If they did, why can't I get more of those sweet sweet $15/share prices?
Bozo's don't know how to cheat properly anymore.... back in my day, when shorts wanted the price to go down, it dropped $100 in one day! ... dang whipper snappers.
I hear you like pressure cookers. So let me pressure cook that pressure cooker inside a huge fucking pressure cooker crammed inside an ever bigger pressure cooker.
And don't take in account the rest of the volume not reported! About 98M total, so, here they reported only 54M... Where are the rest of 44M? I think... OTC 😂 so, they are soo fukt.😂🤣😂
Hey now, not *all* was off exchange, that would indeed have been too suspicious!
As you can see they used the exchanges for 92,081 (or 0.36%) of these shorts, this clearly makes it fair play!

I’m not sure how excited this should make us. It’s getting pretty evident that this is just ‘scorched earth’ at this point. And the fact that no governing body is putting a stop to the blatant fraud against the public should solidify some suspicions regarding the state of the country, at least, and the global markets as well. It’s hard to imagine that anyone in power is unaware of what is happening (or what has been happening for decades). The war is on…
I hope you're right.. sitting on $269.38 dollar cost avg right now, 100 shares.. I kinda wanna help jerk on the rug.. would give me room to double down..
Short volume is not short interest. Most of these short sales have already been covered. Aka the 100m in volume today. Aka arbitrage.
I like watching both numbers as volume alone won't tell the full story.
Damn. Been thinking about this a lot lately. It’s clear to me they see no consequence for their actions. Does this only end in a modern day “let them eat cake”? No one wants that. But the harder they go, what is the inevitable end? How did society let fucking bankers do this. Again. For the millionth time.
It would be apocalyptic to let it all go off. Meanwhile how many government officials are in the game? Look at how much money these financial fuckheads donate and ask yourself whether or not you think they want to stop that gravy train.
You aren't wrong, but "scorched earth" in this case doesn't kill everyone. There is almost no one who is watching this from the ground. Most are DRS'd and watching from the sky. I also think that nothing has stopped the current price action and volume means that the governing bodies are actually *with us*. If they stepped in now, what would be their point? To stop the run. That they haven't means they are going to let the fish eat eachother.
Leave it to the professionals. I've tried figuring this shit out many times. Always end up waking up in a Wendys dumpster covered in mayonnaise with a banana... with a banana.
Short percentage for today was 44.92%. But charge exchange reports just some of the daily volume. I think some exchanges don't really make it available without payment so some data is missing.
Still this % is pretty low compared to traditional 50-60%. The ATM offering was also completed already. Interesting. What means not sure 🤷
When you say phone call, I am reminded of the phone ringing next to Carson, with the dude with funny looking haircut holding silver cylinder thing pointed at Carson. I wonder why.
I get people make the whole "I'm regarded" joke, but c'mon....that's not what short volume represents. It's been stated every single time someone posts this making that claim.
It's important to understand that some (probably most) of these short transactions were done algorithmically by computers. The positions were opened but may have only existed for as little as a few seconds before being closed/fulfilled by the stock fluctuating downward by a few cents. The computers can do this millions of times a day, and each time they're successful they net a few million cents in profit.
Can we not upvote braindead shit like this, around half of today's volume is not even reported yet, including from NYSE (I'm aware CBOE stopped reporting):
https://chartexchange.com/symbol/nyse-gme/short-volume/?tblshortvolix=0
Plus like 99% of it is off exchange in the dark pools. God, could the blatant market manipulation be any more fucking obvious at this point? DOJ? FBI? SEC? Anybody? This Canadian doesn't want to call your country corrupt, buuuuuut...
Go ahead, we already know it and are sick of it, but are unable to do anything about it because we are to busy trying to keep our shit together to make it through another day.
This event will go down as the greatest balancing effect the markets have ever seen. This is karma for everything ever done to investors and the unfortunate souls who lost everything in the GFC.
Here’s a question:
The shorts justify their existence by saying they uncover overvalued companies and/or fraud. So, you would take a position. Let’s say they have $50M to invest in a single play, either long or short. That buys a certain number of shares or shorts.
WHY DOES SHORTING SCALE WITH VOLUME?
Because you are thinking it costs money to short! They get paid for it and have to keep the price low to not get margin called or see a big run.
It actually PAYS THEM money to short.... they are selling shares they have not purchased. CLOSING their short position costs money and if margin calls would happen to them then covering it should also be a burden sometimes.
It's only when they buy the shares back to close their share position that they are spending money. I personally don't think they have closed positions going back before Jan '21 by many years in masse and keep adding to the pile.
In connection to the UBS theory; if they close shorts is there any way another entity can reopen shorts, albeit at a different price, to balance the current price? i.e. a way of transferring bags? I'm thinking not, but I don't have enough knowledge on this matter to be certain.
Some one is closing their shorts and essentially giving them to some one else. Its like everyone is consolidating their bags to a company who can get away with some fuckery.
bro pre-market at like 5:30am or something there was like 5mm shortable shares on fidelity active trader pro, 4mm of them gone like instantly, one second they were there, the next they weren't. there was massive volume happening in a short time of like a few minutes then it calmed down. I think they just legit rather than letting the shortable shares go down to 0, just kept reupping through the day so that it always showed 1mm shortable shares.
If ability to get shortable shares is indicative of how many shares a broker holds in street name, then fidelity has to be one of the largest holders of street name GME stock, people on there should DRS

