Melvin Capital's Plotkin might have to downgrade his house

Many foreigners owned Msian shares.

1. Foreign Funds borrow Msian shares off-shore.
2. Sells the Msian shares on KLSE (now Bursa).
3. Obtains RM, and remits it off-shore.

imagine the cycle in larger and larger quantity.

throw some articles on Financial Times / Bloomber on Msia

a) capital account deficit (due to huge conversion of RM to USD) [refer 3],
b) stockmarket dropping [refer 2]


after everything crash, buy everything back at dirt cheap price

KLCI Index Sep 1998 at 267.

the interest on the borrowed shares will slice them a hundred times everyday....see how long they can last.....

China piling in...

owner of Twitter supports the small guy

LDE = Little D1xk Energy....go google it....

its a Democrats Government....takes care of the little guy ?

anyway, of the 4.2m degenerates at Reddit WSB, i'm sure >50% are American Citizens.

they'll vote for whoever they think is on their side....

first stage is for Hedge Fund to declare bankrupt.

presumably, the lenders to the HF are bankers and brokers....

second stage is for the asset / liability will fall to the bankers / brokers to figure out....

i don't think a Federal Govt bail out is likely this time round. Remember its a Democrat Govt and they need to send the right signal so early in the Presidency.

i know shit about american politics, so don't believe me :-)

the issue with Gld and Slv to me is that its being - in my opinion - being manipulated with the nod and wink of the Federal Reserve.

mainly to maintain the primacy of the USD.

in which case, are you ready to fight an institution which can magically print out Billions / Trillions of USD faster than a rub on Aladdin's Lamp ? Every Comex expiration, they smash down the price of Gld / Slv......

difficult to fight an institution which has unlimited money.

at least Melvin Capital has limits.

i think all the brokers / HF are preparing, thats why there is broad based sellling now as other liquid assets (eg shares) are being sold just in case liquidity / solvency issues come out.

broad based selling on the US indexes.

impossible....shares shorted (and needs to be covered) vs market availability (on a daily basis)

they will do a Awe n Fear program to scare the shit out of you to sell.....

just Buy n Hold...

CNBC is obviously biased. CNBC also claimed that Melvin Capital has already covered the short. Fake News. impossible on the volume available.

USA has reached the same level as Msia !

Doing a Shock and Awe to scare you. Cheap. Buy and Hold.

just track the Short level...thats all....

if you don't understand what is a Short Squeeze, then no point talking about valuation and price with you

i suspect broad selling is due to liquidation in anticipation of possibility of the shit hitting the fan wrt GME n Melvin / MapleLane

apparently many brokers refusing to trade in GME; Robinhood / Interactive Brokers etc

Empire Strikes back....

agree....just track the Short Outstanding position.... price doesn't matter, the Short position does...

SHORT STOCK DOESN'T HAVE AN EXPIRATION DATE

Hedgefund whales are spreading disinfo saying Friday is make-or-break for $GME. Call options expiring ITM on Friday will drive the price up if levels are maintained, but may not trigger the short squeeze.

It may be Friday, but it could be next week the we see the real squeeze.
DON'T PANIC IF THE SQUEEZE DOESN'T HAPPEN FRIDAY.

It's not guaranteed to. The only thing that is guaranteed mathematically is that the shorts will have to cover at some point in the future. They are trying to get enough people hooked on the false expectation of Friday so that if/when it doesn't happen, enough will sell out of panic/despair. DON'T BE THAT PERSON.
WE LIKE THE STOCK
KEEP HOLDING UNTIL THEY FEEL THE PAIN, WHETHER THAT'S FRIDAY OR NEXT WEEK

(obligatory not financial advice, just the musing of this random autist) .

Awe and Fear by the Establishment. Even FT wrote a biased article but re-edited. The Establishment doesn't like one of their own to be wounded and bloodied.....

....esp by the commoners / pipits / normal guy on the street who doesn't know his place...
