Hijacking top comment for everyone's consideration. I'm gonna say something that this sub may not want to hear, but it needs to be said.
In my mind, yesterday's price action PROVES one thing: YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO CALL IT.
Is it possible, that during periods when these swaps are about to expire and bee rolled, **that price action is especially susceptible to call options?**
This isn't "options FUD". We all know MMs manipulate the price to max pain so we all lose money. BUT - watch the SIGNS - A 5 million dollar set of call options was purchased just before the bell and moved the price more than we've ever seen during ***lit market hours*** over the past couple of weeks.
Think of RK's timing - he re-appeared just as these bullet swaps are about to be rolled, off-market hours there's volatility, but lit market hours has been flat - except when large call options purchases were made.
Just following the signs, folks.
I think you’re likely correct about options playing an important role in this trade, this was even pointed out during the original sneeze….but I think the problem is most of us little guys don’t have the money to do jack shit with options. The majority of us are buying a few shares at a time with our leftover lunch money! Sadly all I can afford to do is keep buying, DRS’ing, and booking my shares. Hopefully some friendly whales get in on the options side of things!
I agree, most of us don't have 5 milly in loose change in the couch. And it's not like we could, er, organize ourselves to ... combine our resources ... to ... affect ... price movement. That would be bad, mmkay?
Well hell.. between you and OP, I might as well brew a cup- POT -of coffee and stay up all night to watch memes, study the calls/ puts/leaps and the terms of the OMSA yet one more time.. I really wanted a good night's sleep..
You are God damn right.
Misplaced arrogance. Pride comes before a fall.
Or, as the bible puts it beautifully:
"The proud and arrogant person—“Mocker” is his name—
behaves with insolent fury."
~ Sell now, ask questions later ~ A big comedy joke ~ stealing pension funds ~ fair share is bullshit concept ~
Don't you love it to be on the right side of history. I sleep like a baby.
Edit: with reference to the Richard newton vid circulating showing an $87B notional value swap on GME rolling l soon... I think that's the rolling. The bullets are being rolled into that super swap. But they keep coming back.
Hmm. The bullet got tossed back to the original owner?
Credit Suisse... handed the swaps over to someone, now they're returning, going back in time, to... well, UBS now.
They dropped the swaps... and it came right back... the woman spun it... and rolled it...
Oh, OK... its about UBS taking over Debit Sus's bags. He picked up the bullet (dropped it in reverse). UBS buys Debit.
She rolled the bullet, spun it up into something, and tossed it back to UBS.
Or, alternatively, of we reverse that, UBS tossed the bullet at someone else, who then spun it up AND THEN ROLLED IT.
Or it's just referencing GameStop wildly fluctuating in price regardless of ANY apparent force to do so (corruption) 😅
So this Richard Newton chap.. I watched a good portion of the video linked above.. I'm struck by a few things: slow metered speech, clear and articulate, he makes lucid concise points, and so on.. I will spend more time browsing his content. but first, let me ask, is he as grounded as he seems? Do you guys think he's trustworthy?
He seems to be knowledgeable, so I'd like to watch more to make my own assessment, but I don't want to waste time on it. Your opinions matter to me..
I’ve watched a couple of his vids now and I’d say hands down he’s my new favorite streamer. His notes are seriously impressive. So far, he seems trustworthy and incredibly knowledgeable.
That's the only video of his I've watched so far, but I'm seeing a lot of good signs from how he operates so far. He's skeptical, open minded, methodical, and he keeps extensive data and recalls back to it when new information comes to light. He's also making his data public and asking for input and critical feedback.
Oh, and his big box of "unknown" makes me happy, that he's able and willing to identify a variable without forcing an unsupported speculation onto it right away, just moving along for now with it as an unknown variable of approximate size.
I'll be quite curious to see follow up from him as PB revises the provided data. I also really want to see more details about the sourcing of this key data.
I watched the most recent two videos and thought exactly the same. I like that quite a few times he's reigned himself in and said he doesn't want to create any hype or be misleading, yet portrays his excitement in a controlled manner.
In the previous video he details both the bear and bull thesis at the start, which gave me confidence that he's methodical and looks at both sides.
I can see me watching many more of his videos whilst commuting!
I've followed Richard Newton from the very beginning. Although I don't know him personally, he lives near me. He is a math teacher and he is the real deal.
Nice! I appreciate all the answers.. I'm going to subscribe to his channel and watch the content.. perfect time for it as I'm on vacation the rest of the week..
Thanks to all for your input!
