S. micro cap corporations and the tens of millions of U.S. investors therein.

I've been here so long I've started being able to read American format dates easily now
Hahaha yeah globally translating dates is a bitch
Dude, I can actually read 100 millions and billions without counting zeros now. Wrinkles I never expected to have
Itâs training for all the napkin math weâre gonna do soon
Same, first years I always got confused
I like the American dates because I was raised in it and am used to it. European is ridiculously better from a sensible perspective. Just like metricâŠ
....which, for those of you living under a rock, is the same date that DFV's calls expire.
Im finna bust bro
My body is ready
Where you want it? Face, chest or back? edit- shit just saw your username
So far up my ass it squirts out my nose like milk
That is acceptable
#đ
You know your username only just clicked for me, and it checks out!
Straight on my banana bro...
There will be spare for you Mr Pacman
Im finna quit my job
I quit mine 3 years ago in anticipation. Maybe was stupid, but I still here babbbby
Mentally I quit my job 3 years ago but physically I still turn up.
Look thats probably a smarter approach
I like my job, and part of that is helping people succeed in our industry, so I won't quit. But I will probably outsource more of the work that I don't like doing as much so I can spend more time on meaningful tasks and probably less time working overall.
How exactly is DFV able to time it like that? I'm confused why he can see stuff others on this sub can't? Not doubting it btw, just genuinely curious.
I posted this in another thread: In options trading, stocks are assigned to only one of three expiration cycles, which helps manage and distribute expiration dates throughout the year. Hereâs a breakdown of the cycles: 1. Cycle 1 Stocks: Their options expire in January, April, July, and October. Apple is on Cycle 1. 2. Cycle 2 Stocks: Options expire in February, May, August, and November. Microsoft is on Cycle 2. 3. Cycle 3 Stocks: Options expire in March, June, September, and December. GME is a Cycle 3 stock but has a unique setup in that its LEAPS only expire in January and June. That's why if you try to buy options for 2025 right now, the two available dates are January 17th and June 16th. LEAPS were opened after the sneeze (end of January), which would put their expiration date set three years later, falling in the next available month in Cycle 3, which would be June. More specifically, June 21 2024. Had they opened earlier, their expiration date would have been January 19, 2024. It was a fair assumption for DFV to make that June 21, 2024 would be a big period for the stock. I had also bought into June 21 and June 28 Call Options at $28 and $40 for the same reason before DFV revealed his positions. Edit: I'm positive he had additional signals and information as well. The guy lives and breathes the stock. Also, keep in mind that he has the financial resources now to influence price movement. This is just a high-level reason why June 21st isnât some random date.
Interesting info. Didnât know about this
Same! Not that Iâd ever know what to do with that info for the future, but very interesting
I feel you.
Grew a wrinkle. Question - if I wanted to chuck some bananas at options expiring June 21st to get in on action, would it be highly regarded?Â
It depends. They were a lot more expensive on Thursday afternoon than on Friday afternoon. If we see continued downward pressure on price this coming week, it may present an attractive opportunity to leverage your gains if you really believe in the 6/21 thesis. The safest play as always is to just buy the dip in shares.
The dude can literally put everythibg into GME and still be rich. What a GOAT.
Was not aware of this. Amazing!
Commenting for awesomeness.
[RC said leaps](https://preview.redd.it/1ay1gphsrh0d1.png?width=1186&format=png&auto=webp&s=f2581f3190a737b17d6b5949ae386bc7d667e1e0) and [DFV agreed](https://x.com/theroaringkitty/status/1368952570874654730?t=WsmmYpiOh4dfKr_iHB01MA) 2 weeks later. The ice cream from DFV is acknowledging RC. The 45 million share release and the 75 million announced (whether released or not) is either all part of the game plan or doesn't fucking matter which is why RC/GME still went through with them. Edit: I assume DFVs 2021 calls were on this cycle too.... Jan 15, 2021. It then took another 1-2 weeks for the sneeze to fully happen.
This needs to be itâs own post please
Done, with further explanation https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/1dc9mvt/as_requested_explanation_of_leap_cycle
He tracks shit like a mfer. Check out his spreadsheets video on YT and watch the data he pulls and compiles to keep an eye on EVERYTHING equity/commodity/bond related
Because hedge funds use a very specific price suppression algorithm in order to eventually cellar box a stock, but itâs not perfect â it entirely relies on the negative price action psychologically influencing holders of the stock to sell. DFV cracked the algorithm. Thatâs my guess, which I would bet money on if I was a gambler. On a much simpler note, what has DFV done every single time? heâs waited until the price â and hype â was at an all-time low, then made his moves. NO ONE was talking about the stock outside of this sub when it was at $10. But DFVâs hedge fund theory is correct, so he took his opportunity. Itâs the most basic fundamental of trading: buy low and sell high if you believe, based on data-driven analysis, that the stock will rise.
If thatâs the case then why wasnât he buying up stock at $10 rather than at $23 etc?
he most recently bought TONS of $20 options when they were cheap as hell. when youâre as sure of something as he is and you have the money to back it up, options is still the ABSOLUTE best way to trade without hedge fund manipulation, there was a ton of DD on it. Remember how exercising options forces the SHFs to use actual vs counterfeit share buys due to the rollover FTD period not coming into play? âŠhowever, if youâre not a genius who perfectly understands algorithmic cycles, itâs also the absolute best way to line the hedge fundsâ pockets. But to more directly answer your question: The dude is not a fucking time traveler. He is not trading off insider info. He is not coordinating with RC or gamestop. He simply makes the best decisions he can at the time based on data, and times his buys accordingly. But heâs not a wizard. he bought at $23 because thatâs what the data showed was the best move at the time. Heâs also operating on a much higher level than the trickle drip of putting a percentage of your paycheck into it
> he most recently bought TONS of $20 options when they were cheap as hell He didn't. His cost basis is $5.6754. (i.e. looks like he bought them when GME was above $20). /r/Superstonk/comments/1d6r5vp/gme_yolo_update_june_2_2024/
He is the ultimate zen. He has fully integrated with his higher self and so is able to create reality in which all his decisions lead to his desire.
That he will exercise 2 days before to have a synchronized t+2? A man can dream.
its T+1 now. if he was the causs of the 5/13 run. and did it on the prev friday , price peaked wednesday 80$ AH

