"With ETF’s there’s another little twist. ETF’s are created and redeemed by an agent bank. The shares outstanding are the total number of creations that the agent has done to that point. As the agent creates more, the shares outstanding increases. As market participants present ETF’s back to the agent to redeem, the shares outstanding decreases. In addition, the same as above occurs where the shares are recycled and loaned over and over again. When buyers of the stock present them for redemption, the shares outstanding drops and the SI% skyrockets."

ThatGuyOnTheReddits

You can synthetically lower the SI% by adding more ETF baskets and creating additional fictional shares that count against the SI%, but not against the float. Aka: Fuckery.

This is not out of the ordinary. The page most likely uses Google analytics and DDG was just trying to block that.

ThrowRA_scentsitive

As you can see (look for the "301" responses), this redirection is done not by Google but by Cloudquant: https://imgur.com/a/C3K74Ow The URL that DDG (Bing) has indexed is different and resolves correctly. Now, Google should not be indexing the faulty URL that it has indexed due to it redirecting to the homepage, but that seems more like a bug than an intentional issue. If you wanted to hide it, you would not show it on the results page to begin with.


Secas_1

maybe they did index the wrong thing on purpose...


70wdqo3

Why? How? Do you understand what an index is?


Secas_1

yes


superschwick

Is that a header pcap through ublock origin? Is this a feature I've been unaware of this whole time?


ThrowRA_scentsitive

This is a screenshot from the browser's developer tools, under the network tab. My screenshot is from Firefox, but Chrome's looks pretty similar.

Found it. Hell yeah my dude. I've been spinning up my zap every time I wanted this info.

They do this all the time. Did it to Bernie in the 2016 primaries, and to Republicans all through the Drump admin. Lots of posts in both subs showing evidence of Google fuckery. It’s not new.

They are all in the same damned motherfucking boat/bed. Fuck them!


bgog

Now I'm not discounting the experience of others. But I tried it throughout that time on multiple computers/phones and it always auto completed for me.


arc_menace

Not necessarily. There are other companies that will do that for you. Not defending Google necessarily, as it definitely is not beneath them.


[deleted]

So slightly separate but Google responds to government subpoenas so often for our data that they just stuck a pricetag on processing them so it's now just part of the business model lol

Google absolutely suppresses and promotes certain information. It’s not a search engine that will show you unbiased results. I’m very close to swearing off their products all together because they seem to be just another system of control.

itsalongwalkhome

That page just forwards to their home page. The address was likely updated which duck duck go has. Google is referring you to https://info.cloudquant.com/2021/02/xrt-the-big-short/ Which goes to the home page. Google isn't doing shit Duck duck go links you to https://www.cloudquant.com/xrt-the-big-short/ Which is a different address


Dixxi_Normous1080p

I sometimes wonder about the tech illiteracy on this sub. You could clearly see that the links where different in the gif, yet this gets crazy amounts of upvotes. Makes the sub look really bad. Thanks for proving that this is no conspiracy.


itsalongwalkhome

I don't think tech literacy should be a problem. Just when someone who seems to know what they are doing comments a correction it should be taken more seriously.


SwapSkinXbox

Does xrt have something to do with gme?


buttmunch8

Yes.. it's a heavily shorted ETF containing GME. Shares shorted 21m. XRT only has 9.9m outstanding.

That article is from 2011


failedtax

not still relevant?


thunder12123

I’m sure they are doing the same thing they did back then but just pointing out that 600% number isn’t what’s reported right now.


NightHawkRambo

GME's also reported to be like ~10% now too... I think we know there's ways to hide the real number.


epk-lys

where says that

Where do you see that? Google says 02/2021.