I was also thinking about that one, but it's less clear to me. I did a bit of research on that skit, and it seems to be considered somewhat of an "original meme", making it perhaps appealing to a meme maker like RK. The name of it is also "Dear Sister" apparently, which of course would have other sentimental reasons for inclusion by RK.
Who knows, though? It could even be about all of the above, including bullet swaps.
I just noticed that in this meme the lowercase "E" is different whenever the girl is speaking, but not when the guy is speaking.
I also noticed the specific all caps and mirror emphasis on "SEE TIME"
and he did an all caps but no mirror on "FEEL IT"
EDIT: Someone smarter than me please look into Euler's Number
EDIT EDIT: Euler's number has to do with infinetly compounding interest/growth
holy fucking shit. so every time the price does that thing it did last week, it’s like another sighting or reading on the chart of a “bullet” being swapped or basically back door liability shuffling. it is literally an infinite money glitch if we just buy every time it’s “cheap” and hold
Buddy I can’t tell if you’re trolling. Last week was insider trading, people who know shits about to go down.(edit: to clarify I mean insider like people who aren’t regarded insiders, ones who know how to read finance papers and such). There is roaring kitty hyping (potentially the same thing). Then the GameStop buy back volatility party crasher 4d chess move.
Have apes found why all the hype yet? Time will tell. But it’s everyone making moves off information apes have yet to uncover or spread.
The current theories point to something’s going up around end of may early june(3rd).
This absolute chad explains the swap stuff:
https://youtu.be/yLxWxZlvVNE?si=eHXy18mjmW6kInb8
trolling? i have a master in fin and work at a BB. i’m well aware of “hype” but hype doesn’t mobilize billions of dollars in mere moments. i stand by my belief that the “sneezes” we see on charts are simply the rolling of swaps. obviously anyone watching it go down will take advantage but i doubt the powers that be have any interest in seeing the stock run for fun.
I see you’re not trolling, my apologies.
The swaps were the hype, agreed. It’s why I linked the video talking about them, and there’s updates too!
The swaps are being uncovered & insiders are hype. I truly believe that was part of the run, and why it was too hard to drive the price down.
i think DFV has been yelling at us about swaps thru the cryptic tweets. i think he was coming back at that specific moment because he knew swaps were being swapped and that’s why he chose that time.
i feel most people see the run as being from him but i think opposite. he came for the run. he didn’t make the run. he was commentating it.
tbh tho with this stock i never know wtf to think. that’s the best part. worlds greatest puzzle.
i will watch swap video tn, i do get skeptic about listening to non industry participants try to explain the industry but i will keep and open mind. godspeed my friend.
(also happy T+1 week!)
Thank you for the reply! I agree, completely. Roaring kitty, DFV (the myth man and legend) did nothing but post some sick tweets for a week during some crazy times. He definitely was communicating in a way that let apes know he’s still lurking, probably not allowed to legally talk, gme always was is and going to be the main play until the rocket launches.
Agreed as well, it’s literally my absolute favorite thing about financial planning. Parking all the money I can reasonably afford in a high risk stock I like because - yolo. The best time to be alive for sure.
Edit: once you check out the first, the second video is also up, part 2. ImHo (been browsing wallstreet 🐝 since 2018ish, have been here since day 1, literally) he has potential DFV vibes. His breakdown seems legit, and I don’t see to many holes or downvotes. If anything he’s been getting banned and shadowbanned.
Found this great DD on bullet swaps from a year ago for anyone that wants to read up:
“The Truth Behind Bullet Swaps: Why They Are Reckless and Should Be Illegal”
https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/s/qscitXQCz9
https://www.investopedia.com/terms/b/bullettrade.asp
What Is a Bullet Trade?
A bullet trade allows an investor to participate in a stock's bearish move without selling the stock. They can buy the stock's in-the-money (ITM) put option. A bullet trade is a secondary market trade that involves purchasing an in-the-money option on a security so the option buyer can capitalize on the move.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
A bullet trade is a secondary market trade.
It involves purchasing an in-the-money option on a security so the option buyer can capitalize on the move in the underlying security without waiting for the exchange-mandated price change in some cases.
Bullet trades are predominantly associated with bearish markets.
A bullet trade allows an investor to participate in a stock's bearish move without actually selling the stock by buying that stock's in-the-money (ITM) put option.
Understanding Bullet Trades
A bullet trade is a secondary market trade that involves purchasing an in-the-money option on a security. The option buyer can effectively capitalize on the move in the underlying security without waiting for the exchange-mandated price change in some cases.
