Welcome back to the channel everyone today, i want to talk about how the volume in amc in gamestop is wrong, it's being divided by 10 and being covered up. I also want to talk about the new thing. That's causing a hedge fund meltdown, so stay tuned and let's make some money, and now i want to dive straight in with the key information. So the volume is wrong.

Gamestop reported volume has been divided by 10 since january. The 8th - and this is also still applicable to amc as well too long didn't read: they've been hiding game stocks, volume dividing it by 10. This whole time. That's why we have record low volumes constantly the volume isn't dry.

It's just shy, so let me tell you what led me to even do the calculation in the first place, while looking at historical options data. I found something interesting. I noticed a pattern starting on january, 8th on january 8th. The open interest combined for all contracts was 50 614 options.

Three days later, the trading volume shot up to 144 million shares of gamestop. The pattern i noticed is that open interest or volume three days later on a price spike, is usually roughly the same. So, on january, the eighth you had a combined amount of call and options of 50 000 options. The volume three days later was around 144 million shares, so the open interest over volume is 28.549, but since january 8th every time we've had a spike in call and pop options combined and volume.

Combined three days later, the open interest over volume is much much lower. So, on january 22nd, we had a combined whopping amount of 230 000 options, but the volume three days later was only 93 million, even though we had more than four times the amount of options that gives you an open interest over volume of only 1.716. Similar can be seen on february. The 19th combined options were 544, 000 volume was higher, but it was only 150 million, giving you open interest over volume of 2.761.

The same can be seen in march and october as well. In march, we had combined options of 296 000 volume was only 71 million shares, giving you an open interest over volume of 2.142 october 29th, the combined volume and options was 49 000 volume. Three days later was only 11.2 million. If you compare that back to january, we have a very similar amount of options, but volume is over 10 times lower and the same kind of thing can also be seen in amc as well for the week expiring, the 5th of february back all that time ago.

In february we had 53 000 of open interest options at the seven dollar mark. Now, at the moment, we still have a lot of open interest. We've got 25 000 options at 40, 20 000 options at 41, 21 000 options at 45 and many more options as well, but we can see a stark difference in volume for the week expiring, the 5th of february we had a day of 418 million shares traded. We had 462 million shares, traded 219 million shares, 159 million shares and 193 million shares as well, whereas this week, even though the options have been very very similar, we've only had 34 million shares traded, 44 million, 82 million and 28 million shares traded.

Massive massive lows in actual trading volume. I also wanted to thank you guys massively you've been loving the content recently and a lot of you have already signed up with moomoo because of that moomoo. Given me a special opportunity, and i'm one of only four youtubers to receive this opportunity, all thanks to you guys, moomoo's new massive promotion gives you three free stocks. When you sign up and deposit at least a hundred dollars, you get a free stock worth up to three hundred and fifty dollars.

You get a second free stock of neo with a value of around forty three dollars, which is exclusive to my audience, and if you deposit, two thousand dollars, then you get an extra free share of general motors with a value of around fifty eight dollars. And you can always sell those shares and get three entirely free shares of amc just for signing up using my link below and depositing at least a hundred dollars, and he says, look at open interest over volume. That's the combined open interest, divided by the volume of the jump three to four days later january 13th is 28.5 and on average, after that, it's only 2 to 2.5, with some days or sometimes as low as 1.7. Since february, gamestop has not hit 100 million shares in volume once the same thing can be said for amc over the last few months we haven't seen days of over 2 or 300 million shares since back in june, but yes had roughly the same open interest over Volume, just like we've, had the same amount of open interest on the options chain, but much much lower volume.

This stuck out to me as strange, and it made no sense 100 to 150 million shares of volume, was normal for a jump before march. Then it just kept acting weird. The thing that really made me wonder was how his game stopped: the most trending stock on november 3rd, a magnificent run from 214 dollars to 255 million dollars, but yet only 11 million shares of volume. We could say the same thing for amc: how do we run from 38 all the way to 44, the highest we've been in many many months, but only trade 82 million shares the last time we had a big run like that was back in august here on The 24th and 25th of august, where we had 220 million shares traded and 208 million shares traded.

Now yesterday we had 28 million shares traded so roughly 10 of what we'd done in the past and he says so. I look more closely at january. The 8th the only time open interest over volume was a massive 28.5 28.5 compared to the 2.5 average is just weird. Then it hit me what, if the volume this entire time starting after january, 8th, has been divided by 10., and if you do that, 11.25 million volume looks relatively like a normal jump to 112.58 million shares traded.

You could see the same for amc. 28.553 million could be 288 million shares, but then he remembers how citadel claimed to execute 7.4 billion shares on january 27th. The exact wording is citadel securities, never requested, intimidated, agreed or otherwise sought to limit or to restrict the trading of such securities. On january 27th, we executed an astonishing 7.4 billion shares on behalf of retail investors.

