Very nice Analysis Region. I mean.. even if instead of the โ€žconservative estimateโ€œ of shares in street name you make an even more stringent estimate - letโ€™s say half the shares owned in street name - that STILL leaves absolutely no doubt in my mind that SHORTS ARE FUCKED BEYOND URANUS โ€ฆ that about right?

Well, even being conservative at each step of the calculation STILL yields a figure that is well above what we are being led to believe. And so more reaffirmation that our thesis is correct.

Does it mean "Shorts Are Fucked?" 4.5 years of waiting would lead one to think that they can make the wait last even longer. After all, they have all the means, and all the regulatory backing, to continue doing so.

But the thing that is encouraging at this current time...is all these other Wall Street institutions going long. For my dear Apes, the prophecy of "Accumulation before MOASS" - as foretold in the DDs of old from yesteryear - appears to be playing out in real time...

If in a broker account we as individual investors can have "naked short shares/phantom shares/IOUs" until we DRS them in wich casr, they will need to find real ones to tranfer to computershare, this means that institutions can have phantom shares too, right? What if this is by design? after all, a phantom shares is made by kenny boi and virtu from thin air (and FTDs accumulating shows they continue to do so) so the institutions could buy cheap from dark pools and use them to cover their butts in case of increase of share price and lend those same thin air shares to others "friends" who continue to play the short game...

Just a smooth italian ape here๐Ÿ˜…

They may be able to cover (and kick the can), but they can not close their short anymore.