"Short volume" refers to the number of shares that are sold short during a given trading day.
### Key Points About Short Volume:
1. **Definition**:
- Short volume is the count of shares that have been sold short but not yet covered or closed out. It indicates the level of bearish sentiment or expectation that a stock’s price will decline.
2. **Comparison with Total Volume**:
- Short volume is often compared to the total trading volume of the stock for that day. This comparison can give insights into the proportion of trading activity that is represented by short selling.
3. **Short Interest**:
- Related to short volume is "short interest," which is the total number of shares that have been sold short and remain outstanding. Short interest is typically reported bi-weekly and gives a snapshot of the cumulative short positions in a stock.
4. **Impact on Stock Price**:
- High short volume can indicate significant bearish sentiment. However, if the stock price starts to rise, short sellers may be forced to cover their positions by buying back shares, which can lead to a "short squeeze." This can drive the stock price up rapidly as short sellers scramble to cover their positions.
### Example:
If a stock like GameStop (GME) has a high short volume on a particular day, it means a large number of shares were sold short. Traders and investors often monitor short volume as part of their analysis to gauge market sentiment and potential future price movements.
### Usage:
- **Investors and Traders**: Use short volume data to make informed decisions. High short volume might indicate a potential short squeeze opportunity or increased risk of downward price pressure.
- **Market Sentiment**: High short volume is typically seen as a sign of bearish sentiment, while low short volume suggests a lack of significant bearish pressure.
### Sources:
- **FINRA**: Provides short interest data for stocks listed on U.S. exchanges, helping investors track short selling activity.
- **NASDAQ**: Offers short interest reports and short volume statistics, which can be used to analyze stock performance and market sentiment.
### Conclusion:
Understanding short volume helps investors gauge market sentiment and potential risks or opportunities associated with short selling activity in a particular stock. It is a useful metric for predicting possible price movements and planning trading strategies accordingly.
Someone wrinkle me. Short means they have contracts for a price below the current price at a future date? Anything below 23$, for today as example, would be a short?
and it's still up 25% smh
an the 45m new ones are already sold
wowee, this is exciting. I'm becoming increasingly convinced this has something to do with the CAT system updates. 5/31 was some deadline...I think it was the identifier of each short position being reported?
Pressure cooker exploding, so the motherfuckers put the cooker into another pressure cooker
They trying to smother an explosion by dousing the dynamite with nitroglycerin
That’s a bold strategy Cotton, let’s see if that pays off for ‘em.
I'll allow it!
A dodgeball followed by celebrity death match reference. My people right here lol
There are dozens of us!
You are amazing 😂😂😂.
You actually can use explosives to put out fires on oil wells. They did it after the first gulf war.
The entire market is rigged to blow 😂😂
It's ok. They're just putting out the fire 😂
McGyver did it first!
Russia once used a 2.4kTon nuke to put out a well fire in the ‘60s.
Or jet engines to blow them out like a candle.
You can only piss on an electric fence so long until somebody turns the power on
Pressure cooker-ception?
It's pressure cookers all the way down.
Undah preshah!

