#AMC #GME Trying to come up with new DD is harder than anything else. There is a ton of information out right now between youtubers, institutions, tiktok, twitch, and the like. The problem, is that good DD takes time. Once you've reported and found something it begs

the question what is coming next. You can either tweet what you see or do some deeper digging. You know me I try to figure out HF next move in order to alert us and continue to stay informed during the process. It's literally the battle of the youtubers rn. lol! I digress...

To those who have been here you know me and you know I try to give as much of a breakdown as possible to those who are new listen up and pay attention. Lets get into this market recap. I said last week at this time that the market was poised to be a crazy week and it did not

disappoint me in that regard. We had a crazy first 3 days followed by a gut wrenching drop followed by what happened to the volume. Why was it crazy? It is worth repeating until this process is complete as I will explain what you seeing around the internet and why. DTCC has put

in force a rule that forces HF to cover the short interest price of the stock plus the volatility price that is set by the DTCC everyday. The price that is set is based on the HF or Institution that has the highest amount of shares on loan followed by how much they think the

price will change. In addition, to those two things we all saw that for days the short interest borrowing rate at increased to 11% and 16%, while the National average remained about 5-6%. Now why does this matter? Every day this week, the amount of shares on loan have dropped

every single day along with the total amount of shares being utilized so if you remember previous Friday March 5th AMC had 111M shares and I was on here telling folks to turn off that loan sharing capability. Now AMC has 89M shares on loan. That's a 22M share drop in one week.

not to mention the free float for AMC dropped by 9.8% we had been sitting at 99.33 now its at 89.5%. How is this possible, with the rule changes shorting the stock with borrowed shares became way too expensive. HF are unable to cover the current spread let alone pay interest.

As I have been saying this is not sustainable. 2) We all know we see it and we all know it's there but I'm going to come out and say it again. The stock is being manipulated two fold. There are two ways we are being

manipulated everyday 1. By information through the media and 2. by actual Market Makers and Informed Investors i.e. institutions. I've been doing a ton of research online and through the resources I have and there is so much disinformation that it is getting hard to tell

the forest from the trees so to speak. We talk about the media and market manipulators all the time as to how they just bury us in either TMI or disinformation. This is done to wear us out emotionally

mentally. Strategies include: countless bot attacks or with just the anger fueled news anchors who hate us on network tv. The other way is by actually manipulating the market. Now I did a little bit more digging and I'll get into my theories later but here is what is going on...

There are three types of manipulators out there both the market makers, HF, and Institutions. Think of the institutions and HF being the informed investor as they have access to the bulk of our information as we buy and sell the stock they know what our transactions look like

before they hit the open mkt. A market manipulator use variety of devices that include employing trading strategies like naked shorting, wash sales, matched trend, and painting the tape, all of which lead to misleading trading

information into the market in the direction the benefits the manipulator. (I think tomorrow I'll post about the types of misinformation that comes into the market so that we all can be made aware). So a manipulator repeatedly buying and selling stocks make a profit because

the purchases have more weight than the sale of the stock. Here is why folks have been trying to get a coordinated buying - price momentum occurs when trades are large enough to move the price and an increase in price at one data point causes an increase in price at

at a later date. Keeping this in mind "remember my dark pool theory tweet" These so called trades are then traded against the price trend to lock in the profit and then sold at a much higher inflated price or they could sell in huge batches (i.e. that dip we saw) to create a

downward price momentum, causing us noise traders who get emotional because of the dip to sell our shares thinking that the stock is about to tank and that there is no floor lol. It is during this time that short sellers recover some of their short position

simply out of fear regarding the false market indicators that are out there. Now here in lies the rub...Market makers follow informed traders i.e. the folks who hold and have all the information but the market makers i.e. citadel and friends

can a) sell on a downtick and b) do not have to make an affirmative determination that they will be able to borrow shares before they sell short. The SEC allows this to happen. This is why we say hold...because the are trying to bait us into selling our shares

so they can cover. Okay well how does this really apply to me. We as a whole have to stop reacting to what they do and the collective must take a minute to truly figure out where the stock is leading. They know we get emotional about these two stocks. Key point is don't sell

unless you have to and don't sell on the downturn. If you do follow the market pattern of when to buy in and when to sell. 3) I've been mentioning a lot in my prior posts about options and it just is mind blowing how much the volatility f these options are basically disappearing

in seconds along with the open interest and volume. I know this is as a result that they covered the position but I have a feeling this is one of the many barrage of strategies being thrown at us. Here is my theory - and I'm trying to prove the pattern...if I get my hands on

lvl 3. data its over for HF - My theory is that HF know we won't sell. As a matter of fact if you look at your order book it's mostly in batches of 100s not very many small trades occur all day everyday. Some do but not as many that roll through the order book as vol. from 100s.

This could be why the free float is starting to get smaller as well. Between us and the DTCC we've made it extremely hard for them to buy back shares on the open market on the downturn because we're all holding stock. Part 2 next...I met my max tweet count.