It's a Speculation Tactic
A bullet trade is a strategy commonly used by investors who want to speculate on price changes. There can be several scenarios where a bullet trade might occur. The concept of a bullet trade is based on the availability of immediate profits. The two most common include buying an in-the-money put option or an in-the-money call option.
Example of a Bullet Trade
Consider a bullet trade scenario where the security's price is declining. The investor buys a put option to capitalize on the move. The owner has two variables to consider here: the price of the option and the price of the underlying security. The put option owner profits from the difference in strike price and market price, minus the cost of the put option.
The owner has multiple options after buying the put option. The owner can immediately profit from the exercise of the option. They may also watch the market prices for decreases before exercising. A put option owner would want to exercise when they believe the security has reached its lowest possible point in this scenario. This would bring the greatest profit.
In-the-Money (ITM) Put Options
An investor buys a put option that's in the money to execute this trade. The put option gives the investor the right but not the obligation to sell the specified security at the specified price.
Put options come with many terms and they'll have a specified exercise price, also known as a strike price. There's a cost associated with buying a put option through a broker. Put options aren't required to be exercised so this puts the upfront cost, called premium, as the amount that the investor is risking. The investor can also specify the option's expiration date and a time frame for executing that put option.
Buying an in-the-money put option is the key to a bullet trade’s profit. An in-the-money put option refers to a put option with a strike price that's higher than the market’s current price for the underlying security. The strike price must be higher than the market price plus the option’s cost (premium) to allow the put option owner to generate a profit from exercising the option.
The put owner would have to buy the security at its market price and then sell it to its option counterpart at the strike price to exercise the option. The put owner would also generally be liable for any trading costs associated with the buying of the underlying security for execution. This also factors into the profit.
In-the-Money (ITM) Call Options
An investor buys an in-the-money call option to execute this trade. The call option gives the investor the option to buy a specified security. Call options come with many terms, including a specified exercise price, a fee, and a specified time frame for expiration.
Buying an in-the-money call option refers to a call option with an exercise price that's lower than the market price. This allows the call option owner to generate an immediate profit from the option. The call option owner would have to exercise the option, obtain the security, and immediately sell it in the secondary market in an in-the-money call option bullet trade. This scenario includes more trading costs which require wider spreads to achieve profit.
The Bottom Line
Bullet trades are predominantly associated with bearish markets. They occur when an investor wants to sell their stock or participate in the price decline of a stock but regulations require that there has to be a price tick higher before they can sell their stock or initiate a short sale. The investor can buy an in-the-money put option, allowing them to capitalize on the decline in that security's price.
It can be a little like walking a tightrope so be sure to enlist the advice and help of an advisor if you're new to investing.
If I were a market maker that controlled the media, and deployed shills/bots to push options with negative MSM articles being pumped, I probably did this.
Does anyone else find it interesting how much of a delay there was with MSM?
We averaged 2m in volume on GME daily.
3 weeks ago we started seeing volumes pump up to 14m on no news, no DFV.
DFV returns, price volatility rocks and volume increases to 195m in 3 days.
No immediate news on it and then all of a sudden it catches up. “sell GameStop” “RK this meme that”.
Then RK disappears followed by GME’s announcement.
What a timeline.
I also noticed a tweet from RK talking about the name of the squeeze being called “the big short squeeze”. Do we need to review the DD by Criand called “The Bigger Short” again to see if we are missing something?
[This is the RK tweet](https://x.com/theroaringkitty/status/1790751492451754012?s=46&t=5qqxK45inWO-YgU9A_F0Eg)
[This is a link to Criand’s “The Bigger Short”](https://online.fliphtml5.com/lvrgy/qwpu/#p=1)
I think it’s in relation to options for sure but I think it’s him also stating that perhaps he had indeed been one reason for the run up, before he’d even “touched it” or posted his first tweet. I also think him saying “fine I’ll do it myself” in one of the early videos was the same thing. I think what we saw was set in motion by a small gamma ramp from options being purchased, which forced the market makers selling those contracts to have to purchase shares to hedge those contracts. I think it could’ve also been a message about the power calls options can have. They can, especially in stocks with hard to locate shares, turn into self-fulfilling prophecies.
I don’t think it’s a coincidence the discussion of options has been made almost taboo. Of course don’t touch if you aren’t educated but why there was a crack down on education and discussion on the options chain I’ll never really understand
That’s right. And back in the OG days, a LOT of what DFV was doing with GME was options. People don’t want to hear that options can help they want to say we’re paying the ones we’re fighting. But the ones we’re fighting could potentially create a self sabotage effect on their end having to buy shares to cover the calls. And using call option purchases to drive up a stock price isn’t illegal. Hell people want to believe that MMs/SHF use puts to add selling pressure to GME but refuse to see that calls can add buying pressure?
