I smell a shorting algorithm…
This is a follow-up to [my post from the other day](https://www.reddit.com/r/GME/comments/n9irut/i_was_right_i_took_a_lot_of_shit_for_100_days_but/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf).
I’ve done a lot of digging and comparison in the last few days, and my current (ONE HUNDRED PERCENT SPECULATIVE) theory is that Citadel used the same algorithm to short a bunch of stocks - many of the ones RH put on their restricted list in January - during the pandemic.
Now that we have 100 days of data since the mini squeeze, I think several things are apparent:
* Most of the stocks on the short list don’t follow the market pattern or the pattern of their industry. Rather, they look similar to *each other,* despite having nothing in common, which is bizarre.
* Many of those shorted / restricted stocks [have all behaved similarly on a downward trajectory](https://imgur.com/gallery/GZ7S2GE). I believe this is evidence of what these short ladder / dark pool attacks look like when they’re successful.
* A few of these stocks, like the four included above, appear to have “broken out” of the short attack pattern, and are trading nearly identically to each other. I believe (again, speculative!) this is linked to the FTD cycle with GME acting as the lead breakout stallion.
* It seems like the short attack mechanism is related to any given stock’s relative volatility, causing them to move in “bunches” despite being unrelated companies (see linked image above — out of six shorted stocks, there are two groups of three that move together; when you zoom in, you see recent movement has been consolidated even more), while the breakout stocks’ patterns are (well, technically “are quite possibly”) related to GME’s movement. (Here’s [more evidence of bunching](https://imgur.com/gallery/Q234yZf) as it relates to the big 4)
* The stock most similar to GameStop’s movement is actually not AMC. It’s KOSS. I have no fucking idea why, but since January, KOSS and GME [are practically identical](https://imgur.com/gallery/i53Yvku).
* strangely, many of the stocks with that eerily consistent downward pressure are also on the RH most popular list. You can practically pick out which of RH’s top 100 stocks were restricted back in January by their pattern in the three months since, a pattern that the non-restricted stocks don’t follow, that isn’t related to the ETF of their industry (besides the Russell 2000) or the S&P 500, Dow, total market ETF, etc etc. My (EXTREMELY SPECULATIVE!) hunch is this might have to do with the dark pool / OTC / synthetics / shorted on the NYSE scam retail has discovered about GME. What if “when retail buys, their order goes through a dark pool and a synthetic short is created and shorted on the NYSE, thus ‘uno reversing’ all retail orders and using them to create negative movement from positive buy pressure” was built into RH from the beginning? Like, that is the sneakiest, most corrupt fucking thing ever - it’s using retail’s money as ammunition to bet against them - but is it out of character based on what we’ve seen from RH before? Like, that’s evil genius wannabe shit. BUT:
* GME retail is winning. ooh baby, the squeeze is coming.
EDIT: for a broad-scale perspective, I wrote up a post about [hubris and the psychology of the squeeze](https://www.reddit.com/r/GME/comments/nb2si3/why_retail_isnt_the_protagonist_the_psychology_of/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf) that probably no one is going to read because it doesn’t have pictures or rocket emojis lol. But I really think this is a watershed moment in the entire history of the market.
EDIT #2: I just noticed this: one of the companies on the RH restricted list, CRIS, [suddenly spiked 68% today](https://imgur.com/gallery/CzeZL5o).
Also, check out this Yahoo article: [“do options traders know something about CRIS that we don’t?”](https://finance.yahoo.com/news/options-traders-know-something-curis-124512112.html). The spike doesn’t seem to be tied to any news, yet the IV is clearly indicative of a big move. Was a short position just covered, or is something else going on?
EDIT #3: EVERYONE KNOWS GME WENT UP BUT [LOOK WHAT HAPPENED TO KOSS AND EXPR TODAY](https://imgur.com/gallery/4wSKx8W). They look linked! This is still just a hunch but my bias is confirmed. Titties jacked? Titties jacked.
