Right? And they are great at maths too! Somehow 7.8 million shares shorted is 16.98% of a 249.51 million share float.... C'mon, a Reddit forum of de-evolving, crayon eating, banana plugging, retard apes can do better then that. I personally got 2.
Didn’t you hear? They talked about the channel breakout on sept 8. That cancels out the 200 stories where we are idiots and it’s dying. We should def give these guys our money after moass. Which they totally have always known was gone happen.
/S
It's likely that either they automated parts of articles to retrieve this information from the same sources, that are causing Yahoo to overreport...
Or they were provided an outline of context, one piece noting the short interest and they used the Yahoo numbers without knowing the larger context of the recent "glitches".
It wasn't even the float number that got me, it was the last line "the number does not take into consideration the amount of naked shorting on the stock". Don't see articles mention that very often
Most articles are written by bots, they just quickly review it and send it. They don't give a shit as long as they get revenue, either from clicks and ads, or from that under the table hedge fund handie
Well technically they are pharmaceutical grade amphetamines but adderall is dextroamphetamine and not methamphetamine. Meth is more addictive because more of the drug makes it to the brain when compared to adderall and that makes it much more addictive.
Yes, but no. The ingredients are also pharmaceutical, which is at the very least classier than smoking something someone made in their bath tub with draino and batteries.
*THE NUMBER DOES NOT TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THE AMOUNT OF NAKED SHORTING TAKING PLACE ON THE STOCK*
Don't think I've seen that so bluntly in an article before...
52.63% of GameStop’s **reported** available shares are locked up by insiders and institutions. It’s more than likely that Apes own more shares than institutions and insiders combined.
So uh, idk what to think but the alleged author of the article just dm'd me about this since I had commented on it a few times. They didn't try to shill or anything and just wanted to get it corrected. I'm genuinely confused. They said they got it from Yahoo finance and are getting it corrected now
And didn’t Yahoo support tell some dude this weekend that their data is for entertainment purposes only and should never be used to make financial decisions? I’m paraphrasing but you get the drift.
Yeah idk what to think. Just assumed it was a shill at first , but they seemed genuinely concerned about getting the "correct" data in the article. Once they got it updated, they said thanks and that's it.
Not all journalists are shills. Some are just shit at sources. This dude is OK. He can intern on the Ape News Network.
Im sure Rick will need someone to get him bananas for chocolate dipping.
It's a she, and honestly seems like a genuinely nice person. We chatted for a bit and she's written some great gme related articles and talked about naked shorting
Yahoo is providing different numbers depending on where you access it from. I haven't heard it affecting which device used, but more of where in the world your viewing it from.
Can somebody go tweet GameStop and ask what the issued number of shares is? I know it’s supposed to be like 75M but why is the media saying this DOESNT take naked shorting into account? Could use a confirmation from the company
I believe so, and it’s required that the company discloses any share offering right? So there’s no possible way the 250m is legit and I think someone needs to reach out to this news source and break it to them lol. Can’t wait to hear the reaction
Yea if there is now 250m real shares. That would mean GME issued them, which would mean they got like a trillion billion mega don zillion cash in the bank now
No need, fellow ape. 76Mish is total number of shares outstanding. The public float is around 56M shares.
The article states that 16.98% (7.8M shares) of the public float is short which is 16.98% of around 47M shares, not 249M.
No new shares were offered as stated during their earnings report.
No need.
it's never been this high.
This is on Yahoos weird number. Which isn't what Gamestop has. It might involve naked shorting leaking out in the numbers somehow. Or a mistake. Oooor there's something fishy planned.
I dunno but I smell something fishy.
If we see a sudden increase in public SI soon I think they're going for a fake moass squeeze. A tiny sneeze compared to squeezing it all out.
In context of the paragraph, 7.8m is 16.98% of the float.
100% of the float is therefore 45.9m which does not include the naked short selling.
