You know this might bleed into other similar stocks. Pump up the equity, let them monetize the outstanding debt and save the company.

Requirements..

Market cap at or near $1B
Big short interest
Lots of debt
In otherwise bad to poor condition

Markets usually move on sentiment, data or news events. Take your pick. Then they usually reverse and reverse again.

You really never know the outcome until the closing bell rings.

Read the Fed Minutes. It's very dry but there's no indication that Wall Street will get their quick cut to zero. Wall Street doesn't seem to mind though (?)

Probably just seller exhaustion, people FOMOing the market and of course the worthless short volatility crowd.

I hate the short vol crowd. 🤬

lol is ryan cohen really bailing from $BBBY?

Wouldn't you?

I think the plan was for them to do a secondary offering at these elevated prices to reduce the debt load and improve the business. Supposedly the board of BBBY wont be doing that since they are afraid to. So I guess it just go back downhill and perhaps eventually into bankruptcy.

Shame, really.

People buying BBBY @ $25+ believing in the guy and it turns out he had already sold. WSB is great for the comedy.

Stocks are taking a dump today. The rate hike odds have gone up a bit too.

I suspected stocks might pull back some so I sold my index funds a week or so ago. However, Im not expecting a deep plunge, just a small pullback until October.

Large contraction in US manufacturing and services. PMI composite at 45%.

More data indicating a recession.

Yields down. Stocks up.

Triple hike back to being the favorite. The official number of new people applying for unemployment declined a bit. I do kind of believe in the idea that the Fed will go to 3.5-3.75 and just let it sit there for awhile... the question is whether Wall Street would be fine with that.

Don't bogart my COLA. Let inflation stay high through the end of September, then crash in early October just before the polls. It can turn negative the first week of October for all I care.
