"this can’t go on forever" I use to believe that, well, I still do; but Lord Have Mercy, it sure has gone on for a very long time with no end in sight.
Greetings, Bio and All. I sure hope everyone didn't take the beating that I endured. I'm far from back, but still hold a small position.
Rather than gluing my feet to the stadium protesting burning oil, I'm out splitting wood and wonder about the Swifties. I've never liked AA and I have posted so, but the man has a keen eye for a buck (specifically if he's going to be getting that buck) anyway, why are we hearing about Cinemark, they play second fiddle to AMC? OK, I'll go back to my wood and dream that the Swifties come and make me whole, HA!

Cinemark rival AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc. (AMC) recently announced that the film had shattered the company's record for single-day advance ticket sales, with $26 million in ticket revenue sold on Aug. 31. AMC is also the theatrical distributor for "Taylor Swift The Eras Tour," clinching deals with Cinemark and Regal in the U.S., and Cineplex (CA:CGX) in Canada to show the film.
Major concert films are in the spotlight, boosted by high-profile tours from Taylor Swift and Beyoncé, whose "Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé" will hit cinemas next month. On Monday Cinemark announced that preshows for Beyoncé's film will begin Nov. 30. AMC is also selling tickets for "Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé," with shows starting Nov. 30.

Shorts have had a field day with BYND, while Gensler looks the other way.
Because shorts are in business to make money and AA is in bed with the shorts. I had said years ago, AA wasn't our friend, history has proven me correct.
Dismal is being kind
Yes, it should be.............so either I'm wrong of the amount of outstanding shares is wrong. TD-A has this for outstanding shares of AMC
Shares Outstanding 1.0B
Market Cap 9.8B
No idea what that's all about, here's what TD-A has for APE
Shares Outstanding 10.3M
Market Cap 62.6M
No idea what that's about, either! If nothing else, I learned a new word with AMC, a lot of Fu*kery involved with this stock, even before APE came to life.
nice call
Thanks for getting back to me.
Sixth Street Specialty Lending, Inc. (NYSE: TSLX) is a specialty finance company focused on providing flexible, fully committed financing solutions to middle market companies principally located in the US.
Typically, specialty finance firms are non-bank lenders that make loans to consumers and small to mid-size businesses that may otherwise find it difficult to obtain financing
My P and Q's
I'm pretty certain TSLX was working on this deal with BBBY long before RC Ventures exited their position in BBBY, aren't you? I'd also bet that BBBY is paying a steep interest rate on that 375 million, perhaps Cohen didn't like the deal, if so, that's insider trading (and a boatload of speculation on my part).
This much is true, TSLX Annual Dividend/Yield $1.68/8.72%
Shorts will chit their pants when BBBY announces that they are going to spin off Buy Buy Baby (as well as Harmon) as a dividend to BBBY shareholders!
My wife doesn't have any issues with their website as is.
Some nut jobs on this board feel that nobody cares about BBBY's products, I know one person that greatly prefers to see and feel both bed and bath articles before she buys, so she does shop at local store, but uses the web site to send gifts. BBBY has a customer base.
Where did you hear that news?
Is this the CEO that bought herself 50,000 shares when she took the job?
IMO, that's because trades are not going to dark pool, your now seeing all trades
Old retail AMC shareholders are not trading their APE shares, AA is selling treasury APE shares to Kenny and friends so they can cover all synthetic shares they sold with real APE shares.
APE shares will lose value when AA is done selling to Kenny and friends, then AMC shares will Moon.
How else do you explain all the APE shares changing hands?
Perhaps,
or perhaps AA is selling APE shares to Kenny and friends by the boat load, which he'll use the proceeds to pay off our debt (or buy Regal Theaters, maybe both).
If AA is doing this, this doesn't address any synthetic AMC shares outstanding, they will still have to be bought back at some point in time; but a debt free AMC would have earnings, Wall Street likes hearing about earnings a hell lot of a lot more than they like hearing about synthetic shares outstanding.
AA did say, always remember, he personally owns a lot of shares himself and would benefit from any squeeze
3-D Chess, or is AA selling APE shares to Kenny and his fellow shorts?
I'm pretty damn sure that old retail AMC shareholders aren't selling their newly acquired APE shares.
Tulla, after you posted that volume jumped at close yesterday, I looked at volume, you were right.
I also noticed that TD-A isn't giving an amount of outstanding shares for APE, any idea why not? Seems like some nefarious BS to me.
IT department rewriting algorithms is my opinion
Nice read, RC leaving made no sense to me, at least this read gives one something to think about, as for you finding this on Reddit, I liked some of their comments, a lot.
I'm holding my BBBY, yes I bought some higher while we were running; but I'm hoping to do the same again, soon, too.
RC didn't ruin his following for what is pocket change to him, IMO.
Time will tell
I know that my son wishes he had that kind of money hanging around, I sort of wish he did, too. I'd borrow some!
Do you have a link showing that Citadel owns BBBY shares?
IMO, Griffin could care less how he's making money, he could very well be the buyer in BBBY as I type, someone is buying.
All of them
Remember this while reading the WSJ, there's no getting around the man.
Ken Griffin Owns Almost 1.4 Million Shares of News Corp.
CEO of Citadel Securities, Ken Griffin owns News Corp, the company that has ownership over Wall Street Journal, Barrons, MarketWatch, DOW Jones, and other media outlets spewing ill words of AMC Entertainment and its community.
That damn sure would cause a lot of excitement, BIO did you read this dude's post?
Very interesting idea.
Like I had told you before der Kumpel, I sure hope that God's listening to you!
For what it's worth, there's a hell of a lot of out of the money call buying in both AMC as well as BBBY for this week's expiration.
Karlchen, sure do hope that God's listening to you for I do not see any evidence that Kenny is.
I agree with what you say, it's just the evidence that's my problem.
I'm glad I bought admission tickets for I'm not sure I would have believed this story if I wasn't living it.
Bio, I believe retail owns more than the float, I also believe there's many more like lindy1401 that "found" some money to buy more AMC before ex-dividend (whatever day it is) and we are holding to see what happens with our AMC as well as our new APE shares.
I think that goes with our admission price, adds to the fun.
This is entire article, great FUD reporting, updated an hour ago, to boot!
Bed Bath & Beyond Shares Sink Premarket After Ryan Cohen Files to Sell
By Caitlin McCabe
Billionaire investor Ryan Cohen this week filed to sell his entire stake in Bed Bath & Beyond.David Paul Morris/Bloomberg News
Bed Bath & Beyond's stock remained under pressure Thursday premarket after billionaire investor Ryan Cohen filed to sell his entire stake in the retailer.
Shares of Bed Bath & Beyond, known by its ticker $BBBY, stood 11% lower before the opening bell, at $20.49.
Mr. Cohen, the co-founder of Chewy and chairman of GameStop, this week proposed selling his whole stake, as well as call options on the stock. That sparked a pullback in Bed Bath & Beyond shares that began in late Wednesday trading.
Mr. Cohen helped ignite a new meme-stock frenzy in shares of Bed Bath & Beyond earlier this year when he disclosed a large stake in the company. Why? Mr. Cohen rapidly ascended from activist investor to GameStop chairman last year. He is revered by many individual investors, due to his cryptic tweets and plans to transform GameStop.

