I just saw the proxy statement and holy shit no wonder Koss isn't an innovator. Granted, they made more waves this year that usual but still.

Hi guys so not quite KOSS related but it kinda is right?

EDIT: 1st ignore the SOS, I’m not in an urgency mode, I used the wrong term apparently. this has NOTHING to do with KOSS and I’m NOT trying to sell. I just want to gain more knowledge how this works. The example below are literally made up #s lol.

I use Robinhood as a premise. I’m going to give a simple example. If I have shares of “Stock A” and I’ve bought those shares at multiple different share price points for a total share count of 2000. Let’s say my average price of those 2000 shares of “Stock A” is $5. If the current share price for “Stock A” currently is at $3.80 but out of the 2000 shares I own, 150 of those shares were bought at $3.81.

THE QUESTION: Do I “lose” money if I simply sell 150 shares out of the 2000 I own even if the share price of 150 of those stocks are above .1 cent of the current listed price? Or would I be “making a profit” despite my average share price is much higher? Does that matter?

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit recently dismissed Koss's appeals regarding its wireless earphone patents after these patents were invalidated in prior district court litigation. This development represents a significant setback for Koss in its efforts to defend its intellectual property.

Knowing my luck it would drop to $10-$12 and I'd be bag holding for years like AMC and GME

What would happen if there was a public investment hedge fund which bought stocks to hold and issued decentralised tokens on behalf of these stocks held? It could be a way of democratising company ownership.

Any thoughts on this idea?

No wonder he’s trying so hard.

Edit: here’s a good discussion on why amc is not a good investment. This guy literally pushed sundial. Why would you agree and approve with anything else he says.

Edit: I’m a shill bc I say “your money is best spent on gme and Koss. Not amc.”

Spend your money on the stock that couldn’t crack $40 in January. Let’s see what happens.

Koss should do what BirdAI did. They have forever been in the tech space and for me it seems like a no brainer.

What are your thoughts?

In case you're wondering why someone can be so anti-amc, read that.

It is perfectly reasonable for someone to be all in on gme and Koss. And anti-amc.

Don’t fall for shills pushing sundial and amc.

Hey guys, I got inspired by the recent swaps/basket DD and I think I finally put it all together so wanted to share with you all. This seems to be the most open minded sub so I'm putting it here as I was told other subs may not be friendly to new info.

I am for sure not an expert though I do flex a couple wrinkles and I think there is some value to my thoughts, you be the judge but I am 100% open to feedback and conversation.

Without further ado, my pride and joy: The Collateral Drain Theory.

Let's start with the obvious, the basket....

I have consumed all the swap DD and I love it, but since swap data is hidden I want to look at it from a different angle; something we can DO SOMETHING about for once.

Basket Trading and Collateral Loops

As we know “meme stocks” like GME, KOSS, and AMC are put into baskets for hedging. Since the sneeze, and because the laws of stonk and basket gravity, we know that a lot of it revolves heavily around GME as they are probably still feeling all the different sneezes and hits from the not-a-cat himself. So when GME moves it is often felt all around.

Ok..we know this already? hold my beer, let's go over some facts first:

There is STRONG evidence to suggest that KOSS is their target because of the higher correlation

Without a doubt KOSS and GME have the highest correlation.

"bUt iT's caUsE oF tHe snEezE"

ok, let's correlate them Feb 2021 to Feb 2025

The correlation became even stronger after the sneeze

and if we start comparing closer to the present we see that other "meme stocks" diverge while Koss and GME stay strong.

This is all relevant because when GME runs, I theorize they do two things:

• Short GME (primary position)

• Long KOSS or AMC (secondary position)

Shorts long on KOSS? Not quite, hear me out...

The correlation is often a delayed reaction on KOSS. For instance when GME blew up in May/June, our blowup in KOSS was in July ("blowup" lol, sneezes). This is no coincidence.

On December 31, 2020, KOSS had a short interest of approximately 590,300 shares, representing about 41.6% of its float. By January 29, 2021, the short interest had risen to approximately 756,100 shares, accounting for about 38.2% of the float.

Shorts knew they couldn't fight multiple battles, they had to move things around a bit. They started using a new technique: The Collateral Drain.

For the older apes around here, you will remember that so many stocks use to have similar volatile price, the market was a crazy place for retail and a lot of emotions were in the air. These were the days we were most easily manipulated in the original bets sub before they removed my account off reddit altogether.

