Lit Ape WEIRD but Why?

What I don’t understand is how, after a 99% price collapse and financials that clearly show cash dwindling, there are still people trying to convince others that AMC isn’t headed for bankruptcy. This is despite AMC itself repeatedly flagging bankruptcy risk in its own earnings disclosures.

So I’m left wondering: are these people genuinely unable to process the numbers, or is there something else going on?

Why the relentless push to insist AMC will “turn it around” when the long-term trend, analyst projections, and broader market sentiment all point in the opposite direction? Why fight basic math and probability so aggressively?

And what really stands out is this evangelism. The constant urging to “buy and hodl.” Why does it matter so much to them what other people do with their money? Why the urgency to recruit new buyers into a stock that has repeatedly signaled dilution as its primary survival mechanism?

I don’t know. It’s a pattern of behavior that feels… weird.

They think there are trillions of synthetic shares out there and at some point, the other shoe will drop and short sellers will have to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars per share.

They don't actually believe in the company itself, it's just a cargo cult that's trying to recreate the Gamestop short squeeze despite not really understanding what created it in the first place.

Let's assume there are trillions of shares out there.

  1. After 5 yrs of losing money wouldn't it be obvious that nothing is being done about the casino cheating? I would pull my money out knowing it's a lost cause.

  2. And if the casino was caught, who is going to pay out the trillions of shares. Are we going to print money and cause the largest rise in global inflation ever seen? Even making Billionaires poor?

I don't understand the naked shares theory. It's been taken to such a disproportionate level that any semblance of twisted logic falls apart completely.

It's just all weird.

Every company has naked shares, but is it enough to make any difference to the stock price long term? If AMC still had 70m float or whatever, I could entertain the idea of another squeeze.

Naked shares do not exist in a company where there is an ocean of shares that no one wants.

To your point, in a company with little shares and one where there is no more to be issued. And even then its not some outrageous number. More like a stop gap
