10 Editing Mistakes Small Channels Don’t Know They’re Making
- 00:00:00good morning everybody it's Saturday we
- 00:00:02made it to the weekend I hope you had a
- 00:00:04good week GameStop ended in the green
- 00:00:07which is exciting we're going to talk a
- 00:00:08bit about GameStop going to talk about
- 00:00:10some Pokemon and some different things
- 00:00:11as usual so uh made this meme uh I don't
- 00:00:15know what it's supposed to mean but it I
- 00:00:17thought it'd be funny and then uh I got
- 00:00:19another package from Gamestop
- 00:00:21so I don't remember what's in this one
- 00:00:24so going to open it and see what's
- 00:00:26happening here
- 00:00:30let's
- 00:00:33see and if um you don't like unboxing
- 00:00:36videos you know they don't happen all
- 00:00:38that often lately GameStop's got to buy
- 00:00:42to get one free deal going on so been
- 00:00:47doing a lot of that so this won't be
- 00:00:50like regular content probably on the
- 00:00:53channel okay so in this box we got a
- 00:00:58bunch of random boosters
- 00:01:00because they it worked out pretty well
- 00:01:02to do buy two get one free with the
- 00:01:03boosters and then you always need card
- 00:01:05sleeves so got a bunch of the sleeves
- 00:01:08and what's nice about mixing up the
- 00:01:09sleeves and the boosters is they're
- 00:01:12about the same price so I find with the
- 00:01:15the buy two get one free kind of deals
- 00:01:18um that's what the box is it's full of
- 00:01:20boosters and sleeves so I don't I think
- 00:01:22it was like nine packs of paldan Fates
- 00:01:25and then nine packs of the sleeves um
- 00:01:30little bit OCD on sleeving the cards
- 00:01:32because you never want to have like you
- 00:01:34can't have a card that's not sleeved
- 00:01:35what if it gets damaged right so um with
- 00:01:39the buy two get one free deal going on
- 00:01:40right now I have to say again incredible
- 00:01:42deal you can't beat it on the
- 00:01:44Collectibles you could even do other
- 00:01:45things you don't have to do Pokemon
- 00:01:47cards or trading cards but you could uh
- 00:01:49get uh squish Mellows for kids I think
- 00:01:52all kinds of different things let me
- 00:01:54just look it up
- 00:01:56GameStop um find some oh and then I I
- 00:02:01always hesitate to even look but I I'm
- 00:02:03here
- 00:02:05so can't help my if I'm here I'm going
- 00:02:08to look are there any PSA graded look at
- 00:02:10this guy oh he's a 1997 I'm just going
- 00:02:13to say I already ordered him hopefully
- 00:02:14he's on the way let's
- 00:02:18see waiting what waiting for product
- 00:02:21availability he's right
- 00:02:23there all right well hopefully he comes
- 00:02:27um look at him he looks amazing Pikachu
- 00:02:32someone's gonna probably try to buy him
- 00:02:34now um but uh if you look
- 00:02:39at uh I don't know when I became
- 00:02:43addicted to Pokemon but it's
- 00:02:45hilarious so when you do the buy two get
- 00:02:47one free thing
- 00:02:48here um it's not obviously just Pokemon
- 00:02:53it's these which are people going are
- 00:02:55going crazy about baseball
- 00:02:58cards uh a lot of card products but you
- 00:03:01like Funko Pop um all kinds of different
- 00:03:04stuff going on here 122 Pages worth of
- 00:03:07stuff so you know you don't squish

- 00:03:13we used to collect squish Mallows we
- 00:03:15used to we still
- 00:03:18do we used to also anyway so um yeah
- 00:03:22meme of the day unpacking of the day we
- 00:03:25also got this guy yesterday or the day
- 00:03:28before new Pokemon so we were playing
- 00:03:31and we got a um sometimes it doesn't
- 00:03:34show up there we go krag IUS ex he seems
- 00:03:39good I like Pokemon that do damage to
- 00:03:42Pokemon on people's bench I've realized
- 00:03:44because people like well my daughter
- 00:03:46she'll often Retreat her wounded Pokemon
- 00:03:49and then it's like ah I almost got that
- 00:03:50Pokemon and I may not have a boss's
- 00:03:52orders to get it back into the active
- 00:03:54spot but if I got someone like this guy
- 00:03:56you can knock him out and uh she gets
- 00:03:58really mad about that
- 00:04:00so anytime I can do that is awesome so
- 00:04:04yeah great Pokemon we'll see if we can
- 00:04:06fit him into a deck meme of the day
- 00:04:09talked about all things so let's talk
- 00:04:10about the data really exciting day
- 00:04:12yesterday launched up at first to 2310
- 00:04:16for some reason that was cool and then
- 00:04:19it was getting jammed back down and then
- 00:04:21at the end of the day big volume came in
- 00:04:23on some options drove the price High
- 00:04:272248 at the close just about 22 250
- 00:04:30there was probably like a battle here
- 00:04:31for 2250 which is correspondingly like
- 00:04:34right on our Dorito so we're just
- 00:04:37battling at the top of this downward
- 00:04:39forming giant wedge over the last
- 00:04:42several months here and we ended
- 00:04:45basically the week here above max pain
- 00:04:47which is great and just posted a new
- 00:04:49Recaps repricing in the obligations
- 00:04:52Warehouse above the last one by a couple
- 00:04:55bucks $160 or so all of this could be
- 00:04:58really good um seems like a good setup
- 00:05:00to me on some decent volume here coming
- 00:05:03in at the end of
- 00:05:04September uh anything else worth
- 00:05:07mentioning um datawise we got long
- 00:05:11volume actually coming in 60% long
- 00:05:13volume only 40% short volume good to see
- 00:05:17as usual xrt has not updated their
- 00:05:21outstanding shares it's always like the
- 00:05:25very very they do it like very very last
- 00:05:27thing but it had been on some Redemption
- 00:05:29here down to to from a pretty high
- 00:05:31number of shares down to a pretty low
- 00:05:33number of shares I've never seen an ETF
- 00:05:36vary their number of Holdings or
- 00:05:38outstanding shares so much from dayto
- 00:05:41day all these other ones
- 00:05:43barely like change like a couple per a
- 00:05:46month this one's changing like 100% a
- 00:05:49month it's crazy so we are now uh
- 00:05:52creating xrt or um other ETFs so we went
- 00:05:57through a really quick as expected
- 00:05:59Redemption cycle and now we're moving
- 00:06:01into back into creation so click this
- 00:06:04guy
- 00:06:07here so flipping back up into some
- 00:06:09creation we'll see what xrt does these
- 00:06:12can either Trend together or counter um
- 00:06:16move so right now they're moving
- 00:06:17together xrt and the other ones you can
- 00:06:20see here someone mentioned that GameStop
- 00:06:22screen on the daily 5 day the 3 month
- 00:06:26the 6 month year to date one year 5 year
- 00:06:29kind of cool I guess but uh most
- 00:06:30important to me it looked a lot better
- 00:06:33yesterday but we had this really nice
- 00:06:35Thumper formation maybe we could see it
- 00:06:37here on the
- 00:06:405day yeah it's going like Thump Thump
- 00:06:43Thump Thump Thump Thump Thump all along
- 00:06:45here the uh lows are getting
- 00:06:49higher and the highs were getting kind
- 00:06:52of lower except we had that big move in
- 00:06:55the morning is early early uh part of
- 00:06:58the trading day
- 00:07:00big move and then yeah ended up green so
- 00:07:04exciting to see GameStop doing things
- 00:07:06and the most exciting measure of the day
- 00:07:09is the Len pool depleting very quickly
- 00:07:13cost to borrow has not moved but down to
- 00:07:16a quarter million shares available
- 00:07:19after after 140 million shares sold by
