re: Holding AMC Thread- Diamond hands unite

I have yet to see any links or reliable data from you to prove this is the case. The short float would disagree with this statement.

I already posted it today. Regardless of where this came from, the math is solid.

I don't know enough about synthetic shares to answer your question and if what you're suggesting would actually be needed or do what you're suggesting it would. But I do know that all options activity is tracked and we know exactly what those things are. Same with everything related to available shares.

Synthetic shares are created by nefarious means when hedges short a stock, and the shares are not available to borrow. It is highly illegal, but still happen in our market. The key is to drive the price down, so that legitimate shares can be purchased to hide that activity. You do know that AMC is most held stock on Robinhood, right? Not Apple, Google, or Tesla.....AME.

If you are looking for is a site that gives you an accurate count of shares shorted, you aren't going to find it, due to naked shorting.

I don't have the time or interest to sift through all that, but I guess I would just say that I would be uber skeptical about anything posted on Reddit. I would not consider that a reliable source of information. I certainly wouldn't bet $100,000 on it, if what you say about your holdings is true.

I think we've also seen that their proclamations are very often untrue...claims of a stock going to a certain price, claims of a short squeeze happening on whatever day (the "holy Toledo" video guy being an exmaple), claims of a certain level of short exposure, claims of being able to manipulate the share price (set your sell order to 1,000!), etc.

Who was it that said amc was going to 20 by the end of the day like a week ago?

Is the float 400MM? Probably not considering Wanda. However, the math used to calculate the 272MM float is using multiple sources that are outdated. That calculation should be done using actual positions in shares, not the percentages listed on websites.

---

Isn't that the point? The numbers we are given, don't add up. Hence, an official share count needs to be done. More shares are being traded, than exist. Unfortunately, there isn't a site or place we can go to get accurate numbers. All we can do is put various pieces together, in order to see the whole picture.

Here's the most recent date on interest fees charged against short interest in AMC.

If the price of the stock is falling, why is the rate going up?

they were debating whether to sell at $50 or $100

before long they'll be debating whether to sell at $5 or $7

I'm not an expert, but I'm pretty sure they don't need to do whatever you're suggesting is the reason for some official share census. I think that the information we have at hand with options orders is enough to paint a clear and accurate picture.

Utilization is right at 100%. For a share to be shorted, it has to be "borrowed". You cannot borrow more shares than exist. That is called "naked shorting". It is illegal now, but still very common. GME was shorted at 143%. The failure to deliver on expired put options was very high, and it is speculated that was due to tons of synthetic stocks. I posted the most recent borrow rate, and it seems to support that reasoning.

AMC knows exactly how many shares exist. They tell you that when they report their shares outstanding.

More shares are being traded, than exist.

By what metric?

This is a good read, with factual numbers, concerning the moves by hedges.

You've gotta stop using Reddit as your only source of information on your stocks. Also, if any of what they're saying is true in terms of what institutional investors can do or are doing, it's something they've been able to do and can do on any stock. AMC is not unique, other than still being way overvalued.

And therein lies the rub. Virtually all of the stuff you've brought here from Reddit has either been debunked, explained away, is outdated, or is making conclusions that are not logical or realistic based on the data itself.
