More like the next few days, if not hours. Plummeted after hours. Shorts got squeezed and Robinhood investors are going to wish they had taken profits like everyone else is doing.

Trading halted. Not looking good following the Bloomberg report.

Algorithms and bots got ahold of this in the last two days and crushed the shorts.

How pissed would you be if you lost your arse in a short squeeze days before they file for chapter 11?

Reports of Ch 11 filing.

Check out the 5 year chart on this stock. Wow! Some folks may be committing suicide today, literally.

You mean other than the Bloomberg report?

I laughed a little at this note in a Forbes article:
quote:

Much of the price action appears to be attributed to retail investors new to day trading on the no-commission Robinhood platform — who are set to learn valuable lessons about the nature of capital structures and the pecking order of recoveries in a bankruptcy.


quote:

Trading started again. Now somebody explain that.

So what is your stance here, that the report is false and they aren’t preparing to file for bankruptcy? If that’s the case why have CHK executives not responded to the media reports?

You seem to think that months of bad news means it’s not going to happen - I’d argue the opposite. Hell, the company already acknowledged chapter 11 was a possibility earlier this year.

ETA: Here’s the quote from their 10-Q filing in May:
quote:

As a result of the impacts to the Company's financial position resulting from declining industry conditions and in consideration of the substantial amount of long-term debt outstanding, the Company has engaged advisors to assist with the evaluation of strategic alternatives, which may include, but not be limited to, seeking a restructuring, amendment or refinancing of existing debt through a private restructuring or reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code.

As will be the case with Hertz pretty soon. Retail investor always get slaughtered in these situations. I would 100% expect anyone holding on to these shares will get zero from them. Tale as old as time

Same for Macy's...and a lot of folks are unloading it today. I guess some buyers think they're going to make some money in the short term.

They keep pointing the finger at "inexperienced people on Robinhood", but the blame should really lie at the feet of people who buy into coordinated pump schemes on StockTwits, Twitter, Reddit, etc.

Trading was halted because they said the company was releasing news. Nothing was released and no statement has been given by CHK.

Not even in the same ballpark as Hertz and CHK. That is a very misinformed comment.

I should have only quoted the part pertaining to BK.That's what I was implying in regards to Macy's...and I stand by it.

Having the opinion that Macy's will go bankrupt isn't crazy, and you certainly aren't alone. I just think the comparison of the recent run up in Macy's stock to that of Hertz and CHK (which have either filed for bankruptcy or heavily alluded to it) is not good.

I personally would not, imagine the spreads are gonna be very wide and not worth it. I have some puts that I bought 2.5 weeks ago (before all of the crazy volatility last week) which expire Friday. Hopefully can sell them off today.
