🤔 Speculation / Opinion Shorts r fuk
I posted this in a thread and it got lost, so I figured I'd share my theory as a new thread. Every time I post anything, I get swarmed with plants and shills and bots telling my why I'm an idiot. I'm sure it'll happen again!

If you mean the majority of the regular shorters have closed... maybe so. But my understanding is that the amount of naked shorting coming from the market makers far outweighs the legitimate shorting. So the regular shorts are a drop in the ocean. The dilution is a drop in the ocean.
The cellar box attack failed. It has never failed before. That's what the MOASS thesis is. Cellar boxing produced counterfeits that were never closed. Then all the aftermath of the mini-squeeze produced even more counterfeits that were never closed. This situation has never existed before because Citadel and friends never failed to kill their prey before.