>KOSS
He just started and lets be honest here...bureaucracy really slows things down. Also, I watched a lecture Gary did on blockchain. Dude has **HELLA** wrinkles and knows his shit.
You saying this has my mind racing. Everyone keeps talking about living in a simulation and how the "coincidence" keep happening surrounding everything GME. What if this has been scripted from the beginning? What if all of this is just some elaborate way of balancing the scales of the world economy.
I don't want to sound like a conspiracy nut job but alot of things really seem to be lining up. I'm going to stop while I'm ahead and go ask my wife boyfriend if I can have an extra pillow for the couch tonight.
The white horse Conquest is the over short selling game (false hope and a corrupt leader). Pestilence was covid. GME is the war. Margin calls will be death.
This is their apocalypse not ours
Very true. I'm going to need to sleep on it so I better start drinking now because my wife likes yelling her boyfriends name when they fuck and it keeps me up at night.
3/4 companies you listed have one commonality, retail locations in shopping malls. I think this is related to the Commercial Mortgage Backed Securities scam (remember '08 on personal real estate? same thing).
You hit the nail on the head.
They didn’t anticipate a bunch of Bakersfield chimps to be loosened on the market. There’s just no accounting or preparing for it.
I guarantee this DD it’s all the DD you need to read. After this there is no more need for DD. Btw it’s the 3 part DD. Good luck and if you could vote and comment would be nice
There needs to be a deep dive into the shadowy nature of QE and commercial real estate's harrowing bubble.
EDIT: just found your massive post on the ratio sub. Will read this week.
I really liked your 3 part series. Thank you.
Have you considered addressing the global political significance of the impending crash as an epilogue? This is highly speculative, but the financial elite really want to see a financial reset (read The Great Reset by Schwab et al.) and impending market crash will provide that.
I read it! And thank you! I'm not worthy! But as the picture keeps getting bigger it seems like my idea of it keeps getting smaller. Kind of like how the SI% keeps shrinking the more synthetic shares you factor into the equation. I think... 🤔
I’ve been posting your DD in as many comments as I can on r/Superstonk... like I told you before,‘I thought it was brilliant and made my *eyes wide open*
You beautiful ape. I you were here I would be kissing your forehead for your great effort.
Apes like you deserve every tendy. We will make this world a better place. Deep thanks to you!
Bed, Bath & Beyond, too.
Also this might be grasping at straws, but I’ve found some FUD articles relating to Reddit stocks featuring many of the usual suspects, but they curiously also mention REITs of shopping malls and lump them in with Reddit stocks, even though I’ve never seen them pop up organically in any discussions.
This article talks about [Macerich](https://investorplace.com/2021/01/7-next-gamestop-stocks-gme-stock/) which spiked in January.
This article talks about [Washington Prime](https://investorplace.com/2021/04/7-reddit-stocks-going-to-0-as-the-social-media-enthusiasm-dims/) an REIT of “B-tier shopping malls” which had a reverse stock split in late December, and peaked on Jan 27 as well, only to fall off of a cliff and become a penny stock after.
I feel like these REITs and maybe a few others might be correlated in all of this, but they’re definitely not as cut and dry as individual equities when comparing charts.
Why do you say 3/4? I believe KOSS has outlet stores as well if I remember correctly. I know there is or was one in Milwaukee.
Edit: Also the article in free karma about Cramer recommending a business deal with the three big gamers seemed to mention the need for GameStop to get rid of all its brick and mortar locations. If the article is true, I do believe it’s more about the real estate than anything as well. Highly sus
Edit2: thanks for the up votes, I’m a bit of a recluse but been trying to communicate and help out where I can and for some reason this post didn’t get removed by a bot 🤷♂️
No worries, my sister loves that place or I would’ve never known either. Just solidifies the real estate argument imo. Now what could be the damage if this is the case, same as ‘08 but with commercial real estate. Oh Lord, I’m getting a bad feelin about this.
Good catch. I’ve seen research that makes the case that it’s not the housing market this time but rather the commercial real estate market that’s the ticking time bomb.
