Re: GameStop
Zit met een vraag: men schrijft dat de gekte toe te schrijven is aan de geldverruimende politiek door de Am. overheid.
Maar hoe is dat geld in handen gekomen van de beleggers ? Heb van dat manna alleszins niets gemerkt en ben nog even arm als voordien.

Re: GameStop
Men doelt op de corona stimulus, waarbij veel amerikanen wat geld kregen, de laatste ronde was 600 onder Trump (die zei dat het 2000 moest worden, en dat de deal belachelijk was). Biden heeft er dan 1400 bovenop gedaan, zodat ze tot 2000 kwamen.
Maar er zijn nog 1 or 2 van die rondjes geweest, velen zeggen dat mensen het krijgen die het niet nodig hebben. Dan kopen ze onozelheden op amazon of investeren ze op de beurs.
Het is gewoon de stem van rechts die zegt: stop met geld uitdelen, zie je wel wat er van komt.

Hoe de short squeeze een onvoorzien neveneffect heeft: de geshorte bedrijven, die geshort worden omdat de vooruitzichten slecht zijn, versterken zich door eigen aandelen te verkopen
The Reddit Army Bailout: Desperate Companies Get New Lifelines
American, AMC were among the biggest U.S. distressed borrowers
Now they’re raising millions as their stock prices surge
Watch: Silver surged at the week’s open as the Reddit-inspired frenzy that roiled stock markets last week spills over into commodities.
It’s the kind of rescue that the most indebted companies in America can only dream of: a fresh injection of cash that doesn’t hurt their already depressed stock price or load even more costly debt onto their balance sheet.
Yet thanks to the army of day traders who use Reddit to tout and bid up out-of-favor stocks and squeeze short sellers, firms such as American Airlines Group Inc. and AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc. have found themselves on the receiving end of just such a lifeline.
Both took steps over the past week to sell hundreds of millions of dollars worth of shares and secure much-needed liquidity. Besides the companies themselves, there’s perhaps no bigger winner from the massive stroke of good fortune than their creditors. Just weeks ago many were staring at the possibility of significant losses as pandemic-fueled slumps had traders betting up the odds of default. Now the companies are suddenly in a position to raise fresh piles of cash to weather the storm, and could even use the funds to start paying down debt.
“We certainly didn’t have a row for ‘surprise equity offering’ in our AMC model,” said Bill Housey, a senior portfolio manager at First Trust Advisors, who used to own AMC debt but fully sold out of his position in recent days. “Companies that were otherwise facing real financial challenges are finding an unexpected source of capital.”
American Airlines declined to comment on their share sale beyond a Friday regulatory filing, while AMC didn’t respond to requests seeking comment.
It’s no coincidence that some of the most troubled borrowers are now the ones benefiting the most from the retail-driven rallies. Their huge debt loads, combined with the devastating impact that Covid-19 has had on their ability to generate revenue, were among the reasons their stocks were so heavily shorted in the first place.
American Airlines revealed plans on Friday to sell as much as $1.1 billion of stock through what is known as an at-the-market program, which allows companies to issue additional shares at market prices. The announcement came after their stock was up as much as 38% at its peak last week.
Just a couple days earlier, AMC said it had raised more than $300 million through a similar program. Investment firm Silver Lake, one of the company’s main creditors, also seized on AMC’s surge to convert $600 million of bonds into equity, before selling the shares in the open market for a gain of over $100 million.
The movie theater operator, whose stock soared 278% last week, is considering additional share sales, Bloomberg previously reported.
Facing pressure to address the recent moves, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Friday said it’s evaluating the “extreme price volatility” of certain stocks and is working to identify potential wrongdoing. It added that companies “must ensure compliance with federal securities laws for any contemplated offers or sales of their own securities.”

