“Short Squeeze Potential We cannot allow ourselves to disappoint the short sellers and bears by failing to mention the short squeeze opportunity. If Ryan Cohen successfully negotiates a purchase price with the Board then the shareholders will have to vote on it. Unlike the proxy battle where Hestia and Permit were running a minority slate of directors, an offer to purchase GameStop would force institutions like Vanguard and Blackrock to call in their shares. By doing so, the shorts would be forced to close out their positions and GameStop would finally have the greatest short squeeze of all-time. Ironically, Cohen could use this opportunity to sell all of his shares and use the proceeds to entirely fund the acquisition of GameStop going down as the first person in history to acquire a billion dollar company... for absolutely nothing. In fact, his acquisition price would be less than zero. It will be exciting to see how it all plays out as according to Bloomberg/WSJ there are now 58 million shares short as of 8/31/2020 with only 65 million shares outstanding.”

Edit: Wauw! Ty for the awards. I don’t hope you think it is wasted, when I’m asking this; what are they for? - can I award other apes with them?

Dividends going straight back into more gme shares 🦍🦍

Thank you for posting this. Through my research I have came to the same conclusion.

I literally messaged one of our apes today in hopes that he could clarify this for me. Unfortunately he did not respond to me.

I understand it exactly like you did, there is no such thing as a total share recall. The party that owns and is lending the shares can only recall as many shares as they own.

As well as this, calling for a shareholder vote will only make lenders who wish to 'vote' be obliged to recall their shares.

ONE thing is clear for me, the amount of short interest on this rocket is absolutely bonkers, and it is waiting for something to tick it off. THIS FOR ME IS GUARANTEED, I HAVE NO DOUBTS ABOUT THE MOASS. I was absolutely certain the catalyst was going to be the share recall, until I did more research and arrived to similar conclusions like you. So that leaves me to wonder only what our catalyst could be? A question that i really do not need to know the answer to, but I will ponder on about it because it is fascinating to explore, and update you apes on it if i find any useful answers. REGARDLESS, I AM STRAPPED IN THIS BABY WAITING FOR THE ROCKET TO BREAK ASTRONOMICAL LEVELS. I HAVE NO DATES IN MY MIND, BUT KNOW THAT THE DATA DOES NOT LIE AND IT IS ONLY A QUESTION OF WHEN NOT IF, ITS BEEN LIKE THIS THE MOMENT THEY SHORTED UNBELIEVABLE AMOUNTS OF THE FLOAT.

Look at the data from this source: (Short interest recently 292%!)

Not to mention all the speculative DD that it could be even higher!

JUST HOLD AS LONG AS IT TAKES. SUPER EASY.

THE MATRIX HAS NEVER BEEN CLEARER TO SEE THROUGH.

NONE OF THIS SHOULD BE TAKEN AS FINANCIAL ADVICE. I AM AN APE ON THE INTERNET.

Think a 10-1 stock split would absolutely destroy the shorts. I know I'd buy more instantly.. lmao

Can't comment on the content, I'm as smooth brained as apes come, but it's a very well written bit of DD.

Thanks/dzięki!

"Alright retards, listen up" ALWAYS gets my attention!!

Thank you for clarifying share recalls. Appreciate your wrinkles

written like a lawyer that is accustomed to explaining things to non-lawyers. fucking thank you.

only complaint is you said “bull with me” instead of “ape with me” but it’s a very tiny complaint

This doesnt make sense to me...why would the company who issued the shares in the first place not be able to recall the shares - its like they suddebly have no control of their shares and the lenders have all the power :/?

i wish i could read.

Should teach people how to ensure their shares are promptly returned.

Dzień dobry. Absolutely nothing wrong with your english. It’s better than my polish.

The DD on this in r/stocks says that GME would initiate the share recall (audit) for the Q1 earnings meeting in June. The state of Texas (gme HQ) requires them to announce that decision no less than 60 days before the meeting, which would mean a date in mid April at the latest. Not my info, not financial advice. Do your own research and DD.

I appreciate this post and others like it that put some realistic expectations along with all the confirmation bias. I think it helps to also see the downside, otherwise people will paper hand at the first tiny dip during the rocket.

base on fundamentals and the price staying over a certain amount, will prompt a jump on the share by Review ETF and others, if the shares are recalled ( that will be beneficiary to the share holders ) but it will still have a shadow behind of those hedge funds in the future. but definitely the ship will rocket

Thanks for the link to Tulip Mania (I learned something new). But check out this picture from the wiki with the caption:

A Satire of Tulip Mania by Jan Brueghel the Younger (ca. 1640) depicts speculators as brainless monkeys in contemporary upper-class dress. In a commentary on the economic folly, one monkey urinates on the previously valuable plants, others appear in debtor's court and one is carried to the grave.

This is a sign! Hodl apes.

