What's gonna stop the hedgies from just not covering their shorts next week to keep the stock from surging?
Shorts don't expire, and while there's interest, it doesn't cost nearly as much to pay this interest as it would to cover shorts.
They can literally just cover their shorts bit by bit over the next 1 or 2 years and gamestop won't go any higher.

Expect a really uneventful next week.

i think there is a group of paid shills that probably started to infect this place around 2017(after trump). pretty sure the people posting about silver are the same people spamming the anti GME threads, dogecoin threads, other random cryptos, and finally, most of the anti trump threads back in 19/20. they have the same patterns and 'nuances' in their posting. not really attempting to bring any logic into the conversation (not that you get it on here anyway). i think this group just gets paid to shill whatever is being asked from them and they know how to appeal to larpers. i say this because there is an exceptional amount of larping cunts on here whom i believe drool at the chance to jump on the newest theme, and they basically do it for free! doubling the paid shills efforts at no extra cost..

amyway you’re assuming the price wont continue to rise. it’s not just about interest, the worldwide news has been shilling this nonstop so it looks like the price will go up even more, which means they have to keep putting in money to not get liquidated. knowing these kikes, they’ll probably double down and short even more.

assuming 70m shares outstanding, 140% shorted, so lets say 100 million shares shorted, every $10 price increase is another $1 billion dollars more they need in collareral? is that right? not just melvin but all the shorters together.

But people needed time to register with a broker that would actually let them buy GME. How many actually follow through with that may or may not be disappointing though. The biggest hope is if rivals jump on board and inter-HF conflict gets staged over it.

Silver threads have been here long before 2017.
You really think that a group of Citadel shills somehow predicted a short squeeze on Gamestop and thought "what if we shill silver for 3 years first?"
Also, Citadel owns SLV stock, they don't benefit from people buying physical silver, and all of the silver threads here routinely state "DO NOT BUY SLV!"

buying them back at a slow pace to keep GME from going above 350 is the more cost efficient choice.