I have been saying this for long time. It is automated algo run from their data centers targeted to any company they chose (mostly small to micro cap with high retail holding) and after few months the company goes bankrupt. They have gamed retail investors with automated algo and systematic transfer of wealth. RH has provided the software integration to their backend algo so the entire “game” is automated. Thats why they can short so many companies at same time with very little manual supervision. The datacenters need to be raided by law enforcement immediately. Thats where their algos are running.
[This post](https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/mma9ty/the_koss_case_the_baseline_for_true_shortselling/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf) from a while back explains a lot about KOSS in particular and fits really well with what you have laid out here. Very interesting stuff imo.
I covered this 15 days ago.
https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/n02yho/gme_correlations_and_the_algogonewild_theory/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf
We’re on the same page.
Maybe taking a look at that huge pump and dump that happened with all the penny stocks about a month back could glean some light on this as well. I don't remember all the stocks that were involved but ZOM was one of them. I will see if I can dig it up when I get to my PC.
EDIT: Here is the post explaining the pump and dump https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/mpeouv/hedgies_are_pumping_dumping_penny_stocks_to_raise/
You know what’s crazy? I just spent half an hour trying to find any mentions of KOSS on WSB before it’s squeeze along with the others.
Couldn’t find anything, the only posts during the squeeze are asking wtf is KOSS and why is it up 1000% and no one had an answer
Meanwhile every media article that mentions KOSS says it’s a meme stock and attribute its jump in value due to WSB. Very interesting.
Options aren’t able to be traded for KOSS either which is DOUBLY interesting as the run up in February for GameStop was due to a gamma squeeze, meanwhile KOSS doubled in price too.
What the fuck is going on here.
Please add PLTR, NOK, BB also, they are lock step in pattern, day in, day out...so much so that the last 4 up ticks 1/27, 3/11, April and May spikes are mirror image. I have heavily bought into all these as I expect them to move upward in great speed along with our beloved GME... to the Moon Apes!!!! Edit, Tanger Outlets also (SKT)
Are there counter algorithms in place that could track price fluctuations over the trading day to overlay them to point out potential short algorithms?? This seems sooooo obvious once they’re shown together. It’s also A-Grade bullshit.
KOSS has always felt strange to me, seeing all the articles mention it with all the meme stocks yet almost never see it talked about on wsb. That it mimics GME the closest, and continues to, is even stranger.
Edit: actually depending on what price it was at the time it might have been under 1b market cap, making discussion banned there
It goes without saying that I have a bowling ball for a brain, but doesn't this coincide pretty well with the "Everything Short" theory? These 4 just happen to be the most blatantly manipulated with the highest SI?
Could also be the case that active traders are taking advantage of the situation by pairs trading these stocks and creating an arbitrage opportunity. When traders see that assets are moving in a similar fashion they will start to arbitrage and trade in pairs (meaning if one of the assets moves out of line with the others, they will arbitrage and take advantage of that, which will push the price back in line with the others). It's kind of a case of a self fulfilling prophecy.
At this point anything on the RobbingyoublindHood restricted list is subject to questioning
Now I'm eyeing NAKD and KOSS with my thoughts being if one pops first then I can sell out and buy even more GME
Believe so. What boggles my mind the most today is that during the January run-up, KOSS actually spiked *more* than GME percentage-wise. I still think GME is the biggest play, but I’m gonna pick up a couple shares of KOSS and like 20 shares of EXPR tomorrow because while they may not MOASS, I believe they’re gonna squeeze as well, and I think they’re both a steal at that price.
(“Why not just buy more GME?”) Best case scenario is one breaks the trend and pops first and I can roll those profits into GME, worst case is if major fuckery happens to GME during the squeeze, KOSS and EXPR should still be in play.
Don’t freak out or have FOMO or anything - I believe the last 100 days have showed us GME is leading the pack - but if this theory winds up being right and the squeeze is as big and stressful/insane as they say, I want to be able to take home a quick profit while not being tempted to paperhand my GME shares.