His average BBBY cost basis is $15.34
He is not leaving BBBY for a five dollar gain, it's all FUD. This FUD might get RC motivated to buy more, since shares are now on sale due to Cramer and his FUD Mouth.
I'm not sure what you call big, but I also added today, this FUD isn't going to get me selling anytime soon.
Just the fact that there's a ton of posts today is an indication that this is all FUD.
I came over to this Board on Tuesday, it was dead, look at all the negative posts today.
We are all good.
RC bought his shares in March, he bought high, maybe it's higher now; but RC is not selling for a five dollar gain, it's FUD.
PURE FUD
I agree, I would like to thank you, as well as everyone, that has tried to find clarity on this issue. I'm with you, I know everyone that has bought AMC shares will receive one APE share for each AMC share they own, if they own AMC on ex-dividend date.
I'm also holding, so whenever the date is, I'm good.
It's the Brokerage House you use responsibility to make sure you get your APE share, it's no one's concern if they own "fake'' shares.
Cramer was barking about this shelf yesterday, 390 million shares traded yesterday, BBBY is flying, Ryan Cohen is on the board, why would they sell shares now, when tomorrow they could get more for them; but even if they sold 20 millions shares, would the Market notice when 390 millions shares traded? 390 million, there's only 80 million shares outstanding!
Cramer needs to read more and talk less.
Cramer opinion doesn't count for much over where the action is.
https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/
Actually, his opinion finds ways of becoming funny jokes, fast, too.
What is crazy is there's only 80 million shares, yet 20 million shares have been traded before the Market opens.
Those calls RC Ventures bought may also get into the money long before 1-20-2023, glad I didn't sell any naked calls (or shares).
Cramer feels the pain of his Hedge Fund buddies, there will be no secondary. They can all take aspirins for their pain, bunch of foolish fools!

He's to tight with the Hedge Funds, however, gives the folks on Reddit something to laugh about

Not real sure that will get you to the funny one
Has Kenny also shorted B**Y, if so, he had the stock halted
Eastunder, great question; but you know the answer, for some it most certainly will, for others, absolutely not. It will just add a new layer to this conspiracy-or is it a conspiracy?
I agree with Bio, it's worth the price of admission.
Guten Tag,
As many of us know, not all screwing are the same. I'm not sure how AMC is going to end, but your thought process about screwing people world wide make s difference, well it doesn't. LME screwed a ton of folks, worldwide. I still find it hard to believe, but it's now fact.
The London Metal Exchange market for nickel futures broke last Tuesday: Nickel prices shot up due to margin calls and forced buying by some big short traders, and in response the LME canceled $3.9 billion of trades, rolled back the price to pretend the Tuesday morning session had never happened, and shut down trading for a week.
That's a world class screwing, right there!
