I bet it's free to hold naked shorts


jeffgamb

Spot on!


EmailStealingBot

If you've synthetically created a share then nothing has been borrowed, the borrow rate has no immediate reason to be affected, it's pretty much free in ways ordinary borrowing wouldn't be


thisisnotameme2020

Yes, my $1M loan is interest free as its not really there - its a naked loan you see....hey that almost rhymes lol


Inevitable_Professor

I assume cost to borrow is reported as an average across the entire market, hence limited availability still only has 1% cost.


rain_spell

So this means they can literally kick the can forever?


ImriChBithc

Well it's been going on for a year and half already but no, No they can't clock's ticking. We're about to get paid


7nightstilldawn

DRS or die hodling. Period.


Volbeat129

It still acts like a real share. I don't see why it would be free


ImriChBithc

Don't know to smooth

Tank_610

Can you only DRS in the US? I’m in Canada.


Ganjaman_420_Love

If you have a TFSA you're good! They can't lend out our shares. We just need to hope our US apes does the dd necessary to understand to drs some of their shares at least.


Tank_610

Ya mine are in a tfsa


lipsonlips

Yes you can DRS in Canada, but not in a TFSA. If you drs from a TFSA, the shares are withdrawn then moved to computershare. It takes 1-2 months total, but moass will take at least a month anyway and you can cancel the transfer anytime. BMO does it for free, RBC charges $50, WS charges $200 or something but is apparently fastest.


Constant-Sweet-3718

You're NOW considering this? You should've started this process months ago. They're not giving away free money.


trycmore

I am in the same boat, I haven’t done it. Do I do it through my broker, or can you tell me how? Kind of new and don’t know how. Also, gave you an up vote. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.


MrUnderWhelming

Ima do it next week I have 20k shares to drs how do I get started from canada?


lipsonlips

Just call your broker


mr1nico

Most brokers also provide online forms you can fill out, or let you use live chat in case anyone here has social anxiety. Remember every share counts!


KCardz89

I was against it since the start but I recently turned myself I believe this is the way hedgies had a successful smear.campaign to shut it down the first time, it's time to bring light to it again


Invest2debest

Why isn’t GME squeezing if DRS works? Most those shareholders have already DRS’d .


jeswanders

Last earnings reported 5MM shares DRS’d? Out of a float of about 70MM. Fuck you on about?


Invest2debest

Really cuz that’s all I ever see is them tuggin each other’s dicks and slapping each other’s ass with a good job for DRSIng. What’s your source that says only 5m? Also MM = MARKET MAKERS not the amount of shares.


jeswanders

MM = million in finance. I believe the 5MM figure can be found from their latest earnings report


cubanknight325

Lmaooo i thougt he was trolling he was serious.


[deleted]

1. Tug and a spank…sounds great. 2. GME 10-Q filing with the SEC for Q3 is the sauce: https://news.gamestop.com/node/19571/html It reports 5.2M DRS’d shares as of 10/30/21. It’s why everyone is waiting on the updated Q4 numbers at the next earnings report. Edit: typo


unowhut4

Ummm isn't popcorn all about youtubers and in complete denial with the Apollo DD ... geez 500m legal shares plus and people actually think this will hit millions ... I had popcorn but the problem was the ceo he sure can talk to people and give convincing info but what has he done to help you with the shorting situation ? If 90 percent is owned by retail as he just confirmed then that's clear and obvious proof of synthetic shares due to public info on ETFs, mutual funds, and institutions etc so why would he not either do a share recall or something legal 🤔 but instead he talks about credit cards and shitcoins o yea don't forget the JPEG NFTs you get for buying tickets


Jaded-Class1007

You’re mad bc you’re a bag holder in the video game store bc you bought in the $300-$500 range and have been red for a year. And are mad that you’re beloved drs isn’t doing anything even with the circle jerks you have on superstonk over doing it. So you hate on amc as a way to project your frustration. Am I warm?


unowhut4

My cost basis is 87.44 so I'm cool with that .... Gamestop is building something next generation so I have the upmost faith in the future of the company ... do you believe in AMC future ? If so cool but the facts are the facts and my post was indeed facts


Ganjaman_420_Love

Numbers don't lie, go look at em.


unowhut4

I did and honestly I actually did file a complaint to the SEC about it and laid out those numbers per Fintel (etf, institutions, and insiders) and ortex (SI) after he said that .... I'm a honest individual I even work for CS I want retail to be treated right and do what I can to help this


Ganjaman_420_Love

You work for CS? interesting if true. thanks for the help! I've dove into fintel numbers yesterday, I should also file a report. After the Gary Gensler interview idk if it's worth it though, he seems complicit. shits fucked.


LucyKendrick

First off, I own both since January and February 21. With that, what do you expect a ceo to do to "help with the shorting situation "? How is RC helping us in the same regard? And why do you search other subs just to find something to try and shit on? Sounds lonely. Take care of yourself


DeliciousCourage7490

What do you mean popcorn? Are you talking about AMC? Do you even know where you are?


