@Smeagol1211 @Rothmus Wasn't the government subsidizing the price to guarantee the farmers a certain amount per gallon too?

Trading is the hardest path nobody respects.

You sacrifice years.

You fight your own mind every single day.

You lose money and sleep.

You feel broken more times than you can count.

You keep showing up anyway.

That is why traders end up rich and free.

So in the last ~48 hours:

✅ https://t.co/LCUMbBv4aC is replaced with "Opening soon."
✅ Bill Pulte became Acting National Director of Intelligence.
✅ $GME dropped earnings early without a formal announcement.
✅ $GME announced their most profitable quarter in company history, as well as share buybacks.

What's next? 👀

Today’s lesson: Be careful who you try to psyop, you never know if they’re gonna be Directors of National Intelligence one day.

@Hey_ross This might be a big deal. 🙏🏻

@RJ74120113 Be careful who you help. I learned this the hard way, a few times.

@idealideas Excellent read. This summer is getting more interesting by the minute.

Here is some AI slop on why IPOs all timed around each other could impact the markets huge and force squeezes on thin floats creating potential short squeezes

Multiple large IPOs around the same time (like hypothetical mega-deals for SpaceX, Freddie Mac, and another high-profile name) can create upward price pressure that disproportionately hurts short sellers through mechanical buying, limited borrow supply, and broader market reallocation effects. This isn’t guaranteed to “break” anything outright, but it can amplify volatility, squeeze shorts, and ripple into baskets/derivatives.

Why IPOs Are Tough for Short Sellers to Begin With
•Limited shares and borrow availability early on: IPOs start with a relatively small public float. Underwriters often restrict lending for ~30 days, and there’s low overall supply for borrowing. Shorting right after listing is hard or expensive (high borrow fees). Many IPOs pop on hype/day-1 enthusiasm, forcing early shorts to cover at losses.
•High initial optimism and constraints: Short-sale constraints in the aftermarket can let prices stay elevated longer than fundamentals might justify, as pessimistic views (shorting) can’t easily counter retail/institutional buying. Studies show short sellers target some IPOs but face challenges with small offerings or high divergence of opinion.23
How Multiple Major IPOs Amplify This (Especially Mega Ones)
With big names like SpaceX (potentially $1T+ valuation) hitting around the same time as others, several dynamics kick in:
1Forced Passive Buying and Index Inclusion:
◦Index providers (Nasdaq, S&P, FTSE Russell) have adjusted or proposed faster-track rules for mega-IPOs to include them in benchmarks like the Nasdaq-100 or S&P 500 much sooner (e.g., after 5–15 trading days instead of months).
◦Trillions in passive/index funds and ETFs must buy to match the index. For a giant IPO with a thin initial float, this creates concentrated demand against limited supply → sharp price spikes.57
◦Shorts betting on post-IPO “reality check” or overvaluation get squeezed as prices rise mechanically. This resembles a short squeeze: rising prices → margin calls/covering → more buying → higher prices.67
2Portfolio Rebalancing Across the Market:
◦Funds selling existing holdings (e.g., other big tech or “Magnificent 7” names) to raise cash for the new IPOs. This can depress other stocks, but the net effect for the IPO names themselves is often strong upward pressure initially.
◦With 3+ majors at once, the capital rotation is larger and more chaotic. Active managers and retail also pile in on hype, adding fuel. Early investors/insiders eventually sell (post-lockup), but the initial phase favors bulls.19
3Impact on Baskets (ETFs/Index Products):
◦Yes, this can stress or “break” basket mechanics temporarily. ETFs use creation/redemption with authorized participants (APs) and baskets of securities. Thin-float mega-IPOs make it hard for APs to source shares efficiently for creations. This leads to premiums, tracking errors, or reliance on derivatives/swaps for hedging.
◦Multiple simultaneous inclusions amplify rebalancing flows, increasing volatility in underlying baskets. Market makers might front-run or use options to manage risk, which can exaggerate moves.

Derivatives Effects:
◦Higher volatility and implied vols: Big IPOs and index changes boost options activity (hedging, gamma squeezes from dealers). This affects index options/futures too.
◦Ripple into broader derivatives: Funds hedging index exposure or using swaps/futures for the new names can move related contracts. If shorts are using puts or inverse products, those can get expensive or whipsaw.
◦In extreme cases, liquidity strains or failed deliveries (FTDs) in the new stocks could spill into related derivatives or ETF arbitrage

That half second where an interesting post flashes by, you go “wait, what was that,” and the timeline refreshes it into oblivion

@ThePPseedsShow @pulte Happy Birthday Sir! You gained my attention when I realized you had become a modern day Percy Ross. May God forever keep you Blessed! 🙏🏻😊

1/ On Oct 25, 2024, Ryan Cohen posted one word on X: “yolo” — then deleted it. The same day, GME filed an amended 10-Q containing language about the BBBY bankruptcy estate owning a “Baby” acquisition entity. Coincidence? Let’s dig. 🧵👇 $GME $BBBYW
