We know there's been naked shorting due to high Failed to Deliver rates anyway.

The shorts still being in deep shit isn't cope or tinfoil. It's a mathematical fact. There is no other explanation one can logically derive from the data.

>Yes, the physical silver.. But what about the fake paper silver that the banks have shorted? - Won't it just collapse
Well, most of it is in $SLV.
While it is impossible for small fish to redeem $SLV for physical silver, it is supposedly possible for whales to redeem.
We talk about $SLV a lot as paper silver but it didn't really start out that way and isn't technically paper silver. It just effectively is paper silver for most market participants.

If you are an "authorized participant", you have the right to redeem 50000 shares of $SLV for ~46.450 ounces.
This means that if the $SLV and physical silver price decouples too much, "authorized participants" will buy $SLV and demand physical silver delivery so they can profit from the difference in price. This will result in $SLV being "burned" for delivery of physical silver that the iShares Silver Trust has to buy (if they don't have it).
If iShares Silver Trust actually has to buy on the open market, it further increases the silver price, which will further increase the $SLV price because whales will buy it to redeem for silver so long as the difference in price is large enough.
This causes at first a shortsqueeze on the whales are are short $SLV. If iShares Silver Trust is lucky, it will happen fast and hard and the shorts will be forced to cover before iShares Silver trust has to give much physical silver for redemption.

If iShares Silver Trust runs out of silver to deliver and money to buy silver with in this kind of a "run on the silver bank" situation and there's nobody to bail them out, then yeah that is when $SLV gets truly worthless. Most shorts would lose in a squeeze before that "win", though.

>they might actually have a point if short interest was still 140%
It is. There was no way to cover that fast. 122% to 53.5% in a single day And the share price went down by over 30% while retail statistics were over 70/30 buy/sell and big institutions did not sell. Literally impossible.

Anyone denying naked sells, share counterfeiting and so on to hide true short is a confirmed shill or a fucking psychopath messing with people. It's as clear as 2 + 2 = 4

Even before that date, the 1st of february, all the way back in december, they had persistent 1-2% of float as failed to deliver. That's insane. It indicates that even back then when short % of float was over 200%, they had a 10-40% hidden short. The hidden short now must be massive.

>How is the short interest at like 48% if they either didn't cover or go bankrupt?
Naked sells you fucking dumb shit. The failures to deliver proves they've been doing it since december.

True short % is likely in the 150-350% range. It's impossible to know how much, but it's possible to estimate it's higher than when it was 122%.
>also, they pretty much went bankrupt and lost billions of dollars.
It wasn't only melvin you dunce. you think citadel would bail them out and brokers and clearing houses would fuck over retail to halt the squeeze if it was only melvin? you think nearly the entire finance media would collude to try to paint WSB as the bad guys and scare people to sell if it was only melvin?

no you don't, because you don't even believe what you say

*scare the long side

gonna be interested to failures to deliver whenever that data comes out.

FTD tip of the goldberg, hedgie magic juggling shares owed for settlement within the 3 day settlement period,
Impossible net 70% of float short cover in a single day (check numbers on monday 1st february), with impossible concurrent downtrend, along with massive shorting voluming.

You see that ~50% of float short number? The real hidden short is likely still north of 200%. In all probability north of 250%.

If you truly to understand it, you will know it's mathematically impossible that the shorts are in the clear. Other sharks smell blood and have been buying massively in 130-50 dollar range. Paper retailers have been shaken out. Duel diligence retailers with big balls sold on the way down and rebought in the 50-80 range. Big brain retailers and rich individual traders bought 800 strike call options with a comfortable time margin for after when they predict the squeeze will happen at the latest.

The goldberg is deep anon.

The hedgies are still in deep shit until longs mass-capitulate. And longs have not mass-capitulated. Their scam illegal naked selling is getting bigger and bigger the more is bought in the 50-80 range. There is only so much they can juggle to minimize Failed To Deliver rates.

Michael Burry recalled his shares that were borrowed for shorting over a month ago. It took multiple weeks to get them. There is an extreme shortage in GME shares and the only way they are able to cover that up is by selling tons of GME shares they don't have every single day.

However, what if you also naked sell at the same time. You sell shares you don't have to suppress the price, and you cover by buying shares. Does your hedgefund have another in-deep-short-shit-hell buddy? Then you can coordinate to avoid naked covering, and sell and buy these shares you don't have to each other and dump on the market however much you need to to keep price suppressed. You then use these shares you buy to cover with. You also ensure enough extra fake shares are sold to keep the price moving downwards. While doing this, you are essentially getting some excess free money from the buy side for your fake shares sold in excess of what you buy to cover with.
Eventually, if longs capitulate, you can buy their shares cheap and dig yourself out of this hole, "covering" your hidden illegal shorts, and eventually your public legal shorts too.
However, what happens if the longs don't capitulate and the buying pressure from the rest of the market remains higher than selling pressure?
You need to keep selling more naked shorts than what you buy to cover with. You need to do this every day to keep the price stable or decreasing.
Your effective short position within the rolling 3 day settlement period increases exponentially.
Your hidden short increases exponentially. Your public short, however, might do something like appearing to decrease from 122% to 53.5% in a single trading day while the price also decreases.

Through monday, supposedly short% went down from 122% to the mid 50s while price plummeted and the volume was less than 1.5X the shares supposedly covered. We have records from the sec for preceding weeks that show consistently high (mostly 1-2% of float) Failed To Deliver, which indicates a churning hidden short against clearing houses where they are always effectively in 3 day stonk debt. This is done by selling and covering with stonks that they don't have, so they try to get enough to settle within the 3 day time period but still fail to settle it all.

I believe that they went totally insane on monday and expanded this by over 10 million shares. Probably more, since it would take almost 30m shares to cover as much as they supposedly covered. That's over 60% of float.

The play was to hope longs capitulate and sold en-masse through later on monday, tuesday wednesday and maybe thursday so they could get the shares required to settle.

I think since they were unable to hide the tip of the naked short iceberg back in december and it showed 1-2%, I doubt they are able to hide counterfeiting an amount of shares corresponding to nearly 100% of the float on monday when settlement is due.
https://www.investopedia.com/terms/s/settlementdate.asp
It should show up as fails to deliver either on thursday or friday. I'm not 100% sure if the time limit is by thursday or thursday is the last days.

I don't have a good enough knowledge of the mechanics to know for sure, but I expect at least 20% of float will Failed To Deliver.

Real short % (counting each counterfeit share as a short) is likely to be more than of 200%.

Illegal naked shorting and stock manipulation are two of Wall Street's deep, dark secrets.