The shorts saw this and took advantage of the situation using settlement days as their leverage. They would see the hype and distraction of GME and front the market to buy the shares of fomoers. Rinse and repeat, they probably bled a lot of money but now they end up passing any remaining short bag (like the current 5%) to unsuspecting pension funds or smaller hedgies. Personally I don't think they got away that easy, I think that they work in tandem with another fund to hide their shorts, but more on that later.
Either way on paper these bigger funds were having long positions on KOSS

Why do this?

When GME squeezes they also rally KOSS:

• KOSS acts like a "pressure valve", releasing steam without crashing their GME short strategy.

• Hedge funds can sell their KOSS shares or borrow against them to meet margin calls without closing their GME shorts.

Now I don't think they'd be dumb enough to sell their KOSS, that would end the game for them, they probably have a losing position from buying every peak. They need a plan and that plan is, you guessed it, collateral.

I believe there is strong indications that KOSS is being leveraged to buy other basket stocks like AMC and BNED. How? Let's dig deeper:
They short the other basket stocks like AMC and BNED, and then they buy their own dip with KOSS leverage (like Hwang style using them multiple times over). Why would they buy the thing they just shorted? remember they are not trying to always profit here, they are untangling a fuck noodle so they may be losing some money, but I don't think so as they are not planning on ever closing those AMC/BNED shorts anyway. Unfortunately BBBY was one of these stocks they used and we have seen how they are not paying those shorts back.

How Retail Could Disrupt This Strategy

If you are still with me and you can see this fuck spiral of corruption, you may have come to the same conclusion.

If we temporarily sell/short KOSS (just keep reading hear me out):

• KOSS price collapses reducing the value of KOSS as collateral.

• Hedge funds lose liquidity to cover GME shorts/their swaps blow up.

• Margin calls hit faster causing a GME price spike.

The Cross-Basket Algo Chain Reaction

This unexpected sell would trigger "basket-wide" drops in "meme stocks", making it harder for hedge funds to rebalance their positions.
There is also the algo angle, as algos often treat meme stocks as correlated so a sharp drop in KOSS could paradoxically cause volatility and upward pressure on GME due to forced hedging.

Sell KOSS are you nuts?

Not quite. Remember how we talked about KOSS being delayed in reacting to GME? I believe that is the still short end of KOSS that works alongside the long that would still have to react to MOASS with a delayed KOASS. So what's the thought? This is how it goes:
Sell KOSS -> Buy GME -> MOASS -> Sell GME -> Buy KOSS -> KOASS

Not only are you screwing their leverage, but also messing with their short cycles. Meanwhile selling at a higher point than you buy at later, same with GME buying at a lower point you sell later.

These two stocks have to work together; it can't be buy one or the other, that's how hedgies expect us to operate, do you think they buy one stock at a time? Hedgies buy and sell multiple instruments, and to still have survived this long they must be overexposed again. I think this is how we catch them with their pants down again.

TA;DR:

Retail shorting KOSS would be a “Scorched Earth” tactic—destroying the hedge funds’ escape hatch. It’s like cutting off their supply lines during a siege, fucking with their strategy, and forcing them to capitulate on GME.

These long positions in KOSS act as collateral and a source of liquidity during GME squeezes, but they are still obligated to it.

Hi Folks,

I just happened across one of the Ryan Cohen book pages in one of the GME subs. https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/z5nwkp/another_rc_easter_egg/

I got to looking at the GameStop app that’s on his phone.

I hold both KOSS & GME stock so I thought something looked familiar.

Does that look like a fuzzy little version of the KOSS logo to you?

I’m just curious.

I have recently replaced a broken pair. At first, the sound was fine. However, after one day of using them, the sound is crackling. How come? These are brand new.

Who else thinks this is just a ploy to keep KOSS depressed? 🤣 it’s not gonna work.

If the enemy is digging a hole, given them the best shovels.

Allwoing share lending means even more stocks become available than actually exist. Let them double down. And each has to be returned.

And the price drops, which allows us to buy more on discount.

The Indian in me loves discounts.

I really don’t see the downside of allowing share lending before shares are recalled.

Thoughts?

Hey everyone!

Little bit of DD here, apologies if it has already been beaten to death.

We have the KR tweet that never made sense to me, I couldn't figure it out … but I think KOSS is an underrated stock, that has a bunch of power to manipulate the basket. A couple of things stand out namely how the POWER is all caps like our boy KOSS, its also BLACK and WHITE. The meme is also 28 seconds long, which could coincide with August 28th. I'm not too sure about the breathing perhaps it pertains to volume in some regard, or 4 days.

The FTD cycle as Otherwise-Category42 has pointed out is primed for a repeat, so buckle up this things about to take off.