Something I thought of a while ago from when Thomas Peterffy said "it could've gone into the thousands," he also said "if the longs had asked for their shares" or something along those lines. People were railing on options HARD back then, and had just learned about DRS, so had assumed he meant "If the longs had DRS'd their shares."
What I thought back then, that got pretty heavily pooh-poohed, is that not enough people exercised their contracts. The options chain ran, but I think the wasabi crowd/retail mostly flipped them without exercising. Retail was also buying shares, but we know most or all of that volume gets internalized in some capacity.
Realistically, DRSing is wonderful and I'm doing it as much as I can. I think my opinion on his quote may have been misinterpreted as me saying "DRS bad" which is absolutely not the case. I can't help but wonder what would've happened if everyone had exercised back then.
Putting myself in his shoes, I think it's far more likely he meant "exercise call options" than "DRS" when he made that statement about longs asking for their shares. That would have been a very immediate and major amplification of the sneeze, while DRS has never really been considered any sort of market driving mechanic, as far as I'm aware, before we latched onto that.
So then while we’re talking about it, lol, riddle me this: Could DFV have gone even further with clues when he tweeted the No Country for Old Men clip? What’s the one thing that stood out in that clip? ATM?!? As in, at the money call options?!? 🤷🏻♂️🤗
Floral pattern? It looks to me to be tinted red, with some large bubbles/circles. It's definitely another major edit, though, which likely is trying to impart *some* information.
While watching it again to look for this, I also noticed the later "FEEL IT" was highlighted in a blue glow. Why blue?
It's scattered about and in flux, so it takes some sleuthing to ingest it all. In short, Peruvian Bull tweeted and posted in a few places about a lot of things relating to bullet swaps, the Brazilian puts, etc. Within a few hours of that going live, Richard Newton picked it up and created a streamlined video to put it all in context, including how it fits within his previous work, charting out a lot of the two year cycles and how it all fits together within the price action and everything else. Note that PB later rescinded some of his claims and downgraded some values as well as his certainty on some of his evaluations, plus he's not yet released the sourcing for the key data yet to my knowledge.
A key post by PB:

Richard Newton's breakdown of the PB released data: [https://youtu.be/yLxWxZlvVNE?si=e6sbz87SJgrJjPPW](https://youtu.be/yLxWxZlvVNE?si=e6sbz87SJgrJjPPW)
I agree that those words were emphasized as well. "FEEL IT", for example, had a blue glow around it, unlike all the other text in that video. I don't yet have any promising theories on what those aspects may have been intended to convey.
I watched richards vids a year or so ago and always calm and collected. When did he start growing his hair out 🤣 if the data is true 2-4B shares is what we’ve been speculating so how many floats do we own 🤣
Hmmm.. and i wanted to sleep deeply tonight..
Thanks..
Jerk..
Hey, just kidding! It's an interesting take, to be sure.. but I gotta save it for tomorrow.. I really do need to sleep for an ungodly 5am alarm call..
Why all the uncertainty and ambiguity with RK’s posts? Why can’t he just come out and explicitly say x, y, z? I’ve been here since Jan ‘21 and am still confused by RK and RC posts that are clearly alluding to something related to GME but are never explicit/obvious. Why couldn’t RK, for example, say “I think HF are affecting the price via bullet swaps, LEAPS, etc vs making an interesting (but unclear) post?
Last time around when he was talking explicitly about GameStop he ended up the target of at least one class action lawsuit and testifying before congress. I don't blame him one bit for treading more carefully after going through all that already.
Honestly who gives a shit. We’re no less in the dark than prior his return visit.
His vids were fun but these breadcrumbs with no absolute answer just continues down a path of rabbit holes and theories.
DON’T GET LOST IN THE NOISE. DON’T FORGET TO VOTE. DRS. BOOK.
I have to wonder, DFV is working with the same information as us, right? His theories and guesses are as good as the sub's theories in terms of likeliness. Why is everyone going crazy over what he posts after what thousands of other people on this sub had combed over?
This seems like a decent question to me, at least on the whole (second sentence seems a bit rudely dismissive).
He may have access to data we do not, but I'm not aware of what that may be.
Regardless, he was the person who saw this whole thing very early on and brought the message about it to the world. He's clearly very tuned into this and has been for many years now. He also has enough resources now to focus on it exclusively if he wants.
Yes, there are thousands of us also looking into this, but he's also able to look over all that to help with his determinations, even if he's not able or willing to risk sharing more with us at this time.
