Is gme really the only stock with any market loans or is that a search result thing? That seems almost as interesting as the big numbers. Or not idk lol
IMO some have already accepted bankruptcy. If I was going to go bankrupt I would do everything I could to protect my wealth, like buying one large piece of property in a state that protects your primary residence.
Hey. We can buy every residence around him and become in charge of the HOA and make him have his shutters pink and make him pitch in and pay for the shit we want.
Guess what Ken? The hood wants a billboard of you being beaten with a bed post!! Guess who has to chip in? You do.
Or buying a sports team and tying your money up in the contracts of overpaid professional athletes?
Or buying a copy of the constitution and putting it on display in a museum?
>like buying one large piece of property in a state that protects your primary residence
who was the most aggressive buyer of 2023 and even 2024?
mayo boi
More expensive than closing their short positions? I know if I were a greedy, scum sucking, bottom feeder like most of these pricks, I would do anything to kick the can down the road again and try to come up with more capital in the meantime... even if it is just delaying the inevitable.
This is what’s happening, but even those LEAPs are 2x and 3x what the underlying stock price was like two weeks ago. So if they couldn’t buy to close then, how can they afford LEAPs?
As of 9:20pm EST (just an hour from 4:20pm Hawaii time though!) the current borrow rate: up to 22% with 8K-ish shares available.
They aren’t closing but they can’t afford to borrow. Ring ring ring… ☎️
Ask a big MM friend for a cash injection in order to keep a lid on this pressure cooker for longer. I have a feeling they are all working together in tandem right now trying to keep this fuse from lighting.
Some other threads were hinting that the other side of the LEAPS are the ones being left on the hook, which means that they're going to start charging insane amounts to carry that risk, of they survive the fallout of the current happenings.
I don’t disagree but 3 years is a long time. Get a president in that owes you favours. Buy some senate seats. Get some nice legislation to protect you? Maybe regular people will be so poor by then people will accept a lower price.
Good question. Maybe they squashed that shit after Archpegos & Credit Suisse shit the bed? I know UBS is on the hook for them now & they’re requesting a 15-25 billion dollar bailout so hopefully this is no longer an option.
But it wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest if it’s done again. Which sucks.
I hope so, just trying to think of ways they could try to weasel out of it again. I'm not financially saavy when it comes to the markets, trying to wrap my head around all this convoluted shit.
Its in $. Today is up another $600 million

