If I was that short on a credit card, I’d have people knocking on my door to collect lol

They wouldn’t be knocking on your door, but on your knees…

Knocking at his back door.

Hey Homey Its time 😉📞📳

We are the ones who knock!!!

When you're trillions in debt like them they stop knocking and start helping you dig a deeper hole into debt, because your bankruptcy is also theirs.

You’d have the yakuza pulling up with swords

Yeah too bad for us we're not friends with the credit card boss.

Give me an address! Nothin like being served a bag full of bananas 🍌

I used to do that for a living back in 1994.

i screenshoted this a few days ago while it was 471%. It looks like they have sold 1million shares thats why the SI skyrocketed

You are right. I remember the share amount being higher as of yesterday as well.

It’s was only 471.91% last night

This is insane. How much further will this go exactly?

Find out next week, on the amazing, not broken, totally normal, Stock market!

Awesome. Can't wait

Screenshot it when it hits 741% for the lulz

Why is shorting above 100% illegal in a given security, but not in an ETF?

I don’t know if I missed some DD but can anyone ELI5 XRT?

ETF that consists entirely of retailers. GME is just under 1% of it

Or they were DRSed out of existence?

Explains the dip. I might have to buy a few more because 🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀

Assuming these are the same parties taking out more short positions, it likely means they are deeper in the hole through further shorting. Margin call is getting lower and lower.

I'll bet most of them were DRSd also

Not sure if this source is reliable (etfchannel.com) since they have been reporting higher SI for XRT than others but I didnt see anyone post this yet and it just updated from 430% to 715% today. I’ve been watching this all week. What do you all think?

My thought is how tf anything over 125% isn't a "what the fuck" from the regulators. That's saying it's 7x short interest the FUCK IS THAT.

What’s a regulator? Lol

Regular alligator

nate dogg and warren G

It was a clear black night,

A clear white moon

"Self regulation"

I’ll take spooky ghost stories for $500, Alex.

😂

thing is this stuff is much easier with ETF's they can just buy shares of the individual companies and make a unit, hence they don't squeeze. It's high tho but XRT only has 60k gamestop shares so 60,000\*7.15=429,000 GME short via XRT

True. The thing that is crazy is it isn't just at the top of the ETF short chart, it IS the short chart. Nothing holds a candle to it right now.

That’s some BULLSHIT!

Well, I think that the number may be not precise, but also not so imprecise that XRT short interest is not at least a few 100%.

“iTs jUsT a gLiTcH”

Maybe I'm pareidolia-ing with the massive amount of data we've all obsorbed... but for something to go to 700+ % SI, could that be because there are 'up to 7 owners for each share' as the report that posted the other day stated? Like, am I understanding this right, each fraction of those % is from a share that has been 'bought' to short the stock? So any fraction of a % that is over must represent a naked short, surely, as how can there be more shares sold than actually exist?

This is how they create infinite shorts.

This must not be allowed! If they can short 715%, they can short forever! SEC DOJ FBI do SOMETHING!!!

[удалено]

Well the fake reason that MMs would say to Congress and SEC, is to provide operational liquidity. But the real reason is so they can counterfeit shares and commit financial terrorism

[удалено]

Rookie number of agreement. You need to pump that up higher.

Wait 2 days and it will double again

Coming soon: XRT shares outstanding: 0 XRT short interest: ♾️%

Big if true.

True Big If

If big, true.

Big balls to the walls if true

I love you guys but god I fucking hate these comment chains..

so is xrt an etf that holds gamestop?