So, therefore, if you add up all of the volume on those restricted tickers like sndl, nakd, amc, bby, bb, gamestop and all the others, you should get to 7.4 billion shares of volume traded. So as he kept on adding up the shares, he was inching closer and closer 1 billion shares. 3 billion shares 5 billion shares. At that point, he thought to himself well, it's probably going to add up to 7.4 billion, but hang on it.

Only added up to 6.67 billion shares. That means there's 728 million missing shares. Gamestop's volume on january 27th was 93 million shares. If you times that by 10, you get 933 million shares, which is very very close to the 7.4 billion shares that citadel claimed, so his speculation as to why the volume is being covered up is because, for one, a hundred million shares of volume, plus a huge Percentage gain can cause massive massive amounts of fomo and obviously they wouldn't want fomo, which would add more and more volume just like they couldn't handle back in january.

I think when gamestop ran back in january, that's when they started suppressing gamestops volume, but then amc ran back in june and i think ever since june, they've actually been suppressing amc's volume as well. That's why we're seeing such little volume traded on a day-by-day basis, someone's theorised that, whenever they're, finding two trades between the same broker in opposite directions for synthetic shares, they're not sending that volume to the dark pool anymore they're, just cancelling those trades out previously. That made up ninety percent of the trading volume, which means that the trades never reach the market. It's like voting and getting your vote cancelled by the next person that votes against you before it's counted, and he says translating that to stocks the volume's 10 times lower than it should be, and therefore it's taking a smaller number of shares to make a bigger change.

In the price and that's why, when we see amc, get ladder attack down it's on very, very little volume, but amc somehow drops 1 2, 3, four, even five percent on tiny amounts of volume, and i also wanted to talk about hedge funds becoming the latest victims Of inflation, steve cohen's .72 was among those that sold stock positions just because of inflation. After slamming shoppers manufacturers and tech giants alike, inflation is poised to claim a new set of victims. Wall street's, smartest hedge funds, caught flat-footed by the federal reserve's plans to begin tapering. Its bond purchases, a slew of top tier hedge firms, are now coping with losses from overly optimistic bets that inflation is only a temporary phenomenon.

Michael taylor, a managing director, said nobody on wall street has ever seen. Inflation like this in their career, there hasn't been elevated and persistent inflation in the last 20 years. The market has changed since the last time we had long spanning inflation. Most managers don't know what to do because they've got no experience in this realm and they're ill-equipped to prosper.

If hedge funds, like point 72, are taking on massive losses because of inflation and the surprise tapering of repurchases. This is obviously brilliant news for us apes. If hedge funds are taking on massive losses, it means they're going to be edging closer and closer and closer to being margin called and being forced to cover off all of their short positions. One institution that's quite literally, being liquidated and is leaving the game is credit.

Suites credit suisse takes axe to prime broking after multi-billion dollar losses, credit suisse plans to all but exit the prime brokerage business that left it with 5.1 billion dollars of losses this year in a new strategy outlined on thursday, credit suisse will consolidate its wealth management division And streamline its investment bank, including mostly exiting its prime, broken unit, that serves hedge funds and was at the heart of the losses incurred from the collapse of family office. Our chaos, capital management so far, credit suisse has only recovered 257 million dollars from its initial 5.4 billion dollars of losses on our chaos. This massive loss has resulted in credit, suisse restructuring that was unveiled at the investors day on thursday and it failed to excite shareholders with the bank's share price falling a whopping five percent immediately and now i also want to touch on adam aaron's, brilliant idea to enter The popcorn selling industry, it's a multi-billion dollar industry and he's going to be selling popcorn at malls home delivery or to go from theaters and microwavable popcorn sold in supermarkets. If you didn't know, the margins on popcorn is 80 to 90 percent, which is absolutely massive.

If you compare that to the car industry margins suck there's about five to seven percent margin on new cars before discount, so comparing that to 80 10 90 profit margin on popcorn is massive and that's obviously going to help amc get out of debt a lot sooner. If amc generating massive massive profits on its popcorn, it's going to give them profits for the full year, getting them out of that lost reserve, meaning that they can then pay dividends. Now, there's a lot of people expressing disdain about the news to diversify into the popcorn industry, because a lot of people would have preferred a full refurb on all amc cinemas. But i think you have to understand.

There's two massive different angles: there, a massive refurb on all amc cinemas would cost hundreds of millions of dollars if not billions of dollars and it'd dig amc further and further and further into debt or completely deplete their cash reserves, but instead they're diversifying into a multi-billion Dollar popcorn industry with fairly low startup costs they already produce popcorn. So all they need to do is produce it in larger batches. That's not going to cost them hundreds of millions of dollars. It's not going to take months and months and months of refurbishing cinemas.

They're literally ready to go right now they just need to buy a few more machines to manufacture the popcorn in so whereas one example is gon na drain, hundreds of millions, if not billions, of dollars in cash. The other example is gon na cost retrospectively. Nothing and it's gon na boost their cash by hundreds of millions and if not billions, of dollars, guys be sure to. Let me know down in the comments below what you think about the volume on amc and gamestop being divided by 10 and being covered up.