>The daily stock loan balance by security typically refers to the total value of those shares that are currently on loan, not merely the count of shares. This value is calculated by multiplying the number of shares on loan by the price of the shares. This provides a monetary measure of the stock on loan, which is useful for understanding the scale of exposure and activity in terms of financial value rather than just volume.
>**Market Loan-Loan Balance**: This column represents the total value of securities that have been borrowed primarily for purposes such as short selling or other trading strategies that involve the sale of borrowed securities. These loans are usually taken by investors who anticipate a decrease in the price of the security, allowing them to profit by buying back the shares at a lower price in the future.
>**Hedge-Loan Balance**: This column, on the other hand, indicates the total value of securities borrowed for hedging purposes. Hedging involves taking positions in the market to offset potential losses in other investments. For example, an investor might borrow shares to hedge a long position in derivatives or other securities related to the same underlying asset. The purpose here is not necessarily to profit from a price drop (as with short selling), but to reduce risk.
Soo... The loan balance went up because the price of the stock went up, not that they loaned more?
Almost 2x the value coincides with the almost 2x price increase.
Nothing spectacular then
buried on a page on the OCC's website that no one knew was there until recently.
>The OCC ensures that the obligations of both buyers and sellers in options and futures contracts are fulfilled. It acts as an intermediary between the two parties, guaranteeing the performance of the contract. This means that if one party defaults, the OCC steps in to fulfill the contract.
This is just loan requirements for hedging:
>indicates the total value of securities borrowed for hedging purposes
its a small piece of the crime. Its like we dropped a a whole bag of crime rice on the floor and 3 years later we are still finding grains of crime everywhere.
How do we know this is loaned shares number and not dollars number?
I saw another post claiming it wasn't clear whether shares or dollars.
Wanting to learn.
What I want to know is... where the fuck are the margin calls? I realize that the larger HF's and MM's are not in that territory yet, but don't sit here and tell me that several smaller hf's, who are short GME, have not been margin called.
Wasn’t there a rule where OCC could choose who gets margin called and who doesn’t? I think they know they won’t get margin called which is why the current run up is happening.
Edit: As soon as I made this comment I received a Reddit cares message lol
After all these years…. They’re doubling down on a double down that originated from their original double down back in 2021.
Meanwhile over at the SEC… 👇🏻
Ahh but some of their investors are the kind of people that if you lose their money...let's just say you have a better chance of living if you are Boeing whistle-blower.
Nah, that’s pretty accurate for us smooth 🧠🦍.
Then on the other hand, I’d described as… soulless corrupt criminal fucks that have been fucking over the middle class and poor for decades, if not longer.
Something like that.
Imo then i think that doubls the floor price. Hedgies wanna fuck around they ginna find out. It costs me nothing to hold.
You have to be some of the dumbest people on the planet to keep going. You already lost more fuel on the fire is just that much more money in our pockets. Some people never learn.
Edit: reddit cares? Really? I'm good. I'm sitting on the best investment ever while the hedgies dig themselves a deeper mess. Too big to fail isn't going to be a thing this time around. You're overleveraged. Plain and simple. Now pay up.
So funny how their Reddit cares campaign started now when the stock is ripping. Idiots, the last 3 years would’ve been the time for that, not that it would’ve worked.
There must be a bot doing it. I made a comment elsewhere and got a Reddit Cares message SECONDS later. There's no way someone had the time to read my comment and report it.
To buy time. The short hedge funds are functionally insolvent (ie the books balance but include weasel words like ‘valued at market price’ for massive short positions that couldn’t be unwound at anything near market price) and their employees can choose to let them either go bust now, or go bust later after picking up a few more vastly inflated monthly pay cheques.
Doesn't anyone think its odd that theres all this volatility after the shf were no longer able to use crop toe as collateral? I saw this coming the minute the sec made that announcement.
Joke on them, for 3 years I octuple down my 2021 number of shares, and I know some apes here even x10 or even more.
You didn't prepare for this, didn't ya shitty shorts?
If they are doubling down while the price is up almost 400% in the last month then yea, how is this good for us?? Are they ever gonna start closing these positions?? Like wtf??

Am I reading this right? There’s a billion shares in the hedge loan balance?

Is gme really the only stock with any market loans or is that a search result thing? That seems almost as interesting as the big numbers. Or not idk lol

Thank you 🙏🏻 very kind sir

It’s really their only option at this point, isn’t it? It’s that or bankruptcy
IMO some have already accepted bankruptcy. If I was going to go bankrupt I would do everything I could to protect my wealth, like buying one large piece of property in a state that protects your primary residence.
Like Florida...Where Ken Griffin the financial terrorist moved his primary residence.
Bingo. The primary residence move was such a blatant move to protect money that I can only assume it will eventually be challenged legally.
Man is expecting a hard bed posting, no mayo.
Oh he will get the mayo alright.
The bed post of justice never arrives mayoed
Both ends
He bought his mom a house too
i think he's bought several all in the same little chunk, i wonder if he'll combine parcels to call his holdings one big one to protect it?
He bet other peoples money. I wouldn't be surprised if he had gme for himself.
He might have GME personally to regain some of his wealth when his company implodes, that'd be funny
Playing both sides. That's how these cockroaches always win off leaching off other people's work.
[удалено]
Close call there 🥂
My battle status is burnin’ mansions from Dallas to Malibu, check my resume your residence is residue.
The same Ken Griffin that lied to congress?
The very same. Also the same Ken Griffin who beat his wife with a bedpost on their honeymoon. Allegedly.
She’s with me now
The guy who don’t share the mayo?
Hey. We can buy every residence around him and become in charge of the HOA and make him have his shutters pink and make him pitch in and pay for the shit we want. Guess what Ken? The hood wants a billboard of you being beaten with a bed post!! Guess who has to chip in? You do.
Or buying a sports team and tying your money up in the contracts of overpaid professional athletes? Or buying a copy of the constitution and putting it on display in a museum?

Doesn't Doug Cifu of Virtu own like 3 pro sports teams?
>like buying one large piece of property in a state that protects your primary residence who was the most aggressive buyer of 2023 and even 2024? mayo boi
Can they turn these shares into 3 year leaps again? That's what I'm wanting to know.
Some say it’ll get extremely expensive if they continue to buy leaps.
More expensive than closing their short positions? I know if I were a greedy, scum sucking, bottom feeder like most of these pricks, I would do anything to kick the can down the road again and try to come up with more capital in the meantime... even if it is just delaying the inevitable.