- 00:07:23the company over the last 3 months and
- 00:07:2520 million just like a week ago so look
- 00:07:29at this lend pool getting depleted
- 00:07:31really really quick that's great that's
- 00:07:33really exciting to see uh if somebody
- 00:07:36forc delivery of a lot of shares by
- 00:07:38having us end max pain or end above max
- 00:07:41pain they could be borrowing desperately
- 00:07:44to make sure that they can you know
- 00:07:46deliver shares in the short term and
- 00:07:48they're going to have to go out and get
- 00:07:49those shares so to me all this is
- 00:07:51telling you know that's a lot of data
- 00:07:53people are like all right you're just
- 00:07:54talking about numbers constantly what's
- 00:07:55going on here it it tells me we're
- 00:07:58seeing long interest coming on the stock
- 00:08:01which is on here
- 00:08:05somewhere
- 00:08:08um so I'm looking forward
- 00:08:12to eventually GameStop becoming a media
- 00:08:15darling as long interest grows but I've
- 00:08:19always been saying for the last year and
- 00:08:20a half or longer once Longs an
- 00:08:23institution start to Pile in on this
- 00:08:25thing that's when you're going to see it
- 00:08:27melt up and go crazy because households
- 00:08:30already got such a big stake in it and
- 00:08:33you can go back to this chart this is
- 00:08:35like the chart I always like the most
- 00:08:39well I like a lot of charts like
- 00:08:42addicted to graphs but this one is great
- 00:08:45it shows that back before the sneeze
- 00:08:49institutional Holdings were over
- 00:08:52100% because back then there were only
- 00:08:5565 million shares of GameStop and
- 00:08:57institutions owned like all of them plus
- 00:09:00more how's that possible because the
- 00:09:02short interest was so high right so they
- 00:09:06owned institutions had just continued to
- 00:09:08buy and buy and buy and then they
- 00:09:10started to sell into the sneeze and they
- 00:09:12sold a lot in 2021 so why did the price
- 00:09:16go down well they shorted It Off The Top
- 00:09:18This is a conversation that we'll have
- 00:09:19later in the video too uh people are
- 00:09:21like yeah Newton's ignoring the fact
- 00:09:23that in uh short sellers sold the top
- 00:09:25too for uh 2021 and 2022 no Institution
- 00:09:29were selling the top so institutional
- 00:09:31Holdings Dro down dramatically and you
- 00:09:33can see they only blip back up but check
- 00:09:35this out this is the this is the stock
- 00:09:38dividend split you guys and it goes
- 00:09:40literally here to here it does a Forex
- 00:09:43from 20 million shares held by
- 00:09:45institutions up to 80 or so million
- 00:09:47shares held by institutions institutions
- 00:09:49didn't buy 60 million shares their
- 00:09:51shares were split because this is none
- 00:09:53of this is split adjusted all right so
- 00:09:55really institutions just kept their
- 00:09:58Holdings the same very depleted Holdings
- 00:10:00really cuz it's 20 million out of the 80
- 00:10:03million or so shares at this point in
- 00:10:05time uh so basically institutions owning
- 00:10:07from 100% of the company down to 25 or
- 00:10:10so% of the company up to 80 million out
- 00:10:14of 3 and some odd million shares 320 odd
- 00:10:17million shares still 25% of the company
- 00:10:20they didn't really increase their
- 00:10:20Holdings here they only barely started
- 00:10:23to nibble in the last two years so this
- 00:10:26has caused price to be extremely
- 00:10:28suppressed because the only people
- 00:10:30supporting the price of GameStop over
- 00:10:33the last 3 or 4 years has been household
- 00:10:37uh all the ETFs and mutual funds are
- 00:10:39likely completely looted dry
- 00:10:41institutions have sold everything
- 00:10:43everyone's basically thought GameStop
- 00:10:45was going way back down into the dirt
- 00:10:47and they're all short or at zero on
- 00:10:50their GameStop positions and when they
- 00:10:52finally want to have their Holdings go
- 00:10:53way back up you know I doubt they'll go
- 00:10:55over over 100% right but if they want to
- 00:10:59have their Holdings go from 80 million
- 00:11:01or 90 million shares of
- 00:11:03GameStop back up to representing a
- 00:11:06substantial portion of the outstanding
- 00:11:07this is a tiny bit of outstanding right
- 00:11:09now what is this if this is at 95
- 00:11:13million shares out of the outstanding of
- 00:11:16446 they're at 21% household owns all
- 00:11:20the rest that's what I was saying in
- 00:11:21yesterday's video too if they want to
- 00:11:23see their ownership go up to like 70%
- 00:11:26like it is on most stocks you know
- 00:11:27institutions and ETFs and mut funds or
- 00:11:3080% right they they got big buying to do
- 00:11:33they need to get up to like 350 million
- 00:11:35shares a GameStop 360 million shares
- 00:11:38right they only own 95 they got to buy
- 00:11:41like a quarter billion shares of
- 00:11:43GameStop to get their ownership back up
- 00:11:44to where it was before you got to split
- 00:11:46adjust this whole thing mentally all
- 00:11:47right so this graph is extremely
- 00:11:50exciting to me could we see that
- 00:11:52happening it seems awfully convenient to
- 00:11:54me that repeatedly the stock is being
- 00:11:57jammed up um on options expiry forcing a
- 00:12:02lot of like near the money options calls
- 00:12:05into the money um big volume so what a
- 00:12:08what a way to do it if you wanted to get
- 00:12:11leverage buying over time this is me
- 00:12:13just Theory crafting here but let's say
- 00:12:15each of these is a week so here's a week
- 00:12:19here's a week here's a week here's a
- 00:12:21week all right and then now you're
- 00:12:24looking at oops let me do this so this
- 00:12:26is a week of options xpres or a month
- 00:12:30here's another month and then you'd have
- 00:12:32another month after that and so forth
- 00:12:34like let's say you build into a position
- 00:12:37on options that are near the money
- 00:12:39because you're wanting to get leverage
- 00:12:40you're wanting to ensure a certain price
- 00:12:42you're not going out and buying onto the
- 00:12:44market um what do you do let's say it
- 00:12:47was this week right you buy a bunch of
- 00:12:49calls right and at the end of the week
- 00:12:53boom you put in a big order for some
- 00:12:54more calls for January so way down the
- 00:12:56road now you're building a call position
- 00:12:58out here here it blips the price up in
- 00:13:00the short term all these now go into the
- 00:13:02money you get delivery of those shares
- 00:13:04and then the next week you do the same
- 00:13:06thing get some calls that are in the
- 00:13:07money add to your position out here for
- 00:13:10January Boop flip the price up and then
- 00:13:13all of a sudden these all go in the
- 00:13:14money too and then the next week you do
- 00:13:16the same thing you build into a call
- 00:13:17call position in the short term build
- 00:13:19your call position in the long term put
- 00:13:21some upward pressure on the price
- 00:13:23because the options uh sellers are going
- 00:13:26to Delta hedge all these guys which we
- 00:13:28saw at the end of the day
- 00:13:29all these go in the money value town
- 00:13:31right so you're getting um you know
- 00:13:34cheap exposure to GameStop out here but
- 00:13:38you're ensuring through your playing of
- 00:13:40short-term options and then long-term
- 00:13:42options that you're getting uh a good
- 00:13:46deal on the stock and you're you're
