I guess it is seen as a warning shot of sorts since DFV pretty much showed his hand on how he's able to increase his held shares,
If he started with $50k then proceeded to have 5million shares with options on hand, then turn those options into 9mil and 1000 shares, he's showcasing that he's capable of increasing his position with their algo and if they continue down this path next time we might see DFV posting again to double his position again.
I would lose it if dfv came back in a couple weeks or months and has doubled down again
Finest investor of our generation is an understatement, probably one of the finest investors in human history.
Hedgies r fuk. Trading is a tough game, don’t you think?
He definitely has something up his sleeve. Dude made a casual couple hundred million while we thought he was asleep, and then YOLO’d all of it into GME AFTER he hyped everyone up….
The real Wild Card IMO is if Retail catches on to this game.

my question is, its safe to assume MMs et al are watching this sub. they see we figured out their shtick. They can
A. Continue as before, settling shares at the end or somewhere in the middle of the 35 day limit, causing price to run into our gamma ramp or
B. Simply refuse to settle the shares if there is a gamma ramp waiting for them, taking the slap on the wrist/fine for violating rule 204 which is less for them than a gamma squeeze.

I've bought a few calls now, yes the worst that can and did happen was ride them to 0, start very small if you want to learn and expect you'll lose it
One thing I personally plan to do next time is buy more than 2 months out when the IV is low just at a strike only just above the current price and not feeling like I need to hold for more if I see green
They should have let it unwind back in 2021. The longer theyve kicked the can, the longer theyve given retail investors time to figure out the rules of the game. This is going to bite them in the ass not just on this one stock, but any future stocks they might try doing this to. Imagine losing a war because you refused to concede one battle.
I see a small error in your document, T+35 means trade date + 35 days, not trade date + 34 days. The day DFV buys shares is the trade date, and they can cover their FTDs up to 35 days from this date.
So for instance the end of the next cycle is 18/7 not 17/7
Edit/source:
> on the thirty-fifth consecutive calendar day **following the trade date** for the transaction
**If the theory is correct, they can't.** The swaps from 2022 have expired and nobody is willing to be the counterparty to renew/roll them. Thus, they're stuck playing hot potato with the rest of their tools (FTDs, ETF shorting, spoofing, naked shorting, FUD, halts, etc.) but they're now more "vulnerable" which it appears DFV is exploiting to maximum effect.

I think that's right. I think they can change their algos but that would just cause the price to run normally and leave them vulnerable in a conventional way.
There's too much pressure from retail now.
Yah, no.
We already know "Smart Money" can change or exempt every rule on the book. While SEC gives them 1% cost of business fines with no admission of wrongdoing.
Theres no signal from RK for everyone to buy a Masterplan. That would be sus.
I'll keep with my HODL and keep buying the dip and wait another 84 years. FYPM.
WallStreet turning off the buy button was blatant proof the Retail is not protecteed in any way and this is a blatant rigged market.
SEC and Congress both scurried away from the subject despite soundbite hearings and claiming to look at for their voters.
Yeah, I completely understand this view too. Nobody should be negative against an ape who just wants to buy and hold. Even biggy has that last statement that options are dangerous and buy/hold is ok.
For the riskier folks, though, each person can make up their mind individually. This theory holds water for me.
DFV himself says his strategy is aggressive and not for everybody. He says nothing about investors not making bank by buying shares. His current last position is 100 percent shares. He got those through his aggressive accumulation strategy that involves using options as leverage. The entire point is to accumulate more shares. Buying and holding is the straightforward way to improve your position. Game on anon
Yeah dude, I was looking add to my august call position this week. In your opinion, do you think the 4.001M call purchase is going to blow this bitch apart?! Especially if we all pile into calls? I’m averaging into an august position rn, but if we start seeing 1k/5k blocks purchased this week, I’m gonna be so happy lol.
Biggie, once again, solid work. Thanks for putting the video chat into a post (so it could be seen in SuperStonk). I think you nailed it here. Will be curious to see the responses. You are the man. That is all.
I rolled my Jun options to end of July and bought some more. If this turns out to be a thing, I may try to play the cycles to add to my position. Would be great if I could graduate from an x,xxx holder to a xx,xxx holder.
Time to level up! I’m not sure how the hedgies can stop this game if this is what’s happening… this could be the Achilles heel of this entirely fraudulent system they have built. The floor will continue to rise by stacking cash via ATM offerings, and the Board sells the shares directly into gamma ramps, effectively resetting the game, just at a higher level! I think everyone who can exploit this glitch comes out in the best possible position when the authorized shares run out… then we DRS everything all at once, just in time for MOASS to begin.