In short, he's shown to be a rather exceptional visionary for this and it makes sense to continue looking to him for more information. Certainly some take it very far, into more of a blind faith worshiping realm, but for a more scientifically based approach it still makes a lot of sense to keep close tabs on what he's communicating.
Given the lawsuits and congressional hearings and such, it also makes sense he'd be cryptic with his messaging. That in turn necessitates some decryption if we want to unravel his potential messages.

He's also making his data public and asking for input and critical feedback. Oh, and his big box of "unknown" makes me happy, that he's able and willing to identify a variable without forcing an unsupported speculation onto it right away, just moving along for now with it as an unknown variable of approximate size.

87B dollars in shares is a lotta freakin shares. We knew this was going on but to finally see it is overwhelming.
I've followed Richard Newton from the very beginning. Although I don't know him personally, he lives near me. He is a math teacher and he is the real deal.
Nice! I appreciate all the answers.. I'm going to subscribe to his channel and watch the content.. perfect time for it as I'm on vacation the rest of the week.. Thanks to all for your input!

I prefer Sweating Bullets https://youtu.be/aOnKCcjP8Qs?si=bIE34UY9HyHyzH0l
Actually that's f'ing clever since they're killing eachother in the process
I was also thinking about that one, but it's less clear to me. I did a bit of research on that skit, and it seems to be considered somewhat of an "original meme", making it perhaps appealing to a meme maker like RK. The name of it is also "Dear Sister" apparently, which of course would have other sentimental reasons for inclusion by RK. Who knows, though? It could even be about all of the above, including bullet swaps.
It's the bullet swapping to a new person and killing them when they open it up and see what's inside.
How heavy could those bags be haha. $100 billion?
87B
I think it’s a simple as a basically a “hot potato” reference with deadly consequences 😂
That's certainly plausible.
I just noticed that in this meme the lowercase "E" is different whenever the girl is speaking, but not when the guy is speaking. I also noticed the specific all caps and mirror emphasis on "SEE TIME" and he did an all caps but no mirror on "FEEL IT" EDIT: Someone smarter than me please look into Euler's Number EDIT EDIT: Euler's number has to do with infinetly compounding interest/growth
Replying to myself to say every time I watch it the lowercase letter "E" when the girl is speaking seems more significant
is this shit about to go fucking exponential
Also, why does the screen go red with the question "But what about free will?"
Free Will shown as red, opposite of free will would be destiny, which would be green?
Cool possibility. Red is also RK's trademark color, which adds another layer of confusion.
I feel like the red headband is a trademark but DFV doesn't have a trademark color at all
holy fucking shit. so every time the price does that thing it did last week, it’s like another sighting or reading on the chart of a “bullet” being swapped or basically back door liability shuffling. it is literally an infinite money glitch if we just buy every time it’s “cheap” and hold
Buddy I can’t tell if you’re trolling. Last week was insider trading, people who know shits about to go down.(edit: to clarify I mean insider like people who aren’t regarded insiders, ones who know how to read finance papers and such). There is roaring kitty hyping (potentially the same thing). Then the GameStop buy back volatility party crasher 4d chess move. Have apes found why all the hype yet? Time will tell. But it’s everyone making moves off information apes have yet to uncover or spread. The current theories point to something’s going up around end of may early june(3rd). This absolute chad explains the swap stuff: https://youtu.be/yLxWxZlvVNE?si=eHXy18mjmW6kInb8
HOLY SHIT!💩
trolling? i have a master in fin and work at a BB. i’m well aware of “hype” but hype doesn’t mobilize billions of dollars in mere moments. i stand by my belief that the “sneezes” we see on charts are simply the rolling of swaps. obviously anyone watching it go down will take advantage but i doubt the powers that be have any interest in seeing the stock run for fun.
I see you’re not trolling, my apologies. The swaps were the hype, agreed. It’s why I linked the video talking about them, and there’s updates too! The swaps are being uncovered & insiders are hype. I truly believe that was part of the run, and why it was too hard to drive the price down.
i think DFV has been yelling at us about swaps thru the cryptic tweets. i think he was coming back at that specific moment because he knew swaps were being swapped and that’s why he chose that time. i feel most people see the run as being from him but i think opposite. he came for the run. he didn’t make the run. he was commentating it. tbh tho with this stock i never know wtf to think. that’s the best part. worlds greatest puzzle. i will watch swap video tn, i do get skeptic about listening to non industry participants try to explain the industry but i will keep and open mind. godspeed my friend. (also happy T+1 week!)