I think Ryan Cohen is going to make the right play, whatever it is... even if that means do nothing except announce himself as CEO. He knows what’s up. I think the rocket will ignite in due time, when it’s ready... everything must line up perfectly. We just need to be patient, buy and hold.

Sooooooooooooooo Buy & Hold. Gotcha.

I second a one-time special dividend. Stock split also works. Share recall is not forceful enough lol. Please vote this post, so that apes see it, especially since there’s a share recall post in hot right now that isn’t exactly accurate.

USA 🇺🇸

Its a banana count

A little disappointing??? I still hard and ready for round 2 after reading this.

Polish love!! 🇵🇱

I was actually about to say "what about the split?".

When yup you mentioned it.

Good Ape here have a 🍌

Don't they have to figure out who actually would get a special dividend, or if they're doing a split, who get's how many?

They certainly wouldn't just had out dividends to every. single. iou/counterfeit share, right? So how would they go about doing that, if not for a share recall?

Thanks brother ape! I’ve been looking for this and asking about it for weeks with no solid answers. This clarification makes sense now and is great for our community to see.

Ape hodl... ape make new ape friends on rocket to moon...

Great read. Thank you for posting. And thank you 🦍 for the follow up pieces

Is it possible to Dividend and Stock Split?

JAZDA GAMESTOP

Thank you ;-)

could someone with wrinkles please type up a letter to send to our banana brokers

Can you recall shares on Robinhood?

I actually have down syndrome please help

Can they do both dividend and stock split? I don't see why they wouldn't.

I have a share on Webull. Am i safe? Someone told me to turn off share lending. Not sure how this all works with the recall but I was going to also buy a share on merrill edge.

Either you’re wrong or uncle Bruce is wrong (since some of what you’re saying counters what he has said). I’m confused!

He’s an old man tho so maybe the rules have changed.

Bedankt aap, your post is zaje biscie (idk how to spell in Polish lol)

The weekend comes, suddenly lots of "great" DD-s appear like squeeze will not happen, there will be no share recall, wsb want us to help with their "friendly" DD, we lied to ourselves and other drama stuff.

Something is not good here!

HOLD THE LINE APES!

Kurwa!!

Thanks a lot, but let me ask one thing:

You announced the Szenario of a dividend, " ...long whales could use this legitimate reason for momentum and send this shit into the stratosphere."

So, my question is, the stratosphere of which Planet do you mean?

First dd on this? Nothing before.. Idk

I'm not banking on any changes to the current game besides sound business movement by gamestop.

No stock splits, no share counts, no messing with the sharehodlers that will affect the price besides business as usual.

GameStop and AMC merger? Picture it, movie theatre rooms and online gaming rooms + popcorn... might be onto something here 🚀

It's crazy the borrower cant hold this up. IF the company wants to square up the count on their shares and the person fucking it up can slow it down is yet another "glitch" in the system. Just more things that need to be fixed.

Poland St(r)onk 💕

Here my upvote

How was the holiday inn?

You are not a shill for thinking a share recall isn't a silver bullet and I agree with you that it's not as cut and dry as share recall = shorts forced to cover. I do however think that it will put even more pressure on shorts because they are currently struggling to loop their FTDs and a recall would just intensify that pressure maybe even to a point it becomes too much for them. It won't be the silver bullet but I am bullish on the positive effect a share recall would have. Same goes for a special dividends, same goes for a stock split. None of these things are the silver bullet but they most certainly will increase the pressure on the shorts en they are already at their limits. I am very very excited for the weeks to come as we will see the inevitable demise of shorts come closer and closer. 🚀🚀🚀

Only probelm I noticed, and bear with me I was drinking all night. The lead share holder or any Share holder is not needed to recall, split, or divided these things can all be done by the board no share holders needed. I could be wrong.

Who brained question but what if we told our own brokerages to confirm our shares simultaneously. What if we become the catalyst that way?

Please be gentle, I always get a crayon stuck up my nose before it goes in my mouth

Can anyone translate this for me;

"when buying a stock on eToro by opening a “buy” (long), non-leveraged position, this means they are investing in the underlying asset* (real stocks), and the stock is purchased and held in their name.
The eToro trading platform is not an exchange or a market. This means that they can only buy and sell stocks within the eToro trading platform. It is not possible to move open positions out of your eToro account to another broker or to another person. If you open a stock position on eToro, you are not issued a stock issuance certificate or allocated voting rights. Nonetheless, should the company issue dividends, your balance will be updated in accordance with your holdings"

I am UK based/europoor - basically the shares are in my name but they can only be traded on etoro and I have no rights as a shareholder because... why?

I've been holding off on getting out of Robinhood because I was worried about ... the whole process TBH. Is it a safe bet to do at this point? I have a few in Fidelity, a few in TD. I know, I know... GTFO of RH, but what are the possible outcomes of stayin in?

Hey is there a ape from canada that speak french need help here

Thank you for explaining, I'm excited but I'll hold. The day will come and that's all i need to know.