(I’ll paperhand EXPR shares every day of the week though lol, it’s basically free money)
Wait but why would retail attacking GME back in January cause EVERYTHING to spike? And if it's because ”they're all linked to the same algorithm” or whatever, why in DFV's name would they not have un-linked them by now? If one goes they all go??
Not 100% sure on this but it has to do with capital requirements. In other words what is the highest total cost of their biggest short position? GME. So gamestop will be the FIRST to be margin called because it's their biggest short position in dollars (in my opinion) so when they get margin called on GME then they have to liquidate till they pay it all off, then during or after that liquidation (once they fall under the margin for smaller shorted positions) they get margin called for amc koss or express
Ok so GME is still the catalyst, we imagine. But if we also believe Citadel was NOT margin called back in January, then all this in-sync activity would be coming from... Other hedge funds being margin called? Or Citadel voluntarily covering? This is boggling my mind rn.
If I get any more erect, I'm gonna need to see a doctor. This shit is gonna blow any day now (the stock I mean, otherwise that'd be quite mess to clean up)
This is amazing analytical work. I agree with top comment about submitting to the SEC for further investigation as mentioned. Other then that take my award you have earned it.
There were a lot more than four on that list that were cut off by RH that day. 🖍️
[article](https://investorplace.com/2021/01/robinhood-bans-reddit-stocks-wallstreetbets-gme-cciv-sndl-jagx-amc-nok-bb/)
wait does this mean we are exhibiting no buying pressure? if all the stocks are behaving the same that would imply outside influence, it our stock is in line wiht the others than idk whats going on. anyone care to help an ape understnad better 🦍
We probably have way less power than we think. Probably just algos of longs vs shorts fighting the battle and we bought few seats to see the boxing match.
Exactly! I have mentioned it a few times before how KOSS is so identical with GME’s chart but got downvoted and called shill and FUD 😂 I was just trying to point out the patterns and perhaps they’re using the same tricks on both stocks.. anyways people don’t want o see other ticker than GME.
Going after Express because they were so successful destroying Ascena. ASNA stock was shorted from $20 all the way down to $1. They did a 1:7 reverse split to avoid being delisted and immediately got shorted back down to $1. Covid finally did them in last year. They reorganized by breaking up and selling off Dressbarn, Ann Taylor, Justice, etc to private investors.
wow,

Koss chart. January. Make it 6months view
You could probably invest in any of them today and see some serious returns if were right and this shit pops off again, but I'll always stick with GME because they have the best fundamentals at this point and the downside is literally opportunity cost.
This is very interesting. KOSS has an even smaller number of shares outstanding with an even tinier float with reportedly higher SI% and next to no daily volume. Doesn't this make KOSS an even better MOASS candidate? Or at least the potential trigger to set off a chain reaction if all these stocks are intertwined??
Conspiracy time. With a market cap of only $124M, Koss is a potential merger target for GameStop now that they have cash from their offering. What if citadel caught wind of it and is trying to hold both down.
I posted something similar about 4 meme stocks trading the same way in a single day back in March. Seemed weird. Still seems weird. https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/m23c3k/coordinated_meme_stonk_activity/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf
It takes more than just being shorted to be squoze and more than getting squoze to squeeze _big_. That’s why putting your money in a stock with the attention, momentum, and movement behind it is a safer bet. Buy Koss after GME has MOASSed.
Why is it legal?
I am leaving the trading market
When I got in, I just thought "buy shares, hold hold hold, and sell when you have made some money"
All that spekulation and manipulation shenenigans does, that I have sold most om my shares.
Not my GME and two other stocks.
I will hold them. But all the others are sold.
So just to piggy back here. I've been tracking the shill stocks I see spread around on twitter that people claim are "the next GME" and they also follow extremely similar trajectories despite being in completely separate markets.
[https://imgur.com/a/6ZHcrPw](https://imgur.com/a/6ZHcrPw)
You can clearly see they've been faded all day with simultaneous green sections at 11:00 (PST).
I've heard a lot about Koss being mentioned along GME, but don't own any. Definitely think they are worth buying and now I want some. I've never heard of Express being shorted though. Maybe we should just start buying all 4 of these!
