indeed, my friend. which is not good for the long-run economy but is a boon for investors
people like the stonk. that is probably the only valid reasoning lmao
The original 300 price dropped because brokers stopped people's ability to buy it. Then big funds started shorting it from $300 which drove the price way down.
Then when trading got lifted it started going up from $40. Big institutions were shorting at $40.
Then last week there were no longer shares to short since institutions, again, over-shorted
Basically, institutions depressed the price by shorting, ran out of shortable shares, and the price went back up. They aren't learning from their mistakes
We're nowhere near where we were before when it was over 100% shorted, but last I checked it was like 60% which is still very significant.
