    Surely closing the original shorts at a price of 300+ would make zero sense, as then the unrealised loss becomes a realised loss on their balance sheet. These would be the very last positions they would look to close, when the price drops a lot lot lower.

    Short Interest is 50-58% as of last night down from 150% two-three weeks ago. That's a lot of positions closed over the last week.

    Is there somewhere we can see the % of shorts in realtime?

    Not that I'm aware of.

    where did they get the stock over the weekend?

    were some of these guys buying calls hoping the price would pop and they could exercise?

    Yes and no. Lots of hedge funds are long on GameStop too remember.

    Melvin and Citron took big losses on their short positions particularly the former.

    It's as of last night, not that they closed their positions over weekend. Although OTC over weekend closing would still theoretically be possible

    I'm not sure, 50% is still high and we don't know the average breakeven price of these shorts.

    Have to love a site that comes with the caveat of "Shorts appear to be exiting their positions. There's a lot of speculation about how this is happening, or whether it is truly happening at all ".

    That's a whole lot of non-committal guess work so.

    Thanks for the explanation, already got my input out so gonna stay in just for the chance it still happens.

    Degiro having some issues with their price feed - VXRT is +30% today, could be a nice spin on this one if the press conference this week goes well

    yeah lets hope it goes well seems to have passed the hamster challenge last week anyways :pac:

    To be fair, if posters were more honest you'd see a lot more non-committal phrasing.

    That 121% figure is as of 1/15 tho isn't it? The short filings are only reported officially every two weeks

    Yeah this is correct. I've confirmed it to bloomberg

    Bought back again at €225, if my wife sees my +/- on a daily basis, it will be game over for me.

    The share price has held up relatively well, considering that reduction in shorts

    Ah here, this silver promotion is realllllllllllly shady ****. They're airing ads and getting loads of airtime on news promoting silver to loads of people who want in on the GME craze and it turns out Citadel amongst other Wall Street entities hold massive amounts of shares in silver. I wouldn't be surprised to see them dump it out to try and cover their GME losses, screwing over the average Joe who doesn't really know what they're doing then laying the blame at retail investors and Reddit.

    Are taxi drivers pumping it yet?

    Anyone looking getting into NIO? Kept waiting for a significant dip, might just pull the trigger and get it at this price. I could always DCA if it falls further...

    I think once the GME nonsense dies down the money will start drifting back into the EV market, and NIO should be a major benefactor of that. However I reckon it may drift down to around 50 before it starts to rise again.

    Came in to post this. Nice bit of business for them. Saw the other day that the deal is expected to be approved by existing shareholders on 9 February.

    Still trading at a cheap enough price at circa $17.