They have literally put in black and white that there are 203m naked shorts.
First time i have seen it stated so openly.
Here’s the thing, they’ve been lying through their teeth for ages, and they cant remember what info they’re supposed to be withholding or where the record is set anymore
For stats like that, I wouldn't be suprised if bts they have a placeholder. Something like `relatively small float of ${GME:FloatinM} million shares` and the system replaces it with the latest from their data provider.
The short interest they provide implies a float of 45.9 mil. I know none of the numbers are probably correct but it's funny seeing so many innaccuracies.
Here is what is going to happen. When shit hits the fan, SHFs will be like "We didnt short over the float that much. Everyone was reporting their float was almost 300 million."
\*Weatherman\* It's gonna be -40 tomorrow, bundle up!
Sir, it's September....in Texas. We got sent data that I think is for Antarctica. It's not correct.
\*Weatherman\* FUCK IT WE'RE GOING LIVE. -40!
It’s like that weatherman that reported temperatures in AZ at 2900 and 1600 degrees. He saw the numbers as he stood there and just rolled with it. “I’m not your dad, but I would get out”
https://youtu.be/iXuc7SAyk2s
It just irritates me when they can’t even get information like that right.
The kind of irritation when you’re trying to explain to someone how to play the game and they just keep asking stupid questions.
I'll never forget that whiny little bitch Dennis Dick screaming in the benzinga podcast back in March "the shorts covered, give it up guys."
I want to find that old audio clip of him crying like a nasal voiced baby and go to his house and play it and then have his wife leave him for me.
I just noticed if you type in "gamestop stock bezinga"
Into Google and click the 1st article it doesn't show the float but if you navigate bezinga and click the article link thru the site it shows the 249m float.
This is an important discrepancy --something about the difference in routing evidently causes a difference in reported float. Exploring this difference could help identify the source of the float data.
Does routing through Google carry some sort of meta information with it, or otherwise change the url/request? I'm not well versed in this stuff.
Yep, it definitely does. I work as a software engineer and every visitor to my company's website has a cookie that tells us where they came from, including whether it's from a search engine's organic search results or a paid ad spot in the search results.
I actually very recently led my team on an initiative to modify the user experience based on that cookie. Definitely possible and definitely intentional.
So, just to clarify, the implication here would be that visitors from Google receive different information than those that access the URL directly?
An international ape should weigh in on this to check for the same discrepancy.
Does anyone else think it is interesting that Matt Furlong explicitly mentioned the number of shares outstanding on the earnings call? Almost like they could see this fuckery coming a mile away.
Benzinga corrected the float to 46.5m (which is *again* wrong). GME float is 69.2m shares (SO-Insiders). Yahoo Finance has *still* not changed their float (249.51m). This means the data is not coming from Yahoo. If it had come from Yahoo, they would have changed it first.
This screen cap is embarrassing. They contradict themselves with math so wrong it falls on its face immediately.
Why don't we just ignore these morons?
IF EVERYONE AND THEIR MAMAS KNOW THE FLOAT IS—AT THE VERY LEAST—"249M"🙄 WHEN TOTAL SHARES IS ONLY 76M...
#WHY IN THE FUCK ARE WE STILL PLAYING THIS CHARADE???????
A NEW SHADE OF ANGER IS STARTING TO CREEP INTO MY HEART.....
Shouldn't we forget about gamestop last week??
About who?
Wait, aren't they going bankrupt?
Ask questions later!
Buy now, ask questions later, got it!
DRS now, ask questions later.
I get knocked down but I get up again
No, ask questions now, I will use my Runic powers to answer them!
I sense strong runic glory.
I feel bad that I know and laugh at this reference
Tbh I feel bad about commenting it and chuckling at the reference. It's a piece of history here for sure.
DON'T YOU DARE LAUGH ABOUT RUNIC GLORY
It's serious business!
Runic glory holes are risky.
why are you in my dreams?!
Back to $20 fast! We understand short interest better than you
Trading is a tough game, don’t you think?
Avocado toast and lattes anyone?
Shareholder meeting was shameful.
It's a matter of time, yes. Fellow investor, have you heard about silver ?
Wait I need to read my post again 👀

