keep seeing people say that a share count is happening today. What’s the deal.
AMC is expected to report how many individual shareholders they have today. The information will be spun to fit whatever narrative the storyteller wants it to fit.

That being said, there are only 87 million shares currently on loan, so current legal shorts can’t be higher than that.

And,

As of June 2, AMC had approximately 4.1 million shareholders eligible to vote at the upcoming Shareholder Meeting

Because you can’t read.
Oh, and, boom?

Commenting about the share count, AMC President and CEO Adam Aron said, “The number of investors who want to own a part of AMC continues to increase and now stands at approximately 4.1 million. More than 80% of AMC shares are held by a broad base of retail investors with an average holding of around 120 shares.

So, from what I have gathered today on this thread is that the share price will be roughly between 7.50 and 30,000.00 in the am.

But wait! Retail only owns, at most, 80% right? So, unless my calculator is broke, that a whole different number than the one above. Almost 100 million off! 400 million. Institiutions and insiders hold the other 20%. So, it appears that there are a bunch of fake shares!

Adam Aron says individual investors own approximately 492 million shares, we assume institutional investors own 135MM (at most since that’s the highest total I could find), and that gives us roughly 627MM shares. Ortex estimates 90 or so million shares were short on 6/2, so that’s 547 MM net shares.
The great synthetic share count is about 46 million shares using the most favorable assumptions possible.

Just an FYI that “retail” doesn’t really “own” shares it holds in a margin account, the broker does.
These days, even shares held in a “cash” account are questionable.

So Slack, is this enough to get this to $100, or do I sell in the morning?
I’m so confused right now.

I wasn’t joking when I said it would be spun to fit whatever narrative people want, so I’m not going to act like this will help people see the light all of a sudden. The entire premise of hundreds of millions of synthetic shorts is absolutely torpedoed, but what AMC shareholders will do is anyone’s guess.

No it isn’t, It’s pretty simple maths. The ceo said 4.1M with avg being 120 shares per. That is 492M. There is no spinning maths broski. Something is fricky and you don’t seem to want to believe it.@slackster and chitown, Did you also believe the election wasn’t stolen?
ETA: the answer to the last question will tell me all I need to know

I get that, but based on the numbers conservatively 10% of the company is shorted with shares that simply don’t exist. And that’s based off current data. That doesn’t count what’s been happening over the previous few months.
Isn’t that A: illegal and B: kinda messed up?

I’m saying this information blows up your entire hypothesis and you’re reaching for win.
You: There are likely billions of synthetic shares of AMC out there
AMC: There are less than 50 million synthetic shares, at best, in existence.
You: See, I told you there were a lot of synthetic shares out there.

So, how many shares have been shorted? Retail owns 98%+ of the outstanding shares. What happens to the price of those shorted shares?

Not sure,I don’t trade on margin. Learned my lesson in 2008 by buying failing banks on margin. One went completely under, Colonial. I was watching good ole Uncle Milty, Bobby Lowder and Pat Dye buy it hand over fist so I rode with them and lost BIG.
I know TDA is owned by Schwab now and Schwab has a 200% maintenance requirement on AMC.
War Eagle my friend.
