    I sold my GME and got my money back. I'm not convinced the squeeze is ever going to be allowed to happen at this point.

    I'm holding forever (we'll see how high it gets). I don't have that much (20 shares) so YOLO.

    Gamestop, AMC short sellers lost $754 million after Tuesday's rally - Ortex

    LONDON (Reuters) - Investors shorting meme stocks GameStop and AMC Entertainment are estimated to have lost $754 million on Tuesday alone as the shares rallied, data from financial analytics firm Ortex shows.

    Shares in GameStop, which was at the heart of the so-called "stonks" retail trading mania earlier this year, rose 8% to nearly $225 in U.S. premarket trading on Wednesday, a day after rising 18%. Shares in cinema operator AMC soared 39%.

    "The sharp price increase can cause short position holders to try to close their positions by buying back the shares, causing additional demand which in turn can cause the share price to go up further," said Peter Hillerberg, co-founder of Ortex.

    "This is what the 'Reddit army' is hoping for."

    Short interest in AMC is currently estimated to be 21% of freefloat and in GME it is estimated at 17% of freefloat, according to Refinitiv data.

    Ortex data shows short-sellers lost $618 million during Tuesday's session, rising to $754 million if aftermarket trading were taken into account.

    I still have one share of GME, but I could no longer really afford to let 1k sit on that stock hoping it would pan out. If it drops again I might buy some more.

    I sold half my AMC at $19ish, which brings me down to 50 shares. I'll probably yolo these last 50.

    That's the obvious rational answer but Im feeling the fomo now. It's all house money at this point so let's gooooo.

    My step son is all over discord and says AMC is still on it's way up.

    Apparently Ford is second to AMC in options volume for the day. There are plenty of real reasons to like ford right now but it could be heading for meme status.