Most companies benefiting from the surge in their stock prices should consider taking similar steps, especially if they face near-term debt maturities or have liquidity challenges, according to Lloyd Sprung, head of debt advisory and restructuring at UBS Investment Bank.
“They can use the cash to pay down debt, selectively fund open-market debt repurchases, tenders or targeted exchange offers,” he said.
American Airlines, the most indebted major U.S. carrier, paid 11.75% in June to raise $2.5 billion via the bond market, and resorted to equity offerings and convertible notes to raise billions of dollars of additional liquidity.
AMC, for its part, earlier this month secured a 400 million pound ($547 million) loan tied to its Odeon Cinemas unit that pays a rate of 10.75% in the first year before climbing to 11.25%. The deal is part of the $917 million the company has assembled since mid-December as it tries to stay solvent until vaccines bring back moviegoers.
After rallying the past four days, American Airlines’ 5% unsecured notes due June 2022 now yield less than 1,000 basis points more than similar-maturity Treasuries for the first time since March 2020. AMC’s benchmark 12% bonds due 2026, meanwhile, have climbed from about 22 cents on the dollar at year-end to 74 cents on Friday, though they still yield over 18%.
Traders are now keeping their eyes on other Reddit picks, such as GameStop Corp., Express Inc., Bed Bath & Beyond Inc., and Naked Brand Group Ltd., for potential stock sales after shares further extended run-ups on Friday.
“It’s just so fortuitous,” said First Trust’s Housey. “While the trades may have hurt the shorts, in many names they helped the creditors.”

Filmpje van +10 jaar oud dat handelt over een mogelijk systeemfalen bij een short squeeze gecombineerd met 'Failure to delivers', waar de SEC voor vreest: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JKc0KQvvfWE
Tweette Burry een tijdje geleden niet dat het weken duurde om zijn aandelen te vinden toen hij een recall deed?
Het zou mij niet verbazen als de SEC ingrijpt deze week... Maar hoe zouden ze deze mess opkuisen

Cruciaal om weten hoe het zit met de lending status van enkele grote aandeelhouders.
Zit Cohen zijn pakket uit te lenen en klaar om ze terug te roepen? Dan kan die man met één druk op de knop Wall Street in complete chaos storten.

Net zoals de banken elkaar deden omvallen in 2008 in een kettingreactie, is het inderdaad niet uitgesloten dat zich iets dergelijks voordoet in dit geval.

De nagel in dit geval: één partij die de effecten niet kan leveren.

Melvin Capital hedge fund was $12,5 miljard eind vorig jaar.
Nu is het nog $8 miljard, en dat is inclusief de injectie van $2,75 miljard die ze al gekregen hebben.
Hebben dus op een maand meer dan 50% van hun waarde zien verdwijnen.

Robinhood zit nog steeds in de problemen. Ze hebben moeite om het nodige geld te vinden dat als collateral moet dienen bij de clearing houses om de transacties te garanderen.
Je mag hoogstens één Gamestop aandeel kopen, inclusief wat je al hebt
Als Robinhood beursgenoteerd was, dan zou het nu zwaar geshort worden
Robinhood slims restricted list to 8 stocks, but users can still only buy 1 share of GameStop
Online brokerage continues to limit purchases of most volatile stocks
Robinhood said the trading limits "may be subject to change throughout the day."
Robinhood is narrowing its list of restricted stocks, but will still impose limits on buying shares of heavily shorted GameStop Corp. and AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc. when trading opens Monday.
On its website, the online brokerage on Sunday adjusted its list of restricted stocks from 50 to eight: GameStop GME, +67.87%, AMC AMC, +53.65%, BlackBerry Ltd. BB, -3.75%, Express Inc. EXPR, +27.66%, Genius Brands International Inc. GNUS, -9.64%, Koss Corp. KOSS, +52.53%, Naked Brand Group NAKD, +18.71% and Nokia Corp. NOK, -2.77%.

Per the limits, Robinhood users can only buy one share of GameStop (and up to five options contracts), and up to 10 of AMC (and 10 options contracts).
“Please note that these are aggregate limits for each security and not per-order limits, and include shares and options contracts that you already hold,” Robinhood said. “These limits may be subject to change throughout the day.”

Re: GameStop
Helaas alleen in handen van de Amerikaanse beleggers

Alhoewel: als de US beurzen hierdoor stijgen, en we hebben directe of indirecte beleggingen in de US beurzen, dan worden we ook rijker.
Weliswaar niet vergeten uit te stappen voor de zeepbel barst. Geen idee wanneer, maar het IMF heeft ervoor gewaarschuwd, en dat zijn geen dwazeriken.