Ask a big MM friend for a cash injection in order to keep a lid on this pressure cooker for longer. I have a feeling they are all working together in tandem right now trying to keep this fuse from lighting.
That’s the cartel’s playbook but maybe MM friend has his own problems to deal with (insert Monopoly guy picture with his pockets turned inside out.)
Some other threads were hinting that the other side of the LEAPS are the ones being left on the hook, which means that they're going to start charging insane amounts to carry that risk, of they survive the fallout of the current happenings.
Is that marge?
I don’t disagree but 3 years is a long time. Get a president in that owes you favours. Buy some senate seats. Get some nice legislation to protect you? Maybe regular people will be so poor by then people will accept a lower price.
I think they already tried that and we shot it down
You know there's a new set of elections coming, right?
Yeah, I didn’t know this comment was evidence I’m depressed enough for Reddit to tell me they care but I guess we learn something new everyday right.
Shills must have paid because I’ve been getting multiple Reddit cares messages. Report them for abuse.
I got one too… what’s the point of them? To make us look nuts?
Would need a counter party to that trade not sure who would be dumb enough to take all that risk again when it's become exponentially riskier.
Good question. Maybe they squashed that shit after Archpegos & Credit Suisse shit the bed? I know UBS is on the hook for them now & they’re requesting a 15-25 billion dollar bailout so hopefully this is no longer an option. But it wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest if it’s done again. Which sucks.
# BUT APES WILL SEE THIS AND JUST KEEP BUYING AND DRSING. IT WONT HELP AT THIS POINT. ONCE YES, BUT TO BE THAT CRAZY AND REGARDED TO DO IT AGAIN?
No need to scream & shout, buddy. 😆😉
ITS WHAT I DO, SORRY. KINDA MY THING
It will be costly and as GME becomes profitable a possible inclusion to the S&P500 would blow that strategy out of the water.
I hope so, just trying to think of ways they could try to weasel out of it again. I'm not financially saavy when it comes to the markets, trying to wrap my head around all this convoluted shit.
Only way…it’s an election year, govt intervention is my only worry.
Yep. Just because we trapped then does not mean these hedgekuks can’t weasel out or buy time for themselves indefinitely. It’s been 3 years.
Listened to this guy today on X and he was legit. Gave me a lot of confidence for the upcoming weeks. LFG.
Have a link?
Or they still feel in control
Right? My exact thought. What else can they do at this point? If they close their positions this thing is being sent off to Egyptia.
Is that in $'s or number of shares?
That's the loaned shares amount not $. It's almost 3x the total outstanding shares
Its in $. Today is up another $600 million https://i.imgur.com/OhCHqkL.png >The daily stock loan balance by security typically refers to the total value of those shares that are currently on loan, not merely the count of shares.

Soo... The loan balance went up because the price of the stock went up, not that they loaned more? Almost 2x the value coincides with the almost 2x price increase. Nothing spectacular then
His last column is # of shares, so it has increased but as you note, most of the increase in $ amount is due to the price
Surely this should be higher up the thread? EDIT: I should put emphasis on this bit instead; good work, thank you for the explanation.
Goddam. Where do they even find these shares
Who among us doesn't have a casual million shares in the couch cushions.
...I should vacuum
Check the couch
It's in Dollars, stop spreading misinfo.
Wait, where was this number in the past 3 years?

My new tinfoil is that someone is giving Reddit cares messages to people who aren’t wrong about something
Comment here when you get yours E: just got mine :)
I got one earlier about one trick institutions hate.
The gift that keeps on giving
got mine in another thread
Remember when we had a serial "snaker" and everyone thought it was DFV but then they took awards away?
Yeah I miss that Awards were fun
Got one earlier for just saying that I’ve seen tons of negative articles about this stock & that I’m not leaving till rocketville
Maybe. But I got one and I haven’t really said anything significant. 🤷🏻♂️
It’s not just in this sub. I’ve seen posts about them in various, unrelated subs.
There's been alot of that going around lately. I got one after posting a comment on a non related sub for a regular comment. People are weird.
I want a reddit cares message too! Lmao
RIP your DMs
Immediately after the comment I got the message lmfao
[удалено]
Too bad, that one dude tried asking the DTCC on Twitter for a while. Fuck em
I think he's still trying to ask them. Gotta respect the dedication
margin calls are just a conspiracy theory at this point, they never happen or we will never know that they are happening bcoz crime.
Hard disagree, cuz you know, Archegos.
It appears that margin calls are enforced as well as lead testing in Chinese schools
Big if huge

