Shoot! That happens every night. I walk in the bedroom hot and ready to go with a glow stick. She rolls over and says "Cut out that light - I'm trying to sleep!"

Celebrating others losses makes you an *******.
It went from $8 to $16, Zack isn't the one losing on this one.
I'm not celebrating others' losses. I hate the fact that people buy on his plays late and get squashed. I don't like pumpers and he is a prime pumper. Tell me, do you think a Bitcoin chat company is worthwhile? Or CEI which two years ago pretended to be a Permian driller and has reverse split a thousand times is worthwhile? Now all of a sudden it's a carbon capture company…
All ZM does is pump and most people get hurt because of it. Im not celebrating that at all, and I've been pretty vocal about my disdain for that type of fintwit personality.

Up 48% on these so far and she's on fire!
My thoughts on the topic:NRD09 said:
I think shorting should be illegal. Borrowing shares from someone (unbeknownst to them) for the purpose of dumping them on the market to drive the price down sounds like the definition of manipulation. Am i a moron?
Usually firms only can loan out shares to be shorted for purchases made on margin. If you could mobilize everyone to move their purchases into a cash account, thus fully paid for, it would generate a hell of a squeeze. That's what the rules were many moons ago when I was in the industry and not sure if it's still the same. If you buy a stock on margin, then technically you don't have full control of it, thus permitting the MM to loan them out and make interest on both sides of that trade.NRD09 said:

Big short sellers compound their gains with options in addition to shorting the stock. Look back in this thread when SAVA was trading around $120+ going into a big announcement. Someone sold a big block of 100c and collected a huge premium. I believe that was the main short that's been crushing the stock. He probably was buying puts at the same time. He then shorted the stock, thus banking the call premium and his puts exploded in value in addition to the short value with the fall of the stock. He should burn in the 7th realm of hell and have demons rip his balls off for eternity, but that's just my opinion.NRD09 said:
Apparently I'm a moron.
Didn't know the margin part, that's interesting. There are several options strategies to make money on a declining stock price without shorting though.

I've heard that before (mostly on twits: "put a high sell order so they can't lend your shares!") and I've heard it refuted. Would be interesting to know the truth. I have a buddy who's brokerage (don't know which) requests permission (and pays interest) for them to lend out his shares, but I've never gotten such an offer.
If you have a sell order on your shares you can't sell covered calls against them, can you?
Fidelity does it through their "Fully Paid Lending" program.. the only position I have eligible for it is WWR and they're offering 2.875%

Just looked back at this... I am firmly in the bottom 0.1% of savvy traders on this forum - but is another way brokers control exposure to squeeze plays?
None of these are new positions for me (and most are relatively small net free positions from earlier in the year). None of them were on the list of available to lend when I made the prior post. Rate for WWR went up and others showed up:
- "* The lending interest rate is based on the relative value of the loaned security, which is determined by several factors including borrowing demand and short selling, and general market conditions."
Since most are net free that I am sitting tight with, why would I not participate?

..misinformed at best.
If you buy your shares in a margin account then you have zero say on the firm loaning those shares out for shorts.TChaney said:I'm even lower on the savvy scale... probably the .01%.cjo03 said:cjo03 said:NRD09 said:

Someone else can correct me if I'm wrong.
But loaning your shares benefits someone that is trying to bring the price of the stock down.
That seems to me like you are fighting a war. The other guys are running low on ammo. They promise to pay you back 3 rounds for every 100 you lend them, of course they will still owe you the 100 rounds as well at some later date.
You better be sure you can win the war when it is all said and done but why take the risk?

I know doc and if you don't know by now, I love to laugh and mess with people. It's all in good fun. This is my favorite board/thread that I visit the most. We're all happy you're with us and I hope the Bears skull **** the horns in a few weeks.BaylorSpineGuy said:
You guys are awesome! We all cause the tide to rise. You guys help me more than the other way around.
If I don't have my son that Saturday then I might make the short drive to Waco to cheer for the Bears against sip.BaylorSpineGuy said:
I loved and hated playing you guys. You always had our number. I was at the 35-34 game in 2004. Nearly the only redeeming aspect of Guy Morriss's tenure sadly. The next year OT game in CS was equally a great game (16-13 and Courtney Lewis had a TD in overtime to our FG). Was there for that as well. You guys have an amazing game day atmosphere.
You all should check out our new stadium tho. It's pretty awesome too. One of my friends has a sail gate slip and a party boat he keeps there. Good tailgating scene in Waco on game day now.

What timeframe are you considering selling puts? I like the play depending on the timeframe. If the supply chain issues get resolved like the vegetable spoke about today are true, then selling puts on CHWY looks like free money to me.