- 00:13:49applying pressure across the chain if
- 00:13:51you just go out and buy millions of
- 00:13:53shares in the immediate term which could
- 00:13:55have happened right
- 00:13:56here on last week on Friday
- 00:14:00um you're going to you're going to like
- 00:14:02basically terrify everybody and run the
- 00:14:04price up too strongly and then the price
- 00:14:05is going to come back down right so
- 00:14:07instead you could just do it
- 00:14:08incrementally week after week after week
- 00:14:10so that's in theory um Longs could be
- 00:14:13building in um institutions are going to
- 00:14:15have to have to crowd this space like
- 00:14:18we've already crowded it um household
- 00:14:20investors and since most household
- 00:14:22investors are super priced and sensitive
- 00:14:24they're like no I'm not going to sell
- 00:14:25here at
- 00:14:26$22 where institution is going to get
- 00:14:29shares from market makers and so forth
- 00:14:31right are going to have to provide that
- 00:14:33liquidity and then you're going to see
- 00:14:35them like really struggle with this
- 00:14:36thing could be exciting anyway so uh
- 00:14:38that's my thought on the price action
- 00:14:41this week very exciting to see this
- 00:14:42Thumper P pattern happening um and and
- 00:14:45see the cost to borrow not move but the
- 00:14:47available shares deplete out and um this
- 00:14:50is when I think the stock gets the most
- 00:14:52volatile because they can't just
- 00:14:53immediately borrow and um suppress
- 00:14:57action in the short term I don't think
- 00:14:58there was anything anything else I
- 00:14:59noticed long volume is good xrt still
- 00:15:03hasn't reported probably won't until
- 00:15:05Monday morning so weird I don't know
- 00:15:07what's up with that and then Kitty's
- 00:15:08charts all looking really good so again
- 00:15:11I only really look at RSI in the 15 now
- 00:15:14but not looking too crazy even with some
- 00:15:16big price move um you know slow slow
- 00:15:19steady price movement rsis just chilling
- 00:15:22in the midline on a lot of our graphs
- 00:15:24here I think that's really good I think
- 00:15:26that's really really good to see price
- 00:15:27move in RSI stay pretty steady not like
- 00:15:30move too much to one side or the other
- 00:15:33and then we're seeing um down here on
- 00:15:36like our five trigger chart here I love
- 00:15:38this chart um maybe this is my favorite
- 00:15:41chart I mean look how many you got five
- 00:15:42charts in one how can it not be your
- 00:15:44favorite anyway so we got macd in green
- 00:15:46great is this a trigger getting awfully
- 00:15:50close price is above it now too so we're
- 00:15:52going to say this one's triggered that
- 00:15:53one's triggered this one's close this
- 00:15:55one's like a half trigger because it's
- 00:15:57moved over the yellow but not over the
- 00:15:59blue so we're at what 3 and 1 half
- 00:16:00triggers out of the five that's pretty
- 00:16:03good um but it can reverse really
- 00:16:05quickly too but you can see the whole
- 00:16:07thing tight triangle here on everything
- 00:16:11so excited about that and we're seeing
- 00:16:14utilization here up a little bit but
- 00:16:16chilling and options pricing is actually
- 00:16:20still saying a little bit of little bit
- 00:16:23expensive compared to like back earlier
- 00:16:25this year so this would be like
- 00:16:26additional evidence towards this theory
- 00:16:28that like Longs could be steadily
- 00:16:30nibbling in through call Action doing it
- 00:16:32on the short term and then pressuring
- 00:16:34with the long-term calls for January
- 00:16:37with leaps theoretically and then I do
- 00:16:39want to return back to this Rex code
- 00:16:41thing I think a lot of these have some
- 00:16:43um potential for having been used
- 00:16:46especially obviously 68 if someone's
- 00:16:49deficient on their
- 00:16:50margin then they get 15 business days or
- 00:16:5314 calendar 14 calendar days I think
- 00:16:56that's totally reasonable but there's
- 00:16:57other ones and I want to look into the
- 00:16:59more closely but I just honestly have
- 00:17:00not had the chance um a couple posts to
- 00:17:03go over here really quick here yeah this
- 00:17:06one so um I had had this on the chart we
- 00:17:10are officially at did I take it off the
- 00:17:12chart for some
- 00:17:14reason I don't know why it would have
- 00:17:16come off the chart but basically this is
- 00:17:18officially Ryan Cohen
- 00:17:23um Oney year
- 00:17:26anniversary of being CEO
- 00:17:29and I just wanted to
- 00:17:31revisit like do a real quick year in
- 00:17:34review because he had said um in the
- 00:17:38interview with the DRS gme folks or um
- 00:17:41gme DD folks I think it was who they
- 00:17:43then ended up hiring which I think is
- 00:17:45super cool they're social media person
- 00:17:47it seems like they're doing a really
- 00:17:48good job super engaged with the
- 00:17:49community meming and so forth I don't
- 00:17:52know if their memes can compete with
- 00:17:54mine but they're doing a good job and uh
- 00:17:58so after after a year what has Ryan coh
- 00:18:01accomplished stockwise so we go back to
- 00:18:03when he became
- 00:18:06CEO that would have been right back here
- 00:18:09so the day prior we could do that or
- 00:18:14when was it announced was it
- 00:18:18announced I guess it doesn't matter
- 00:18:20stock was basically $17 if you average
- 00:18:23the two days so stock was at $17 a
- 00:18:27share um
- 00:18:31um yeah it was moving down pretty
- 00:18:34strongly at this point
- 00:18:36because it had been like in the 20s
- 00:18:39prior in the months to come it would
- 00:18:42drop all the way down into the 11
- 00:18:46range right back here 1191 hit a low of
- 00:18:521183 two months after he became
- 00:18:55CEO had a nice little December action
- 00:18:58here
- 00:18:59and then went all the way down to $10
- 00:19:01but we're a year out now stock is now $4
- 00:19:06up four or5 up from where he became CEO
- 00:19:10so that's an improvement I you can't
- 00:19:11like attribute everything to him
- 00:19:14obviously but let's go closing day today
- 00:19:16onee delta T plus whatever
- 00:19:20so there's our closing price here and
- 00:19:24then
- 00:19:25CEO back here we'll just call it 6
- 00:19:321684 so stock price is up
- 00:19:3533% that's
- 00:19:39good company has $4.6 billion in cash it
- 00:19:43used to have like 1 billion so we've got
- 00:19:48like a 4,000% increase is that right no
- 00:19:51a 46% increase I don't know um just
- 00:19:54subtract one 3.6 billion increase in
- 00:19:58cash value can actually go look at the
- 00:20:00little cash chart here so here we
- 00:20:03were Ryan Cohen becomes CEO back in
- 00:20:07here uh no it's not right back in
- 00:20:12here so here's Ryan Cohen becoming CEO
- 00:20:16stock price moving down little blip up
- 00:20:19for a while moves way down and then now
- 00:20:21we're way up here so overall market cap
- 00:20:23has moved from when he became CEO to
- 00:20:25about 5 billion to about 10 billion
- 00:20:29is that right yeah there's more shares
- 00:20:31that's actually interesting to think
- 00:20:32about so stock price is up 33% market
- 00:20:35caps up 100% because of all the new
- 00:20:38shares uh operational value is way up
- 00:20:42over 5 billion now 5.5 billion is what
- 00:20:44the operations being basically valued at
- 00:20:46if you if you take away all the cash so
- 00:20:49that's significant and we've got this