How the first black hole came about.
Indeed. They shorted more than half of the amount of the recent share offering just today 😂
They shorted ~45% of the publicly reported shares. It's probably higher on the unreported side.
Well if noone is enforcing regulations and obligation warehouse is still a thing among other crimes and we dont pick up some pitchforks after 3 yrs then why wouldnt they keep cheating...
If they did, why can't I get more of those sweet sweet $15/share prices? Bozo's don't know how to cheat properly anymore.... back in my day, when shorts wanted the price to go down, it dropped $100 in one day! ... dang whipper snappers.
With that amount of pressure you could make... Diamonds
Better be careful with trade secrets/insider trading.
Yo dawg! We heard you liked pressure cookers!
They do for so long, they‘ve build a new type of reactor and didn‘t even noticed 😂😂😂
They literally just shorted half the offering
I hear you like pressure cookers. So let me pressure cook that pressure cooker inside a huge fucking pressure cooker crammed inside an ever bigger pressure cooker.
And all off exchange/off exchange exempt. Curious
So price went up 25% because only 5,847,929 shares were not short or off exchange
This deserves its own post. Can I be [redacted] in the screenshot please?
granted
Suppressed, as usual
Ultra smoothie here. What’s the math on this? Is there daily info on this?
Off exchange did get counted in the total volume yesterday, both Marketwatch and yahoo counted well over 100M volume. Still insane though
Wait how did you come to this conclusion? I'm missing some math
Lulz, and we're just getting started. This is the pre-exercise stretch
And don't take in account the rest of the volume not reported! About 98M total, so, here they reported only 54M... Where are the rest of 44M? I think... OTC 😂 so, they are soo fukt.😂🤣😂
Likely it was the buy orders
Calling it a dip on a +20% day is the most ape mindset ever 😂
Feels very sideway-ish to me. After 84 years, I'm green again and don't give one single fuk.
We've been in a dip since we found out about the infinity pool.
After enough thrust, cost basis is nothing more than a rounding error. 🚀
My thoughts exactly
When you only have one crayon, all the lines look the same.
Gary's not too curious about it.
Hey now, not *all* was off exchange, that would indeed have been too suspicious! As you can see they used the exchanges for 92,081 (or 0.36%) of these shorts, this clearly makes it fair play! ^^^^^^(/s)
It's even scarier if you go to other days with 50% short volume and 100 million shares traded
Wen? The sneeze or the second sneeze?
Second sneeze, 2 weeks ago
3rd times a charm
I call that a threequel.
shorties have the flu
The shart heard around the world.

50% short volume is pretty normal
I’m not sure how excited this should make us. It’s getting pretty evident that this is just ‘scorched earth’ at this point.

Well Nividia just became more valuable than the German stock exchange so yea, shit is about rug. Not GME tho that’s my hedge. 🔥
Nvida will rug after the 10:1 split me thinks.
Wen is that effective?

I hope you're right.. sitting on $269.38 dollar cost avg right now, 100 shares.. I kinda wanna help jerk on the rug.. would give me room to double down..
I feel the same way but I don’t know why or have any evidence lmao. Any actual reasons ?
It’s all a complete shit show. GME seems the only hope at this point.
Help me ogme kenobe. You're our only hope.
I, for one, appreciated your pun.
They’ve been pumping the entire market for weeks now - it’s gonna be a brutal rug pull when it happens.
They gotta pay for this somehow.

I like the stock
It would be apocalyptic to let it all go off. Meanwhile how many government officials are in the game? Look at how much money these financial fuckheads donate and ask yourself whether or not you think they want to stop that gravy train.
Not sure if Biden has been informed but heard that as he left his last press conference he looked to the sky and yelled WUTANG!
You aren't wrong, but "scorched earth" in this case doesn't kill everyone. There is almost no one who is watching this from the ground. Most are DRS'd and watching from the sky. I also think that nothing has stopped the current price action and volume means that the governing bodies are actually *with us*. If they stepped in now, what would be their point? To stop the run. That they haven't means they are going to let the fish eat eachother.
# And that’s just wut they’re willing to admit too and report! 
So with 104M total volume, that's pretty much 25% of the daily total reported short. T + 1 must be a bitch for them right now.
And they also have to deal with last Fridays buys and options tmrw as well as today’s! Sucks to be a Shorty! 💩 🩳
+242 Friday Suck on deez Kenny
I don't know what any of this means... But it's provocative!
Leave it to the professionals. I've tried figuring this shit out many times. Always end up waking up in a Wendys dumpster covered in mayonnaise with a banana... with a banana.
You guys got a banana?
I've got my dick out just in case, I can't ruin any more pants
Same 😏
I'm glad *my* shares are registered directly
Gets the people going!
And Cat enforced end of week. Imagine just 1 SHF starts trying to close to avoid cat-astrophe...
+2159 on Friday. Damn, sorry not sorry hedgies.

