I'd say most of the wallstreetbets traders still believe Melvin has their position, but you're saying otherwise. Though the still extremely high short interested doesn't seem to make sense if the big losers already exited...
I do. This will make partners out of a solid suite of securities lawyers around the country. But we won't have clear answers for at least another 6 months.
Also, from what people are saying on WSB, there's no liquidity left in the market which is why some platforms halted trading for $GME.
If the early shorts were all out I wouldn't expect a lack of liquidity, since more recent short positions wouldn't be under as much pressure.
I'm a complete noob, but it seems like literally no one can agree on what's happening and why even though there seem to be valid arguments on all sides.
Lots of people are short? I know at least half a dozen people who bought puts over the last few days. Those puts hedge into shorting the same way calls turn into buying.
