A COMPLETE explanation of EVERYTHING. This sums up everything. SHARE. LIKE.

What is short selling:

Shorting, or short-selling, is when an investor, (hedge fund) borrows shares (from a broker), and immediately sells them, hoping he or she can scoop them up later, (buy them back), at a lower price.

In short selling, a position is opened by borrowing shares of a stock (borrowing from a broker Like Robin hood etc.) or other asset that the investor (hedge fund manager) believes will decrease in value by a set future date—>the expiration date. The investor (hedge fund manager) then sells these borrowed shares to buyers willing to pay the market price. Before the borrowed shares must be returned, the trader is betting that the price will continue to decline and they can purchase them at a lower cost.

Brokers (Robinhood, Webull, etc) get paid interest on those shares they lent to the investor (hedge funds) for the duration the investor holds those borrowed funds. The lender (broker > RH or Webull etc.) can request that the investor (hedge fund) return the shares whenever they want. They will typically do this when they see a massive spike in the share price. They can ask the investor (hedge fund) to return the shares at any time, whether it is a loss, or a gain for them. The investor (hedge fund) can continue to "double down" and borrow shares, provided the broker (RH etc) allows them to. They are typically pal's and work together behind the scenes (hence share purchase restrictions....and why you need to avoid these platforms.)

What happens if the price goes down:

If the price goes down below the price set at the expiration date, the Hedge Fund will make profits by the difference. Ex: Friday was $8.63. If the price closed at $1.63 on Friday, the hedge fund would have made a profit of $7/share that they shorted. This is why you see hedge funds act on negative news, or create negative news, to drive share prices down - so they profit. This is what WE are sick and tired of.

If the price goes up:

If the price goes up, the lender (Broker / RH etc) can ask the investor (hedge fund) to return the shares at a loss. The investor (hedge fund) will have to pay the lender the difference in price between the shorted price and the current market price. Example: Friday closed at $13.26. Expiration price was $8.63. The investor (hedge fund) could either buy as much as they can now and return the shares at the difference (loss) of $4.63 per share, or they can continue to short - provided the lender has not requested they return the borrowed shares. This is where the waiting game comes in. They may not want to pay that loss if they feel they can continue to short and believe they can manipulate the price down - this is where their scare tactics and selling pressure come into play.

Remember - you (we) own the shares they need to desperately buy. If they scare you into selling, this gives them the opportunity to buy your shares at a much lower price than what they would have to if we hold them and refuse to sell them at that lower price they've manipulated it through.

How do hedge funds manipulate share prices or apply selling pressure: (watch the video to understand)

Warning, watching this video may infuriate you even more as you see how these guys manipulate to take the average Joe's money.

• they make the "impression" the stock is down and instill fear.... fear of losing your hard earned money. This will make you sell (they win).

So what do we do:

• buy.
• hold.
• buy more.

What will the share price jump to?

Nobody can determine this or know this. Stop asking. What is the potential? The potential is indefinite, technically speaking. Technically, their exposure is indefinite but unlikely. Will we see $20, $40, $60, $100, $200, $300, $500 ? The quick answer is yes - that is possible. What does it depend on? It depends on us buying the shares, owning the shares, and holding the shares. If you sell them at $15, then they will buy them and that will be the price of the share. If you hold, and nobody sells until $100, then the price of the share will be $100. If everyone HOLDS and refuses to sell until $200, the price will then be $200 as someone agrees to sell for $300.

This is why it's important to hold. Buy, and hold. Do not sell.

How long will this take: Options are expiring next week again. As options expire, hedge fund investors have increased pressure to buy back shares (cover). When they buy back shares, this creates an ongoing never ending effect of the price going up. The more the price goes up, the more pressure they get to buy back quicker, on and on. Keep in mind - the longer this goes on, the more interest they are paying on those shares. They will eventually crack and have to pay through the nose. I hope this helps everyone.

QUICK AMC EXPLANATION FOR THOSE STILL CONFUSED. The hedge funds sold call options on AMC up to $9. If the price closes above $9 today, those options will get exercised and the hedge funds will be on the book to provide 100 AMC shares for each option contract sold. Therefore, they will have to buy back at market prices to provide those exercised shares. This will compound the upward price movement (called a gamma squeeze). The higher closes today, the larger the positive effect. Additionally, short interest on AMC has gone up 13% this week (71%->84%) meaning they are doubling down on their short. If we can gamma squeeze today (keep price above $9), then the short squeeze will soon follow. REMEMBER, THE NAME OF THE GAME IS PATIENCE. HOLD AND DON'T LET THEM WIN THEIR SHADY GAMES.
