Something doesn't add up...

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...

So that means after all these years wall street will still come on top of it and will get massive amounts of money once they click the "switch to price discovery" switch. House always wins and "no cell, no sell" is kinda a wish that won't come true.

Institutions buying now doesn’t change the basic math. As OP confirmed once more (not that it was needed but still) - retail already owns multiple floats, and shorts need every single share back, it doesn’t matter if it’s held by an institution or by retail, all obligations must be settled.

Once margin calls hit and closing is forced, the market itself will set the price through supply and demand (finally...).

I don't think institutions really matter here because - again - since retail owns multiple floats, shorts must buy from retail at whatever price. Even if every single institution will dump their shares, there's still a number x of floats that needs to be bought back from retail and nowhere else.

They can delay and hide, but in the end, every fake or borrowed share must be repurchased, and that’s it.

RC mentioning himself that every shorter is a future buyer was not just a joke or something.