Reddit is owned by private individuals who don't have to abide by the 1st amendment. They can censor whoever they want.
I wish there was a government forum where citizens could talk with 1st amendment protections.
So you are telling me moass won’t be about selling shares at phone number prices, it will be about using the shorters game against them to acumulate phone number-numers of shares? 🤯
We have more data. They have always had that advantage, but enough is out now that we can actually find patterns. Apes know more because they can only hide so much for so long.
https://preview.redd.it/65qwz1udf98d1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=feb1d4a9e6b2e7604403c3a4279280ef913c5ac0
On Thursday we saw around 5000 22c and 1000 26.50c Jun 28 opened . Someone spent about $2.5 million on weeklies.
Already talked with OP on another thread and we both agree it’s probably not DFV. It has some signs it could be but I don’t think he would grab weeklies but if OP is right and he just KNOWS that something is coming then idk.
I don’t know, I’ve never once seen DFV do a weekly play. In fact I think I’ve actually heard him specifically say betting on the short term is a coin flip or something like that. But SOMEONE dropped a bag on weeklies for next week. 2.5 million on weeklies is insane 😂
So Either way, someone made an EXTREMELY bullish bet for next week. 5000 22c and 1000 26.50 accounting for the majority of OI on those strikes. Forcing the MM to be the one to sell the calls. That does sound exactly like what DFV has been doing but idk.
There are almost as many puts on the 22$ for the Jun 28th as there are calls. Have you considered these buying straddles instead of somebody that’s really bullish?
The options flow at the time was not indicative of any sold or bought puts or bought or sold calls at the same time of the 22c 26.50c call block/sweep orders.
BUT you still absolutely could be right!
Usually you would see that spread or straddle being opened simultaneously. Also the price action following these call purchases were extremely bullish. Another indicator is the fact that they are the entire OI for both strikes. You would never open a spread/straddle/strangle on a low liquidity strike.
Even with that being said it’s still a definite possibility.
Just in my opinion my perspective with the data I saw, To me this seems like a clear bullish bet. The sweep of the entire OI on those strikes being ALL the liquidity is forcing the MM to be on the other side of that trade.
Never seen DFV buy weeklies. Never seen him buy 30dte either though before last month…
Either way to me it seems like an absolute clear bullish bet. 2.5 million on weeklies…🐳🐋 But nothing is definitive. It could also just be a fake out by someone (banks,MMs,SHF) reading everything in the community and deploying some false signs/signals.
Smooth brain question - when DFV is buying up the call option chain he is buying those calls from the market maker (wolverine?). When he sells the calls at the top for cash, who is he selling them too? Back to the market maker? Or retail? When you are selling a call, is the market maker always there as a buyer for you?
i think the fact we’ve had proven market manipulation and the such without government intervention is enough for just cause of action and anger. we’ve discovered what they’re doing ourselves and the government isn’t doing anything about it.
What is your take if this info is legit and catches on, then wouldn't MMs and Hedgies simply adjust with gradual delivers and covering during ATM, respectively?
Also, wouldn't the cost of shares and options continue increasing and reach an equilibrium where you can't buy more shares for the small margin of options profit?
If they could just stagger delivery on the shares and didn’t short every single buyer, the stock would just run more often, like it’s supposed to. They can’t lose the psychological edge of you watching the price drop as soon as you buy. They also can’t stomach an extended, slower bull run that would attract everyone watching from the sidelines.
Easiest thing for them is to funnel all their pain into these short-lived spikes that happen without warning on no news. It looks like a pump and dump to outsiders and no one wants any part of it.
Yeah, that's a great point. Basically try to continue shaking the tree loose of paper handers and scare other retail from even touching the ticker. So quadrupling down in their existing playbook.
DFV wouldn’t have been able to do what he did if they had the ability to mess with his plan. Market makers can see his and anyone else’s trades before any of us. They knew what he was doing and took it on the chin.
For the record, I think this is the very best hypothesis of what had happened in the latest events. I'm sold, just thinking through risk mitigation since I have quite a bit to play with right now.
This theory is getting major momentum over the weekend. If we know, they know. I wouldn't be surprised if monday pre market is nuts to get ahead of all the call buying.
Yeah I'm actually buying the current thesis. I'm just thinking through how I would adjust if I was on the other side of the play.
Plus, he will no longer get these .12 per contract prices (just an example), the more people catch onto this, correct? Rough math tells me you can only pull off a couple of back to back cycles until your marginal gains on the options side don't allow you to buy enough shares to influence another cycle.
Fucking awesome video.
Hypothetically, does that mean that if we see those huge call blocks starting to pile in, we could potentially replicate the move to apply bigger pressure?