- 00:20:51gigantic cash horde and we've got Ryan
- 00:20:54Cohen what they should have drawn was
- 00:20:56Ryan k s sitting on a big old pile of
- 00:20:58money
- 00:21:01and we've got all this stuff happening
- 00:21:03with like PSA graded cards mod retro um
- 00:21:08collaboration uh I'm excited honestly
- 00:21:12there is an incredible amount of hate
- 00:21:13for Ryan Coen going on right now um and
- 00:21:17I had said in a video he's kind of
- 00:21:19becoming the villain I I wasn't say I
- 00:21:21think people like hear me say things and
- 00:21:23I'm like I didn't really say that I said
- 00:21:25he's quickly becoming the villain and I
- 00:21:27could rank him down to a b here just cuz
- 00:21:29that he hasn't bought any shares come on
- 00:21:30ran con buy some shares um I'm never
- 00:21:34telling anyone what to do with their
- 00:21:35money don't buy GameStop unless you're
- 00:21:37Ryan Cohen or Michael bur or uh wolf you
- 00:21:42guys got to buy some shares come on or
- 00:21:43um Mark cubin come on Mark Cuban um what
- 00:21:47was I saying there I don't
- 00:21:50know I'm just having fun this morning
- 00:21:52drinking my coffee pontificating about
- 00:21:55GameStop as usual living the best life
- 00:21:58of all time
- 00:22:01um or the best day of all time I don't
- 00:22:02know about the best life definitely
- 00:22:04pretty
- 00:22:05content get to follow the story so look
- 00:22:08at that look at that cheeky grin anyway
- 00:22:11uh I don't know what I'm talking about
- 00:22:12right now um let's go Ryan Cohen I'm
- 00:22:15excited like I'm just Juiced like this
- 00:22:19story
- 00:22:20um this story is amazing um and I have
- 00:22:24to say this if you're bored um you can
- 00:22:29write a petition so I will link this
- 00:22:32this is this is going in the description
- 00:22:34so please continue to raise your voices
- 00:22:37to the powers that be your political
- 00:22:39Representatives uh the doj the FBI local
- 00:22:42local is good local SEC Branch offices
- 00:22:45they get stuff done um because they're
- 00:22:47not yet known well enough by the
- 00:22:50industry to have their claws on them so
- 00:22:51they're actually probably going out and
- 00:22:53doing real work it's all the people in
- 00:22:54Washington that are going to be like oh
- 00:22:56we can't look into this that's that's
- 00:22:59too risky um that could end my career if
- 00:23:01I look into this the people that don't
- 00:23:03know any better at the local offices
- 00:23:05like oh yeah this looks like crime let's
- 00:23:07go after it like actually doing their
- 00:23:09jobs um anyway um this is great I I had
- 00:23:13mentioned on the video you know
- 00:23:15PlayStation is doing this limited 30th
- 00:23:17edition run and I was like you know the
- 00:23:19scalpers and stuff are just going to
- 00:23:20grab them all and looks like they're
- 00:23:21working on clawing them all back and
- 00:23:23people said the thing that I was
- 00:23:24thinking right away they should just
- 00:23:26make it so any of these exclus
- 00:23:28exclusives just make it so Pros members
- 00:23:31uh can put one in their cart to begin
- 00:23:33with for like a little bit you know just
- 00:23:36guarantee them to Pros first if you want
- 00:23:38to create sticky customers and you want
- 00:23:40to have value and this is an issue that
- 00:23:43that would be a really good thing to do
- 00:23:44it would show that you really care about
- 00:23:47your uh customers over uh profit profits
- 00:23:51right and I think that that's what Ryan
- 00:23:52Cohen did with Chewy um and this is
- 00:23:54something the community is Big about so
- 00:23:56I would say that would be a cool really
- 00:23:58cool move by GameStop then also all
- 00:24:00these scalpers are going to buy a bunch
- 00:24:01of pro members uh Pro memberships which
- 00:24:04is good anyway so um excited to see that
- 00:24:07kind of action uh by the company that's
- 00:24:10how they got to put their um change
- 00:24:12their reputation which I think is
- 00:24:15improving with how um good of deals you
- 00:24:18can get a GameStop now on your tradeing
- 00:24:21stuff because that was been like a
- 00:24:22laughing or a joke running joke for a
- 00:24:24long time that GameStop gives you
- 00:24:25terrible trade in value but they can
- 00:24:28work on that image by doing things like
- 00:24:29this and improving trade in value this
- 00:24:32is a big deal so I have here on the
- 00:24:34bearish side that GameStop and Ryan
- 00:24:37Cohen I don't think GameStop currently
- 00:24:40is under any kind of or in any kind of
- 00:24:43um lawsuit but Ryan Cohen is and I'm not
- 00:24:47sure which one I'm going to have to get
- 00:24:49rid of here so New York has sued roaring
- 00:24:51Kitty Massachusetts at Su Roar and kitty
- 00:24:54there was like some kind of like
- 00:24:56supposed class action one where someone
- 00:24:58had a small number of shares and calls
- 00:25:00that sued Rory and kitty I think that
- 00:25:01one was dropped I haven't heard anything
- 00:25:02about these two I don't know if this is
- 00:25:04the DK butterfly one but I'll cross it
- 00:25:06out for now so you got all these
- 00:25:09lawsuits that slow everything down
- 00:25:11especially everybody that's very very
- 00:25:12hopeful for like some kind of merger or
- 00:25:15acquisition type thing to happen which
- 00:25:18of course I'm very excited about I just
- 00:25:19don't talk about it because to be honest
- 00:25:21I'm going to stick with stuff that like
- 00:25:23has fairly solid evidence or at least
- 00:25:26seems
- 00:25:29um you know reasonably plausible I would
- 00:25:33say like you know an occasional 4chan
- 00:25:34post which I know upset a ton of people
- 00:25:37he's like he's posting something from
- 00:25:38forchan and he's investigating it how
- 00:25:41dare
- 00:25:42he like I don't know seemed good credit
- 00:25:45Swiss buying calls that seemed great
- 00:25:47someone else is buying calls here though
- 00:25:49related so uh tons of January calls
- 00:25:52pouring in at the end of the day why
- 00:25:54would they do this like why would you
- 00:25:57buy all these calls all at once like
- 00:25:58this you know anyone that cares about
- 00:26:00the price of the stock in the short term
- 00:26:02and wants to keep it down um would
- 00:26:04trickle in these trades someone wanted
- 00:26:06to get a bunch of
- 00:26:08Leverage um and pump the price of the
- 00:26:10stock at the end of the day for some
- 00:26:11reason so why would they do that but
- 00:26:13that's cool I don't know half the words
- 00:26:15in this post but here's unusual whales
- 00:26:18basically talking about huge premium
- 00:26:20coming in on the ask side so people are
- 00:26:23buying I don't know what all this means
- 00:26:25or this um it's bullish I know what that
- 00:26:28or
- 00:26:29dark pool volume blips up and then we
- 00:26:31see available shares most important
- 00:26:34blips down upon all this action so that
- 00:26:37seems good um got some charts love
- 00:26:41charts yeah so um you know I'm just
- 00:26:45excited I don't ever trade options
- 00:26:47because I'm just like I don't know it's
- 00:26:49like so I'm so risk adverse it's like I
- 00:26:52know I got shares options just stress me
- 00:26:55out just by even thinking about it like
- 00:26:56the fact that you could just get wiped
- 00:26:57out
- 00:26:58if if for some reason you know whoever's
- 00:27:03on the other side of this trade just
- 00:27:04decides you know we're not messing
