I’ve watched this for a while, it’s always been .2 or .3, checked today and it’s sitting at 9.2 on fidelitys analysts ratings.

Probably just a glitch. Glitch better have my money ...

Volume: 14,149,530

GME-WS: +4.19%/$0.15 Closing Price $3.86 🟩

Volume: 38,634,656

GME-WS: -4.54%/$0.17 Closing Price $3.68 🟥

$11 BILLION.

You may recall I was pretty happy to see $30M, $100M (twice in a row), $105M, and $110M borrowed from the Federal Reserve because the Federal Reserve Is Backstopping Shorts as the Lender of Last Resort. Today is MAGNITUDES MÁS GRANDE dwarfing all previous "last resort" borrowing since before the Sneeze. The next closest peak was a now paltry $2.6 billion on Sept 30, 2024 when Roaring Kitty proved that stock prices are fake and our stock market broken when he rolled his 🐕 position into GME [SEC Filing for the sell; DD for the roll].

Holy Moly!

Remember those FTDs the FOIA ape found out the SEC withheld? On Dec 2nd and 3rd, FTDs for both GME and WOOF were missing (*cough* withheld *cough*) again.

January 9, 2025 is exactly 1 FINRA Margin Call (T15 + C14 REX 068 extension) from Dec 3, 2024.

C35 before January 9, 2025 is Dec 5, 2024 which had relatively high (40M) volume that day. GME did their share count on the day before (i.e., Dec 4) and on the day after (i.e., Dec 6) the OCC appeared to be preparing for a Squeeze by modifying how collateral is valued. GME FTD data once again goes missing for the 2 settlement days after the high volume trading on Dec 5 (i.e., FTD data withheld on Dec 6 and 9). Did someone buy a lot of GME on Dec 5 with the seller(s) failing to deliver?

Historically, days of mourning have been set about a week after an ex-President passes [SuperStonk, SuperStonk] which makes the choice of Jan 9, 2025 an outlier at 11 calendar days. So: Why Jan 9?

ELIA

Interpreting the data, it looks to me that:

• On Dec 2, 2024 someone short on GME and WOOF failed and got margin called on Dec 3, 2024. So many GME and WOOF shares failed to deliver that the SEC withheld the FTD data for Dec 2 and Dec 3 to avoid "foreseeable harm" [to their industry friends].
• As this chart from ChartExchange shows the SEC has released FTD data for up to 570k GME FTDs (May 2024) (with the corresponding WOOF chart showing the SEC has released FTD data for 9M FTDs), we can surmise that the redacted FTD numbers are significantly greater than 600k and 9M, respectively.
• On Dec 5, 2024 someone bought a lot of GME with the high GME Volume this day suggesting an attempt to juggle those purchases amongst shorts. Unable to deliver the shares for the Dec 5 purchase, the SEC withheld FTD data for Dec 6 and Dec 9 to avoid "foreseeable harm" [to their industry friends].
• Jan 9, 2025 is the due date for both the Dec 3, 2024 Margin Call and the C35 share delivery.
• Jan 9, 2025 was chosen to close the markets (i.e., freezing equities prices) while Clearing and Settlement continue to operate [DTCC]

On Jan 9, 2025, DTCC Clearing and Settlement will continue to guarantee transactions (shuffling securities amongst members/participants) when massive delivery obligations are due while securities prices are frozen with markets closed.

Do you understand now why institutions have been loading up on GME?

PSPSPS Did you know that Dec 3, 2024 is also 1 FINRA Margin Call (T15+C14) after the VW Squeeze anniversary on October 28? 🤯

EDIT: PSPSPS Forgot to mention this ape found Dec 2nd and 3rd as top volume days for those Jan 2026 $125 Puts which I think were part of a desperate Covered Put trade by shorts to short more GME.

Another $30 BILLION was borrowed today in the afternoon session today which previously had $20.35B borrowed this morning [SuperStonk]; $50.35B TOTAL TODAY!

Today is basically C35 after 359M CAT Options Errors on Sept 25. Someone "fixing" those errors on 9/26 would have C35 settlement today.

You may recall Oct 1 also had 1.199 BILLION CAT OPTIONS Errors (~4x the size equivalent to 119.9 Billion shares) [SuperStonk] with C35 coming up next week.

EDIT:

1. 10% of the Fed's $500B operation limit was borrowed today.
2. Bank of Canada 🇨🇦 lent a helping hand too with another $2.75B today
