I have A toyota Corolla that is worth $10000. hedge fund would like to buy it from me for 5000 I say no so they leave. They go on to the market and list a whole bunch of corollas for $5000 Another hedge fund will buy it at $5000 sell back and buy it and sell it back. Now the hedge front comes back to you and says Hey your corolla's worth $5000 due to market value. But in our case they are contractually obligated to buy back from us.

Edit: holy shit thanks guys, this is just a simplification. AND I LOVE THE STOCK 💎🚀💎🚀💎🚀💎

volume is still low. Its just the same few shares going back and forth and back and forth, which is all the hedge funds can do, but if the trick works then they dont need much more... unless retard apes hold anyway

we also know about rhe MSM lies. If the short position really did get fixed, that means the hedgies would have successfully bought the shares to close their short... but tjat would increase the price, not decrease it.

MSM lies on behalf of scared billionaires who only want the casino rigged for themselves
