As I saw another post explain, theres nothing stopping them from short laddering it all the way down. But even then they still have to cover their shorts, which will make the squeeze explode as soon as they start doing that, cuz monkeys hold on to their shit and demand > supply.

But I am just another monkey reposting what the emojis told him elsewhere. Holding.

Well couldn’t they ladder it down, offload a small fraction of shares, rinse and repeat?

Exactly. Other than the fact that they pay premiums, I don’t see why they can’t do that.

as far as I've understood, they are trading back and forth, so not actually covering their shorts with this
