“if eBay rejects the deal, the unwind of merger-related shorts could trigger a squeeze.”

🚨 SILVER DOWN 10% IN MINUTES. NOW WE KNOW WHY 📉
That violent 10% candle wasn't retail selling. It was a forced liquidation event.
News confirmed: A major bank blew up its Silver Futures position at 2:00 AM from a missed margin call.
$34B Emergency Fed Injection + Forced Liquidation Algorithm triggered.
When a whale this big gets taken out, the market dumps everything to cover the hole. That’s why we saw the 10% wipeout.
Silver ripped to $40.75 (+2.6%) while $GME closed at $22.41 after a textbook Friday pin… but zoom out 👀
Every major silver breakout since 2021 has front-ran a $GME explosion.
Chart shows it plain: silver spikes → $GME ignition.
Now, silver just broke $40 again while $GME sits coiled tight into Sept 9 earnings.
History says silver leads, $GME follows. 🔥

IMPORTANT: For those that didn't watch Richard Newton's $GME channel, he recently uncovered a can kicking theory based on the NSCC's rulebook, which allows failed trades to exist in the NSCC's Obligations Warehouse (OW) as ex-CNS failed trades (equity, options, etc.) or "Special Trades" between broker dealers per the NSCC Rulebook, pages 112/113.
I personally believe this is largely in part of what's going on with GameStop's cycles and WHY these fails were forced to close in May of 2024 when TDs accounts merged with Schwab (forced closure of old positions).
I am only sharing this in good faith to Richard's theory. He worked incredibly hard to uncover things that very few people know about the markets.
He will be sorely missed, but never forgotten for his tireless work.
BREAKING: SEC acting chairman Mark Uyeda has ordered SEC staff to review RULES related to ‘liquidity’ after a recommendation from DOGE 🚨
From CF Disclosure Guidance: Topic No. 9A:
“Have you accessed revolving lines of credit or raised capital in the public or private markets to address your liquidity needs? Are your disclosures regarding these actions and any unused liquidity sources providing investors with a complete discussion of your financial condition and liquidity?”
WHOA.
Confirmed: TD Securities (USA) LLC was the sole Initial Purchaser of GameStop’s $1.5B convertible note offering.
Translation? Canada just plugged Wall Street into a 69 million-share exposure cannon...aimed straight at the heart of short sellers.
TD now holds the keys to GME’s institutional allocation, and they didn’t sign up for this gig unless they saw upside. Big upside.
This isn’t a joke. This is how a squeeze institutionalizes.

BREAKING: Rep. Maxine Waters sent a new panicked letter to Acting SEC Chair Mark Uyeda over DOGE investing the SEC.
She says she is ‘deeply disturbed’ that DOGE has ‘infiltrated the SEC’ and warns that it could cause manipulation in the markets.
The irony here is that Waters oversaw the committee that investigated Robinhood’s $HOOD role in shutting off the buy button on $GME - and dished out no penalty of any kind.
I think she has real reason to be worried — not the retail investor.
GameStop $GME and the Anatomy of a Potential Trap: 🪤
How Convertible Bonds & the “Red Swap” theory by @rnewton7777 may have caused an endgame scenario.
Breaking down Newton’s thesis, convertible arbitrage mechanics, and where this move might take GameStop next.
A thread:🧵
$GME Let me explain to you why GameStop is falling today, as far as I understand based on my $MSTR experience:
1: When MSTR issued convertible notes, institutional buyers used convertible arbitrage:
•They bought the bonds
•Shorted MSTR stock to hedge
•Waited for the bond to either convert or mature
•This created artificial short pressure on MSTR even as the company was bullish on BTC. ✔️
Example:
In 2021, MSTR issued $1.05B of 0% convertible notes , the stock dipped after the announcement due to hedging shorts, but later exploded when Bitcoin ripped and the arbitrage unspooled. 🤝
2. Now that this is out of the way:
GME is following the same blueprint now:
•Issue $1.3B in 0% convertibles
•Likely going to buy Bitcoin
•Institutions are now shorting GME to hedge
•If GME or BTC goes up a lot, the trade gets very interesting as we have a squeeze opportunity here. ✔️
3. A common practice is to short 50–70% of the bond’s notional value in stock.
They make money on the arbitrage between the bond conversion price and the stock price, even if the stock stays flat or drops. ✔️
4. VWAP pricing window behavior, they’ll want the stock low to get favorable conversion.
Conversion price will be based on $GME’s VWAP (volume weighted average price) from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM EDT on the pricing day. 🤝
Happy to hear your thoughts. ☺️