- 00:27:07around for a while we're just going to
- 00:27:08jam this thing down for the next 6
- 00:27:09months it's like oh like I don't know so
- 00:27:12it just worries me because this is
- 00:27:13always something that could happen um or
- 00:27:17this right so I never know what's going
- 00:27:19to happen so I'm just like yeah just
- 00:27:20pick up shares don't worry about it um
- 00:27:24and then I like this because in the
- 00:27:25video I posted yesterday I talked about
- 00:27:28various ways it could be short I said
- 00:27:29shorts puts they could short ETFs they
- 00:27:32could borrow from ETFs and mutual funds
- 00:27:34all these different routes that were
- 00:27:36like basically I put all the legit ones
- 00:27:38on there and then I didn't talk about
- 00:27:40strategic failing to deliver that's a
- 00:27:42strategy could be huge lots of short
- 00:27:44interest there or uh naked shorting
- 00:27:46which is kind of the same thing in a way
- 00:27:48um or illegal short selling right which
- 00:27:51naked Short Selling would be um and it's
- 00:27:54like for years now we've been told no
- 00:27:56that's not a thing that's not real and
- 00:27:57it's like here's Korea literally saying
- 00:27:59oh you're going to be faced with maximum
- 00:28:02life sentences if you're doing this
- 00:28:04practice it's like why would all these
- 00:28:05countries be coming out so strongly
- 00:28:07against it if it's like a phantom if it
- 00:28:09doesn't really exist no it exists Bernie
- 00:28:12Madoff was doing it um others have been
- 00:28:15fined repeatedly for doing it um so if
- 00:28:19you are honestly able to synthetically
- 00:28:22just like create volume and sell
- 00:28:25something you don't own it would be
- 00:28:27extremely tempting ing to just do it
- 00:28:29just be like this company's going into
- 00:28:30chapter 11 let's just print 10 million
- 00:28:32shares make a quick 20 million bucks on
- 00:28:34this thing and not worry about it right
- 00:28:36like that's super tempting and I'm sure
- 00:28:39they got their hand caught in the cookie
- 00:28:41jar on GameStop and now that hand is
- 00:28:43stuck and they're just bleeding that was
- 00:28:45my whole thesis from yesterday love to
- 00:28:47see this people just supporting the
- 00:28:49company buying a ridiculous amount of
- 00:28:51these trading cards I was thinking this
- 00:28:52is pretty clever too because people are
- 00:28:54Ultra bullish on bitcoin and things in
- 00:28:56particular so so like Legacy packs
- 00:29:00original like first edition packs of M
- 00:29:02Magic the Gathering card or Pokémon
- 00:29:04where one booster could go for
- 00:29:06ridiculous thousands of dollars right if
- 00:29:08you know it's sealed you know it's legit
- 00:29:10people are like well I could get a black
- 00:29:12lotus in there I could get an original
- 00:29:15uh Hollow Charizard right if you could
- 00:29:17pull a full Bitcoin out of one of these
- 00:29:20packs in the years to come these things
- 00:29:22could increase in value if Bitcoin keeps
- 00:29:24going up in value long term which a lot
- 00:29:27of people very much believe in so you
- 00:29:28can just keep sealed packs of these
- 00:29:29around and these things could just soar
- 00:29:31in value so really clever here um I
- 00:29:35don't know is there even a a game
- 00:29:37associated with it the reason I'm
- 00:29:38collecting Pokemon for me is not
- 00:29:40value um I just love playing the game
- 00:29:43with my daughter and seeing her learn
- 00:29:45and win and stuff but sometimes it's fun
- 00:29:48to beat her too so uh so that's
- 00:29:50enjoyable but uh if you can't play a
- 00:29:52game with these it's like I don't know
- 00:29:53if I would collect them personally um
- 00:29:56but I can see why people do an are
- 00:29:58uh and then this is worth mentioning I
- 00:30:00had someone Reach Out same person that
- 00:30:03um sent me this coffee from Hawaii so
- 00:30:05thank you again for the Hawaii Coffee um
- 00:30:07and they said their Schwab account is
- 00:30:09showing 300% margin to short GameStop
- 00:30:12and this person's margin account just
- 00:30:14went up on shorting GameStop why would
- 00:30:16they be so worried right well Len pool's
- 00:30:18depleting Oh no just lost a
- 00:30:22tab so Len pool is depleting here um and
- 00:30:25they're increasing the margin rate on
- 00:30:27GameStop that's bullish right and Thomas
- 00:30:29pedre had said the way that they could
- 00:30:31slow or prevent this situation from
- 00:30:34repeating itself would be to do
- 00:30:35something like this as it becomes harder
- 00:30:38to borrow stock the borrow rate needs to
- 00:30:41move out dynamically margin rates need
- 00:30:44to move up dynamically to prevent short
- 00:30:46squeezes that are explosive and and like
- 00:30:49potentially disastrous for the market he
- 00:30:50said that in his interview on I believe
- 00:30:53CNBC so if they started to put that in
- 00:30:55place this would be another good signal
- 00:30:57to look at is what the dynamic margin
- 00:30:59rate is on short and GameStop um because
- 00:31:03the the system itself wants to prevent
- 00:31:05risk right so if they're seeing risk on
- 00:31:07right now I'm excited because that means
- 00:31:09something could happen to the upside
- 00:31:11we're going to end the video here I saw
- 00:31:12that this was posted on super I was like
- 00:31:14that that's cool that graph looks legit
- 00:31:16I love graphs and then I was like oh
- 00:31:17that's my graph so uh someone clipped
- 00:31:20the video which I thought was cool took
- 00:31:22my face out of there which was nice to
- 00:31:23see um and I just wanted to go through a
- 00:31:25couple things cuz I saw someone posted
- 00:31:27something thing I'll get to it but um I
- 00:31:30was 100% before we even knew who this
- 00:31:31guy was I was too that's funny um so
- 00:31:36I've been making videos though for
- 00:31:37people that are new on GameStop since 84
- 00:31:41years
- 00:31:42ago
- 00:31:44um let's see where do you go in here
- 00:31:51analytics yeah so we'll go lifetime here
- 00:31:54so first videos started making them back
- 00:31:57back in like the beginning of 2022 so I
- 00:32:01was like a year of just like kind of
- 00:32:02being
- 00:32:04um just what do you call it lurking on
- 00:32:06forums and just watching the whole thing
- 00:32:08happen and I got really interested in in
- 00:32:10building like an Excel and sharing what
- 00:32:12I was doing back here and then started
- 00:32:14making nfts and doing different things
- 00:32:16here and then I've just been like
- 00:32:18finding a lot of joy and waking up in
- 00:32:20the morning talking about GameStop
- 00:32:21drinking coffee and whatnot uh opening
- 00:32:24Pokemon and yeah so I haven't been here
- 00:32:27on the channel since the beginning but
- 00:32:28been here for a long time and um I'm not
- 00:32:31doing any of it to like get famous or
- 00:32:34anything like uh I don't have a Reddit
- 00:32:37account I my only social media is
- 00:32:40Twitter which looks like this for people
- 00:32:43that are like are you on Twitter because
- 00:32:45people that does come up U I am so it's
- 00:32:48R Newton
- 00:32:497777 and I post a bible message every
- 00:32:53morning so after I drink my coffee talk
- 00:32:55about Pokemon on GameStop I read the
- 00:32:58Bible so I've got that right
- 00:33:00here and then I make a Bible post here
- 00:33:03and then I put it on my website too and
- 00:33:05on the