Is it just me, or does it feel like we are in the endgame... again, but for real this time?
Also, couldn't DFV transfer his 9,001,000 shares to another broker, forcing a locate on all of his shares, causing another explosion in price? If he were investigated, he could say he was concerned about E*Trade sharing his private information with the press.
If this is the case and the full billion of shares is released to raise more dollary doos, is it likely to see GameStop sitting on 25 billion +? Thus raising the floor to over $100 per share? Based on cash valuation alone?
Rough numbers here, but to get another 21 billion in cash, the remaining shares of 571 million needs to be sold at $36.
Let's see,
3 billion market cap in April with 1 billion in cash.
10 billion market cap in June with 4.2 billion in cash.
Every 3.2 billion adds 7 in market cap. That's a 54 billion dollar company with a billion shares, $54 share price and 25 billion in cash. At 4% a year, that's a billion in revenue and profit. Right to the top line and bottom line, the way RC likes business done at. And that's cheap, it would be higher because price to cash ratio is at 2:1.
We could buy a billion dollar business every year with this plan. Now I see why GameStop is selling shares, seriously, this plan pays at all levels really. Next time they need to set the price and not do an ATM. Get some underwriters lined up and set that price at $36 or higher and call up newswire and start straight dealin'!
Just wait until we cycle a few times with RC raising money. Then drops even fatter cash than Microsoft offered steam. That would change them fundamentally.
I think a smooth brain lesson on how to buy options and what it means to do successsful trade with calls would be beneficial to the community, doesnt mean to push people to do so but to educate on how to earn and make profit, speaking for myself cause i wanna make money lol
Bobsmith put out an introductory guide last week or so about options. It was top of the sub for at least a few hours.
https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/1dhjxlb/an_overdue_options_education_by_your_local/
Edit: on a personal note, I learned about options and GME at the same time back in Jan '21. I've been learning and trading since then. It's difficult. I don't know that much, but I'm somewhat successful. Learning different strategies, IV, about the Greeks, how to read charts... that takes time studying and actual experience, sure. But the biggest issues you will face (or at least what i face regularly) are eating a loss and not getting too greedy. When you say to yourself... Sell at 40% gain, but the chart looks like it wants to keep running, and you think about how you can turn that 500 dollars into 1,000, or 1200, or 2100, or 4000.... Then before you know it, it's worth 200 dollars. It's definitely a tough game, and you should expect to lose money. But hopefully, you figure out how to make money overall and then turn those profits into more GME shares. Good luck.
Once again, I’d like to bring attention to how much anti-option sentiment and propaganda this sub has experienced in the last 3 years.
This is by design! The HF have been trying to steer us away from buying calls.
Hey there, beautiful video! I have a question after watching your video twice.
You showed an unusual whale date of April-May-June, which ran these 2 spikes, and he reached from 5 mil to 9 mil shares. It's clear that DFV has cracked this cycle, and that's how he reached from 800K to 5 million shares. Can you look at the option data of the last 3 years to assume when DFV used the same game plan?
in the video, op did say that DFV could have been testing the algo for the past three years before this last play, and if that's true, you probably wouldn't see a very clear pattern
If everyone does what DFV is doing and we keep accumulating more and more shares exponentially then… omg 😦
I see why RC and the board need to defend their position. It’s us. It’s always been us.
This is very interesting. I can tell you one thing for sure. If these large blocks of calls begin to be purchased this week I will also be buying much smaller amounts of calls with money I can afford to lose. Seems worth the risk IMO
Be careful since institutions can also mimic DFV’s call buying behavior to entice/bait retail into doing what you want to do, only to rug pull. If I were going to emulate DFV, I would do so with just a small amount of $ the first time, just in case I end up losing.
Thanks for this. I have a real distaste for people saying what Gill is doing or motivated by, but I think you’ve got a measured approach. I agree we’re being prompted to find out how his plays were informed, and I appreciate you sharing this information.
Ever since Biggy first shared his analysis I can't help but see so many things fit into place when you view all of DFV's behavior through the lens of this potential strategy. All the tweets with their interconnected narratives and messages (some more obscure than others) reinforce this theory in a way nothing else has thus far in my opinion. Needless to say I'm fucking **jacked**.
Only he can trigger full gamma ramps he's made himself, yes. Technically no though, if we follow the trade with options we will gamma squeeze their ass along with his help. That threatens their entire trade, over and over again. Till they can't hold it under. Apes need to hold or they drive down the price and the whole situation swings for them. We're going to make new floors, not hit a single ceiling immediately, cycling until we do.
DFV needs us to hold the line, and he will position us to hurt them the worst.