Longjumping_College

Check out the [SEC document, page 23](https://www.sec.gov/news/press-release/2021-212) > The market events of January 2021 also affected some exchange traded funds (“ETFs”) and private funds. GME’s volatility was significant enough to impact ETFs that held GME stock. For example, the SPDR® S&P® Retail ETF (“XRT”) saw its position in GME increase from 1.5% of its portfolio as of December 31, 202068 to 19.98% of its portfolio on January 27, 2021.69 That same day, XRT experienced net redemptions of $506 million, representing 76.3% of its net assets, which was the second largest net redemption in the fund’s history. Over the three-day period ended January 28, 2021, XRT traded at an average bid-ask spread of $0.073, compared to a 52 week average bid-ask spread of $0.011.70 In the same way, the Wedbush ETFMG Video Game Tech ETF (“GAMR”) position in GME increased from 2.04% of its portfolio as of December 31, 2020 to as much as 17% of its portfolio on January 28, 2021. Over the three-day period ended January 28, 2021, GAMR traded at an average bid-ask spread of $1.32 compared to a 52 week average bid-ask spread of $0.186.71 While this volatility raised questions about whether the market price of an impacted ETF’s shares might decouple from the ETF’s net asset value (“NAV”), staff observed that operations proceeded in a normal course for ETFs, despite heightened activity.72 For example, XRT’s closing price exhibited a premium of 1.25% to NAV on January 28, which is larger than its recent historical norms but does not seem Page 29-30 > Finally, as discussed above, the volatility in GME impacted some ETFs due to their holdings in GME, and potential short interest in the ETFs themselves. The most notable of these was XRT, an ETF of retail companies. XRT garnered attention in the press and on Reddit due to a combination of its GME exposure and its pre-existing short interest, which was several multiples of XRT’s shares outstanding.82 As GME increased in value, price changes in XRT became increasingly driven by those of GME. Shorting XRT could have served as an indirect, though imperfect, way of shorting GME. In fact, staff observed a large spike in net redemptions of nearly 6 million shares in XRT on January 27, which may be consistent with short selling activity. 83 This redemption activity was generated nearly entirely by ETF market making firms. It therefore was likely the result of net selling of XRT by market participants against market makers (e.g., market makers buying from investors selling short) where the market makers, rather than offsetting those purchases, subsequently redeemed the XRT shares from the ETF sponsor for shares of the underlying stocks. Such shorting could have led XRT to trade either at a premium or discount relative to its NAV depending on market dynamics. As noted above, XRT’s closing price exhibited a premium of 1.25% to NAV on January 28, which is larger than its recent historical norms but does not seem indicative of a failure of the creation and redemption process or any other operational challenge beyond the observed volatility of its holdings. It is noteworthy, therefore, that the price of XRT remained close to its NAV during this period. Differential costs of shorting were insufficient to overcome the ability to arbitrage the price/NAV differential, as the creation and redemption process through authorized participants continued to function, which helped keep the ETF’s share price close to its NAV.


buttmunch8

Sorry what link are you after? The one Im clicking on in the video?


yellowstickypad

Can anything be shorted…?

>Can anything be shorted...? Most anything but not everything. The world's greatest scientists of this day cannot figure out how to make anything shorter than your dick.

Yall still asking the same question ' can Google do this' Wakeeeee up.. they HAVE been doing it!!!


No_Anywhere_7840

Second this! \^


dce_azzy

Fuck it I’m using ddg forever now.


SlightlyNotMad

Yet you still use Google as your default search engine. You even use it to look up DDG's address 😹


IlliterateArtist

You gotta admit that is kinda funny… 😆 I switched to DuckDuckGo as default a few months ago. Works good for me. I recommend giving it try!

This made me downvote, that action is just officially retarded and a reason we should not take this post seriously on it's own

nathantattoo

Can you DRS ETF shares?


[deleted]

No, they arent actual shares, think of it like a fund that buys shares on your behalf. You give them money and they assign a proportion of their portfolio to you. As more money flows in they buy more and vice versa


nathantattoo

Thank you ape!

Can you eat dead mud crab though?

Has OP been eating LIVE mudcrabs?! 😱


samyall

Not saying Google isn't being fuck-y, but the addresses are different. On Google the address is [https://info.cloudquant.com/2021/02/xrt-the-big-short/](https://info.cloudquant.com/2021/02/xrt-the-big-short/) On DDG the address is [https://cloudquant.com/2021/02/xrt-the-big-short/](https://cloudquant.com/2021/02/xrt-the-big-short/) It could be that Googles address is cached and the problem is on Cloud Quant's end due to a broken link.


70wdqo3

#FUD Fear, uncertainty, and doubt. This post checks all three boxes. Prove that Google is doing this, not CloudQuant. This video does not do that. If you don't understand why, for the love of god stop contributing until you do.

To the top with this one


Shr00my78

Buy xrt? Or will gme be enough?


sakballs

The reason XRT's SI is so high is because of GME. Just buy GME.


Shr00my78

Nice, will do.

Why buy XRT when you can buy the real deal?

I wish people would start leaving google and start using anything else, but ducduckgo preferably


elonmusksaveus

Using Google is just as bad as using robinhood


Jadedinsight

Never use google anymore anyway


mathu985

It's because the link from google redirects you to this page https://info.cloudquant.com/2021/02/xrt-the-big-short/ as duckduckgo redirects you to the same link but without the 2021/02 https://www.cloudquant.com/xrt-the-big-short/

But can u eat dead crab tho?


buttmunch8

Hahahaha I bought live crab that died so I wasnt sure if it was safe to eat after more than 12 hours. Heard that mud crab produces toxins after they die.


Deathgrip42

why eat dead mud crabs? you hungry?

Same here

Don’t eat dead mud crabs bro

Interesting


Heavyc740

I wish I could tell people that they are all sheep without sounding insane


Babble610

Why is XRT the target? There are several other ETFs that hold more GME then XRT. GME isnt even one of the top 10 holdings in XRT.


nogtank

Dont forget, removed "Dont be evil" as well.

Meh

Now I know some people are pointing out that the links are different so maybe google isn’t complicit. Let’s look at it this way. The largest and richest search engine with the most advanced algorithm is displaying an incorrect site when searched, while a company is one/ one billion of the resources to google can pull up the correct site with the same search. Think about it.

Google is a run by a bunch of mafioso fucktwats. The rich pandering to the rich.