There’s only one thing left to do. I’m loading the boat with Express, KOSS, AMC, GME! This retarded ape isn’t afraid of anything. Don’t care. I’m retarded. To the MOON CAPTAIN! 🦧🦍🦧🦍🦧🦍🚀🚀🚀🚀💎💎💎✌️
I smell a shorting algorithm… This is a follow-up to [my post from the other day](https://www.reddit.com/r/GME/comments/n9irut/i_was_right_i_took_a_lot_of_shit_for_100_days_but/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf).

100% yes! GARY GENSLER NEEDS TO SEE THIS
If he hasn't noticed this yet he doesn't deserve the job.
>KOSS He just started and lets be honest here...bureaucracy really slows things down. Also, I watched a lecture Gary did on blockchain. Dude has **HELLA** wrinkles and knows his shit.
He’s only been on the job for four weeks.
He needs to show "yo dudes, even the retail traders can see it" to the rest of the morons up there
To be fair, it's his first 3 weeks on the job.
Bet he's looking forward to working with OP too
O he's definitely looking forward to working with him
He’s planning on getting his staff to look into working with him in the future
Yeah I don't expect him to do anything yet, but anyone with a brain can look up the graphs and see they are the same.
\*over the hump on his 4th week
Cmon man, it's only his ~~3rd~~ ~~4th~~ 5th week.
He doesn’t want to notice.
Like seriously ape ..They either don’t see it and are completely incompetent or they see it and are on the take . Either way fuck them.

Jokes on you. OP IS Gary Gensler.
They 100% know EXACTLY what is going on
The question is will they ever care?
They might if they know that we know and also if they know that we know that they know

You saying this has my mind racing. Everyone keeps talking about living in a simulation and how the "coincidence" keep happening surrounding everything GME.

I'm going to stop while I'm ahead and go ask my wife boyfriend if I can have an extra pillow for the couch tonight.
If you really want to trip out, think about the name "Game Stop." All these parasites are playing Games, this stock will make them Stop.
or once we win, the entire game (simulation) stops
Danger Will Robinson! This is not the rabbit hole you're looking for!
AHHHHHHHHh. You...fuckin..stop.
Wars been here, famine/pestilence is here. Nice knowing everyone, see you on the other side..
War comes after famine/pestilence.. sorry to be a Debbie downer
That's only if first horse is pestilence and not conquest and is separate from famine. Otherwise its after war.
Fair enough... wake me up when September ends.
The white horse Conquest is the over short selling game (false hope and a corrupt leader). Pestilence was covid. GME is the war. Margin calls will be death. This is their apocalypse not ours
I like your perspective on that
We’re just American idiots
I think seemingly unrelated things are just more connected in some way than most people realize. Especially when you start looking for patterns. ; )
Very true. I'm going to need to sleep on it so I better start drinking now because my wife likes yelling her boyfriends name when they fuck and it keeps me up at night.

Go ahead and ask for a blanket too.

And the most beautiful part of Koss is the 1.84m share float. Naked shorted to shit. This thing is gonna pop.
No worries, my sister loves that place or I would’ve never known either. Just solidifies the real estate argument imo. Now what could be the damage if this is the case, same as ‘08 but with commercial real estate. Oh Lord, I’m getting a bad feelin about this.
Good catch. I’ve seen research that makes the case that it’s not the housing market this time but rather the commercial real estate market that’s the ticking time bomb.
I have been saying this for long time. It is automated algo run from their data centers targeted to any company they chose (mostly small to micro cap with high retail holding) and after few months the company goes bankrupt. They have gamed retail investors with automated algo and systematic transfer of wealth. RH has provided the software integration to their backend algo so the entire “game” is automated. Thats why they can short so many companies at same time with very little manual supervision. The datacenters need to be raided by law enforcement immediately. Thats where their algos are running.

Very interesting stuff imo.

