Today I Want to show you some actual calculations on how Shorts are losing billions of dollars shorting AMC and likely hundreds of millions of dollars each and every month. I Want to talk about how Shorts are trying their best to keep this covered up, but will likely be experiencing massive liquidations over the next few months. So stay tuned and let's make some money. And now I Dive straight in with the key information.

So Frank Nez from Nez Media Company Tweets saying AMC's cost to borrow as hedge funds burning 20 million dollars a month now I Want to go through these calculations because I think this number is actually much, much bigger. Now with Frank's calculations, he takes the number of shares on loan 179 million shares, and the annual cost to buy rate of 135. But he also forgets to multiply the number of shares on loan by the actual share price. So let's go through my calculations on the actual numbers.

Legally AMC has 179 million shares on loan. but I think the true number of shares is closer to one to two billion shares on loan. We know there isn't just 180 million shares shorted as these hedge funds have created likely Millions if not billions of synthetic shares. Now, the current price of AMC is 5.52 cents per share.

So if we take the legal number of shares on loan, that's a total value on loan of 988 million dollars. Again, when you factor in the illegal synthetics, there's likely 5.5 to 11 billion dollars worth of shares on loan right now. Now, the AMC cost to borrow fee really depends on what source you're taking it from or text actually says the cost to borrow is closer to 300, but some other sources put it closer to 100. So let's use both examples: So Based on the legal number of shares on loan, these shorts are paying somewhere between 988 million dollars per year to 2.9 billion dollars, just a short AMC in transaction fees.

Now again, if you factor in those synthetic shares, the shorts are likely paying somewhere between 5.5 billion dollars per year to 33 billion. But if we look at this on a monthly basis instead of an annual basis, and we take the legal number of shares on loan, that's somewhere between 82 million dollars per month to 247 million. And again, factoring in those synthetics, these shorts are likely paying somewhere between 450 million dollars per month to 2.75 billion per month. So we can see that on a monthly basis, these shorts are likely paying hundreds of millions of dollars, if not billions of dollars just to continue to hold their EMC short positions.

Now you may say, hang on Tom That sounds a little bit unrealistic. Surely, these shorts aren't losing hundreds of millions of dollars per month, if not billions of dollars, right? Well, if we take Tiger Global as a perfect example, they are actually losing up to 185 million dollars per day. Not on a monthly basis per a day. Now I Know that Tiger Global lost 42 billion dollars last year as of 2022.

AKA Meaning they were losing 185 million dollars for every trading day. So therefore, the thought of these shorts losing hundreds of millions of dollars per month actually isn't too unrealistic. If anything, it's more likely these shorts are actually losing billions of dollars per month. If type of global can be losing 185 million dollars per day, why can't these shorts be losing 2.75 billion dollars per month paying that AMC cost to borrow Again, you may say Tom if the shorts were losing billions of dollars per month shorting AMC Surely they just close out of their short positions.

But I'm here to say and here to explain why they can't and it's basically the exact same reason why Toga Global Couldn't just close out of their positions and stop themselves from losing 185 million dollars per day. And the answer is because they're stuck. Many of these shorts have created hundreds of millions if not billions of synthetic shares. If they closed out of all of those shorted positions, they'd be buying back billions of AMC shares, obviously causing the squeeze.

And that's why even though they're taking on heavy losses, paying this cost to borrow fee, they continue holding their positions because they don't have another. Choice Also guys, be sure to drop a like down below. I Want to see if we can try and get this video to 1 500 likes for the YouTube algorithm. Now again, you may be saying Tom I've got two main problems with this problem.

Number one isn't Citadel making billions of dollars at the moment, not losing billions and number two doesn't. AMC usually have a very low cost to buyer rate like one or two percent, right? but AMC did have a low cost to buyer rate until the FDX disaster. Ever since then, every single day, the cost to borrow has been at 100 to 300 percent. So therefore, at least over the last two months, these shorts have been paying Millions if not billions of dollars every month to continue shorting aim.

C Seeing as FTX has now collapsed, these market makers can no longer use the FTX tokenized synthetic shares for their Force locates. These market makers are also having a significantly more difficult time using bullet swaps or total return swaps as well, and therefore I actually think it's likely the AMC Costa borrow stays at 100 to 300 for the foreseeable future, if not increases even further, especially as we're also seeing cost to borrows on stocks like Bed Bath and Beyond also rock it to 400 and above. And number Two, even though Citadel seems to be making billions of dollars I Want to explain why that might not be the case now? You may have seen this article today saying that Ken Griffin Citadel posts 16 billion dollars in 2022 profits and reportedly has become the top earning hedge fund ever just behind Bernie Madoff Of course, even says that Citadel's gain of 16 billion dollars last year was the largest annual gain ever made by a hedge fund manager. But actually, as Alvin Boston tweeted, top hedge funds earned sharply less for clients in 2022.

it says that last year will mostly be remembered as a tough one with the broader S P 500 losing 20 and blue chip hedge fund managers like Tiger Global and third, Point Nursing massive losses. Overall, hedge funds lost 208 billion dollars in 2022 for clients, marking the biggest single year decline since 2008. So therefore, we've got hedge funds in total losing 208 billion dollars in total, and some hedge funds taken on massive losses down 50, 60, or 70 percent. But yet somehow Citadel had a record-breaking year again, just like Bernie Madoff did back in the early 2000s.

It seems highly coincidental that in a year when every single hedge fund struggled Citadel security is probably the largest perpetrator of the AMC shorting Scandal somehow made billions and billions of dollars in profits somehow when everybody was losing 50 of their fund, Citadel had massive massive gains outperforming everybody in the entire. Market Again, as I said, Just Like Bernie Madoff did back in the early 2000s, allegedly, Citadel may be over inflating their profit so people think they're doing better than they actually are so that Citadel can try and survive yet another day. And as time loose tweeted, he said I Also find it odd that these CEOs are suddenly coming out of the woodwork after all of this time and it's strangely happening. As soon as the proxy votes frame C were announced and again just assisted our Securities is posting these record profits All of these CEOs are coming out and trying to distract people from APC He said I'm on board with the AMC vote if we can get a company name change to force the Dtcc to create an all-new share inventory.

Again, it does seem highly coincidental that so many distractions are coming out. Frame C Just at a time when Citadel is supposedly posting record profits and AMC has announced the conversion and again, it's strangely also happening at a time when tons of tons of companies like Google Microsoft Facebook Amazon and now Spotify are slashing hundreds if not thousands of jobs. We are currently having a worst Tech layoff even worse than 2001 and 2008 right now. But yet somehow, hedge funds like Citadel are making record profits right now.

I Think we're seeing way too many coincidences popping up at the same time. These hedge funds are clearly trying to distract us further from AMC and GameStop using any and all possibilities they can think of. But the truth is that these shorts are now paying hundreds of millions of dollars if not billions of dollars each and every month to continue shorting AMC and GameStop because they're stuck and can't escape and therefore it's only a matter of time until some of these hedge funds end up losing too much money as the next leg of the market crash ends up continuing and they end up being liquidated. But guys, be sure to let me know what you think down in the comments below.

And as always guys as be sure to ding that notification Bell because that way you'll be alerted when I upload a new video. Cheers!.
