Unironically, I think this time Shorts really are Fukt
I think they are between a rock and hard place after this earnings results and share buyback authorization.
They have 2 choices, 1, continue to suppress the price at what is or soon will be very undervalued prices (this earnings beat is huge, if only because Revenue growth is finally on the menu). DD writers putting a value on GME have always failed to acknowledge wall street values companies, largely on Revenue and/or Revenue growth. This is the beginning of the big boys and their algorithms taking notice. At which point if they keep it suppressed we buy back shares at undervalued prices squeezing out shorts.
Or, 2, they let the price run, probably slowly, and GME likely gets eBay at much better "price" than anticipated.
I 1000% understand why the eBay play happened when it did now, and I have never been more bullish.
Edit: not saying a squeeze is eminent. In fact i expect any short unwinding to happen slowly (over multiple quarters). May be explosive but dont be an idiot and bet on that. But I am very confident this is the beginning of the end.