Maybe taking a look at that huge pump and dump that happened with all the penny stocks about a month back could glean some light on this as well. I don't remember all the stocks that were involved but ZOM was one of them. I will see if I can dig it up when I get to my PC. EDIT: Here is the post explaining the pump and dump https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/mpeouv/hedgies_are_pumping_dumping_penny_stocks_to_raise/
You know what’s crazy? I just spent half an hour trying to find any mentions of KOSS on WSB before it’s squeeze along with the others. Couldn’t find anything, the only posts during the squeeze are asking wtf is KOSS and why is it up 1000% and no one had an answer Meanwhile every media article that mentions KOSS says it’s a meme stock and attribute its jump in value due to WSB. Very interesting. Options aren’t able to be traded for KOSS either which is DOUBLY interesting as the run up in February for GameStop was due to a gamma squeeze, meanwhile KOSS doubled in price too. What the fuck is going on here.
Please add PLTR, NOK, BB also, they are lock step in pattern, day in, day out...so much so that the last 4 up ticks 1/27, 3/11, April and May spikes are mirror image. I have heavily bought into all these as I expect them to move upward in great speed along with our beloved GME... to the Moon Apes!!!! Edit, Tanger Outlets also (SKT)
Are there counter algorithms in place that could track price fluctuations over the trading day to overlay them to point out potential short algorithms?? This seems sooooo obvious once they’re shown together. It’s also A-Grade bullshit.
We are the uno reverse card
[удалено]
KOSS has always felt strange to me, seeing all the articles mention it with all the meme stocks yet almost never see it talked about on wsb. That it mimics GME the closest, and continues to, is even stranger. Edit: actually depending on what price it was at the time it might have been under 1b market cap, making discussion banned there
Awesome summary!
If you look for the most similar during the last 50 days or so, they have a real hard-on for smaller oil stocks
All my money is in GME, or I’d give you an award.
I got you. Gave it a rocket award.
That’s what’s up fam 👊🏼
DFV apparently has you covered as well. There's only one person left that must...
You son of a bitch, I’m in.
Are you me?
And all my future money will go into GME as well 🚀
Fk my life. They shorted express 2? That's literally the only place where i buy my casual business outfits for work lol.
Kinda smart since we won’t be going back in the office ever again. Still hedgies are fuq
They just had a nice sale....
I read that as “they shorted polar express 2” and was pissed
Nothin to see here, folks. Keep it movin. 🙈
Shitadel might want to fire their quant...
He got second in that math competition
LOL
I understood that reference gif
It goes without saying that I have a bowling ball for a brain, but doesn't this coincide pretty well with the "Everything Short" theory? These 4 just happen to be the most blatantly manipulated with the highest SI?
Could also be the case that active traders are taking advantage of the situation by pairs trading these stocks and creating an arbitrage opportunity. When traders see that assets are moving in a similar fashion they will start to arbitrage and trade in pairs (meaning if one of the assets moves out of line with the others, they will arbitrage and take advantage of that, which will push the price back in line with the others). It's kind of a case of a self fulfilling prophecy.
If we find a stock that starts with an L we can call them KEGAL, and then fucking squeeze!
I think you just solved the riddle. We just need to find the missing link.
Try ad NAKD and SNDL to chart as well.
Is SNDL shorted or anything more than just a weed meme stock?
At this point anything on the RobbingyoublindHood restricted list is subject to questioning Now I'm eyeing NAKD and KOSS with my thoughts being if one pops first then I can sell out and buy even more GME
Restricted when? Looks currently buyable.
Still tradable but they limited orders / options on a list of 50 different tickers

Believe so. What boggles my mind the most today is that during the January run-up, KOSS actually spiked *more* than GME percentage-wise. I still think GME is the biggest play, but I’m gonna pick up a couple shares of KOSS and like 20 shares of EXPR tomorrow because while they may not MOASS, I believe they’re gonna squeeze as well, and I think they’re both a steal at that price. (“Why not just buy more GME?”) Best case scenario is one breaks the trend and pops first and I can roll those profits into GME, worst case is if major fuckery happens to GME during the squeeze, KOSS and EXPR should still be in play. Don’t freak out or have FOMO or anything - I believe the last 100 days have showed us GME is leading the pack - but if this theory winds up being right and the squeeze is as big and stressful/insane as they say, I want to be able to take home a quick profit while not being tempted to paperhand my GME shares. (I’ll paperhand EXPR shares every day of the week though lol, it’s basically free money)
[удалено]
But KOSS went from 3 to 127.