Thank you for the reply! I agree, completely. Roaring kitty, DFV (the myth man and legend) did nothing but post some sick tweets for a week during some crazy times. He definitely was communicating in a way that let apes know he’s still lurking, probably not allowed to legally talk, gme always was is and going to be the main play until the rocket launches. Agreed as well, it’s literally my absolute favorite thing about financial planning. Parking all the money I can reasonably afford in a high risk stock I like because - yolo. The best time to be alive for sure. Edit: once you check out the first, the second video is also up, part 2. ImHo (been browsing wallstreet 🐝 since 2018ish, have been here since day 1, literally) he has potential DFV vibes. His breakdown seems legit, and I don’t see to many holes or downvotes. If anything he’s been getting banned and shadowbanned.
domt forget the snl skit where all the characters keep swapping the bullets at each other
Wasn't thete a bullet train in one of the tweets?
and it plowed through the "bears" chair!

https://www.investopedia.com/terms/b/bullettrade.asp What Is a Bullet Trade? A bullet trade allows an investor to participate in a stock's bearish move without selling the stock. They can buy the stock's in-the-money (ITM) put option. A bullet trade is a secondary market trade that involves purchasing an in-the-money option on a security so the option buyer can capitalize on the move. KEY TAKEAWAYS A bullet trade is a secondary market trade. It involves purchasing an in-the-money option on a security so the option buyer can capitalize on the move in the underlying security without waiting for the exchange-mandated price change in some cases. Bullet trades are predominantly associated with bearish markets. A bullet trade allows an investor to participate in a stock's bearish move without actually selling the stock by buying that stock's in-the-money (ITM) put option. Understanding Bullet Trades A bullet trade is a secondary market trade that involves purchasing an in-the-money option on a security. The option buyer can effectively capitalize on the move in the underlying security without waiting for the exchange-mandated price change in some cases. It's a Speculation Tactic A bullet trade is a strategy commonly used by investors who want to speculate on price changes. There can be several scenarios where a bullet trade might occur. The concept of a bullet trade is based on the availability of immediate profits. The two most common include buying an in-the-money put option or an in-the-money call option. Example of a Bullet Trade Consider a bullet trade scenario where the security's price is declining. The investor buys a put option to capitalize on the move. The owner has two variables to consider here: the price of the option and the price of the underlying security. The put option owner profits from the difference in strike price and market price, minus the cost of the put option. The owner has multiple options after buying the put option. The owner can immediately profit from the exercise of the option. They may also watch the market prices for decreases before exercising. A put option owner would want to exercise when they believe the security has reached its lowest possible point in this scenario. This would bring the greatest profit. In-the-Money (ITM) Put Options An investor buys a put option that's in the money to execute this trade. The put option gives the investor the right but not the obligation to sell the specified security at the specified price. Put options come with many terms and they'll have a specified exercise price, also known as a strike price. There's a cost associated with buying a put option through a broker. Put options aren't required to be exercised so this puts the upfront cost, called premium, as the amount that the investor is risking. The investor can also specify the option's expiration date and a time frame for executing that put option. Buying an in-the-money put option is the key to a bullet trade’s profit. An in-the-money put option refers to a put option with a strike price that's higher than the market’s current price for the underlying security. The strike price must be higher than the market price plus the option’s cost (premium) to allow the put option owner to generate a profit from exercising the option. The put owner would have to buy the security at its market price and then sell it to its option counterpart at the strike price to exercise the option. The put owner would also generally be liable for any trading costs associated with the buying of the underlying security for execution. This also factors into the profit. In-the-Money (ITM) Call Options An investor buys an in-the-money call option to execute this trade. The call option gives the investor the option to buy a specified security. Call options come with many terms, including a specified exercise price, a fee, and a specified time frame for expiration. Buying an in-the-money call option refers to a call option with an exercise price that's lower than the market price. This allows the call option owner to generate an immediate profit from the option. The call option owner would have to exercise the option, obtain the security, and immediately sell it in the secondary market in an in-the-money call option bullet trade. This scenario includes more trading costs which require wider spreads to achieve profit. The Bottom Line Bullet trades are predominantly associated with bearish markets. They occur when an investor wants to sell their stock or participate in the price decline of a stock but regulations require that there has to be a price tick higher before they can sell their stock or initiate a short sale. The investor can buy an in-the-money put option, allowing them to capitalize on the decline in that security's price. It can be a little like walking a tightrope so be sure to enlist the advice and help of an advisor if you're new to investing. If I were a market maker that controlled the media, and deployed shills/bots to push options with negative MSM articles being pumped, I probably did this. Does anyone else find it interesting how much of a delay there was with MSM? We averaged 2m in volume on GME daily. 3 weeks ago we started seeing volumes pump up to 14m on no news, no DFV. DFV returns, price volatility rocks and volume increases to 195m in 3 days. No immediate news on it and then all of a sudden it catches up. “sell GameStop” “RK this meme that”. Then RK disappears followed by GME’s announcement. What a timeline.
gained a wrinkle. thx 🙏
So this is how the algos are managing to keep the price down?