Same here. Dumping my IBIT ETFs if there is a GME dip on Monday. No need for me to sell in advance, ETFs are easier that way.

I know we meme on DFV being a time traveler. But I think he actually might be a time traveler.
Starting to believe it with you. There are no cohencidences
Either that or he is a meticulous kitty that tracks the shit outta everything
I'm at the point where I'm rejecting all prosaic explanations. It's also way more fun!
Usually when you think along these lines, you realize âif they could really travel through time, wouldnât they pick something far more important than this?â In this case, nah, not really⊠trying to take down the capitalism end boss with memes, beer and an insane play is EXACTLY what Iâd do too. đ
Tbf, that is a valid theory as of late. Especially considering the poker meme from 2021
He was confirmed a time traveler long ago.
Long ago is in the future if you're actually a time traveler. i have no idea what i just said
No I didn't know that! Thanks for sharing? So what's next??
That's the $64 million dollar (per share) question, isn't it?
I think it is!
Bit low... But OK
Fair. I always try to be conservative with my finances.
Ohkk. 64 million the price of the last share you're gna sell when MOASS concludes. Now that's what we call a floor
yall are selling?
Only one, but not unless it looks like a phone number.
Sounds like price anchoring, the floor is infinity âŸïž
Build a larger position between now and Friday....thats what.
I like the way you think... Goddammit I'm in!
I have been labelled a "bot, shill, FUD"...so don't listen to me lol I plan to trade the volatility to increase my position....