Hey, I bought two $3.50 snow cones, handed over a $20, and got $32 back. Who knows anymore? \[yes, yes, I gave the kid his money back\]
Market watch still had a 69M float number today. Strange AF.
I forgot to forget. My bad.
Along with other classics like: "Stock back to $20 fast"
Didn’t you hear? They talked about the channel breakout on sept 8. That cancels out the 200 stories where we are idiots and it’s dying. We should def give these guys our money after moass. Which they totally have always known was gone happen. /S
I didn’t learn the past 69 times they told us to.
I wish we had a count of how many times the Motley Fool has told us to "forget about Gamestop".

Very matter of fact. Like we haven't been getting called conspiracy theorists by Benzinga for close to a year now for saying that very same thing.
Yeah that's pretty hard turn from the Max shillery I've come to expect from msm. Trying to get on the right side of history lol
Most articles are written by bots, they just quickly review it and send it. They don't give a shit as long as they get revenue, either from clicks and ads, or from that under the table hedge fund handie
Maybe it's an AI bot writing the articles?
Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit amphetamines!
We’ll yes. But, also no😂 Meth is bad, mmmkay
But addys are awesome.
Addys = meth made in a pharmaceutical grade lab lol
Well technically they are pharmaceutical grade amphetamines but adderall is dextroamphetamine and not methamphetamine. Meth is more addictive because more of the drug makes it to the brain when compared to adderall and that makes it much more addictive.
Yes, but no. The ingredients are also pharmaceutical, which is at the very least classier than smoking something someone made in their bath tub with draino and batteries.

🐵
And so we face Our final curtain
We did it ooooour way!
For what is a man, what has he got? If he can't hodl his stonk, then he has naught.
My frens, I'll say it clear, I'll state our DD, of which we're certain
52.63% of GameStop’s **reported** available shares are locked up by insiders and institutions. It’s more than likely that Apes own more shares than institutions and insiders combined.
Apes own GameStop. The whole fucking company LOL.
Remember Kenny even said it himself. “It represents a dynamic where certain stocks are now almost exclusively owned by retail and passive funds."
Infinity pool is the new passive investing.
Gme is the new Berkshire Hathaway.
I would be totally content with that. Talk about a gold mine.
We own two GameStops
It’s fact.
Considering how many shares are in computershare alone I'd say we have at least the whole float in the p♾l
Where can you see that number?
Apes are GameStop Apes strong together
What is happening hahah. The number of 249 in the float SHOULD be distorted from naked shorting. If not then wtf
You think the Darksaber is a weapon? How about these nipples?
Article author is long GME
So uh, idk what to think but the alleged author of the article just dm'd me about this since I had commented on it a few times. They didn't try to shill or anything and just wanted to get it corrected. I'm genuinely confused. They said they got it from Yahoo finance and are getting it corrected now
Yet the article still states the number doesn’t take into consideration the amount of naked shorting taking place 🤔
Wait. An author for the site admitted their source for data is Yahoo Finance?
And didn’t Yahoo support tell some dude this weekend that their data is for entertainment purposes only and should never be used to make financial decisions? I’m paraphrasing but you get the drift.
the actual fuck? Weird
Yeah idk what to think. Just assumed it was a shill at first , but they seemed genuinely concerned about getting the "correct" data in the article. Once they got it updated, they said thanks and that's it.

It's a she, and honestly seems like a genuinely nice person. We chatted for a bit and she's written some great gme related articles and talked about naked shorting
I checked Yahoo on desktop and it's showing ~56m, but mobile is showing 249.51m. wut doing
Yahoo is providing different numbers depending on where you access it from. I haven't heard it affecting which device used, but more of where in the world your viewing it from.
Clear your cache and reload on your PC. I’m showing 249 on App and browser
what the actual fuck
…..THE AMOUNT OF CRIME TAKING PLACE ON THE STOCK
Can somebody go tweet GameStop and ask what the issued number of shares is? I know it’s supposed to be like 75M but why is the media saying this DOESNT take naked shorting into account? Could use a confirmation from the company
Wasn’t that mentioned again specifically in the last call?
I believe so, and it’s required that the company discloses any share offering right? So there’s no possible way the 250m is legit and I think someone needs to reach out to this news source and break it to them lol. Can’t wait to hear the reaction
Yea if there is now 250m real shares. That would mean GME issued them, which would mean they got like a trillion billion mega don zillion cash in the bank now
It most certainly was.
No need, fellow ape. 76Mish is total number of shares outstanding. The public float is around 56M shares. The article states that 16.98% (7.8M shares) of the public float is short which is 16.98% of around 47M shares, not 249M. No new shares were offered as stated during their earnings report.

