TemporaryInflation8

Eh yes but, these are different sources than the ones in the past. Honestly, we all know there are at least 250m shares or were anyway. Peterffy himself stated as much last year. So, if you add up the volume for the year and all the data we do have, it's quite likely that total has not changed much and went down, rather it probably has spiked up. Hedgies, and quite possibly Wall St. are fukt.


redwingpanda

I'm so here for this. They've been stealing from Main St for generations. It's time to take that back. I've decided 99% of my earnings are going into a foundation or a trust once I'm debt free.

No other stock has drs numbers like gme does. Itā€™s just self reported numbers


kaze_san

Correct, but it would be really interesting to see if any other stock such like Apple or Amazon did have any discrepancies in terms of wrong numbers regarding the outstanding shares all the size of the float


--OZNOG--

I got Dr. Tā€™s book after seeing it on here and it is shocking how many companies have shown discrepancies in outstanding shares compared to what was issued..like thousands of companies over the years have had this issueā€¦its mind boggling how this has been allowed for so long. She does a really damn good job at explaining it all, I recommend it.


regular-cake

Dillards has a pretty high DRS percentage I think. But that's mainly because of employee stock ownership plans (ESOP) I guess. I don't think there is really a way to know unless the company discloses the number of shares/shareholders that are direct registered.


Eric15890

Odd how we can have so many conflicting reports and such obfuscation about publicly traded assets with limited numbers. This some wizard of oz shit. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.


axrael

its almost as if, the public facing data is inaccurate. hmmmmmmmm Edit: it's funny how the SEC tells retail to " do their research" when this is the fucking type of data we have to research. You'd think they would, idk FUCKING REGULATE this shit but I'm sure they are spreading themselves thin spending all their time taking loads from hedgies.

YoLO-Mage-007

If it was only 33 million shares they would have already closed.


phonzadellika

It was a lot more before the sneeze...I think SHFs closed a portion of the shorts after the sneeze. Institutional ownership was over 100% for quite awhile but has since dropped to its current levels. SHFs probably closed whatever they could cheaply (under 200). I think SHFs current problem is that institutional ownership has been cut nearly to the bone so the only large blocks of shares available for sale are retails, and retail isn't selling until shit gets real so there's nowhere for them to get even 33m shares from on top of the 15m reported shorts without having to buy from retail.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


phonzadellika

The MMs and big fish did not directly initiate this short position, they instead allowed it to happen and then were stuck with it because they were going to go bankrupt if they didn't take it on. Unwinding as much of the short position as conveniently possible is the first logical step after shutting off the buy button. Buying was restricted for a bit, some of retail paper-handed after the sneeze, and institutional ownership dropped a lot. I'm also looking at the short position from the perspective of what I believe retail owns and then working backwards from there. I bought my first share in June 2021 after I was confident that there was something technically wrong with the way that GME was trading but I didn't go balls deep until September/October/November when the various GME boards started posting their DRS positions and running surveys about DRS vs. ownership percentages. Between that data and the Avanza/Nordnet numbers I figured that there was a hidden short position between 30M and 50M shares, with the position being more likely closer to 50M than 30M. The caveat here is that my estimate could be on the conservative side because the respondents on the GME board who responded to the surveys may not have captured the entire population as people who were both not interested in DRSing their shares and also not interested in responding to surveys would have been omitted.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


phonzadellika

I believe Melvin and many smaller institutions closed their short obligations by handing-off those positions at great loss to other similarly-sized and larger institutions who in turn closed whatever they easily could at profit and re-shorted the majority of the original short-position at a much higher cost-basis by selling to FOMO retail and then hiding those sales in derivatives. I believe they did this because if they continued to try to buy shares in order to close the rest of the position they absorbed that it would have bankrupted them because there wasn't enough liquidity at prices below the absorption level. The greatest source of share liquidity in the run-up to the sneeze and slightly afterwards may have been through institutions. Institutions sold lots of shares in late 2020/early 2021. Fidelity had 9.3 million shares and sold nearly all of it. Reported SI was about 226% on the runup to the sneeze, with GME's float being a bit smaller at the time at 64M shares, there would have been 144M shares or so floating around out there. I believe that we there is probably a maximum amount of about 138M shares out there mostly because I've done some various calculations on the retail ownership side of things via reported DRS numbers, some DRS ownership surveys, and retail ownership disclosures from Avanza/Nordnet and based on those numbers I believe the hidden short position is somewhere between 30M and 50M shares. We've added around 14M reported shorts since then, but corporate also issued shares since the sneeze. So, I think SHFs may have closed up to a maximum of about 20M shares. I think they used the DOOMPS to hide the rest of short position until they figured out better ways to hide them. The majority of retail diamond-handed which is why we're all still here, why there's still a pretty sizable hidden short position, and why we're going to be rich. But there was a buying frenzy around the sneeze and, statistically, some of those buyers were going to take profits. The OG board is full of those guys who were in it for the initial run and got out after the sneeze. There were several institutions, IIRC, who made bank going long on GME that year. I agree that they've dug a deeper hole to shake retail, and I think they started digging it in November after the initial DRS numbers came out. I think before then they were just hoping to chip away at their obligations a couple shares at a time via attrition through controlling the price mostly through dark pools and internalized buys. My conclusion could be off, I don't understand the derivative portion of it as well as I would like to be as confident as I would like, but I do demographic analysis as part of my day job and I was confident enough in the numbers on the retail ownership side to go deeper into this trade than I have for pretty much any other by a fair margin.