- 00:33:06website so here's the nfts we were
- 00:33:09making last year and the year before um
- 00:33:12I post it and I post it with some
- 00:33:14commentary so this is like my Daily
- 00:33:17Journal and then just the verse goes out
- 00:33:20onto
- 00:33:21Twitter and then I take a screenshot of
- 00:33:23this on my cell phone and I send it to
- 00:33:25all the people in my life that I'm
- 00:33:26really close with
- 00:33:28um so it's like 120 people at this point
- 00:33:31or something like that so that's like my
- 00:33:33daily routine um just like connecting
- 00:33:35with people encouraging people through
- 00:33:37the YouTube channel and then um and then
- 00:33:41through my my Twitter kind of Journal
- 00:33:43thing and my website um there is one
- 00:33:47thing I wanted to mention here is
- 00:33:48someone said um I wouldn't want to be in
- 00:33:51a movie I was actually hit up to be in
- 00:33:53that um that that uh documentary that
- 00:33:57just came out I don't even know what
- 00:33:58it's called I didn't watch it um and I
- 00:34:00told him no I was just like n I'm I'm
- 00:34:03just doing my own thing here I'm just
- 00:34:04following along I'm not famous or
- 00:34:05anything um apparently there's ads for
- 00:34:08Robin Hood on this channel I can't stop
- 00:34:11that I don't know I've monetized the
- 00:34:13channel uh because all this I I like
- 00:34:17donating and this is just allowing me to
- 00:34:20donate a ton more money than I can
- 00:34:21usually donate so it's super cool um and
- 00:34:25I figure like why not just turn on
- 00:34:26monetization then I do have to pay taxes
- 00:34:28on the earnings uh but then I just
- 00:34:31whatever just donate it all anyway um
- 00:34:34and then I like this people are adding
- 00:34:36some data to the discussion so short
- 00:34:38interest went bananas in late 2020 they
- 00:34:41were probably borrowing like crazy to
- 00:34:43hedge all the calls because so much of
- 00:34:45those calls just kept going in the money
- 00:34:47over and over again again as Thomas
- 00:34:49perrey talked about um this is what I'm
- 00:34:51about just like tell people like this
- 00:34:53story is amazing and this person got
- 00:34:56concerned cuz I said t plus 400 I was
- 00:34:57kind of joking but the next console
- 00:35:00cycle should be should be out here in
- 00:35:062027 hopefully um and the console Cycles
- 00:35:09have just historically been huge for
- 00:35:11GameStop we can see long form graph
- 00:35:13which I've got where is the longest form
- 00:35:16one I'll just go look at this guy so you
- 00:35:19can
- 00:35:21see um console
- 00:35:24cycle uh PlayStation 3 PlayStation for
- 00:35:28PlayStation 5 huge so PlayStation 6
- 00:35:32isn't even that far away and look at the
- 00:35:34response like you know institutions and
- 00:35:37so for they want a chunk of GameStop
- 00:35:38going into his console cycle so that's
- 00:35:40why I was talking about that part there
- 00:35:42do you guys really have yeah pretty much
- 00:35:45and then um I like this post so isn't it
- 00:35:49a little intellectually dishonest not to
- 00:35:50mention that it's not like the old
- 00:35:52shorts just sitting paying rent and
- 00:35:53doing nothing else they shorted again at
- 00:35:55the top of the sneeze yep uh but but you
- 00:35:58got to think about the volume and I
- 00:35:59don't know a good way to do this um and
- 00:36:02then they would have kept shorting it at
- 00:36:03the top over and over again and I had
- 00:36:04said that exact thing in the video I
- 00:36:07think it's right here so I didn't ignore
- 00:36:09that part I made sure to talk about that
- 00:36:10part it's like right
- 00:36:13um here where I was filling in they
- 00:36:16could have been shorting all up here but
- 00:36:18here's something also to think about
- 00:36:20again going to that long form graph I'm
- 00:36:22not going to have like a way to do this
- 00:36:23very well mathematically but let's just
- 00:36:26think this stock has never been higher
- 00:36:31um than where it is today except during
- 00:36:33a very brief window of time really
- 00:36:36because if they've been shorting this
- 00:36:37thing since 2014 or 2017 or longer and
- 00:36:41they've just been holding a lot of
- 00:36:42shorts or rolling them or paying rent on
- 00:36:44them so you've only got this period of
- 00:36:47time and the volume here is tiny
- 00:36:51compared to the volume all back here
- 00:36:53absolutely tiny the float was turning
- 00:36:54over so frequently back in here but
- 00:36:57here's something as well to think about
- 00:37:00I've talked about cost to borrow in fact
- 00:37:02I keep it open right here so this person
- 00:37:04always shows cost to borrow and here it
- 00:37:07is in green right so immediately after
- 00:37:10the sneeze cost to borrow went way way
- 00:37:11down and right now cost to borrows
- 00:37:14really low but cost of borrow has been
- 00:37:16very high for long periods of time back
- 00:37:17here so rent is not negligible and rent
- 00:37:21adds to your cost basis if you're a
- 00:37:22short seller so let's do something like
- 00:37:24this so what I was thinking about this
- 00:37:26morning
- 00:37:29as I was laying in bed debating whether
- 00:37:30or not to get up I was like you know I'm
- 00:37:32already thinking about GameStop let's
- 00:37:34just make a video about GameStop too
- 00:37:36while we're at it is um the current
- 00:37:39share price is
- 00:37:41here and I said anyone below this line
- 00:37:44is underwater but really what this line
- 00:37:47does is it moves like
- 00:37:51this because the older oops to do that
- 00:37:56the older your
- 00:37:59short the more rent you paid on it over
- 00:38:01time and there were key periods in time
- 00:38:03you can just look at the graph right
- 00:38:04here when rent was really high on these
- 00:38:07shares especially 2022 so back in here
- 00:38:11cost to borrow blipped up really
- 00:38:14strongly coincidentally that's when
- 00:38:17credit Swiss blew up right and then back
- 00:38:20in here cost to borrow was extremely
- 00:38:23high too so if you were holding shorts
- 00:38:26from back here and let's say you short
- 00:38:27it at
- 00:38:28$5 right well today you've now been if
- 00:38:31you've been holding this short and you
- 00:38:33were short back here at like $5 right
- 00:38:36here right your true cost basis though
- 00:38:40keep kept Rising every time you poured
- 00:38:42some more rent into that short to hold
- 00:38:44it and there were long segments here
- 00:38:46where this thing was 30 40% cost to
- 00:38:50borrow right um or if you were holding a
- 00:38:52position via puts or swaps you've been
- 00:38:56paying in rent so so realistically I
- 00:38:58don't know how exactly to model this
- 00:39:01second line this blue one but it makes
- 00:39:04the volume of shorts that they could
- 00:39:06have entered at these recent tops even
- 00:39:10smaller that's really my thought here
- 00:39:12cuz the person's basically saying he's
- 00:39:13not mentioning the recent shorts that
- 00:39:16offset the Legacy shorts and it's like
- 00:39:19no I did I talked about that they
- 00:39:20probably just didn't listen long enough
- 00:39:21to hear it which is fine because my my
- 00:39:24videos like this one go way too long um
- 00:39:26cuz I'm just kind of talking to myself
- 00:39:27but there was a really good video that
- 00:39:30talked about they broke down essentially
- 00:39:33the the relationship is between these
- 00:39:35two it wasn't a video it was a DD old DD
