There are only 5 days to cover 97,000,000 shares sold short, which is 75% of the float. Do with that what you will.

Calls are absolutely dirt cheap right now as well. This could easily go to $3+ next week.

Here are my positions, not financial advice:

HTZ $2 calls 14Aug2026 x 500
HTZ $2.5 calls 14Aug2026 x 500
HTZ shares x 10,000