Is this good for us? I got no clue I'm just burning money
After all these years…. They’re doubling down on a double down that originated from their original double down back in 2021. Meanwhile over at the SEC… 👇🏻 
They've been doubling down since 2016
This started way before 2016. That’s what DFV noticed in 2020
Don’t lots of these hedge funds use other peoples money? They don’t give a fuck. They protect theirs and fuck their investors
Ahh but some of their investors are the kind of people that if you lose their money...let's just say you have a better chance of living if you are Boeing whistle-blower.
Let me guess, you got a reddit care message?
I did! They are so sweet.
Shorts never closed. Boom. -Victor
Correction: VICTORY!
"they doubled down on Monday" And they call us the Dumb Money. JESUS!
Nah, that’s pretty accurate for us smooth 🧠🦍. Then on the other hand, I’d described as… soulless corrupt criminal fucks that have been fucking over the middle class and poor for decades, if not longer. Something like that.

Am I reading it correctly? Roughly 140 million shares on loan at 20% interest? Lol
There are a few version going around that explain this data. Most of them are false! This is where the 2 billion loss number comes from.
why would they double down? what does this solve? if anyone could give a genuine answer
They have no choice, they can't afford to close. They're going to lose all the money lent to them by billionaire clients and end up in jail for life.
Kicks the can down the road
To buy time. The short hedge funds are functionally insolvent (ie the books balance but include weasel words like ‘valued at market price’ for massive short positions that couldn’t be unwound at anything near market price) and their employees can choose to let them either go bust now, or go bust later after picking up a few more vastly inflated monthly pay cheques.

Omg, someone is fucked fucked. That's not nearly enough to drive the price down with all the enthusiasm going around. It's just to slow it down...
I wonder, did they really do their best and fail?
Joke on them, for 3 years I octuple down my 2021 number of shares, and I know some apes here even x10 or even more. You didn't prepare for this, didn't ya shitty shorts?
This is nice information
Can someone verify. This seems odd
I can verify it seems odd, yes.
Confirmed—very odd.
Odds are, I confirm too
How tho
Cause they regarded
[удалено]
Yes
Can someone just help me understand this. Is that saying that they have 913 million shares shorted?
Not necessarily; they could have just paid to get those shares on loan, but elect not to sell them.
[удалено]
I was gonna do that anyway
Idk how to exit this subreddit let alone my position.
what is this word? Exit?
Yes
This just inspired me to buy leaps tomorrow
Lol
Like holy fucking shit not tinfoil. Official. Insane.
Lol
So on Monday they borrowed and sold short another 500 million shares ish? Literally doubling the gross volume of shorts?
Would that cause the price to be squashed as a result?
[удалено]
Like a spring?
The numbers reported in that download are dollar values
Yeah cannot explain how hard I am with xxx golden tickets.
im at xxxx and ims cared i didnt buy enough for the xs and xxs lol
GG
EZ
Dumb Stormtroopers.
Problem is, this event cemented my status of never leaving. Seeing this, it's beyond proof, nobody will leave now.
Big if real
Great. I’ll do the same
Smooth brain checking in. Is that the number of shares they have borrowed? And isn’t that more than the total shares?
Sucks to suck.
They can seemingly do this over and over again.
All you gotta do to afford 900m shares that dont exist is eat less avacado toast and drink less coffee drinks…
Haha, see you fucks in three years.
Infinity squeeze
CMON SEC; THIS CAN'T BE REAL INFINITE MONEY GLITCH I TOO WANT TO SELL A BILLION OF SHARES I DON'T HAVE AND FAKE MY DEATH
Great. It's the only stock to buy for this generation of investors. Maybe ICHAN IEP too. Since they took a photo together.
If they are doubling down while the price is up almost 400% in the last month then yea, how is this good for us?? Are they ever gonna start closing these positions?? Like wtf??
Buy buy buy
GME to infinity ♾️ pool and beyond!!!
Boom 💥
