This explains it

The “short interest” is very factual and if you are not able to corroborate that on your own someone else will have to chime in

The cows are GME shares. The repeated sale of cows corresponds to short interest in GME greater than the number of available shares.

Hope that answers your question. To me, that's the central claim of the OP.

the only thing resembling a "claim" is greater than 100% short interest on the security. This information is public https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NYSE/GME/short-interest/

As of this comment, it's 134%. So, 134 cows are borrowed from a base of 100.

Are there any claims in that post?

Yeah. It read just as a simplified explainer of shorting.

"Claim" seems like the wrong word. It's explaining shorts, but I think it's actually doing it inaccurately. It's saying the hedge fund will have to buy the cows at the end of the month. I don't think that's accurate. I don't think shorts ever expire.

Well, that "Hedge-fund cries foul" (which I've questioned in a direct reply, let's keep that discussion over there).

I'm not making claims, if that's what you mean. The burden of proof is on the person I was replying to.

There is no burden of proof on anyone. The person was simply explaining a concept, known as a short squeeze.

A short squeeze is a well known financial concept. It is not a claim. It is a concept.

was there a double blind study proving the existence of cows in the first place? I don't want to be mislead.

hilarious, given i just came from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25928183

You might have missed it, but the cows are the facts, Jack.

No claims, just explaining how shorts work.

Just google "GME Short Float". I would also suggest not using so strong language and almost accuse someone, without at least googling the info.

What are you defining as "these claims"?