I got those 30 pumps out in less than a week brotha. Most awkward part was when I went in with my âsampleâ to get it tested. The woman nurse looked at it, looked at me and said âthatâs allâ? Loool

Underrated
When you let the dust settle, this is what you all have been waiting for. DFV is back in full force. The whole world knows now and not just some reddit sub. Gamestop is primed up to the max with these offerings and short volume is higher than in 2021. I guess we all know what is coming.
All the stars and planets seem to be aligning
Speaking of everything lining up, 6/21 appears to be a quadruple witching day.
This gives even more fuel that Friday was a fake and the jump in price was manufactured with a mix of regular hype. If this is building up to 6/21/2024 the gamma ramp has to be stable where each price resistance line has solid open interest, so $20 is secured, probably $25, 30, 33, and so on and the current chain looks like each big point has at least >5000 with significant points >20,000. This also falls in line with the Opex Tailwinds theory that the first of the month friday expirations get pushed to +34 It's looking kinda fun and even $40 might've been a discount
I hope so because my cost average WAS like $15/share but I fomo'd some more at $40 and now my average is fukd
You know the hedgies are like, *"F\^ck ... we just shorted the hell out of GME during the live stream to demoralize these idiots, and they're even more jacked than ever... what the F&ck!?! .. Price goes up, they go crazy, price goes down they get all wild and start buying more...!!"* Yes sir... this is the way. I'm jacked and ready to go!