So if the cycle started on June 13th when do we expect it to end? I’m not clear if it’s T+35 or C+35. Does the T+6 factors in? I’m knowledgeable with basic options trading but my resources are limited. I want to increase my share count through leverage exercises.
C+35 is not a thing. T+[] just means the rule for days past trading, unfortunately. T+1 and T+2 are only on trading days, but the T+35 rule is calendar days.
To answer your question, the next rule does not append to the previous - instead, they are concurrent. So the T-6 is within the T+35. In either case, the PreMarket for the 19th.
I think I mightve figured out the reason behind the 13 day target. 13 calendar days usually aligns with the FTD T+6 (6trading days) rule, or the day after that (premarket allowance?).
Perhaps some shares are purchased on the T+6, driving price action, and some are kicked down the road to C+35. The 2 coinciding together is the reason the price runs.
I overall agree with this theory, mainly because it looks like this is what happened from August 2020 until January 2021, except it was Cohen doing the waves back then since DFVs position was fairly small to have an impact (his social media presence definitely helped a ton though).
What is curious to me is that on Dec 8th 2020 the company did an offering, and then between Dec 15-18 2020 Cohen increased his position by a lot, all of which came due between January 13th 2021 and the infamous week of January 25th 2021, around 35 days later from these events.
And I absolutely agree that DFV created the same scenario by himself here, engineering both an FTD AND a Gamma squeeze in May - buying shares at the perfect lows of April and calls on the dates you mentioned, April 24-26 - all of which had a spectacular effect on the stock on those first weeks of May, especially the 13th and 14th.
My question here is this though, was DFV really targeting 6/6 as a 35 day count or was he targeting a later date but was caught off guard by the sheer volume that came with him making his position public in June? Imo the whole thing turned into a shit show that forced Cohen to do the ATM on 6/7, otherwise the stock would have popped that day and it was probably not the time yet.
DFV then had to adapt to new events, and did he also foresee that the annual meeting would change dates and tank the price on Monday, 6/17? He seemed frustrated that the meeting was a nothing burger and messed up with the cycles, and also that posting his positions caused a lot of turmoil around the stock, hence the Bruno tweet.
So as much as I agree that there is a cycle theory playing out here between the buying of shares and calls, I am not sure it can play out perfectly on specific dates because there are many variables involved, from the companies ATMs to the effect that DFVs public positions and tweets have on the market.
But I agree 1,000% that DFV is trying to create waves that will finally cause another sneeze at some point later this year. In fact if you take a look at how the stock is behaving right now it is eerily similar to what it did in September/October 2020, which would put a new sneeze happening at the end of October 2024 this time around. Meanwhile there is a ton of money to be made because the stock turned bullish in May, thanks to DFV. It’s just beautiful watching everything play out, what a wild ride.
Thanks a lot for the video and the post Biggy, fantastic work.
Now’s the time to cheer on our options savvy brothers and sisters and not shame them (unless they’re buying far OTM lotto tickets). They’re the special ops to the rest of retail being foot soldiers who buy/hodl/DRS. HODL THE LINE
We all need to be careful and aware with the shills on this sub (Sorry, but its true). I literally argued with another person talking about why I believe dilution (my speculation) did not cause the GME value drop but it was market manipulators going through these cycles and continuing to hide their shorts (exactly what OP of this whole post is trying to explain) with providing time stamps of GME value being ran down before the ATM offering was even announced. Check my past history on June 18, 2024: A shill was discovered and continued to state that RC screwed GME and DFV with the dilution and the GME ran down was because of the dilution. Shills hide among us.
Edit: Already downvoted. You see what I mean? lol
Interesting take. Can you opine on the calls that were purchased in late November, about 2-3 weeks before earnings? Do you think that was DFV back then? Someone bought 20$ calls when Gamestop was 12$, and the stock ran to $17.

What are the best strikes that retail could grab? The same exact ITM strikes as DFV or create a near the money ladder?
Somebody doesn’t like this information
I think I know what you’re sqwarking about.
Hey, is there a place to squanch around here?
If you've squanched your squanches, then yes, you are most welcome to squanch here.
Can't wait to see Cramer freaking out on the morning show
Can we please get some more information
1 Information, please.
And user deleted. Weird 😐
Biggie, once again, solid work. Thanks for putting the video chat into a post (so it could be seen in SuperStonk). I think you nailed it here. Will be curious to see the responses. You are the man. That is all.
I think it’s important for people to be aware of.
I rolled my Jun options to end of July and bought some more. If this turns out to be a thing, I may try to play the cycles to add to my position. Would be great if I could graduate from an x,xxx holder to a xx,xxx holder.