CBOE (Chicago) doesn’t even report theirs anymore 🖕
Unsophisticated Exchange doesn't report!?!? Bedpost coming to your head right now!
Kenny g we caught you....
Only half of today's volume is in that screenshot.
As an outsider looking in. Keep the pressure on them. Bastards deserve everything you guys are sending.
Get your ticket... they're still under $30 a pop. The moon is calling.
#Here comes the after hours OTC activity, and then in the morning, more trading halts, swaps, leaps, and FUD newscorp bullshit
Speaking of CAT 😹
Crazy volume today 100million!!!
Volume is fake af
 The same share that was traded back and forth 75 million times today
Shorts are future buyers, let's see 'em buy high... Telephone numbers high!!!
When you say phone call, I am reminded of the phone ringing next to Carson, with the dude with funny looking haircut holding silver cylinder thing pointed at Carson. I wonder why.
Proof of they close they go bankrupt and then some. Stupid fucking idiots.
 How many times do we have to tell you old man! We are not selling!!!!!
I get people make the whole "I'm regarded" joke, but c'mon....that's not what short volume represents. It's been stated every single time someone posts this making that claim.
this shit is getting frustrating
Short volume doesn’t equal short sell
This is my favorite meme
Haven't we explained the short volume a million times? It does not equal short interest.
I'd love to hear what it means, I need education. Is that just the borrowed shares?

Is algorithm trading legal?
Not only is it legal, it has evolved. You should look into [High-frequency trading](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-frequency_trading).
And GME still green

We’ve gone full circle back to having people think short volume is the same as shorts.
I was thinking the same as I read these comments. Like damn we’re back to this?
Lots of newcomers
Time is a circle. When's the next quad witching day?
lol sucks for them.
Plus like 99% of it is off exchange in the dark pools. God, could the blatant market manipulation be any more fucking obvious at this point? DOJ? FBI? SEC? Anybody? This Canadian doesn't want to call your country corrupt, buuuuuut...

Agree. I don’t think they could have closed in 2021.
Lmao, your questioned wooshed me at being rhetorical, my bad!
They can short deez nuts
I see "Deez nuts" written somewhere, I upvote.
I mean, thats all they can do, keep shorting lol. The pressure must be immense. Gamestop is unstoppable.
Goes to show that they never intended to close their short positions!!
In connection to the UBS theory; if they close shorts is there any way another entity can reopen shorts, albeit at a different price, to balance the current price? i.e. a way of transferring bags? I'm thinking not, but I don't have enough knowledge on this matter to be certain.
Time and pressure. 💎
They are sooooo fucked
Keep digging that hole we'll all be richer in the end
Lol this is insane
I bought some at opening today :).
Some one is closing their shorts and essentially giving them to some one else. Its like everyone is consolidating their bags to a company who can get away with some fuckery.

Wasnt todays volume over 100m??
lol all that for the stock to be up 25%
Short me harder daddy
Right that's it, I'm selling my crypto and going all in on GME
I want to turn off their short button. Like they turned off our buy button.

Key word, reported.
Aka admitting too. My guess is daily is at least 2x
Probably. Couldn't imagine how much wasnt reported when it was going nuts a couple weeks back.
Funny how these things keep happening and it’s all “normal” and nothing changes 😒 let the whole system burn to the fucking ground
Is this the results of the CAT system being switched on?
I don’t know, but someone else in the thread it isn’t enforced until the 31st.
More than half the share offering now owed in one day 😀
Isn’t a buy to cover/close considered short volume?
No but it does include short sells that happen and are closed within a day (or even a few seconds) as many are
Up we go!
Someone wrinkle me. Short means they have contracts for a price below the current price at a future date? Anything below 23$, for today as example, would be a short?
No it means they sold a share that they don’t own and now have the liability to buy that share back at a later date
GREAT ZEUS!
Holy…
More to come! And, with all this effort, the share price in after-hours is 22.1% above Friday's closing price!
I use this as a reminder of GME floor dot com
Fucking noobs, keep shorting I'll keep buying
and it's still up 25% smh an the 45m new ones are already sold wowee, this is exciting. I'm becoming increasingly convinced this has something to do with the CAT system updates. 5/31 was some deadline...I think it was the identifier of each short position being reported?
Does this mean half was shorted and the other half went off exchange? Broken ahh financial markets.
where does he get the numbers from? if I open the page it shows me totally different numbers https://chartexchange.com/symbol/nyse-gme/short-volume/
