OTC Short Theory: Why GME’s Borrow Fee Might Have Declined
2024.11.25 14:35 Maestroszq OTC Short Theory: Why GME’s Borrow Fee Might Have Declined
 | I’ve got a short speculation regarding the long-term decline in the short-borrow fee. https://preview.redd.it/itpf2fag423e1.png?width=1198&format=png&auto=webp&s=5a92e25ca5c54410df2aadb5dd1fadc27ddd4981 The data goes back to mid-2023, but I believe the borrow fee was higher following the spike in prices and has been gradually declining ever since. It made sense for small funds and retail investors to jump on the bandwagon and short from the 2021 highs after the buying frenzy ended, and institutional investors showcased their power by halting the market event. Many small retail investors and funds saw this as a potentially profitable trade to short. Here’s my theory on why the short-borrow fee may have declined and continues to do so: Fundamentals - GameStop Has Cash I think the fundamentals have changed, especially since RC turned things around and reduced the bleeding, now with billions in cash. This is a game-changer, as the risk of the company going out of business is essentially gone. Cash also adds to the upside potential, which has yet to be fully realized. With a solid management team and the first phase of cost reductions completed, it sets the stage for the next phase: expansion. This fuels speculation about the company’s future, as investors await what management will do next. Institutional Holdings Increasing Despite numerous posts claiming that funds are just rebalancing, without addressing the fact that Renaissance Technologies, one of the best-performing funds on Wall Street, does not manage ETFs or public funds, has increased its holdings by over 30%. This is speculative, but could funds be going long because they see improved fundamentals, with their algorithms identifying solid technical setups? Also, institutions might be going long to hedge their short exposure as part of more complex strategies, though I don’t have full insight into these methods. That said, I find it interesting and want to offer the following theory. OTC Short Theory If institutional investors (market makers and prime brokers) are primarily shorting OTC or through other opaque mechanisms, then the borrow fee spikes we observe are likely driven largely by retail and small fund demand. When retail and small funds reduce their shorting activity or participation, borrow fees drop, as we’re seeing now. Conversely, when retail-driven shorting demand spikes, borrow fees rise, because retail activity directly interacts with broker-lent shares. This explains why institutional borrowing doesn’t necessarily impact the visible borrow fee, it operates in a different ecosystem. Retail and Small Fund Demand: Borrow fees displayed by brokers typically reflect retail traders and smaller funds borrowing shares to short. When this demand spikes, competition for shares increases, leading to higher borrow fees. If retail and small fund demand diminishes, the borrow fee naturally decreases as fewer participants compete for the available shares. Institutional Activity Over-the-Counter: Large market participants often short shares through private deals or OTC routes, skipping over the typical lending pools that retail and smaller funds use. These kinds of trades don’t really affect the borrow fees you see in the market. So, their activity, whether they’re shorting a lot or not, won’t show up in the borrow fees charged by brokers. Market Makers and Prime Brokers: Similarly, market makers and prime brokers are operating in their own lane, separate from the usual borrow-fee structure that retail traders deal with. https://preview.redd.it/o9ahz437623e1.png?width=1198&format=png&auto=webp&s=7c68b423ed7ce4c655e5a53307c4516aa4260cd0 Since May's price spike, the borrow fee has dropped to lows below 0.3%. When retail and small funds reduce their shorting or participation, borrow fees drop, as we are currently seeing. Conversely, when retail-driven shorting demand rises, borrow fees increase because retail activity directly interacts with broker-lent shares. With all that in mind, did the situation for institutional investors really change that much? Are they still taking the same short positions? submitted by Maestroszq to Superstonk [link] [comments] |
2024.11.25 14:35 Th3B1ackCat Adjustment Question
How often per year do you have to adjust? I’m having such a hard time figuring out hypothyroidism. I cannot stay in range. I feel great in range then 2 months later I’m over 10 feeling poor and starting all over again. I take it consistently. I’m just feeling down at the moment and want to hear positivity.
When you start feeling poor do you contact your doctor right away to ask to get tsh tested and ask for adjustment? I don’t know how this works.
I hope I am able to stay consistently in range someday.

Never fails. Everytime I activate a 2xp token my next game is a sweatfest. My team can't push, we get spawn camped and somehow every player on their team is immune to the first 3 shots. I get like a billion hit markers but no kills. Meanwhile, I get lasered and my team is also shit.
They don't even try to hide it. Their team will be all high prestige, all computer players, all meta classes. Then, my team will not even be prestige, all console players. Using basic level 1 weapons, camping.

