i guess we’ll disagree there. i’m sure the big boys are playing the swings but they didn’t start this. and it’s not just Gamestop it’s a lot of names.

The models for any short selling have just imploded. I’d imagine a lot of low-capitalized short sellers just exited a lot of positions and won’t take any for a while.
“Holding until it’s over” now means having enough capital for 100x any short position you take. That limits how much you can short.