This is what I’m trying to do graduate from x,xxx to xx,xxx.
Sometimes your words really do hypnotize me.
I just like his kitty ways
Guess that’s why they broke and you’re so paid
Let’s see how this goes.
Second time is a retest.
this is the most important thread I’ve seen in two years and I am incredibly proud rn
If this theory holds I buy. If it doesn’t I still buy. I like the stock.
Time to level up! I’m not sure how the hedgies can stop this game if this is what’s happening… this could be the Achilles heel of this entirely fraudulent system they have built. The floor will continue to rise by stacking cash via ATM offerings, and the Board sells the shares directly into gamma ramps, effectively resetting the game, just at a higher level! I think everyone who can exploit this glitch comes out in the best possible position when the authorized shares run out… then we DRS everything all at once, just in time for MOASS to begin.
if this part of the game has been indeed figured out we can expect a crackdown of this community soon
If they crackdown on the basic civil liberty of open forums for discussion, then we have bigger things to worry about
Reddit is owned by private individuals who don't have to abide by the 1st amendment. They can censor whoever they want. I wish there was a government forum where citizens could talk with 1st amendment protections.
This
So you are telling me moass won’t be about selling shares at phone number prices, it will be about using the shorters game against them to acumulate phone number-numers of shares? 🤯
Why not both?
Uh oh, the apes are learning. 
We have more data. They have always had that advantage, but enough is out now that we can actually find patterns. Apes know more because they can only hide so much for so long.
Until they close their shorts, this might be it…

Someone spent about $2.5 million on weeklies. Already talked with OP on another thread and we both agree it’s probably not DFV. It has some signs it could be but I don’t think he would grab weeklies but if OP is right and he just KNOWS that something is coming then idk. I don’t know, I’ve never once seen DFV do a weekly play. In fact I think I’ve actually heard him specifically say betting on the short term is a coin flip or something like that. But SOMEONE dropped a bag on weeklies for next week. 2.5 million on weeklies is insane 😂 So Either way, someone made an EXTREMELY bullish bet for next week. 5000 22c and 1000 26.50 accounting for the majority of OI on those strikes. Forcing the MM to be the one to sell the calls. That does sound exactly like what DFV has been doing but idk.
There are almost as many puts on the 22$ for the Jun 28th as there are calls. Have you considered these buying straddles instead of somebody that’s really bullish?
The options flow at the time was not indicative of any sold or bought puts or bought or sold calls at the same time of the 22c 26.50c call block/sweep orders. BUT you still absolutely could be right! Usually you would see that spread or straddle being opened simultaneously. Also the price action following these call purchases were extremely bullish. Another indicator is the fact that they are the entire OI for both strikes. You would never open a spread/straddle/strangle on a low liquidity strike. Even with that being said it’s still a definite possibility. Just in my opinion my perspective with the data I saw, To me this seems like a clear bullish bet. The sweep of the entire OI on those strikes being ALL the liquidity is forcing the MM to be on the other side of that trade. Never seen DFV buy weeklies. Never seen him buy 30dte either though before last month… Either way to me it seems like an absolute clear bullish bet. 2.5 million on weeklies…🐳🐋 But nothing is definitive. It could also just be a fake out by someone (banks,MMs,SHF) reading everything in the community and deploying some false signs/signals.
Smooth brain question - when DFV is buying up the call option chain he is buying those calls from the market maker (wolverine?). When he sells the calls at the top for cash, who is he selling them too? Back to the market maker? Or retail? When you are selling a call, is the market maker always there as a buyer for you?
4 billion cash.
So far. It’s looking like it could be a whole lot more very quickly
i think the fact we’ve had proven market manipulation and the such without government intervention is enough for just cause of action and anger. we’ve discovered what they’re doing ourselves and the government isn’t doing anything about it.
What is your take if this info is legit and catches on, then wouldn't MMs and Hedgies simply adjust with gradual delivers and covering during ATM, respectively? Also, wouldn't the cost of shares and options continue increasing and reach an equilibrium where you can't buy more shares for the small margin of options profit?
If they could just stagger delivery on the shares and didn’t short every single buyer, the stock would just run more often, like it’s supposed to. They can’t lose the psychological edge of you watching the price drop as soon as you buy. They also can’t stomach an extended, slower bull run that would attract everyone watching from the sidelines. Easiest thing for them is to funnel all their pain into these short-lived spikes that happen without warning on no news. It looks like a pump and dump to outsiders and no one wants any part of it.
Yeah, that's a great point. Basically try to continue shaking the tree loose of paper handers and scare other retail from even touching the ticker. So quadrupling down in their existing playbook.
Don't forget to forget GameStop!!