2024.11.25 14:35 Valutin Building a NAS for home, still undecided for the software deployment
Hello everyone.
I have started buying hardware as my N54L is unresponsive (long story short: napp-it, It's been unplug for a while, switching it on, I had the red HP of death, changed the battery, no more red HP of death, managed to boot up once, but now... it's not booting up).
This is for a NAS at home and this is my plan: -Mobo + APU+ RAM -2 2.5 SSD mirrored for system -2 NVME mirrored for data -4 HDD (Raidz 2 for lesser access data and backup)
Users: 2 teenagers (hard google workspace users since they have it at school), wife (became nearly as proficient on using the google suite as my kids... since she is looking over their homework) and me.
Objective: -Backup of files ( RAW pictures, some movie/media recordings) -Firewall/VPN/Adguard with Opnsense (since I am using the same thing at work, this will allow us to access our folders from outside of home) -Plex to share the movies to the TV? Does the tv connect to the server and then I control the UI with the TV remote? I always play video from a pc connected over hdmi. -Backup of phone's pictures folder.
I asked the kids about whether they prefer a browser UI or a share folder, elder said both, second kid asked what's a share folder, so we will go with browser?... Wife... I believe she would be ok with the browser side. My objective is to set it up and for it to be easy enough so that they don't rely on google drive... (believe me, I witness my wife video tape my daughter, then sync it to google drive over the web, so that my elder could access it on the laptop, so effectively a round trip to google servers... then complain it was slow.. for them.. it just works. Asking them to open an app to navigate to a share folder is too complex)
I am still wondering about the OS side. I have experience with Proxmox (maintaining 2 nodes at work, but limited to install VMs and run them) but a lot less with Truenas (installed once at work to just set up some iscsi target for some VMs backup). I see a lot of people praising Truenas.. but I am starting to think... if I really need it or not? all our computers are on the same windows user profile (mine), we don't log in/out. We have separate browser profile and that's all they seeem to need.
My current plan was: Proxmox baremetal VM: OPNSENSE -> in rpool (2.5"SSD) VM: Nexcloud (Memories?) -> rpool, data in NVME on a separate qcow2 VM: Plex -> rpool, data on the HDD VM: Photoprism/Immich (if memories is not enough), rpool, data in NVME. add-on Cockpit: I believe this is enough for me to administer and make a SMB share on both the NVME(short medieum) term + Spinning disk (long term, already considered back-up of files from desktop).
Can Nextcloud/Photoprism or Immich point to data existing on sharefolders from Proxmox or do the data have to be inside qcow? can they all points to the same folders, so multiple way to access the same picture for example? < does it actually make sense?
My objective is to spin down the hard disk when not in use, we very very rarely watch tv anyway and I was planning to do one backup every week of NVME share folder + Nextcloud + Photoprism to the spinning disks or bi-weekly. So, all SSD (2.5 and nvme) are accessible 7/24.
So the sanity check from anyone.. does all of the above makes sense? or Should I just put truenas, share one folder and be done with it... The only thing I think... might be an issue that I overlooked, Proxmox makes backup of entire VMs... can it make something like shadow copies (I think I'll have to read about PVB)? Can I just rely on Nextcloud versioning and keep everything inside qcow? Should I install Truenas baremetal and re-do the whole thing (seems like deployment of nextcloud/photoprism/immigh is easier with datasets)?
Thanks to everyone's input.

I'm Edward a 5'9" thick Latino teddy bear from Southern California, who is super affectionate, kinda funny, charmingly misanthropic, and indoorsy but suffers from anxiety and depression I have shoulder length black hair, with standard brown eyes, scruffy beard, and light olive skin, just looking to be loved and love someone in return. I'm a NEET (Unemployed) I like spooky things like the paranormal or the supernatural. I like to cook and learn new recipes, I'm into music and really wish I was talented enough to make my own, I like rock, metal, punk, indie, electronica, some hip hop/rap. I do smoke weed but it's not my whole personality. I play video games, but currently only have a Nintendo Switch.
I'm physically affectionate, kinda clingy, and have a really dark and irreverent sense of humor, and can joke about pretty much everything including myself, I would like someone who can appreciate that, with similar qualities as well as being attractive, modest, monogamous, and child free. I want a long term relationship with no children. I'm looking for a woman who is kind, caring, and supportive, who's willing to put the time and effort to make a committed relationship work, and treat me like a priority and not an afterthought.
I'm looking for something IRL, but have no problem starting online, as long as we can meet if things go well, I'm willing to relocate for the right woman. If any of this interests you please send a selfie along with a little about yourself, low effort replies will be ignored.

