WhyDRS

The FTD data suggest they are in fact closing their shorts. There is very little FTD happening in GME's FTD data.

They are able to close thier shorts if infinite liquidity allows them to open two new shorts perpetually. Every time they close, they just open two more. This way they keep getting more money and more time.

50,000 or maybe 100,000 on a bad day. That seems like a lot to a retail investor, but that's nothing when the float is officially 265 million. It's actually very low as a percentage of the float.

For the record - because of infinite liquidity there is actually much more than 265 million shares of GME in circulation. That means this level of FTD is piddly small. Absolutely tiny.

But we know that the short sellers have huge short positions based on the short volume being over 50% every day for years on end.

How can the short volume be so high, and the FTD's be so low, for years? This is possible because they are closing their shrots but they are able to short sell an infinite amount of shares.

Apes have limited buying power. Hege funds have unlimited short selling power.

To extrapolate further consequences from infinite liquidity:

options are useless. Any attempt to move the price by gamma squeeze just gets washed out with a larger amount of short selling. It's possible the hedge funds were taken by surprise in January 2021, but they're watching closely now and they won't let it happen again.

TA is useless. Sure we can look at short volume and options data and draw lines on a whiteboard. But any time we predict a MOASS they will just short sell more on that date and there won't be a MOASS.

How to MOASS? Audit the DTCC. The only way we win is if there is a short selling ban on GME. The ban would have to last for years and force all short sales to close without any opportunity to roll over the short by just shorting more.

I'd like to see more discussion about this.

All these people saying "that's just FTD's" or "you're just describing FTD's" no I'm not. You're not understanding the consequences of infinite liquidity.

Let me ask you this. How can short volume be over 50% for years on end?

How can GME's FTD data show so few FTD's, for years on end?

Both of the above are true. But that's only possible when there is a lot more short selling than shares being purchased at market by investors.

Meaning apes have limited buying power, but hedge funds have unlimited short selling power.

This is why our stock keeps crabbing downhill.

It rises a little, and then gradually fades away.

That is short sellers buying to close and then short selling x2

Infinite liquidity causes stock dilution, which is theft.

Audit the DTCC.

Don't know why I'm being downvoted here. Please check out the reddit thread too.

I used to think FTDs were the issue and now technically I don't think FTDs are the issue (hint colloquially FTDS are the problem). I believe the key to all of this stems from nuances and the real issue is there can be more entitlements than total shares issued by the company.

The way I understand is that FTD are a symptom of infinite liquidity for what they are unable to close out. When there is huge action and more buys are going on this is when they lose control and we see more FTD.

In the congressional hearing they even mention that infinite liquidity is just part of the system as they try to allow everyone to buy.

They have had years to learn how to hide their crime. It’s a mix of PFOF, FTD, swaps and probably much more that we have yet to uncover that allows them to hide it all from both us and the SEC. The issue is they have the tools and with both a hedge fund and a market maker branch are able to internalize everything in their system preventing outside eyes. Are there other metrics that we are missing? Is the Consolidated audit Trail (CAT) not enough and have loop holes we have not noticed. What about the netting system?

The only way we are able to find out and take away liquidity is to DRS. Eliminate the middleman and take back ownership

The only way this can crash is if we can prove there aren't any more shares. When all shares are accountable outside the DTCC it's over, no matter what.