- 00:39:38but they're basically were showing like
- 00:39:39this is a drop in the bucket compared to
- 00:39:41this and they did some mathematical
- 00:39:42analysis and basically show there's it
- 00:39:44also just adds more shares to their pile
- 00:39:47and what it does is it means that every
- 00:39:48new dollar change down here is
- 00:39:51devastating for them CU it not only does
- 00:39:54it make these ones even more underwater
- 00:39:57but but then these ones which are
- 00:39:58supposed to offset these ones are now
- 00:40:00underwater or less valuable right so
- 00:40:03what it does is if they did short the
- 00:40:05top back here to a tremendous degree it
- 00:40:07forces them into a Tighter and Tighter
- 00:40:09triangle so again if they did it again
- 00:40:10here now it's like every dollar of
- 00:40:12movement down here towards the end of
- 00:40:14this triangle or the end of the whole
- 00:40:16formation is they they need to just keep
- 00:40:19pouring more and more shorts into it and
- 00:40:21then someone asked a really good
- 00:40:22question they were like with the recent
- 00:40:23dilutions doesn't that mean that they
- 00:40:25need to even apply even more volume now
- 00:40:28into it and I'd say yeah absolutely and
- 00:40:30it's going to cause this thing to be
- 00:40:32Tighter and Tighter and Tighter because
- 00:40:33any tiny percent or dollar change down
- 00:40:36here now um affects these ones super
- 00:40:39strongly these Legacy ones devalues
- 00:40:42these ones really strongly and these are
- 00:40:43the ones helping them out keeping this
- 00:40:46part you know from blowing them up and
- 00:40:49it's like I think it's actually even
- 00:40:52more exciting that they piled in more
- 00:40:53shorts after the fact so I don't think
- 00:40:56it's intellectually Dishon at all I
- 00:40:58think it's exciting the fact that the
- 00:41:00only reason that they could be net
- 00:41:01positive on the whole situation is
- 00:41:03because they resorted it they hardly
- 00:41:04closed out anything how like you can't
- 00:41:08close out some shorts and open new
- 00:41:09shorts and say you closed out like no
- 00:41:11you entered more shorts you basically
- 00:41:13averaged their dollar cost averaging up
- 00:41:15with more shorting um and then this
- 00:41:18thing here they're concerned about this
- 00:41:197 to1 number I just threw out there and
- 00:41:22if they've been following the channel
- 00:41:23which they probably haven't because why
- 00:41:25would you why would you listen to some
- 00:41:26guy at 4: in the morning morning ramble
- 00:41:28endlessly about GameStop that would just
- 00:41:30be crazy to do but we've got the DRS tab
- 00:41:32here and we can see from our surveying
- 00:41:35the people that follow this channel
- 00:41:37which again have got to be crazy people
- 00:41:40um are um 40% on average DRS we've got
- 00:41:44that like right here trim DRS percent
- 00:41:4740% it's coming in like right here here
- 00:41:50it is percent DRS 40% so this is just
- 00:41:53like Fanatics following the channel
- 00:41:56responding to the survey typically um
- 00:41:58and again in real life I don't know
- 00:42:00anybody that even knows about DRS except
- 00:42:02well two know about it but aren't DRS
- 00:42:04right now so like basically what we're
- 00:42:08saying is you can extrapolate from this
- 00:42:10and say that means that like most people
- 00:42:12aren't DRS most shares held by household
- 00:42:14aren't like it just that's just the way
- 00:42:15it is they're trying to say they're
- 00:42:17asking this good question
- 00:42:20um is there any information that the DRS
- 00:42:23position doesn't represent the vast
- 00:42:24majority of all household gme holders
- 00:42:26yeah the fact that even people
- 00:42:28responding to the survey are 60% not DRS
- 00:42:30International people have a lot of
- 00:42:32trouble dsing a lot of people have
- 00:42:34shares in retirement accounts like I do
- 00:42:36that I'm not going to DRS right
- 00:42:40so yeah so and and I'm not saying that
- 00:42:42there's billions of shares out there I
- 00:42:44think that claim comes up a lot but I'm
- 00:42:46just saying they've shorted this thing
- 00:42:48like crazy I had my little um simulation
- 00:42:50I built too that basically showed this
- 00:42:54was back when the outstanding shares
- 00:42:56were was 3 6 back there and we were
- 00:42:59saying if the percent DRS was 22% back
- 00:43:02there which is like 1 and5 then that
- 00:43:04indicated a lot of naked short selling
- 00:43:07right there because you can see this is
- 00:43:09the nonfat this is institutions and
- 00:43:11insiders this is your DRS amount right
- 00:43:13here and this would be the rest all the
- 00:43:15other four shares that are in Brokers
- 00:43:17for every one share that's DRS and it
- 00:43:19goes way over the available float way
- 00:43:22over the short interest which at the
- 00:43:24time was higher and it's like into this
- 00:43:26no man's land which indicates the only
- 00:43:28way that that position can exist is with
- 00:43:30a naked share um supporting it somehow
- 00:43:33or a borrow from an ETF or a mutual fund
- 00:43:35I guess that would be possible too um so
- 00:43:38anyway I thought it was a great question
- 00:43:40and I liked how this person
- 00:43:44said
- 00:43:48um waiting for an answer to this one um
- 00:43:52you make excellent points that you won't
- 00:43:53receive any honest response to like well
- 00:43:57you know this is this uh whole channel
- 00:43:59is just a conversation um people bring
- 00:44:01up things all the
- 00:44:03time um I do think they play in the
- 00:44:05volatility what I'm actually more
- 00:44:07worried about in the picture here than
- 00:44:09them shorting the top I think them
- 00:44:10shorting the top is actually great
- 00:44:12because it's like yeah fight this by
- 00:44:14shorting it more that's exactly how they
- 00:44:16failed in late 2020 so if they keep
- 00:44:18doing it then that's like I think that's
- 00:44:21great that's more future buyers right
- 00:44:23just price needs to move up and blow
- 00:44:25them out again uh what I'm more conc
- 00:44:27concerned about is how much have they
- 00:44:28recouped on options premiums during all
- 00:44:31this because when they do that it takes
- 00:44:33this whole line and lowers their cost
- 00:44:35basis so every time they steal people's
- 00:44:39premiums by delaying settlement
- 00:44:43or um whatever they're doing right they
- 00:44:46can then claim that as a gain lower
- 00:44:50their cost basis they're selling call
- 00:44:52you know doing whatever they're doing um
- 00:44:54and that buys them more time on their
- 00:44:56accounts in theory so I would say that's
- 00:44:59probably more of what they're doing get
- 00:45:01people really excited get options really
- 00:45:03expensive premiums go to the Moon tons
- 00:45:06of people buy and then they they push a
- 00:45:08cycle out really really far burn a bunch
- 00:45:10of people make a bunch of money
- 00:45:13um and then there were like some other
- 00:45:16things in
- 00:45:17here
- 00:45:19um yeah exactly like why would anyone
- 00:45:21watch like an hourong video or an 11
- 00:45:24minute video of someone talking about
- 00:45:25GameStop when you're already know the
- 00:45:29simple thesis here which is nothing else
- 00:45:33explains all of this ridiculous
- 00:45:35volatility except if someone's caught
- 00:45:38and fighting for their life and we've