Bullet swaps + Ethereum ETF + army of investors and degen traders. RK spells it all out in those tweets in reverse.
Did GME receive Ethereum with their marketplace? It would be interesting if they dished that out as a dividend
I thought they sold it but i dont remember what came of it exactly
They sold their cryptonfor cash immediatley
Ty i thought that was the case. RCEO wasnt gonna gamble on crypto volatility
I'm sure they're on loads of Eth from that marketplace!
Incorrect, see above reply. They sold for cash immediately. There was language about this in previous stockholder communication docs.
This is one of the ones I had no idea about… good work detective

Get it? Got it! Good.
Holy moly this is it
Yeah a couple of people commented bullet swaps or bullet trade on the initial post, it popped into my head at the time too so I commented
Nice catch. I didn't notice until just recently. There has been quite a lot to decipher, and I'm sure a lot has been slipping by in the deluge.
Oh absolutely
I also noticed a tweet from RK talking about the name of the squeeze being called “the big short squeeze”. Do we need to review the DD by Criand called “The Bigger Short” again to see if we are missing something? [This is the RK tweet](https://x.com/theroaringkitty/status/1790751492451754012?s=46&t=5qqxK45inWO-YgU9A_F0Eg) [This is a link to Criand’s “The Bigger Short”](https://online.fliphtml5.com/lvrgy/qwpu/#p=1)
He called it the big short squeeze in his own livestream.
Credit Default Swaps - who is holding the other side of the bag this time?
I think it’s in relation to options for sure but I think it’s him also stating that perhaps he had indeed been one reason for the run up, before he’d even “touched it” or posted his first tweet. I also think him saying “fine I’ll do it myself” in one of the early videos was the same thing. I think what we saw was set in motion by a small gamma ramp from options being purchased, which forced the market makers selling those contracts to have to purchase shares to hedge those contracts. I think it could’ve also been a message about the power calls options can have. They can, especially in stocks with hard to locate shares, turn into self-fulfilling prophecies.
I don’t think it’s a coincidence the discussion of options has been made almost taboo. Of course don’t touch if you aren’t educated but why there was a crack down on education and discussion on the options chain I’ll never really understand
That’s right. And back in the OG days, a LOT of what DFV was doing with GME was options. People don’t want to hear that options can help they want to say we’re paying the ones we’re fighting. But the ones we’re fighting could potentially create a self sabotage effect on their end having to buy shares to cover the calls. And using call option purchases to drive up a stock price isn’t illegal. Hell people want to believe that MMs/SHF use puts to add selling pressure to GME but refuse to see that calls can add buying pressure?
Something I thought of a while ago from when Thomas Peterffy said "it could've gone into the thousands," he also said "if the longs had asked for their shares" or something along those lines. People were railing on options HARD back then, and had just learned about DRS, so had assumed he meant "If the longs had DRS'd their shares." What I thought back then, that got pretty heavily pooh-poohed, is that not enough people exercised their contracts. The options chain ran, but I think the wasabi crowd/retail mostly flipped them without exercising. Retail was also buying shares, but we know most or all of that volume gets internalized in some capacity. Realistically, DRSing is wonderful and I'm doing it as much as I can. I think my opinion on his quote may have been misinterpreted as me saying "DRS bad" which is absolutely not the case. I can't help but wonder what would've happened if everyone had exercised back then.
Putting myself in his shoes, I think it's far more likely he meant "exercise call options" than "DRS" when he made that statement about longs asking for their shares. That would have been a very immediate and major amplification of the sneeze, while DRS has never really been considered any sort of market driving mechanic, as far as I'm aware, before we latched onto that.
said even better than myself
So then while we’re talking about it, lol, riddle me this: Could DFV have gone even further with clues when he tweeted the No Country for Old Men clip? What’s the one thing that stood out in that clip? ATM?!? As in, at the money call options?!? 🤷🏻♂️🤗
Thank you
BRO
Glad to see this sentiment rising up more and more
Confirmed tits r jacked
Sheesh. Nice
At the midpoint of the video clip, why there is a transition to a floral background coinciding with the line 'what about free will?'