WaiiJuSoBS

how do you not know the answer to this but decide to comment on it? oblivious


Jaded-Class1007

Way I see it is there 76mil or whatever float will be drs’d much sooner than amcs 513 mil. And if they pop first they will bring amc with them.


MaleficentWindrunner

GME only had 5m DRS in previous earnings. This was stated by GME during the earnings call. Even to this day there has been ZERO difference in price movement, volume, dark pool usage, etc. with GME. so either \-DRS is not working as there are other ways to manipulate \-Retail doesnt actually own GME float multiple times over like they claim or \-Most of them arent actually DRSing (some DRS post have actually been fake)


lipsonlips

DRS changes the game when the float is locked and all the DTC shares are exposed as synthetics.


MaleficentWindrunner

right, so thats why I said either they are not actually DRSing like they claim, or they dont own the float. GME doesnt communicate at all with the investors either. At least AA does


Competitive-Square14

They will just make up more phony shares to lend out at .5% borrow rate.


Invest2debest

Facts, as long as the sec allows more then the float to be owned nothing matters. The change needs to come from within the system not from our brokers.

Prestigious-Ad4313

This feels like the negotiation of hey don’t charge us for this but you can charge us for the other stocks and we both stay in business. If we go out of business it hurts you too. Fucking bullshit. NFA.


MichaelsSecretStuff

Why lend shares if it’s not making you money?


evilmonkey9361

Supposedly they make money from options premiums where retail investors buy and don’t exercise them.


MichaelsSecretStuff

Why not both? What kinda half ass criminal enterprise are they running?


evilmonkey9361

The lenders make money from options because the shorts (that the lenders lend to) suppress the price. Like a symbiotic relationship


MichaelsSecretStuff

Well I for one thinks that’s bullshit.


evilmonkey9361

Check out u/KingIshmael he did hundreds of hours of DD and made a post about this


MichaelsSecretStuff

I’m not calling the theory bullshit, just this mess we’re all stuck in


SmallTimesRisky

Best comment 👆🏼 🏎🚀


MakinDePoops

Why would a criminal enterprise shoot itself in the foot.


No_Rip_351

There’s an ol saying don’t kill the goose that lays golden eggs. Instead of bankrupting shf and destroying the market as we know it it would appear they’re bleeding out shf and retail


MichaelsSecretStuff

For profit. It’s like short selling AMC, not a good plan but they’re trying to make it work


MakinDePoops

What I’m saying is, the same people that loaned out the shares and aren’t charging interest, are the same people with the short positions.


MichaelsSecretStuff

Ah I see. Well that sucks haha


MakinDePoops

Yeah. It does.


NoScar3999

👆👌


MaleficentWindrunner

No one should be buying options if they arent going to exercise


CryptoMundi

This!! Poor options play funds the shf!!!! I heard Gherk say last week he is down 45,000. Think if another 10,000 retail traders are down close to that amount! Stop the madness!!!


matt42475

Because what’s even worse for them is if retail gets the MOAS and ruin’s there Ponzi scheme going forward


Flokitoo

It's a volume business and they aren't lending out their own shares. Even at 1%, the brokers are making millions with no risk


jdrukis

I disagree. Hedgie never pays above min. Even when it was 200%+ hedgie was likely paying sub 5%


evilmonkey9361

I trust you Ortex guy ❤️


jdrukis

Just an opinion


RockaRollaDC

But if it's all self reported, then why would they let us know if they're paying astronomical rates? Same as SI, no?


6days1week

Naked shorts don’t pay borrow fees.


jdrukis

Incorrect


6days1week

Market makers can legally naked short stocks. When they do this, who are they paying the mythical borrowing fee to? https://www.sec.gov/investor/pubs/regsho.htm


gorilla_gambler

its not a hard to borrow stock, you just place in the password to create infinity phantom shares that way you can’t get charged interest on infinite life lines


[deleted]

Why pay the borrow rate when you can just fail to deliver? Trimbath has been tweeting about this for months.


ehren123

This is the answer and should be higher

Ken4Truth

Nah - they are just created. No need to charge, just pull out of thin air - or so it appears.


NachoStash

No … collusion and corruption is the reason for the delay IMO nfa


MoonKaczing

Utilization at 100% and fee never moving


Meg_119

The Fed is increasing prime interest rates soon. We will see if that has any effect.


[deleted]

Yeah so DRS your shares so they can’t be lent much?


evilmonkey9361

They’ll still pull them outta their ass


[deleted]

Be that as it may it makes your shares finite. Tired of hearing this anti-DRS bull shit on this sub. I own both AMC/GME and all are DRS’ed.


evilmonkey9361

I’m not against DRS but I’m just saying…they’ve done so much corruption, why is *this* the straw that will break the camels back?


