Jack and Wen
Why are so many people pushing for WEN when it appears JACK is positioned for a better short squeeze, am I missing something here?
Already Showing Squeeze Momentum: Multiple sources report JACK shares have surged approximately 45% over five trading days with headlines like "Jack in the Box shares extend rally as short squeeze gathers momentum"
Higher Short Float: At ~35-37%, more shares are sold short relative to float compared to WEN's ~32%
Smaller Market Cap: At $328M versus WEN's $1.64B, JACK requires less capital to move the price significantly—a classic condition for successful squeezes
Longer Days to Cover: 10.6 days means if a squeeze develops, there's substantially more forced buying pressure needed as shorts scramble to exit positions simultaneously
