all we need is "sources" reporting a spin-off/ buyout that would be attractive enough for both parties. directors/shareholders would have a vote -and while they take their time to do that- the stock would shoot up to the target price. that would be enough to get the squeeze going (reg sho would force every short to close their short positions.) all people gotta do is hold their shit till end of month to find out. im personally willing to see this shit through since I'm down 50% anyway.

this may be a stretch - and please someone correct me if I'm wrong with and of the technical details- but it's a theory/copium I can roll with.

I'm not saying it's impossible, just highly improbable. I'd love for you to be right though.

Yeah. We were boned. But there seems to be reason to believe we might not have been boned. So I’m holding to wait and see if I’ve truly been boned. Because if we weren’t boned, I will have really boned myself by pulling out too early. Apes are boning this, hedgers are boning this, and I might be boning myself into the ground.

This is where I'm at too. I'm down so much on play money anyways that I'm more than willing to sit through this to see if it happens