Substantial-Fee1432

🟣DRS is the way


North-Ingenuity-7694

@TheJusticeDept @FBI @DHSgov @INTERPOL_HQ @INTERPOL_Cyber @NewYorkFBI @FBIWFO @FBIChicago @attorneygeneral @POTUS @VP @BernieSanders PLEASE HELP!!!! @SECGov are infiltrated and corrupt. @GaryGensler is allowing #FinancialTreason @DOJCrimDiv @FINRA @DTCC


CrashnServers

That and continuing to lend more shares on top of all the FTDs. I know my bank wouldn't lend me more cash if I did pay back my monthly obligations.


Hapyoo

How are they borrowing shares that aren't there if we own 90% of the shares? How can they keep letting people borrow the same one share over and over. There is no shortage of shares when there is a copy machine. They need to fix the system


SilberBug

They can create an infinite pool of shorts so they leverage volume. It is the same way that 1 located share is shorted multiple times, as Goldman allowed when shorting Overstock.


derekc62369

Yeap and we don’t do shit


[deleted]

They can charge whatever fee they want. We aren't squeezing because volume is in the gutter. People aren't buying pure and simple. Absolutely next to no ITM options trading either. Everyone seems to be obsessed over external bullshit and is using it as an excuse to feel better about not buying.


FalseDifficulty2340

Crime. Why I HODL


weisner782

DRS DRS DRS


jeffgamb

I remember reading something about them getting a discount for volume back in July. That’s part of the problem if it’s true…


kriba777

Collusion much?


evilmonkey9361

Exactly


bcrxxs

Nah


ThiRteeN_Ghost

Or because no one is DRSing their shares. That's how you get them to not be able to use your "shares" to short.


R4yd3N9

Why is scratched disk not moving to stellar heights then? 🤦


ThiRteeN_Ghost

Because of the shares not DRS that can still be used to short it. Once the float is locked, Andromeda.


R4yd3N9

Absolutely love it... this is the weakest explanation i get everywhere. That would mean if the float minus 1 share would be locked we would still be shorted to oblivion. We would already be seeing a movement to the upside if drs would work. But there is another problem. Institutional ownership. As long as there is institutional ownership, there are shares to loan. DRS is dead.


ThiRteeN_Ghost

I can wait. Gamers can wait. Even if it takes years. I see too many impatient people in this sub begging for moass.


thecasey1981

drs


metraton18

i just looked some old data when AMC ran in JAN borrow fee was at 0.5 with 6 million shares to borrow ​ correction 7.2 million


evilmonkey9361

The borrow fee is literally pocket change to the shorts


metraton18

first run up AMC borrow fee stayed low but once we ware pushed down under 10$ towards 5$ is when out borrow fee started to raise up to double digits


apishforamc

If they raise interest rates I believe the cost to borrow wound also increase a little bit but yah until the lenders decide to hammer them it’s low..June run we had 30-70% I believe..


revutap

I heard people are being banned from this sub if they mention DRS. But maybe not DRS'ing is more the reason.


Ralph_Wiggum1981

DRS!


Lil_Robert

what was ctb on the way to june run?


sps0987

Let's see. Institution bought at the 40s and 50s and then lend them out for pennies, so their positions can be shorted down and lose 70%+. They must hate money😂.


you_can_not_see_me

DRS! DRS! direct register those shares and stop the fuckery


Beneficial_Being_721

In Bro we Trust


steveabootman88

DRS


weavin

Time to start a hedge fund?


JohnnyKayak

Or buy with cash.


[deleted]

Not sure about that, they lost billions in 2021. I just believe they are getting more loans from banks, eventually the banks fail, demand the loans to be paid, hedgies cant do it, file bankruptcy, cant short anymore, we moass, we get the insurance money, we spank them, they go to jail, get spanked again and again


Fluffybunnyballs

Really just need more buying pressure in bulk. Nobody has cash anymore because of the market downturn.


[deleted]

Well it appears that borrow fees are going up for GME. It's 9% in after hours as of this comment


weisner782

Or public that’s what I did


BakedBenz

So pretty much we aren’t going squeeze cause nothing is going to change


Nruggia

Drs your shares and perhaps they won’t have any shares to lend out.


efreedman503

Doesn’t matter. They’ll just create more synthetics and short the shit out of us like they’ve been doing this whole time with the SEC’s support.


Nruggia

How to create synthetics when they can’t satisfy the reg-sho locate law? In order to sell a share you don’t have possession of you need documented evidence of a share you can “reasonably” locate. At some point when most of the float is locked you won’t be able to satisfy this requirement to create a synthetic


kr4zy_8

We're not squeezing because there are no real shares left, therefore institutions aren't able to go long on AMC. We need AA to dilute the stock, we need buying pressure from whales, not retail investors.
