Sorry, I should have backed up my statement. Apparently, most hedge funds are actually doubling down on their short positions, believing people who are holding will sell. GME is still shorted more than 100%, so it's basically a game of chicken between short and long gamers.

The problem is the shorts have to pay interest, so they need an out ASAP, while the sentiment of the longs is that they will hold indefinitely.

Disclaimer: I'm not a financial advisor, and I don't even have any of the shorted stocks. I'm just following the news.



That’s my understanding too. Although most places don’t have cited data. How do I check how much of a stock is shorted, and what’s their deadline.

I imagine that once the hedge funds are forced to buy, the holders will dump it and they’ll be a sell rally on r/wsb. That will be the bubble burst.

But like anything else, there’s so much vested conflict of interest, it’s hard to know who to trust.
