Today, I Want to talk about whether an AMC share buyback could cause the squeeze or whether a cash dividend could do it instead. And I want to talk about what we need to do as Apes to hire The Squeeze up and improve its chances. So stay tuned and let's make some money. And I've straight in with the key information.

So both Wired and Stonk's Batman We're talking about an AMC cash dividend and an AMC share buyback stocks. Batman Was saying that an AMC cash dividend does a number of things: It shows management confidence in AMC as a company. it gives shareholders more reason to hold because we're receiving a stable income. It also means that short sellers have to pay cash dividends on shares they've sold short and on synthetic shares as well.

And finally, on top of that, it also brings in a new wave of investors who buy dividend stocks. Especially if AMC turns into a high paying dividend stock. it could bring in thousands, if not tens of thousands, or hundreds of thousands or even millions of new investors as stocks. Batman tweeted.

He said if a company is profitable, debt free, and has money, this increases shareholder value. but he did also say that share BuyBacks were also a tool used to strengthen a Stock's value, which may be the case for normal, regular, unmanipulated stocks. but I don't think it's the case for AMC While I do think a cash dividend would be good, as it means that short sellers have to pay the cash dividend for all of those synthetic shares they've created and not the AMC company. I Don't think a share buyback is the way now.

Investopedia says that a stock buyback occurs when the issuing company pays shareholders the market value per share and reabsorbs that portion of its ownership that was previously distributed among public and private investors. Obviously, with a share buyback, we'd only be receiving the current traded market value and not the true value of agency. And on top of that, it also says that when a company repurchases its shares, it can purchase the stock on the open market or from its shareholders directly. But I Imagine what we'd end up with is AMC buying back those synthetic shares and canceling those synthetics, allowing the short holders to escape at a cheap and lower price.

If AMC is buying shares in the open market, I wouldn't put it past those Brokers to give AMC the synthetics, allowing the shorts to escape at the current traded market value, not the true AMC price it says. In recent decades, share BuyBacks have overtaken dividends as a preferred way to return cash to shareholders. And while that may be the case in normal, regular, unmanipulated companies, I don't think it should be the case or would be the case with AMC I Imagine retail investors would absolutely much prefer a cash dividend or even a stock or Nft dividend as opposed to a share buyback, because obviously, with a share buyback, we'd only be receiving the current market value and not the true AMC squeeze price. And obviously for men of Shorts could indeed Escape their positions, it effectively damages the chances of a squeeze and not improves it.

However, I Do think the cash dividend is a good idea, mostly for the third reason on this list, because obviously if short sellers have to pay the cash dividends on shares, they've sold short and synthetic shares they've created. It would likely cost these Shorts hundreds of millions if not billions of dollars. And if Adam Aaron and name saying that paying a cash dividend once a year or twice a year, or even once every quarter, that could be billions and billions that are taken from the Shorts on a regular basis. saying okay, Tom that's all well and good.

A cash dividend is better than share buyback. but what exactly can we as Apes do to try and hurry up the squeeze? Well, many of you have said that we should contact Share Intel Now I Don't really think Sharingtel is either the best way to go about it. As many other companies have contacted Sharington in the past and got absolutely nowhere. We know that Gtii we know that Roger Hamilton and a number of other CEOs have contracted Share Intel but their stock price has continued to fall and nothing came of it.

But so why exactly is Share Intel Potentially not the most reputable company, and why exactly might it not help in causing a squeeze? Well, if you Google sharing, tell the company its head office is in this location in Connecticut in the United States and if you go to that location on Google Maps we can see the head office of share Intel is simply a small flat. It's likely that Share Intel as a company isn't some giant giant company that has the money to fight these synthetic short sellers. Therefore, really share Intel Sounds like a quick money cash grab to try and squeeze additional pennies out of the companies that we believe in. but what exactly can we do then? well as Jan Jack tweeted, he said from reassuring shareholders that Ape would work as a Share account to tweeting about having asked Finra and the New York Stock Exchange to look closely at the trading of our stock.

After AMC had been on a threshold list for 22 consecutive days, we've received no feedback from Adam Aaron. One thing that I do think that we should do is push Adam Aaron for some actual responses. We know that Adam Aaron has supposedly contacted the New York Stock Exchange. We know that Adam Aaron has also supposedly contacted Finra now.