- 00:45:40seen Banks and um hedge funds explode
- 00:45:43repeatedly and the media just endlessly
- 00:45:46slander
- 00:45:47us
- 00:45:49um so it's like yeah and overbought you
- 00:45:52could call it overbought or oversold
- 00:45:54either
- 00:45:55way um
- 00:45:59and then I had not mentioned shares sold
- 00:46:01not yet bought so I wanted to add that
- 00:46:03on yet like any naked Short Selling
- 00:46:05strategic failing to delivering uh all
- 00:46:08that stuff totally works and they do pay
- 00:46:10rent I believe to the nscc on all that
- 00:46:13in the obligations Warehouse or
- 00:46:15whatever um yeah like honestly I don't
- 00:46:18know anyone DRS right now it's crazy um
- 00:46:27yeah no problem just uh drinking my
- 00:46:29coffee having fun not trying to convince
- 00:46:31anyone of anything but totally historic
- 00:46:32this is amazing this whole story that's
- 00:46:34why I love talking about it like I know
- 00:46:36I do Rambles just like this one um
- 00:46:38constantly but it's like I'm always just
- 00:46:40amazed that like this really happened
- 00:46:43and somehow I got lucky the whole story
- 00:46:44of how I got involved I'm like I'm so
- 00:46:46lucky to even be involved in this
- 00:46:49situation how many movies and
- 00:46:51documentaries have been made at this
- 00:46:53point about the whole thing there was a
- 00:46:56spliid splid in what did they do with
- 00:46:58the split I don't know what this person
- 00:46:59is trying to say but the prices I adjust
- 00:47:01all the prices um in my chart so back
- 00:47:05here just so people do know um prices
- 00:47:07have all been split adjusted volumes all
- 00:47:09been split split adjusted and so have
- 00:47:10ftds but not the
- 00:47:12ftds on the ETFs because I don't think
- 00:47:15you can do that or the outstanding
- 00:47:17shares or anything like that I don't
- 00:47:20think it would matter because it's
- 00:47:21dollar amount anyway so anyway you guys
- 00:47:23there was one last thing I wanted to do
- 00:47:25this is not going to be about GameStop
- 00:47:27today but I did want to say like uh
- 00:47:31there are this situation while as
- 00:47:33amazing as it is honestly and I feel so
- 00:47:35blessed and lucky to be involved in it
- 00:47:37and to like have um somehow decided
- 00:47:41people periodically I think go back and
- 00:47:42watch the first YouTube videos and it's
- 00:47:44like I don't even have a camera on I'm
- 00:47:46looking at a spreadsheet that's like in
- 00:47:48actual Excel and people are like hey
- 00:47:49could you put that on Google Sheets and
- 00:47:51share it with people and I was like all
- 00:47:52right that sounds like a good idea
- 00:47:53people are like hey can you freeze your
- 00:47:55top row here so we know what you're
- 00:47:57actually talking about the the community
- 00:48:00has been so patient with me and um you
- 00:48:02know the fact that it's allowed me to
- 00:48:04fund raise
- 00:48:05essentially um and then support causes
- 00:48:08that I really believe in I think it's
- 00:48:10just such a blessing an amazing thing
- 00:48:13and um I'm I there's just so much to
- 00:48:16this that I consider to be incredible
- 00:48:18it's changed my life I've talked about
- 00:48:19it before I'm not going to in this video
- 00:48:20it changed my whole career um because of
- 00:48:24like well I'll just say it um like being
- 00:48:27down on my position back here during the
- 00:48:28sneeze was like I don't Gamble and I
- 00:48:31felt like I had lost my family money
- 00:48:33that I
- 00:48:34didn't um like I didn't have the right
- 00:48:37to lose or or bet on something um so it
- 00:48:40pushed me really hard to work extra um
- 00:48:43level up my career and then like I'm at
- 00:48:45this I was just talking with my wife
- 00:48:46last night about this I'm at this point
- 00:48:48in my career where I'm just so content
- 00:48:49with what I'm doing I get to work with
- 00:48:51amazing people and have a big impact
- 00:48:54impact and utilize my skill set and in
- 00:48:56fact a lot of doing this channel has
- 00:48:59increased my skill set with um lots of
- 00:49:02things um data type stuff uh
- 00:49:06presentation of material my public
- 00:49:09speaking and just uh I don't even know
- 00:49:13how to describe it but I I see it in my
- 00:49:16work that I do so all this is a is a
- 00:49:19gift and I just wanted to say if you're
- 00:49:21struggling because I think a lot of
- 00:49:23people maybe aren't going through the
- 00:49:25same experience um and I'm I'm just
- 00:49:27trying to you know tell the story
- 00:49:30encourage people um bring joy into
- 00:49:33people's lives with with each action I
- 00:49:35do each day because I feel like um the
- 00:49:38world can be really hard really really
- 00:49:40hard and if people work to make the
- 00:49:42world a better place then it could
- 00:49:44become a a paradise like an amazing
- 00:49:46place but we have to put an effort to do
- 00:49:48that and so that's what I'm big about in
- 00:49:49my life and if you're having a hard time
- 00:49:51this last part of the video is for you
- 00:49:53and I just want to say to anybody that's
- 00:49:56experien experiencing hardship uh it
- 00:49:58could be Financial Health career family
- 00:50:03um addiction depression um I know all
- 00:50:07these feelings and hurts and I empathize
- 00:50:10with you and I just want to say that I
- 00:50:12love you and I care about you and um I'm
- 00:50:15rooting for you and I'm praying for you
- 00:50:16and I wanted to say this
- 00:50:19prayer it's from Matthew 6 and this is
- 00:50:22to anyone involved in the story that's
- 00:50:24having a hard time um this includes
- 00:50:27maybe people that like I see on super
- 00:50:29song people post things that are like
- 00:50:31there's
- 00:50:32frustration um there's people that don't
- 00:50:35like what I'm doing and I'm okay with
- 00:50:37that I'm like that's fine like um and if
- 00:50:39there's maybe something in their life
- 00:50:41that's causing them to act in this
- 00:50:43particular way this negative way like
- 00:50:45I'm not going to sit here and tell
- 00:50:47people like you can't be negative you
- 00:50:49know because I don't know their
- 00:50:50circumstances and perspectives are often
- 00:50:52driven by
- 00:50:53circumstances and circumstances can be
- 00:50:55beyond our control so I'm just going to
- 00:50:57pray for everybody pray for people that
- 00:50:59are having a hard time today or um
- 00:51:02experiencing negativity and maybe um
- 00:51:05through prayer that negativity can turn
- 00:51:07into positivity because I'm a big
- 00:51:08believer in turning a negative into a
- 00:51:11positive uh because that's something we
- 00:51:13can try to do in our lives so from
- 00:51:15Matthew 6 comes this passage it's Jesus
- 00:51:18speaking and he says um after this
- 00:51:23manner therefore pray ye Our Father
- 00:51:26which are in in heaven Hallowed be thy
- 00:51:27name thy kingdom come thy will be done
- 00:51:30on Earth as it is in heaven give us this
- 00:51:32day our daily bread and forgive us our
- 00:51:35debts as we forgive our debtors and lead
- 00:51:37us not into temptation but Deliver Us
- 00:51:39from Evil for thine is the kingdom and
- 00:51:42the power and the glory forever amen so
- 00:51:44I'll just say you know God gave us this
- 00:51:47day and we get to choose what we do with
- 00:51:49it um I get today to go to a concert
- 00:51:54it's a goose concert um and and with
- 00:51:56some friends and they're just taking me