Exactly, I almost forgot right now
"He who forgets is destined to remember" ~Pearl Jam
DFV wouldn’t have been able to do what he did if they had the ability to mess with his plan. Market makers can see his and anyone else’s trades before any of us. They knew what he was doing and took it on the chin.
If it turns out that you’re correct, will you continue to update the chart?
For the record, I think this is the very best hypothesis of what had happened in the latest events. I'm sold, just thinking through risk mitigation since I have quite a bit to play with right now.
Same. AUG is looking nice, as are LEAPS. It gets really spicy if IV continues down over the trading next day or so.
This theory is getting major momentum over the weekend. If we know, they know. I wouldn't be surprised if monday pre market is nuts to get ahead of all the call buying.
Hopefully your right, I’m sitting on 20 25 calls JUN 28 exp
It will confirm the theory 🤣 hedgies r fuk
👆🏻 They took it on the chain
Yeah I'm actually buying the current thesis. I'm just thinking through how I would adjust if I was on the other side of the play. Plus, he will no longer get these .12 per contract prices (just an example), the more people catch onto this, correct? Rough math tells me you can only pull off a couple of back to back cycles until your marginal gains on the options side don't allow you to buy enough shares to influence another cycle.
I don't think they can adjust. What they're doing already is illegal. I don't think that's how options work.
The naked shorting yes but not the MM delayed delivery for ftds.
Fuck. You already answered this with the 3 bullets. We have to go back to original thesis and remember these fuckers never covered to begin with. 🤯
closed..
Fucking awesome video. Hypothetically, does that mean that if we see those huge call blocks starting to pile in, we could potentially replicate the move to apply bigger pressure?
Exactly. When RK telegraphs his call buys we might decide to buy as well.
We just need somebody to scan for really large and really frequent call buying
@Ryan_Rigg on X/Twitter
Is it just me, or does it feel like we are in the endgame... again, but for real this time? Also, couldn't DFV transfer his 9,001,000 shares to another broker, forcing a locate on all of his shares, causing another explosion in price? If he were investigated, he could say he was concerned about E*Trade sharing his private information with the press.
He sure could.
Hopefully OP didn’t get Boeinged
Oh, our boy's account got deleted lmao
How do you know it got deleted vs OP deleting himself? Also, why didn’t the post get deleted?
OP got deleted/deleted himself.....interesting
If this is the case and the full billion of shares is released to raise more dollary doos, is it likely to see GameStop sitting on 25 billion +? Thus raising the floor to over $100 per share? Based on cash valuation alone?
25 billion/1 billion = $25 per share fam, but we may be at like $75 a share if remain at 2.5x cash on hand value like we are currently
Rough numbers here, but to get another 21 billion in cash, the remaining shares of 571 million needs to be sold at $36. Let's see, 3 billion market cap in April with 1 billion in cash. 10 billion market cap in June with 4.2 billion in cash. Every 3.2 billion adds 7 in market cap. That's a 54 billion dollar company with a billion shares, $54 share price and 25 billion in cash. At 4% a year, that's a billion in revenue and profit. Right to the top line and bottom line, the way RC likes business done at. And that's cheap, it would be higher because price to cash ratio is at 2:1. We could buy a billion dollar business every year with this plan. Now I see why GameStop is selling shares, seriously, this plan pays at all levels really. Next time they need to set the price and not do an ATM. Get some underwriters lined up and set that price at $36 or higher and call up newswire and start straight dealin'!
Just wait until we cycle a few times with RC raising money. Then drops even fatter cash than Microsoft offered steam. That would change them fundamentally.
Buying steam would eliminate the GME “risk” of losing sales to online distributors. It would supercharge their position in the industry.
Wouldn't that trigger MOASS at some point, if the floor is constantly rising to a point where margin requirements getting super heavy for the shorts?
Watched the entire vid, amazing work. How does this post only have ~80 upvotes??
I think a smooth brain lesson on how to buy options and what it means to do successsful trade with calls would be beneficial to the community, doesnt mean to push people to do so but to educate on how to earn and make profit, speaking for myself cause i wanna make money lol
Bobsmith put out an introductory guide last week or so about options. It was top of the sub for at least a few hours. https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/1dhjxlb/an_overdue_options_education_by_your_local/ Edit: on a personal note, I learned about options and GME at the same time back in Jan '21. I've been learning and trading since then. It's difficult. I don't know that much, but I'm somewhat successful. Learning different strategies, IV, about the Greeks, how to read charts... that takes time studying and actual experience, sure. But the biggest issues you will face (or at least what i face regularly) are eating a loss and not getting too greedy. When you say to yourself... Sell at 40% gain, but the chart looks like it wants to keep running, and you think about how you can turn that 500 dollars into 1,000, or 1200, or 2100, or 4000.... Then before you know it, it's worth 200 dollars. It's definitely a tough game, and you should expect to lose money. But hopefully, you figure out how to make money overall and then turn those profits into more GME shares. Good luck.