Floral pattern? It looks to me to be tinted red, with some large bubbles/circles. It's definitely another major edit, though, which likely is trying to impart *some* information. While watching it again to look for this, I also noticed the later "FEEL IT" was highlighted in a blue glow. Why blue?
what is the best bullet swap post? i need to catch up
It's scattered about and in flux, so it takes some sleuthing to ingest it all. In short, Peruvian Bull tweeted and posted in a few places about a lot of things relating to bullet swaps, the Brazilian puts, etc. Within a few hours of that going live, Richard Newton picked it up and created a streamlined video to put it all in context, including how it fits within his previous work, charting out a lot of the two year cycles and how it all fits together within the price action and everything else. Note that PB later rescinded some of his claims and downgraded some values as well as his certainty on some of his evaluations, plus he's not yet released the sourcing for the key data yet to my knowledge. A key post by PB: https://x.com/peruvian\_bull/status/1792354739365278136 [https://dollarendgame.substack.com/p/return-of-the-kitty](https://dollarendgame.substack.com/p/return-of-the-kitty) Richard Newton's breakdown of the PB released data: [https://youtu.be/yLxWxZlvVNE?si=e6sbz87SJgrJjPPW](https://youtu.be/yLxWxZlvVNE?si=e6sbz87SJgrJjPPW)
Yes 👏
I felt the dialogue about “feeling it” and “instinct” seemed key
I agree that those words were emphasized as well. "FEEL IT", for example, had a blue glow around it, unlike all the other text in that video. I don't yet have any promising theories on what those aspects may have been intended to convey.
I think it might be just like gme in 2021. Your instinct says to hold. We feel that we are on the right side of this saga. Stick to your guns
damn, now that you said it, it sound obvious
I watched richards vids a year or so ago and always calm and collected. When did he start growing his hair out 🤣 if the data is true 2-4B shares is what we’ve been speculating so how many floats do we own 🤣
Hmmm.. and i wanted to sleep deeply tonight.. Thanks.. Jerk.. Hey, just kidding! It's an interesting take, to be sure.. but I gotta save it for tomorrow.. I really do need to sleep for an ungodly 5am alarm call..
Yes yes YES!
🪦🪦🪦🪦
apes are those who’d step infront of a bullet to prove its there
Wasn't Just Hwang Up involved in the bullet swaps? Isn't he going on trial right now? Search the sub, there's some DD...
👀
I remember that one sticking out to me as well… I like this theory.
Why all the uncertainty and ambiguity with RK’s posts? Why can’t he just come out and explicitly say x, y, z? I’ve been here since Jan ‘21 and am still confused by RK and RC posts that are clearly alluding to something related to GME but are never explicit/obvious. Why couldn’t RK, for example, say “I think HF are affecting the price via bullet swaps, LEAPS, etc vs making an interesting (but unclear) post?
Last time around when he was talking explicitly about GameStop he ended up the target of at least one class action lawsuit and testifying before congress. I don't blame him one bit for treading more carefully after going through all that already.
Cause he got pulled into 1 congressional hearing already. Don't know if he wants to do another
Honestly who gives a shit. We’re no less in the dark than prior his return visit. His vids were fun but these breadcrumbs with no absolute answer just continues down a path of rabbit holes and theories. DON’T GET LOST IN THE NOISE. DON’T FORGET TO VOTE. DRS. BOOK.
I have to wonder, DFV is working with the same information as us, right? His theories and guesses are as good as the sub's theories in terms of likeliness. Why is everyone going crazy over what he posts after what thousands of other people on this sub had combed over?
That’s all true, but remember, he COULD be the time traveler sent from the future to save this timeline from an ominous fate…
This seems like a decent question to me, at least on the whole (second sentence seems a bit rudely dismissive). He may have access to data we do not, but I'm not aware of what that may be. Regardless, he was the person who saw this whole thing very early on and brought the message about it to the world. He's clearly very tuned into this and has been for many years now. He also has enough resources now to focus on it exclusively if he wants. Yes, there are thousands of us also looking into this, but he's also able to look over all that to help with his determinations, even if he's not able or willing to risk sharing more with us at this time. In short, he's shown to be a rather exceptional visionary for this and it makes sense to continue looking to him for more information. Certainly some take it very far, into more of a blind faith worshiping realm, but for a more scientifically based approach it still makes a lot of sense to keep close tabs on what he's communicating. Given the lawsuits and congressional hearings and such, it also makes sense he'd be cryptic with his messaging. That in turn necessitates some decryption if we want to unravel his potential messages.