2024.11.25 14:35 TraditionalActive832 Boyfriend using for gym gains
My boyfriend has decided to start injecting steroids for gym gains and to look and feel better about himself. Context - when I first got with him 4 years ago he was very fit and healthy naturally we both put on a few pounds over time until he got to a point he was miserable about how he looked, he tried all types of diet and rejoined the gym but this time went a lot harder, he managed to get his weight back down and I am personally very proud of his natural transformation which a lot of lads would look up too, but over the time he started until now his confidence hasn’t come back fully, I catch him staring in the mirror, making harsh comments to himself, constantly looking at other gym lads on TikTok and social media and comparing himself to them and he definitely doesn’t see himself as I view him. I find it really sad he can’t feel confident how he is but now he has decided to take it a step further and has chosen to begin injecting steroids, i told him I am worried and I don’t want him to do it but he is stubborn minded and now I am at a point I would rather know as much as I can to help and support him instead of giving up and still worrying about him as I love him very much.
He mentioned it was going to be Sustanon 250 and I think it’s one injection every 2 weeks, he has tried to reassure me he has “researched” everything and it’s going to be more beneficial than negative but I have also read into it and I am just more concerned if anything. As he hasn’t been tested or prescribed this medication I don’t agree that it can be safe, he said he is only taking this one cycle aswell but if anyone could please let me know any advice on what I can expect, any warning signs to look out for and anyways I can support him to help him (I wish he wouldn’t take them but I don’t want to give up on him)

2024.11.25 14:35 Hadoukyn The Harsh Truth About the Memecoin Market: Why Everyone’s Losing Money and How to Actually Profit
Introduction: The Current State of the Memecoin Market
The memecoin market is in chaos. Everywhere you turn, people are aping into the next “1000x” coin they heard about on Twitter or Telegram, only to watch their investments evaporate in hours. Fake promises, poorly researched decisions, and misplaced trust in so-called experts have created a battlefield where the majority are losing money.
In this frenzy, the same cycle repeats: traders get lured in by the hype, fail to do proper research, and end up as exit liquidity for the smarter, more prepared players. The dream of turning $100 into $10,000 in a week blinds many to the harsh realities of this volatile space. But is there a way to survive—better yet, thrive—in the memecoin jungle? Yes, but it starts with recognizing the pitfalls and acting smarter.
The FURU Problem: Wolves in Sheep’s Clothing
One of the biggest threats to new and struggling traders is the rise of FURUs (fake gurus). These influencers dominate social media platforms, posting screenshots of massive “profits” and hyping the next coin they claim will make you rich overnight. What they don’t tell you is that their profits are often fabricated, cherry-picked, or generated by dumping on their own followers.
FURUs thrive on referral links, paid Telegram groups, and a never-ending cycle of exploiting their audiences. When a FURU promotes a coin, take a moment to observe what happens. The price often pumps briefly, creating FOMO among their followers. But as soon as the masses jump in, the FURU sells, leaving everyone else holding the bag. They don’t care about the project, its fundamentals, or your financial well-being—they care about their own pockets.
The lesson here? Be skeptical. Look beyond the hype and evaluate the true intentions of those giving you “advice.”
The Danger of Fake Airdrops and Giveaways
Another trap many fall into is the allure of free airdrops and giveaways. They sound too good to be true because they are. Fake airdrops are often designed to compromise your wallet, steal your assets, or manipulate you into sharing private information. Remember, if you’re not paying for the product, you are the product.
Similarly, FURUs use fake giveaways to farm engagement on social media. You’ve likely seen them: “Retweet, like, and tag three friends for a chance to win $10,000!” But how often do you see actual winners? Almost never. The promised prizes rarely, if ever, materialize.
The takeaway? Stay vigilant. If someone is offering you something for free in this space, there’s almost always a hidden agenda. Your security is worth far more than the fleeting chance at “free” money.
A Sustainable Approach to the Memecoin Market
Here’s the hard truth: the memecoin market isn’t about chasing every shiny new token that promises unrealistic returns. It’s about understanding the game, doing proper research, and applying a disciplined strategy. Over the past few months, I’ve dedicated significant time to studying this market—its patterns, players, and pitfalls.
I’ve found a way to profit sustainably—not by chasing 1000x dreams, but by targeting realistic 2-10x opportunities. It’s a method that filters out noise, identifies coins with genuine potential, and minimizes risk. I won’t promise you overnight riches, but I will promise a strategy built on real research and tested results.
If you’re tired of being another victim in this market and want to learn how to navigate it effectively, DM me. I’ll share my insights and methodology, but let me be clear: there’s no free lunch. This isn’t a charity, and my work has value. If you’re serious about turning things around, you’ll need to invest in yourself and your education.
Closing Thoughts
The memecoin market is full of traps, but it doesn’t have to be a losing game. By recognizing the dangers, avoiding fake gurus, and adopting a sustainable approach, you can shift the odds in your favor. The question is: are you ready to stop being a victim and start being a strategist?
The choice is yours.