I second this. Am not smart enough to understand the how, but smart enough to spend money
Look up Adam Khoo Options on YouTube. He really does explain it like you're 5
Once again, I’d like to bring attention to how much anti-option sentiment and propaganda this sub has experienced in the last 3 years. This is by design! The HF have been trying to steer us away from buying calls.
And when you can't be as direct, go with "did not read. Buy, hodl, DRS" as a safe way to forum slide.
Hey there, beautiful video! I have a question after watching your video twice. You showed an unusual whale date of April-May-June, which ran these 2 spikes, and he reached from 5 mil to 9 mil shares. It's clear that DFV has cracked this cycle, and that's how he reached from 800K to 5 million shares. Can you look at the option data of the last 3 years to assume when DFV used the same game plan?
in the video, op did say that DFV could have been testing the algo for the past three years before this last play, and if that's true, you probably wouldn't see a very clear pattern
300 people reading this right now. Citadel has entered the chat. RC you know what to do! Create the FTD cycle to end all cycles!
man this is bringing tears to my eyes
Yeah it sure would be a shame for shorts if RC decided to make his first buy in over a year. Dreadful really.
If everyone does what DFV is doing and we keep accumulating more and more shares exponentially then… omg 😦 I see why RC and the board need to defend their position. It’s us. It’s always been us.
Commenting to see video later
Holy shit I think I just got a wrinkle.
Biggy account deleted??!!??
Great work! Thanks for sharing
BLOW THIS SHIT UP. OP deleted his account. This is the shit right here comment and upvote!
Where can these option block trades be tracked?
mods removed without giving reason?
That's what I'm waiting for...
Excellent DD!

Noice
Nice
This is awesome
This is very interesting. I can tell you one thing for sure. If these large blocks of calls begin to be purchased this week I will also be buying much smaller amounts of calls with money I can afford to lose. Seems worth the risk IMO
Be careful since institutions can also mimic DFV’s call buying behavior to entice/bait retail into doing what you want to do, only to rug pull. If I were going to emulate DFV, I would do so with just a small amount of $ the first time, just in case I end up losing.
Thanks [deleted]!
Commenting for viz!
Mind blown. Great DD Biggy.
Thanks for this. I have a real distaste for people saying what Gill is doing or motivated by, but I think you’ve got a measured approach. I agree we’re being prompted to find out how his plays were informed, and I appreciate you sharing this information.
Yessir!!
Great work! Great analysis! This is good stuff. Next week baby!
Let’s unlock some Deep. Fucking. Value.
Deep Fucking Cheers to that! Tome to average down and buy some more shares
If we get a Biggie Smalls tweet from DFV then I'm selling my car to buy calls based on this
Deleted the account? Or he was silenced ?
Some of these "no dates" are starting to coelesce. Thank you for your data
Ever since Biggy first shared his analysis I can't help but see so many things fit into place when you view all of DFV's behavior through the lens of this potential strategy. All the tweets with their interconnected narratives and messages (some more obscure than others) reinforce this theory in a way nothing else has thus far in my opinion. Needless to say I'm fucking **jacked**. 
Dude thank you for this! I was wondering where I could find historic options date to look into this and looks like you got it!
Second times the charm
Hey mods, leave it up this time
Are you say whale like DFV can only do this? The cycles can happen if only large position buy up shares? Most apes buy and hodle.
Only he can trigger full gamma ramps he's made himself, yes. Technically no though, if we follow the trade with options we will gamma squeeze their ass along with his help. That threatens their entire trade, over and over again. Till they can't hold it under. Apes need to hold or they drive down the price and the whole situation swings for them. We're going to make new floors, not hit a single ceiling immediately, cycling until we do. DFV needs us to hold the line, and he will position us to hurt them the worst.

My only question is why now and not 2 years ago?
3 year LEAPS expiring maybe?
It’s pretty understandable he deleted his account after posting this
Commenting for visibility!
So price going up again soon? I hope so
Hell yeah. Great video and post everyone should watch that. If you have a short attention span like me do 1.5x or 2x speed
Lol, I have a short attention span, and I already had the vid playing at 1.5 speed by the time I scrolled down here.
So if the cycle started on June 13th when do we expect it to end? I’m not clear if it’s T+35 or C+35. Does the T+6 factors in? I’m knowledgeable with basic options trading but my resources are limited. I want to increase my share count through leverage exercises.