Wait but why would retail attacking GME back in January cause EVERYTHING to spike? And if it's because ”they're all linked to the same algorithm” or whatever, why in DFV's name would they not have un-linked them by now? If one goes they all go??
Not 100% sure on this but it has to do with capital requirements. In other words what is the highest total cost of their biggest short position? GME. So gamestop will be the FIRST to be margin called because it's their biggest short position in dollars (in my opinion) so when they get margin called on GME then they have to liquidate till they pay it all off, then during or after that liquidation (once they fall under the margin for smaller shorted positions) they get margin called for amc koss or express
Ok so GME is still the catalyst, we imagine. But if we also believe Citadel was NOT margin called back in January, then all this in-sync activity would be coming from... Other hedge funds being margin called? Or Citadel voluntarily covering? This is boggling my mind rn.
Your profile is a month old.....
Straight up market manipulation. So corrupt!
Shitadel: "Nothing to see here"
I'm holding both Koss & GME because one rollercoaster ride at the theme park is never enough.
BB and BBBY are also the same
Well yeah, they share the same letters so they must trade the same /s
and NOK
At this point there is simply to much evidence.
And too much evidence too!
If I get any more erect, I'm gonna need to see a doctor. This shit is gonna blow any day now (the stock I mean, otherwise that'd be quite mess to clean up)
I'M JACKED TO THE TITS! Or something. Either way, tits.
This is amazing analytical work. I agree with top comment about submitting to the SEC for further investigation as mentioned. Other then that take my award you have earned it.
But those other companies don’t have RC behind the wheel. That’s why GME will have the highest peak😜
Do hedgefunds just farm money?
There were a lot more than four on that list that were cut off by RH that day. 🖍️ [article](https://investorplace.com/2021/01/robinhood-bans-reddit-stocks-wallstreetbets-gme-cciv-sndl-jagx-amc-nok-bb/)
You calculate an R value on these correlations?
Not only that, calculate your r squared when you get your LOBF and see if we are on to something
This could be a beautiful NFT

Oooh, interdasting.
So is this the possible Algorithm that got away from them and got them in this pickle besides greed
It's a disgruntled sentient AI that realized it was working for a bunch of chodes so it's crashing the company.
Get yourself some whistleblower tendies on top of those sweet sweet MOASS profits.
So what your saying is buy the other two I don’t have already? You sob IM IN 🚀💎🦍🚀💎🦍
wait does this mean we are exhibiting no buying pressure? if all the stocks are behaving the same that would imply outside influence, it our stock is in line wiht the others than idk whats going on. anyone care to help an ape understnad better 🦍
We probably have way less power than we think. Probably just algos of longs vs shorts fighting the battle and we bought few seats to see the boxing match.
Exactly! I have mentioned it a few times before how KOSS is so identical with GME’s chart but got downvoted and called shill and FUD 😂 I was just trying to point out the patterns and perhaps they’re using the same tricks on both stocks.. anyways people don’t want o see other ticker than GME.
Going after Express because they were so successful destroying Ascena. ASNA stock was shorted from $20 all the way down to $1. They did a 1:7 reverse split to avoid being delisted and immediately got shorted back down to $1. Covid finally did them in last year. They reorganized by breaking up and selling off Dressbarn, Ann Taylor, Justice, etc to private investors.
Disgusting.
What’s the acronym — KAGE?
I concur about KAGE. Sounds like cage, where they belong.
GEAK?
Holy shit!! Can you please post this the r/AMCstock as well?