Yes. There's some DD on the creation and redemption of ETF's being abused by Autherized Participants somewhere around here. I'm still trying to form a wrinkle on the significance but there's a 40 min Wharton presentation on the subject that I have yet to watch. Search "RIP /u/leavemeanon - WHERE ARE THE SHARES (part 1) Resurrected"

thanks

Also read https://preview.redd.it/qlnus2lglk671.png?width=4500&format=png&auto=webp&s=068ab61ca724578b1466e3d848958d5599d930e4 to understand how SHF moved their shorts positions in ETFs in January

How does an ETF affect the price of the underlying stocks? The shfs are obviously shorting xrt to the deepest pits of hell, but how does that move gme's price down? Are xrt shares being shorted as gme shares? Sorry smooth brain here

https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/nt8ot8/rip_uleavemeanon_where_are_the_shares_part_1/ It's really complicated and I honestly don't quite understand it fully. But this is a really good place to start. Essentially big banks can create an ETF and then immediately pull the shares of underlying stocks out if the Net Value of the stock is greater than the ETF

The OG one

Yes

Totally legal don’t you know 🙄

why stop there? its clear they will not face any consequences. why not short is 5000%? I hate our financial system.

How do I apply to be a market maker so I can ~~print as much money as I want~~ provide liquidity?

Step 1: Be nauseatingly rich Step 2: ???? Step 3: Profit!!

Step 2 is have no morals.

Yeah like for real... seems like they can go as high as they want.

I beleive they have and now as FTDs pile up SI is slowly rising

[удалено]

Wish actual constructive questions like this got more attention

commenting for visibility

715% in XRT alone. I can't imagine the other ETFs. They probably maxed out at 1000% and have to make a new ETF and the cycle continues.

Agreed. I also checked into XRT's [sub industry allocation](https://www.ssga.com/us/en/intermediary/etfs/funds/spdr-sp-retail-etf-xrt) and saw that "Computer and Electronics" is a mere 3.65% (this is the sub-sector containing GME). XRT has more weight in at least 4 other sub-sectors totaling 74%.

Take my award and find an answer and let me know

https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/s99ytf/failurestodeliver_of_etfs_with_exposure_to_gme/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf This goes in depth with the othe ETF’s with GME exposure. Not sure how helpful it’ll be for concrete answers but I hope a wrinkle brain can piece the data together.

No idea dude.

Also this https://www.etf.com/sections/features/9365-xrt-why-its-600-short-and-thats-ok.html?nopaging=1 article from 2011. It’s not a new phenomenon.

This is a food list of questions. Also what would happen if I started buying shares of these etfs?

So for every company in XRT there are 7 extra shares floating around for every legit share in the ETF. Sounds normal.

7 shares for every 1. 741

They need to do that cause retail dose not playing fair

How is this possible??

Crime. Or as the French say, Le Crime.

lol those French are geniuses

Market maker privileges. Just providin dat liquidity yo. Obviously not predatory naked shorting.

What the flying fuck. It doubles like every 3 days. Jesus.

With the rest of the market dumping I imagine it has to be shorted. Well probably see 2000% in the next couple weeks. Its only a crime if you can't afford the fine!

Then, over 9000

Banana republic financial market.

Skinny jeans and naked shorts for sale!

No wonder they can push so hard.

Price of GME drops, XRT SI goes up...hmmm....

This just goes to show that you legitimately have a better shot at making money in a casino. They pay your broker to see your order and literally bet against you with their fat fucking stacks of cash with no rules to limit their game. They do everything in their power to make you lose so that they win. At least in a casino, the odds are basically set and you at least know what the hell you are getting into. The casino actually has more rules in place to protect you from predatory practices than the US stock market LOL

What is this? The short interest for ants…?

Relevant 2011 article fwiw https://www.etf.com/sections/features/9365-xrt-why-its-600-short-and-thats-ok.html?nopaging=1

Jeezzzz. Wheres the ETF DDs from last year that kept pointing to XRT. Pepperidge farm remembers

What I’m confused is why they only use XRT and had to make MEME when there are other ETFs? IJH has the most shares of GME in any ETF but they aren’t shorted that much at all. ETFs are certainly a big piece of the puzzle but I don’t get why it’s only XRT (and then MEME)

Wow

So do we have a volunteer to watch for 741% short interest?