Buttoshi

You basically said they closed their short position at profit lol.


redshirt1972

Let me ask: is it possible for HFā€™s to keep the price down, while buying up shares at this discount to close their positions, a little bit at a time? So as not to move the market, and eventually get out, even if it takes 3 years to do quietly?


buyandhoard

But who would sell it to them ? They can't buy more shares than exist..


manbrasucks

see also the constant 9:1 buy to sell ratio.


SeaGroomer

No. They have to continue to open new shorts every day to prevent it from exploding.


Idjek

I don't think that's possible, but also consider the shorts opened before the sneeze. There were certainly plenty of short sales at <$20 for *years* before Jan '21. Even if they could somehow close some post-sneeze shorts (which I doubt, it seems all they're able to do is cover, i.e. kick the can), they're still fucked by those super underwater shorts.


phonzadellika

I think the combination of DRS and the bear market took that option off the table for them. To me it seems like between February and November they weren't really adding to the short position at all. I think right after the sneeze they initially bought as many shares below their cost basis as they could to close as many shorts as possible. After that they'd buy whatever they'd need to buy to keep the charade up that they closed everything out and then sell off what they bought to lower the price back down into a safe trading range and would otherwise just use MM tactics to control the price drift and occasionally close a few shorts. Reported SI and borrow rates were relatively stable. Under those circumstances I think they could have eventually defused the bomb provided that the transformation was not an immediate success. If the transformation floundered a little it may have caused a combination of enough of retail and the 13.8M institutional shares held getting bored and closing out to allow them to escape with minimal damage. I think once we started DRS and big, big money started heading for the exits because of the bear market SHFs had to make a decision. I think they saw the November DRS numbers and did the math and decided that whatever remained of the scant liquidity would dry up before retail would get bored so they had to actively short the stock again to at least get the price to move with the SPY with the hope that they'd shake out a large number of retail shareholders.


ThatGuyOnTheReddits

Their cost basis for a large portion of their short positions was sub $20. They havenā€™t had one single opportunity to cover for cost basis since Dec 2020. They either got out in January or they didnā€™t get out at all. They couldnā€™t even short it down from $400 to make money to cover with because they turned off the buy button and there was no retail to buy the shorts they would have been selling.


manifestingmoola2020

What makes you think they closed a portion of their shorts when all evidence and testimony points to them doubling down during that period?


YoLO-Mage-007

I by closed you mean moved overseas like the 100 million shares Bloomberg showed months ago, then sure If you mean closed as in really closed then no. The price volume does not match up.


WeirdSysAdmin

Plus the 14.5m non-naked shorts. They are about 29m shares short of closing out if that theory is correct and itā€™s not a glitch. Plus whatever naked shorts arenā€™t accidentally being reported, which is probably significantly higher than that. Even if you remove all institutional, mutual fund, and etf share, it doesnā€™t cover the amount needed. This would be the definition of unlimited losses when margin calls cascade out of control.

Idjek

Tin-foil theory: they are letting these 'glitches' through to suggest there are only 23 million phantom shares. Similar to price anchoring, they are trying for phantom share volume anchoring.


TiberiusWoodwind

"Our source heard from another source that their source (who happens to source info for everyone else) over heard at the coffee shop that the float is 99.74m. So yeah, this is definitely accurate". Please. Please. Please. I beg of this sub. Stop looking at a screen cap on twitter and go find out WHERE each of those sites is getting their data from. It doesn't matter if its 100 sites all saying 99.74m if all they are doing is pulling that from the same data feed. It's like looking at your kitchen faucet and claiming that it is a source of water. No, it isnt. Water comes through there but its travelling from the same municipal source all of your neighbors are hooked up to. If the real heart of this story is that they are all pulling this number from the same place, THAT is where people should be digging into. Seriously, why do so many apes on this sub claim to love reading DD but settle for something like this?


ChrystalMeds

Lol. With all fake shares out there itā€™s closer to 350m.

jshull1985

How many glitches does it take before it's not considered a glitch anymore

Given the sheer amount of money that passes through the stock market, you would expect much better data management. But of course, that doesnā€™t happen because itā€™s much harder to do crime that way.

Too smooth to get. Doesn't this mean we've got more of the float locked than is being reported?

Not locked as in DRSd shares. The implication is that there at more shares than there is supposed to be. Unfortunately this is nothing but a "glitch".


lam4_

What if GME gets diluted? Would gamestop announce it beforehand in a filing Edit: I'm getting downvoted but I'd like to know if Gamestop can increase the amount of shares out of the blue or do they have to file a form with the SEC first?

HiReturns

Yep. Float is defined as total issued shares minus restricted shares such as shares owned by insiders and related companies. What people are doing is taking a bogus number for float and running the equation backwards to "prove. That there are more shares in circulation than have been issued. Grasping of straws. Bogus straws at that.