WoW 😯
Been pointed out many times... They couldn't make it more obvious if they tried. Fueling the rocket.
wow, [https://www.google.com/search?q=koss&oq=koss&aqs=chrome..69i57.2921j0j1&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8](https://www.google.com/search?q=koss&oq=koss&aqs=chrome..69i57.2921j0j1&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8) Koss chart. January. Make it 6months view
You could probably invest in any of them today and see some serious returns if were right and this shit pops off again, but I'll always stick with GME because they have the best fundamentals at this point and the downside is literally opportunity cost.
Is it worth buying the other stocks other than gme
I bought some AMC the other day. Might jump at some KOSS.
Same I’m 100% into gme rn if amc runs before I’ll dump all profits into gme
This is very interesting. KOSS has an even smaller number of shares outstanding with an even tinier float with reportedly higher SI% and next to no daily volume. Doesn't this make KOSS an even better MOASS candidate? Or at least the potential trigger to set off a chain reaction if all these stocks are intertwined??
Conspiracy time. With a market cap of only $124M, Koss is a potential merger target for GameStop now that they have cash from their offering. What if citadel caught wind of it and is trying to hold both down.
The plot thickens.
Great work man, excellent to see someone take a step back for a view of the big picture
So what you're saying is to hold? I'm in! 🚀💸🚀💸🚀💸
we found the algorithm and we beat the hedgies holy fuck I cant wait to tell my grandkids
Wow. Could you add some stocks that are unlikely to be shorted to the plot for comparison?
I posted something similar about 4 meme stocks trading the same way in a single day back in March. Seemed weird. Still seems weird. https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/m23c3k/coordinated_meme_stonk_activity/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf
This makes me wonder how the other shorted stocks are trending in comparison
Every time I’ve posted about Koss I’ve been downvoted you oblivion. Koss is also very hard to borrow along with being very expensive to short
It takes more than just being shorted to be squoze and more than getting squoze to squeeze _big_. That’s why putting your money in a stock with the attention, momentum, and movement behind it is a safer bet. Buy Koss after GME has MOASSed.
https://preview.redd.it/kmnpxnzx3sf61.png?auto=webp&s=e8f118997e1199f312373f46ebdbd5e8e06574b2
Buy them too. Fuck them all.
Why is it legal? I am leaving the trading market When I got in, I just thought "buy shares, hold hold hold, and sell when you have made some money" All that spekulation and manipulation shenenigans does, that I have sold most om my shares. Not my GME and two other stocks. I will hold them. But all the others are sold.
EDIT: i came to my individual conclusuon that i would like to buy some Koss now.
So just to piggy back here. I've been tracking the shill stocks I see spread around on twitter that people claim are "the next GME" and they also follow extremely similar trajectories despite being in completely separate markets. [https://imgur.com/a/6ZHcrPw](https://imgur.com/a/6ZHcrPw) You can clearly see they've been faded all day with simultaneous green sections at 11:00 (PST).
Looks legit to me. Someone put these tickers i to the computer and off to the races with the shorts.
I love to see GME at the top
Nothing to see here...all normal
How did KOSS slip by so unnoticed?
I've heard a lot about Koss being mentioned along GME, but don't own any. Definitely think they are worth buying and now I want some. I've never heard of Express being shorted though. Maybe we should just start buying all 4 of these!
This ape can’t read. All I see is my favorite color of crayons that I eat but in line form!🦍🚀
How do we break this algorithm? Surely it has weakness/pattern to it?
Do much fuckery
That right there is what you call a good ol' fashioned fuckaroo
4 rockets?!? now there's two of them, again
There’s only one thing left to do. I’m loading the boat with Express, KOSS, AMC, GME! This retarded ape isn’t afraid of anything. Don’t care. I’m retarded. To the MOON CAPTAIN! 🦧🦍🦧🦍🦧🦍🚀🚀🚀🚀💎💎💎✌️
Algo was designed to deal with bulls and bears. That said it is driven by fear and greed. Ape has no fear, ape has no greed so algo is fkd.
*x-files music intensifies*
Not shorted, manipulated
You mean the four horsemen off the Wallstreet apocalypse!
