Getty Images\nIt’s never fair to paint all retail investors with the same brush, but it’s also rather fair to say that pretty much all retail investors love themselves a short squeeze.\nBut in the case of a little-known biopharma stock Longeveron,many retail “Apes” on social media are looking at a short-squeeze opportunity that appears perhaps too good to be true…or too short to be squozed?\nLongeveron shares began to rocket upward last Thursday after the company announced the Food and Drug Administration had given the green light for its drug Lomecel-B to be used in the treatment of Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome, a congenital heart defect in infants that affects roughly 1,000 babies every year.\nThat rather narrow use-case upside had a much larger effect on the stock price, which gained more than 850% over three torrid days of trading going into Tuesday.\nThe heavily shorted stock also benefited from — you guessed it! — increased social-media chatter.\nBut as we’ve come to learn from the last few months, not all meme-stock momentum is as authentically viral as it might first appear.\nIn fact, because Longeveron is so niche and the market cap is so small, many investors on Reddit saw the initial move higher, and many posts about it, as “shilling” or” spamming,” terms that Reddit Apes use to denote bad actors playing with the power of meme stocks to create one out whole cloth.\n“Spam doesnt work, just stop,” moaned ArlendmcFarland on subreddit r/Shortsqueeze in response to a post pitching LGVN as a huge short-squeeze candidate before the market’s open on Tuesday.\nRetail investors have also become sensitive to biopharma plays after meme round-trips on stocks like Ocugen,among others. They are also more generally cautious about squeezing super-small-cap outfits like they did most recently with Phunware.\nStill, some posts on Reddit showed a pretty…uniquely thought-out case for squeezing Longerveron.\n“LGVN – 110% SHORT INTREST – 3 SHORT SQUEEZE SIGNALS – 100% UTILIZATION – COST TO BORROW WENT TO 450% INCREDIABLE 2.7MILLION FLOAT – all in maybe squeeze harder then yesturday” postulated user michaeldaversa999 Tuesday morning.\nAfter Tuesday’s bell, however, those concerned about piling into LGVN looked prescient.\nShares in Longeveron closed down 38.9% on Tuesday after falling as much 47.5% on the day.\nBut the short sellers might have overplayed their hand.\nAccording to data from Ortex, which made the rounds on social media close to Tuesday’s closing bell, the short interest on Longeveron had surged to almost 120% of the free float, a number that brought to mind the heady days of GameStop in January, and prompting retail investors to ponder how short sellers can once again short more shares than are available without creating synthetic shares or naked shorting.\nTo be fair, Longeveron has a comparatively tiny float, with a market cap of just under $330 million even after its recent massive gains, so it’s a pretty narrow battlefield, but the 120% was just too much for some to ignore.\nIn the first few minutes of after-hours trading on Tuesday, volume on Longeveron stood at 11 million shares, already easily exceeding the stock’s daily average, signaling that options action on the tiny biopharma play had fully caught fire, pushing the stock up more than 3% in 5 minutes before it tanked once again.\nBut while we fully expect some meme-ish skirmishing in LGVN shares on Wednesday, even the most squeeze-thirsty Apes are looking at the stock and thinking:\n\n“Worth buying back into lgvn?” asked user u/JonMorrison85 around midday Tuesday. “Looks like it’s formed a good bottom here. Trying to decide if I should jump back in or not. Still has huge potential.”\nFellow Apes preached caution.\n“Idk? I’m going to sideline this one until I see a good entry, too much potential to tumble back to sub $15 so I’ll wait it out,” responded kaitrix22.\nAnd one thing meme squeezers might want to take into account on Wednesday is that they’re dealing with the first real holiday market week since January’s squeeze.\nThat potential lack of widespread retail investor engagement as U.S. markets prepare for Turkey Day, was visible in shares of ur-meme AMC Entertainment,which fell more than 5% after trading just over half of its average daily volume.\nAnd GameStop fared even worse on Tuesday, closing down 13.6% after trading volume appeared to fall off a cliff after a chaotic open and falling short interest.\nAll in all, the pre-holiday hum around meme stocks is setting up a very intriguing pre-Thanksgiving humpday.","kind":null,"is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":true,"is_publish_live":null,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":874906732,"gmtCreate":1637717101724,"gmtModify":1637717101811,"author":{"id":"3582016007295967","authorId":"3582016007295967","name":"LWHo","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/10f0c4ac048964487e2597e5315d2c20","vip":1,"crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"htmlText":"[财迷]&nbsp;","listText":"[财迷]&nbsp;","text":"[财迷]","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/874906732","repostId":1168694992,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"CN"},{"id":874069856,"gmtCreate":1637712853865,"gmtModify":1637712853974,"author":{"id":"3579085067033099","authorId":"3579085067033099","name":"deadcow","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b73e551a33ab83c745d06a9d890b1f93","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"htmlText":"ape","listText":"ape","text":"ape","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/874069856","repostId":1168694992,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"comments":[{"id":6699533,"gmtCreate":1637713540360,"gmtModify":1637713540463,"authorId":3581931076615563,"author":{"id":3581931076615563,"authorId":3581931076615563,"name":"yyhwin","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/78727032603c2751ac0b6b6cfb678920","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"individualDisplayBadges":[]},"repliedAuthorId":0,"objectId":874069856,"type":1,"supId":0,"prevId":0,"content":"Hi","text":"Hi","html":"Hi"}],"langContent":"CN"}],"isCommentEnd":false,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":115,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":false,"deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.25.1","shortVersion":"4.25.1","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"laohu8","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/1168694992"}