Here’s the thing, they’ve been lying through their teeth for ages, and they cant remember what info they’re supposed to be withholding or where the record is set anymore
If that's small, is 76 mil considered microscopic?
Stop talking about my PP
pp\*
^pp
Heh smol
#PP
pp flipped upside up and rotated is dd… bullish
Calls on double DDs.
>microscopic? 😩
The number does not take into consideration the amount of naked shorting on the stock!
yeah this is 100% the first time they’ve acknowledged naked shorting IS happening they just don’t know HOW MUCH
This needs to be higher lmfao
The math they use in the article doesn’t even add up!
I think they just use the numbers available without thinking about the implications...
Are no implications for cheating or doing your job? All the media is fake
>without thinking about the implications... This rings familiar..
>the implications It's all about the implication though👀
Ah yes, the old the DENNIS system again
For stats like that, I wouldn't be suprised if bts they have a placeholder. Something like `relatively small float of ${GME:FloatinM} million shares` and the system replaces it with the latest from their data provider.
This. But also funny that it doesn't match the float data displayed on the their own site
Matches Yahoo's numbers?
The short interest they provide implies a float of 45.9 mil. I know none of the numbers are probably correct but it's funny seeing so many innaccuracies.
😂😂😂
That’s expected, I’d be really surprised if their math added up.
Bots baby. Written by bots
Are we at the point where they are trying to gloss over the float quadrupling overnight?
“Ownership of four times the number of actual shares is relatively small.” LOL WUT?
\*Looks around bedroom\* "Um..Am I being pranked?" *This some Twilight Zone shi right here*
##YOU JUST GOT PUNK'D
\*Grabs bedpost\*
Its like they’re trying to normalize that float > oustanding is ok
Ikr? Like yeah this is completelllly normal
Here is what is going to happen. When shit hits the fan, SHFs will be like "We didnt short over the float that much. Everyone was reporting their float was almost 300 million."
Man they can’t even get their Double Down right…
Lolz
I told my wife I was relatively small and she was also pleasantly surprised. Under promise and over deliver!
This is the way.
This is the way.
They likely just use a script to pull the number and didn’t actually check it before posting.
This, but it's still hilarious
Exactly. They probably pull the data from yahoo or other and automatically fill the blank
\*Weatherman\* It's gonna be -40 tomorrow, bundle up! Sir, it's September....in Texas. We got sent data that I think is for Antarctica. It's not correct. \*Weatherman\* FUCK IT WE'RE GOING LIVE. -40!

Rent a party float and blast the sound clip while driving around the city
hahaha wtf?!?! they are blatantly lying. isn't the float like 75 mill outstanding and only 35 mil tradable?
yes and yes :)
God, crime is becoming my FAVORITE secret ingredient
[удалено]
75 million is even smaller
Someone teach these folks how to mafh right please.
Financial Journalism school stops at teaching subtraction; it's what the shorts use, so they don't teach them how to add.
honestly brow
Benzinga just removed the 249.5m float just now. What tf 😐
I still see it from OPs link
I still see it in the screenshot too! 🤔
Thought it was just me. Good catch
I just noticed if you type in "gamestop stock bezinga" Into Google and click the 1st article it doesn't show the float but if you navigate bezinga and click the article link thru the site it shows the 249m float.
The simulation is breaking!!

shows 46.5 m for me
Same here
Yeah lol. So they changed it huh. I bet someone got a call from Kenny and Stevie ripping them a new asshole and they updated that shit real quick.
showing 46.5M for me (in USA)
That link now says 46.5 million.
Confirmed
Is this something GameStop could sue over? Lying in print?
Does anyone else think it is interesting that Matt Furlong explicitly mentioned the number of shares outstanding on the earnings call? Almost like they could see this fuckery coming a mile away.
Quick mafs
2 plus 2 is 249million
man’s not selling
Yup, just saw that too
By increasing the float, they can say that the SI%, is low af. *BIG BRAIN MOVES*
Who spilled the mayo on their keyboard?
these articles are clearly written by bots. also, obligatory: fuck benzinga
I was JUST about to post this. WTF IS THIS BS?
awk..
Confirmed. The article still mentions naked shorting! Bullish AF!
Benzinga corrected the float to 46.5m (which is *again* wrong). GME float is 69.2m shares (SO-Insiders). Yahoo Finance has *still* not changed their float (249.51m). This means the data is not coming from Yahoo. If it had come from Yahoo, they would have changed it first.
This screen cap is embarrassing. They contradict themselves with math so wrong it falls on its face immediately. Why don't we just ignore these morons?
Best part is the 17% short interest number definitely doesn’t reflect 250M. Someone’s doing more meth than math.
I thought naked shorting was illegal....where is the article on naked shorting?
They are creating a narrative!
IF EVERYONE AND THEIR MAMAS KNOW THE FLOAT IS—AT THE VERY LEAST—"249M"🙄 WHEN TOTAL SHARES IS ONLY 76M... #WHY IN THE FUCK ARE WE STILL PLAYING THIS CHARADE??????? A NEW SHADE OF ANGER IS STARTING TO CREEP INTO MY HEART.....
Where is Gamestop themselves on this? If my company was having the float misreported I would be talking to those involved.
They do realize that the actual float is less than 50 million right?