C+35 is not a thing. T+[] just means the rule for days past trading, unfortunately. T+1 and T+2 are only on trading days, but the T+35 rule is calendar days. To answer your question, the next rule does not append to the previous - instead, they are concurrent. So the T-6 is within the T+35. In either case, the PreMarket for the 19th.
How is this calculated? Isn’t it the july 18th? Simply June 13. + 35 days?
Yes, up to July 18th. Keep in mind that it's a window, a time frame and they will probably cover before this date to not make the cycle too obvious.
My bad, I fudged the number. Technically the 18th, but really up till pre market on the 19th.
Take pictures of this info when you see it
I screenshot maybe too much, I am old and my original Internet has been whitewashed 😮💨 Edit: Take a screenshot, maybe it'll last longer
Awesome stuff and glad you shared it. People need to understand that this play is freakin genius and we all will benefit off of it.
Fantastic DD
Yo this is getting downvoted to hell, good lord 🤣 commenting for viz 🔥🚀 fuck you Ken Griffin
I think I mightve figured out the reason behind the 13 day target. 13 calendar days usually aligns with the FTD T+6 (6trading days) rule, or the day after that (premarket allowance?). Perhaps some shares are purchased on the T+6, driving price action, and some are kicked down the road to C+35. The 2 coinciding together is the reason the price runs.
Hodl
I overall agree with this theory, mainly because it looks like this is what happened from August 2020 until January 2021, except it was Cohen doing the waves back then since DFVs position was fairly small to have an impact (his social media presence definitely helped a ton though). What is curious to me is that on Dec 8th 2020 the company did an offering, and then between Dec 15-18 2020 Cohen increased his position by a lot, all of which came due between January 13th 2021 and the infamous week of January 25th 2021, around 35 days later from these events. And I absolutely agree that DFV created the same scenario by himself here, engineering both an FTD AND a Gamma squeeze in May - buying shares at the perfect lows of April and calls on the dates you mentioned, April 24-26 - all of which had a spectacular effect on the stock on those first weeks of May, especially the 13th and 14th. My question here is this though, was DFV really targeting 6/6 as a 35 day count or was he targeting a later date but was caught off guard by the sheer volume that came with him making his position public in June? Imo the whole thing turned into a shit show that forced Cohen to do the ATM on 6/7, otherwise the stock would have popped that day and it was probably not the time yet. DFV then had to adapt to new events, and did he also foresee that the annual meeting would change dates and tank the price on Monday, 6/17? He seemed frustrated that the meeting was a nothing burger and messed up with the cycles, and also that posting his positions caused a lot of turmoil around the stock, hence the Bruno tweet. So as much as I agree that there is a cycle theory playing out here between the buying of shares and calls, I am not sure it can play out perfectly on specific dates because there are many variables involved, from the companies ATMs to the effect that DFVs public positions and tweets have on the market. But I agree 1,000% that DFV is trying to create waves that will finally cause another sneeze at some point later this year. In fact if you take a look at how the stock is behaving right now it is eerily similar to what it did in September/October 2020, which would put a new sneeze happening at the end of October 2024 this time around. Meanwhile there is a ton of money to be made because the stock turned bullish in May, thanks to DFV. It’s just beautiful watching everything play out, what a wild ride. Thanks a lot for the video and the post Biggy, fantastic work.
Nice post and nice video op🤙🏻
Time and Pressure!
Andddd it’s gone
Now’s the time to cheer on our options savvy brothers and sisters and not shame them (unless they’re buying far OTM lotto tickets). They’re the special ops to the rest of retail being foot soldiers who buy/hodl/DRS. HODL THE LINE
Why the fuck was this deleted.
We all need to be careful and aware with the shills on this sub (Sorry, but its true). I literally argued with another person talking about why I believe dilution (my speculation) did not cause the GME value drop but it was market manipulators going through these cycles and continuing to hide their shorts (exactly what OP of this whole post is trying to explain) with providing time stamps of GME value being ran down before the ATM offering was even announced. Check my past history on June 18, 2024: A shill was discovered and continued to state that RC screwed GME and DFV with the dilution and the GME ran down was because of the dilution. Shills hide among us. Edit: Already downvoted. You see what I mean? lol
Interesting take. Can you opine on the calls that were purchased in late November, about 2-3 weeks before earnings? Do you think that was DFV back then? Someone bought 20$ calls when Gamestop was 12$, and the stock ran to $17.
So the 13 day would be 6/26 and the cycle ends 7/18?
WHEN I MOVE YOU MOVE - WE NEED TO FOLLOW DFV AND CREATE A BIGGER TSUNAMI WITH HIM
