I don't know if the fact that there's not much buying/selling action going on is a good or bad thing. I would think it's a good thing with the impending squeeze if everyone just holds, but Citron must have one final desperation play going on behind the scenes.

And why would they?

At this point people know that the shorters are required to buy starting today, so they aren’t going to sell until the price peaks and the shorts start to get covered.

Right, theoretically if NO ONE was selling, wouldn't the bid price just keep ticking up until people finally started buying?

UK Freetrade was forced to halt trades and are deeply unhappy with the sudden decision. Big institutions getting fricked right now. This is big.

What time can we expect it to start raining men in suits?

The desperation play is probably a federal bailout of the hedge funds and brokers under the same auspices of the 2008 administration.

It happening in the opening month of a new administration vs the waning days of a lame duck administration makes a huge difference in how this could be handled.

Yes. Either the balloon pops or regulators step in.

Not sure, but not for the reasons you think.

Most big buildings like this intentionally block roof access and the ability to open windows for this reason. On top of that, the pandemic has pulled what remaining traders were on the floor off of it, meaning that these guys are likely at small offices somewhere instead of in a Manhattan skyscraper.

Could be as soon as today, or as late as next week into infinity if you hold. Barring an intervention

Which is what supposedly happened yesterday right when there was the stop in RH traffic and the price crashed.

Supposedly the stock price hit infinite because there was a ton of demand and no supply. And someone’s sell order at 2500+ actually executed.

Jim Cramer now no longer “on the side” of retail investors?

I've been on the sidelines for this the entire time. (Kicking myself each step of the way).

But I can't decide if I should jump in or not.

Holy shite, this really is so much bigger than Melvin Capital going belly up. This may end up being a complete system failure

Much like the past election, the total lack of faith in the system to be honest is going to be a killer.
