Are you sick and tired of just barely tailing behind the bigger guy? What if I told you there was a way to DECREASE your opponents advantage? What would you say to an extra couple billion dollars in clientele to manage? HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO MOVE UP THE LIST IN RANKINGS?

There is a simple solution, you three hedge funds are just under the value of Citadel. As you are fully aware at this point, Citadel is slowly bleeding out on the short spear trap that blew up in their own faces.

You can take their place in the rankings.

You can take their crown and fortunes that follow.

You can take a massive payday as well...

You may be wondering at this point "what do we need to do?"

This part is easy, you know what is going to happen when Citadel folds, they have to cover their short positions.

All you three have to decide is, which of you will take their place? There is enough wealth under managment in any single one of you to force a marginal call at any point on Citadel under any one of your funds.

Take your crown, take your money, take your seat higher in the rankings of powerful hedge funds.

The DD is done. You know what to do, while you watch your competition fade into bankruptcy.

You deserve this. Why should they be ranked higher than you? After all, YOUR fund is not the one shorting with illegal naked shorts? You would be a saviour of the markets.

You have the power to absorb their power. Asked yourself, your staff, your clientele, do they want the biggest payday the market has ever seen?

This is not financial advice, just food for thought. Think about it, we will just be hodling like always.

Yours truly, the dumbest ape on reddit.

Imagine a world,

Welcome to the world of leverage!

While researching for my last article, I came across this interesting survey that highlighted the increasing use of leverage by retail investors. The key part that stood out was

>40% of investors said they have taken on debt to invest, including 80% of Gen Zers, 60% of millennials, 28% of Gen Xers.

80% of Gen-Z borrowing money to invest seems to be very high. And it's not like they are taking inconsequential amounts.

>Of those who took on debt to invest, nearly half (46%) borrowed $5,000 or more.

While I am not questioning the outcomes from their survey [1], I ran a similar survey in my subreddit with drastically different results. As you can see below, only around 13% of the responders have used borrowed funds while investing in the market [2]

https://preview.redd.it/l2zy9pdpjx381.png?width=596&format=png&auto=webp&s=a54e2512f105bd2e659ff3b16a08c8e43d528b11

No matter the variations in the results, the key insight is that a large number of retail investors are using leverage while investing. So in this week’s analysis, let’s do a deep dive into the world of leverage.

Leverage - A double-edged sword!

>Having a large amount of leverage is like driving a car with a dagger on the steering wheel pointed at your heart. If you do that, you will be a better driver. There will be fewer accidents but when they happen, they will be fatal - Warren Buffet

For those unfamiliar with the concept, investing with leverage is very simple.

Let’s say that you had $10K in your brokerage account. You have a high conviction stock that you think is going to have a very good return in the next year and want to invest more than $10K in the said equity. You can take another $10K as a loan from your brokerage staking your entire position as collateral.

Assume the stock went up 10% over the next month and you exit the position.

This is the magic of leverage. You used a 2:1 leverage on your investment and doubled your return. (It won’t exactly be double as you have to pay some amount as interest for the money lent to you. I have ignored it for ease of understandi

Atobitt made some great DD. House of Cards 1-3. Everything Short. Classics. However, part 2 and 3 of HoC felt incomplete. No offense to the man, no offense to the data. I think it is spot on, i think we all know what to do. HODL.

But, I am here to add this, somewhat controversial, somewhat illuminating piece of information. I hesitate to post this because I don't want to insinuate there are other plays. There are not. i want to be clear- this is in no way intended to diminish, nor will it, your desire to do nothing more but BUY AND HODL. Ready for it? it's not even much of a surprise...

its not just GME.

Several Hedge Funds like Citadel, Melvin, Highfields, etc... develop a significant position in certain companies they like. The big boys. Now, when Atobitt said it was the Everything Short he fucking meant it is the EVERYTHING SHORT. So for the sake or brevity, i will only focus on a select few. namely,we are going to be discussing some rather interesting connections between amazon, netflix, target and GME and the like. This is going to be a bit of a swim, so please bear with me. let us dive in

Recently, Netflix has been rumored to be entering the video game industry. https://www.polygon.com/22447410/netflix-executive-games-expansion-the-information-report

And, as you know, Amazon recently purchased MGM studios. https://www.cnbc.com/2021/05/26/amazon-to-buy-mgm-studios-for-8point45-billion.html

Now i am sure it doesn't take a few crayons to see our big boy GME is in the video game industry, and little brother AMC, is in the movie biz. Okay. I see that connection. Let's divert a bit and look into some other connections. i turn your attention to Kevin Turner https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B._Kevin_Turner:

"Kevin Turner is an American businessman and investor who is currently the chairman of Zayo Group and the vice chairman of Albertsons/Safeway .He previously served as the COO of Microsoft from 2005 to 2016. Prior to joining Microsoft, Turner was the CEO of Sam's Club and the CIO of Walmart. He is also the former Vice Chairman of Citadel LLC and CEO of Citadel Securities "

wow okay, citadel connection, sure. but what's Zayo Group? From: [https://finance.yahoo.com/news/were-hedge-funds-flocking-zayo-190533381.html](https:/

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

Preface

So, I went down a pretty big rabbit hole while casually researching the economic collapse of 2008 and who the winners and losers were, and I thought there were some pretty significant things here that reinforce what we’ve been theorizing, researching, and advocating against since January. What’s happening now, as we well know now, is simply a sequel to Part I of the saga in abusive securities lending practices and naked short selling. After the House of Cards collapsed the first time, the SEC held a roundtable discussion – consisting of two panels – on securities lending and short sales with financial industry experts to attempt to put a stop to the colossal fuckery after Lehman Brothers filed for bankruptcy. Let me back up here for a second.

On September 15, 2008, Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. filed for chapter 11 protection in New York. This constituted the largest bankruptcy filing in U.S. history, with Lehman holding nearly $700 billion in assets. At the time of the bankruptcy filings, Lehman was the fourth-largest investment bank in the U.S. They were faced with unprecedented losses in 2008 due to the subprime-mortgage crisis, and it was at that time Timothy F. Geithner, the president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, called a meeting on September 12, 2008, to discuss Lehman's future, including the possibility of an emergency liquidation.

On the day that Lehman filed for bankruptcy, sometimes referred to as "Ugly Monday," the Dow Jones Industrial Average closed down just over 500 points, resulting in the SEC's “prohibition” of naked short selling and a three-week temporary ban on all short selling of financial stocks.

But how did the SEC get to that point? On Wednesday, September 30, 2009, the SEC held a roundtable on securities lending and short sales at their headquarters in Washington, D.C. Two panel discussions were held during a morning session and an afternoon session. Below, I’ve abbreviated sections of the full transcript of the first panel session for easier reading. Feel free to check out the full transcript if you’re curious, but for the sake of character limits, I’ve only included the most salac