I Do believe that Adam Aaron has actually made contact and discussed just with them, but he just hasn't told us what came of it. I Personally would like to know what Binra planned to do about all of his glitches. Are they really price glitches or is the true price attempting to be suppressed? I Would like to know what the New York Stock Exchange found during the investigation of the trading of our stock. We know that it must be something officially going on as AMC is regularly ladder attacked, it barcodes up and down and we have all of these glitches that seemingly aren't glitches.

These glitches only seem to occur with AMC ape at GameStop, but don't occur in any of the other bigger or smaller stocks on the stock exchange. So how can it be that we're seeing these regular glitches over and over again? It hasn't just been something that's happened once or twice in the last few months, it's happened regular times. maybe say five or ten times or even more over the last two years consecutively. I Do think that Adam Aaron is coming up with ideas on how we can course the squeeze and how we can better AMC as a company, but when that then goes into play, we don't really seem to hear much back from Adam Arrow Adam seems to be doing something and then forgetting about it and not following her up or chasing it further.

and therefore I do think that we should push for more of a response from Adam Aaron for Adam to be more responsive in answering our questions on exactly what's currently going on and exactly what he's hearing. Now in terms of something that I do think will indeed cause the squeezes. obviously the crash of The Wider Stock Market, we know these banks are struggling. We know that Credit Suisse has just collapsed, and we know that Deutsche Bank might be next.

But just exactly how important is Deutsche Bank in The Wider Financial Banking System Well, as Ben Rickett tweeted, he said as goes, Germany so goes the world He said the derivative obligation between major Global systemically important Banks is very, very real. We can see from this picture or this chart that Deutsche Bank actually has tons of connections to other globally systemically important Banks tons of other Euro banks in blue like Santander and Socio General but they also have tons of links to American Banks like JP Morgan Bank of America Goldman, Sachs, Citigroup and all of the others. and they even have connections to Asian Banks like Mizuho, China, Construction, Bank Mitsubishi and the others as well. Therefore, you can see that Deutsche Bank is actually one of the major counterparties for pretty much all of the banks in the banking system, and therefore, if Deutsche Bank did end up collapsing, all of these Banks would have tons of derivatives that needed unwinding and closing out of.

now. As Finance Lancelot tweeted, he said, the banks are telling you to buy stocks saying the bottom is in and canceling their recession calls across Europe We've seen articles over the last few weeks from major banks that are thinking that Europe will no longer enter a recession and therefore they're effectively telling you to buy shares Because the Bear Market is effectively finished, there's no more recession and stocks will go up. We've even seen a rally from January that even slightly supports what the banks are currently saying. But yet, meanwhile, all of these major banks are actually closing Investments and even closing departments.

and they're laying off thousands of staff. So if the Bear Market is finished and there's no more recession, why exactly are they implementing giant layoffs and closing Investments and closing departments and restructuring the banks? Well, this book it says: Finance Lancelot tweeted they're not saving the financial system, they're buying the bank's time to unload their positions onto you. And I as a prime example to show just how accurate this is. As Crystal Ball tweeted, he said, check out Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway that's currently selling 91 of their U.S Bancorp shares and 59 of their Bank of New York melon shares.

Clearly, Boxer Hathaway doesn't have confidence in these major Banks and is selling off tons of their positions. Warren Buffett clearly believes that banking crisis is not over and believes that it's likely to get worse and therefore sold off tons of shares in the fourth quarter of 2022, just before this banking crisis actually started. And on top of that, he's also sold off 86 of his position in Taiwan's Semiconductor as well as Warren Buffett sold these positions in the fourth quarter of 2022. He clearly foresaw the banking crisis actually taking place and was already out.

And considering he sold such large portions of his investment, he clearly expects the banking crisis to get even worse. And obviously, the banking crisis does indeed get worse. That means the stock market will indeed fall further, setting new lows, meaning that more hedge funds will end up going bankrupt. And obviously when more of these hedge funds end up going bankrupt, it will cause the squeeze as these hedge funds will be forced to close out of their short positions and sell off their Longs as well when winding down the front.

But 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 put a new video. Cheers!.