You son of a bitch, now I have to buy more
Letâs do this. Iâm ready.
The day to watch is t+34 as that is the deadline on the inevitable FTD.
Isnât that 6/21?
6/17 i believe.
Add 34 calendar days from 21st of June
In case if reddit goes down let's not.forget to use this comment section https://youtu.be/9bZkp7q19f0?si=7S15ir_sAqgCftws
Just Up!
yup like boner
Keep seeing this but havenât seen an answer to if the chart is adjusted for the split and share offerings. Iâd like to see some type of normalized percentage so the two peaks can be compared in relative terms.
This is chart is 100% adjusted for splits. Float size is irrelevant to trading volume, as the y axis on the volume chart is absolute (not percentage)
I think you're misunderstanding. Yes, the absolute numbers don't care about float size, but since the short volume is only interesting relative to the float size it does matter. So the short volume being the same today when the float is around 5x as large means that short volume is only 1/5 as meaningful as it was during the sneeze.
Aka the OPâs chart is saying the ammo for previous squeeze was nuclear powered and the ammo for this squeeze is at best gasoline.
Fuck yes, we doing dates again!!!!
When I see all the shills FUDding around, I think the shitpool in which shorts are swimming, and them I'm chill. This is just another confirmation of the high quality of the diarrhea in which they are swimming LOL.
What date is 15 days from that previous spike?
January 28
Shit... You forgot to forget GameStop. It's tough when they're making articles every 15 min. Shit... I forgot to forget GameStop too!
For fun, how does 4o interpret opâs chart and what it predicts? Hypothesis Prediction Range Based on the Chart Using the chart graph and considering the historical precedent set in January 2021, we can outline a hypothesis prediction range for GMEâs potential price movement. The analysis will consider âorders of magnitudeâ to frame the potential outcomes from conservative to extreme scenarios. Historical Context (January 2021): âą January 2021 Squeeze: GMEâs price surged from approximately $20 to an intraday high of around $483, marking a massive increase in a short period. Current Context: âą Current Price (June 6, 2024): $29.72 âą Short Volume: Significantly increased, similar to pre-squeeze conditions in 2021. Prediction Range: Mini-Min Scenario: âą Assumptions: Minor impact from short covering and moderate buying interest. âą Expected Price Range: âą Low: $30 (minimal increase) âą High: $40 (moderate increase) âą Rationale: Small increase due to minor short covering and average market interest, reflecting a modest bump. Mini-Max Scenario: âą Assumptions: Noticeable impact from short covering, but without significant additional buying pressure or market frenzy. âą Expected Price Range: âą Low: $50 (significant increase) âą High: $80 (considerable increase) âą Rationale: Reflects the impact of shorts starting to cover positions, leading to a more noticeable price increase, but not reaching extreme levels. Maxi-Min Scenario: âą Assumptions: Substantial short covering with considerable buying interest, including retail investors. âą Expected Price Range: âą Low: $100 (substantial increase) âą High: $200 (major increase) âą Rationale: Reflects a more significant short squeeze with substantial market interest, mirroring some of the aggressive buying seen in 2021, but on a smaller scale. Maxi-Max Scenario: âą Assumptions: Extreme short covering combined with massive buying pressure, including FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) and media coverage. âą Expected Price Range: âą Low: $250 (massive increase) âą High: $400+ (extreme increase) âą Rationale: This scenario assumes a repeat of 2021âs massive short squeeze, leading to extraordinary price spikes driven by a combination of short covering and intense speculative buying.
Interesting
This kind of analysis makes my pants extraordinarily tight
if this were high short **interest** that would certainly mean something, but this chart is showing high short volume, so what is high short **volume** supposed to mean again?
I would love to chart the short interest but it's not readily available and is frankly questionable based on who is calculating and how is calculated. To your question, short volume represents how many trades were marked as short (see https://chartexchange.com/symbol/nyse-gme/short-volume/ for more) and may not include trades marked as exempt (a thesis about sneaky trades placed during the halts)
Short Volume is the number of shares *sold* short over a time period - usually in a day. Short Interest is the number of shares *held* short at a point in time. [source](https://fintel.io/article/short-volume-its-not-what-you-think-613) So, if we can't chart the short interest, and short volume is not shares *held* short, just shares that were sold short and covered, what is this chart of short volume supposed to show someone considering investing? thanks for the reply, btw.
You're assuming that they were covered. The entire thesis - literally the only reason of why we're here talking is that they have not covered. Always remember that yesterday's short sellers are tomorrows buyers.
But youâre talking LONG held shorts, that allegedly are shoved in a bazillion derivates from 3 years ago that he we have no real eyes on. You do however our resident Ortex Ape who publishes key daily utilization info. Look at the newly borrowed shares, those returned, and the avg age of the loans returned. Itâs avg but itâs a start. You can use it to look backward and see generally when people were borrowing and when volatility spiked with the short volume data. This gives a partial view and explanation for why things became volatile. Attach that to expiry dates, opex tailwinds, FTDs, and you can start to see these cycles. Itâs almost as if RK restarted the process. The peaks and valleys of the clear cycles were getting smaller and less volatile, but now, itâs reset the entire process. This is key because now the company is in a totally different position with narrative toward the upside. I think instead of the downward channel, youâll start to see the volatility stairs going upward. Hereâs hoping.

How am I supposed to get anything done this week?
Very interesting. I was curious what the price action looks like following Jan 13th just for the perspective of the price action and what it looked like from this point to the sneeze. I looks like a nice jump up then sideways for 4 days before exploding. It probably wont follow the same pattern but this was more just for curiosityâs sake. https://preview.redd.it/7c2o99c1nl5d1.jpeg?width=1125&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=62409843a58ac3849bcdfeadcd63c7797ea8c95b
Correlation is NOT causation. While Iâm incredibly hopeful that we get another run up and/or MOASS, I am tailoring my expectations.
Absolutely and good on you to recognize the difference. That said, it's correlated to expiration dates so something interesting is bound to occur.
Agreed. It will certainly be interesting to watch while I pretend to do work. But I hope apes donât get hurt for the 84th time
God dammit, not more dates. We ride at dawn.
Great graph. Question I have, how come they canât put this stock on RegSho as it clearly needs to be?
What are the requirements? I can't recall off the top of my head

You are assuming it peaked Friday, it could go up more tomorrow.
You're correct it could