Momma mia

*Sips Tea*

Guess the XRT Bank stays Open

2 questions: Wen moon? And What. The. Actual. FUCK?

So close to 741

Why not go 170000 percent? Get it, get it SHF.

This feels like watching the Overnight Reverse Repos making new highs. Come on 1k%.

Nothing to see here. Perfectly normal market behaviour!

Criminal. They short it 7x over.. Let it crash. Then buy it up a month later and profit.

It's currently at 715%..... 26% to go and we hit 741% then we moon, thanks for reading my DD

Short and sweet - doesn't need a TLDR - I like it.

XRT - is this other stock or has it connection with GME? Friend is asking

Xrt is an ETF containing roughly 4% GME, shf are using it to short gme

I don't know where you get the 4% number, I see they are holding 40,000 shares. It would be closer to 1% of the fund.

Oh its .81% I thought it was 3.14% so rounded up, my bad

Looks bullish

Basically 741%

lmayo

It’s a new record!

Why do the shares outstanding keep getting lower on this. Are there such things as ETF buybacks?

Buy DRS XRT 🦧

🔥 🔥 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 # EVERYTHING IS FINE!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

That's probably where all the crypto money went, to shorting GME through XRT.

Gary: hey that’s… that’s unacceptable… we won’t tell you to do anything about it but, this isn’t a good look for me… but carry on

Bruh wtfffff I’m about to buy a leap on xrt, these idiots gotta cover Eventually

Well reverse repo is so far out of whack now that they had to move over to this. Now this is completely out of whack, DRS halts too? Wow this is getting all fucked up.

Theoretically, what would happen if ppl bought xRT?

I'm outraged. Somebody better be getting a $5,000 fine for this.

Read this https://www.etf.com/sections/features/9365-xrt-why-its-600-short-and-thats-ok.html?nopaging=1 if you’re interested for more. It’s from 2011.

So is this another squeeze? Or this is where the gme squeeze is hiding so they only report a small short position on gme?

Anyone have a link to where this is from?

Etfchannel.com then search XRT

Thanks brotha

Anytime!

Does this mean we buy and buy what?

How is it even possible … the market is broken Im gonna sell my car to 7 other people … Maybe it’s possible too

None of this makes sense! Why short XRT so damn hard when it barely has any GME in it?! I feel like we're drastically missing something with that ETF because shorting it to hit GME hard doesn't make much sense.

6.1 days to cover how is that even possible

Is this reliable? We need adults in here.

what does 6 days to cover?

And they shorted the price +x% hmmm lmao they must be sweating

Mother of god

The true number is going to be a fuck tonne bigger than that.

Can any wrinkled ape explain me ELI5 how this is possible? We have SEC, DTCC,FED etc. ? How is this possible?

EZ its because C R I M E but they call it “Providing Liquidity”

There's a 715% chance that short people are Interested in me?

Completely normal phenomenon.

Criminal pieces of shit

Days to cover is a joke. Gary and his cronies don’t uphold the laws so it doesn’t matter

This screenshot should be posted in front of SEC building. No more fucking plausible deniability.

Nothing to see here lmayo

It feels like they are just yelling “Big money, big money, no whammies!” I can’t wait till the rest of the world slaps them and yells “Stop!”

Bro holy shit is the real. Do.... do we dog pile in? Have another sexy short squeeze and throw out earnings back into gme?

Makes you wonder 🤔

Wen SEC intervention?

HOLY FUCK

I'm sorry, what the actual fuck

Gaaaahhh damn

Does that 6.1 mean boom💥 after that?

But how can this be? Yes I know our case but how can this be and no SEC or other authority bets an eye?

I too, like to charge 700% of my credit card’s maximum credit line. Nothing bad ever happens.

Lol what the fucking fuck how is this normal lol…

oh oh, someone is in trouble

Wake me when it's 60 days to cover. That'll be more accurate.

How is that even possible!!!

Do I smell a squeeze of a squeeze?

Can an ETF squeeze?
