Today I Want to talk about how the shorts are desperate for more cash? They've already borrowed 13 figus in loans from Banks which is over a trillion dollar, but it's still not enough. They're raising fees for their customers or investors desperate to stay afloat, so stay tuned and let's make some money before. I Dive in with the key information I Wanted to announce the Valentine sale over at the millionaire mindset Trading Group You can currently get four weeks for the price of three on the monthly membership or $100 off the lifetime membership using Code Valentine's at checkout. This is the first sale I've done in quite a while and it's the first ever sale I've done on the lifetime membership later in the video.

I Also wanted to go through today's crazy 700% Gainer on BMR or Beamer Imaging but now I'll dve straight in with the key information. So you can see from this article. it says the US Federal Reserve reported on Friday that US Banks crossed the 13 figure thresholding loans out standing to non-deposit taking Financial companies at the end of January It says these hedge funds private Equity firms, direct lenders, and others use the money to leverage Investments and increasingly lend it out to a range of risky borrowers. That Regulators have discouraged Banks from lending to directly and it even says that amount is up 12% in the past year, making it one of banking's fastest growing businesses when overall loan growth has been sluggish.

So this says these hedge funds private Equity firms and direct lenders have now borrowed 13 figures in cash from Banks which is over a trillion dollars. And it also says these hedge funds are using these loans to leverage Investments and they're also lending it out to other risky businesses and risky borrowers that Regulators have discouraged lending too AK Like those risky short sellers that are desperate for cash and it seems they're now just trying to borrow more and more and more borrowing an additional 12% in money. Over the last year, the rapid rise in loans to these companies has increased because there's very little information or oversight regarding the risks being taken by those groups. As a prime example, City Group has recently partnered with an outside Alternative Investment manager Lumen ARX to provide Innovative leverage solutions to its $2 billion.

Loan Fund So City Group is trying to find new ways to lend money to hedge funds. In 2010, loans to hedge funds total just over $50 billion for the entire banking sector. As I said, that figure is now over a trillion doar. Which again, also shows these hedge funds have become more and more risky, taking on more cash and leveraging their Investments further, not just one, two or three times leverage, but 7, 10, 15 times leverage or even higher.

And speaking of City Group there's now more concern about overleveraged Banks Kristen tweeted saying us: Regulators have asked City Group directly for Urgent changes to the way it measures default risk of its trading partners and the bank's own Auditors have found a plan to improve internal oversight which is lacking. This article says the US Regulators of Our City Group for Urgent changes to the way it measures default risk of its trading partners. Basically saying that City Group is sending out these risky loans and is giving these risky loans to hedge funds private Equity firms and others. But it doesn't calculate default risk very well.

In fact, it's taking incredible risks lending to these risky companies. It's basically saying that City Group is not appropriately counting the level at which these hedge funds should be margin called and therefore it's exposing City Group to even more Risk by not calculating their default Point accurately because if and when these hedge funds do default, City Group will end up taking a massive, massive loss. So these banks are lending more money to risky hedge funds over a trillion dollars now. and they're also not calculating their default points accurately exposing these Banks to bigger losses.

It says the regulatory notices come as the bank Works through to 2020 consent orders in which the Fed and the OCC directed the bank to fix longstanding and widespread deficiencies in its risk management, data, governance, and internal controls. I Wanted to go through today's crazy 700% Gainer which was BMR As you can see I First alerted it in the pre-market waiting for the breakout from $425 I then alerted it again later in the day, still in the pre-market ready for the breakout of $625 So I gave multiple entry points waiting for those various different breakouts where the team capitalized as BMR ran from $425 up over $30 per share. As you can see from these screenshots, the group absolutely smashed. BMR Repo Man made 600% taking $500 up to $3,000 Snowbird made $4,000 profits Rjs made 101% profit Chris made 140% profit and Crime Candle made over $7,400 today, tripling his account two days in a row.

As I said, today is the first day of the Valentine sale where you can currently get a $100 off your lifetime membership or four weeks for the price of three on the monthly memberships using the code Valentine all in capitals at checkout using the link in the description below. Now, Bams has also tweeted this article about how hedge funds are raising fees for customers and investors. Despite their poor performance, it says: Hedge funds in the US have raised the fees they charge to clients to record levels despite trailing the performance of the stock market over the past year. Basically, hedge funds failed to beat the S&P 500, but as a result are now charging clients new alltime high record fees.

Clearly, they're desperate for more loans. They've already taken out over a trillion dollars in loans, and they're also desperate for more cash or more fees from their clients. They're desperate for more cash in every angle. Because these hedge funds are obviously close to going bankrupt, It says the management fees charged by established hedge funds in America Rose in 2023 to their highest level since 2012 and are now in record territory.

And the reason why these hedge funds are so desperate for cash from all angles is because the Fedor specifically the SEC, OCCC and Dtcc are still raising margin requirements. As Frank has tweeted they, they' just changed or increased the volatility haircut schedule Which basically means that Securities are now receiving a larger hair cut. Basically, meaning they're going to struggle to meet margin requirements Even more for Securities that were may be worth $500 million towards margin requirements, those Securities may now only be worth 450 million for example. So basically the change that the NCC are implementing is to increase the haircut rate for lower valued security.

You can see these haircuts are going from percentages like 52% to 57% 119% to 125% and 37% to 39% It's an increase of between 2 and 7% for all Securities priced below 1 cent and up to $5 per share. Even shares above $5 per share have also increased that haircut rate, Basically, meaning that any Security in the entire stock market is now worth less for margin requirements. Okay, proving my point that these banks are struggling to meet margin requirements and they're therefore desperately taking out more loans and charging their clients more. Dade Murphy has also tweeted about this new article from investor Place who seemed to be doing a 180 on Meme stocks.

Previously, Investor Place has posted articles like AMC stock the dog with fleas that just won't die should you buy no along with countless enter anything here, won't save AMC articles. But now Investor Place has given you three meme stocks to buy on the dip in February 2024 AMC GameStop and Virgin Galactic Saying that GameStop has the right stats to Warrant a closer look at it short squeeze potential and the AMC could rise from pressure applied in the options Market I Don't know whether this is an article to try and suckering additional people into buying call options or if investor Place is trying to change their tone before a big AMC runup. but Practical Stocks has also pointed out the incredible increase in AMC short interest I covered this just a few days ago where it had increased from 23 million to 29 million shortage shares. and now that's at 31 million shortage shares legally disclosed.

in the last 2 weeks, it's increased from 27 million to 31 million. another increase of 14% And Again, as I said, this is just a legally disclosed short interest. Imagine what's happening to these illegal synthetics. If the number of shorted shares over the last month or so has increased from 13 million shares or 15 million shares up to 31 million, it means the synthetics have likely doubled too.

Again, just proving even more how stuck these shorts really are. So guys, be sure to let me know what you think down in the comments below. And as always, guys, be sure to ding that notification Bell because that way you'll be alerted when I up a new video! Cheers!.
