** 28-Jan-2021 World View: Reddit masses

The masses know how much volume would be required (approximately) to complete the unwind. The reason I say approximately is the short position at some point in recent time is known but all of the volume since that known date and number of shares can't be pinned down as to what exactly it was, but it can be estimated fairly closely, I would think.

I think you're describing the Reddit "masses" in waaaay too rational
terms. You say the masses know how much volume whatever. Maybe a
few do. But I don't think that the masses will know much of anything.
I think they're playing with the same irrational emotions as the
current bitcoin craze.

You are correct. I read on the other thread that Mark Cuban offered his expertise. The Q and A with Cuban shows the Reddit crowd was unable to put the pieces of the puzzle together.

Hey Mark, this all started because the short interest was around 140%. We are seeing today GME has dipped considerably because it is being reported that the short interest has dipped to 50% or lower. However, the volume numbers haven’t spiked to suggest the shorts are covering their positions. What’s going on? Is this fake news?

The amount of volume to cover the shorts was tiny compared to the amount of volume in the stock on a daily basis.

Meaning they clearly covered, or meaning they clearly did not cover?

I think you’re saying the former, but with such a high short rate, combined with incredible demand from the retail side, wouldn’t the price have gone even higher? I know Robinhood had an affect on this but the math still isn’t adding up for me.

God help them if they try to battle the banks in the silver market.

If supplies get tight, I can envision is that the authorities will shut this off. I don't know how successfully that can be done. On the exchange, the only choice is the 5,000 ounce contract, I believe. Last I knew the 1,000 ounce exchange traded contract was cash settled. But it's been awhile since I've done this. If someone wants to buy off the exchange, they can go to an illiquid nearby month, buy the 5,000 ounce contract (sufficient cash would need to be in the account), tell the broker they want to take delivery, get the warehouse receipt, then go to the Comex warehouse and pick up the goods.

The retail crowd should avoid the paper market in my opinion.

So right now there is a February contract.

First notice day is January 29 and they can wait to be delivered on after that date.

I made a mistake when writing the above. The deliverable contract is 5,000 ounces, and that consists of five 1,000 ounce bars, if I remember right, not a 5,000 ounce bar as had been incorrectly stated above.

I'm shorting the S&P now. Maybe I'll get lucky.

There is a gap just above 3840 and I reckon sellers will surface here as you have done. If it holds here for a few days then next level up. I am watching but not in yet. very good luck Higg.

Thanks. There were 5 closes in a row in the 3840-60 zone before the market dropped. As to whether the market can hold this area, there has been similar in the recent past, late September and early October 2018 being an example. I'm not trying to sell the idea. Not quite 30% of my account is short. A March top seems more likely but if that happens I think I can hold them off for 6 weeks.

You seem to have more sensitive info that I. I can't see the upper gap at 3847 reached and reckoned that might happen today. If so buyers could eye 3860 which you also say was reached. If it goes below 3820 theres a gap at 3780 which might be today's target. My hunch (and its only a hunch and not backed by analysis) is that we have had the top or will happen this week.

[Higgenbotham]

Now that the futures have done their thing overnight, my thinking yesterday was maybe the first time up, the market would not be able to get through the area of the black box with the cluster of 5 closes in a row that were all within that small range. At least not the first time up. Sometimes when a top is made, it will be made that way. April 1930 in the Dow was similar to that.

[Higgenbotham]

April 1930 in the Dow.



In April 1930, some days after the cluster of 5 or 6 closes the market poked back up into the range bordered by those closes, then crashed. One reason a top here looks plausible is we had something similar to the 1929 crash last year, though it didn't really seem like the same thing. Then we had this exaggerated post crash recovery vaguely similar to 1929/1930. But it's different enough to throw people off. There doesn't seem to be anybody saying this is like April 1930 all over again, but it sure feels that way to me.

Agree to a percentage.

Bot pecking results for the past 2 days. I may take a break from bot pecking as I lay in shorts. More pain and losses are to be expected but, like I said, I may be lucky. The second wave of covid does appear to have arrived.

I trust your judgement and yes as we know when not how.
